food IS a theme park
It’s time to catch up on all the construction updates going on around Walt Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
We are quickly approaching the beginning of the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebrations, meaning that many refurbishments are getting close to finishing. Plus, we’ve even seen some new ones pop up! So, we’ve got a lot to cover — let’s get to it!
The wonderful thing about Disney Parks is that EVERYTHING comes with a story.
S.E.A. Room at Skipper Canteen
Even the newest cookie shop at Disney Springs has its own backstory, but there’s one tale that encompasses almost all of Disney’s theme parks! We bet there’s a good change you might not even know this is a thing (and for some folks, it’s a BIG thing!). We’re talkin’ bout the elusive, mysterious, and sometimes familiar Society of Explorers and Adventurers — sounds awesome, right? Just wait til you learn more!
This morning, we showed you a first look at the newly returned Character Dining at Storytellers Cafe in Disneyland!
Pluto and Chip!
Now we’re back to give you a full review of the breakfast and our experience! What are you waiting for? Let’s get going!
Another week has gone by and LOTS of big Disney news has been shared!
Magic Kingdom
Whether you love Disney Cruise Line, have been waiting for the EPCOT monorail to reopen, or are wondering just when nighttime shows may return to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we’ve got all the updates you need to know right here!
We’ve been keeping an eye out for all the refurbishments and closings that will happen in Disney World this week!
“it’s a small world”
A lot of the same construction is happening around the park, but there’s one BIG ride that’s closing for a few days this week! If you’re heading into Magic Kingdom soon, make sure you plan around this closure!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has officially reopened! And one of the most popular bars at Disney World, Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, has reopened with it.
Let us in!!
But getting into Trader Sam’s can be a little difficult. When we first visited upon reopening, we had to sign up to get into a virtual line, and we’ve even seen the virtual queue fill up fast.
Disney World’s Grand Floridian Resort offers quite a few places to dine.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
One of those spots, 1900 Park Fare, is known for serving one of the most unique dishes in Disney World — Strawberry Soup. It’s not a smoothie, but a cold, sweet soup. However, 1900 Park Fare is currently closed, so where can we get Strawberry Soup?? We’ll tell ya!
Earlier today, Storytellers Cafe at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa at Disneyland Resort brought back their character dining breakfast.
There’s Minnie!
And while many meals that were formerly served as buffets in the Disney parks have been converted to family-style meals, Storytellers Cafe is actually serving up a BUFFET! While that buffet contains a bunch of options you’re used to seeing — Mickey waffles, bacon, etc. — it’s also got some drinks served in a unique way!
Character dining has slowly but surely started returning to the Disney Parks!
MICKEY!
Restaurants like Chef Mickey’s, Tusker House, and Hollywood & Vine have brought back character dining in Disney World, but now it’s time for Disneyland! The Plaza Inn in Disneyland is bringing back character dining in August, but another restaurant’s character dining returns TODAY.
UPDATE! Magical Dining has been extended by two weeks and will now run through October 17th.
If there’s one thing we love more than Disney dining, it’s a DEAL on Disney dining!
Disney Springs is a great place to spend your evening!
We’re always on the lookout for all the great Disney deals and discounts and, OF COURSE, for all the tasty eats. What if we told you we spotted a CRAZY good deal coming to some Disney World restaurants?
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
