food IS a theme park
Hello from the Most Magical Place on Earth, which has — dare we say — some of the most magical hotels on Earth, too?

From the sandy beaches of Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort to the New England vibes of Disney’s Yacht Club Resort and the European feeling of Disney’s Riviera Resort to the fun pop culture-inspired theme at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney World hotels are all part of the magic. So what’s been happening at the hotels lately? Let’s take a look and find out!
Before you head out on your next Disney World trip, let’s go through the checklist! Hotel reservations? Check. Park Pass Reservations and tickets? Double check. A list of all the best snacks and treats? Oh yeah. So what are you missing?
Ready to go?
You may want to take a look at what’s NOT going to be available in Disney World before you leave for your vacation. That way, you’ll be prepared for the closures and they won’t come as a nasty surprise during the trip. To make that easy for ya, we’ve got a full list of what’s going to be CLOSED at Disney World next week. [Read more…]
It might still be summer in a lot of places, but Disney World is fully getting into the fall spirit!
Magic Kingdom
There are pumpkins on Main Street, U.S.A., spooky treats to try, and Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is back! So, you would think all of this would bring out a lot of people to the parks, right? Well — not so fast. It’s also back-to-school season, which means a lot of families are no loner on their summer vacations. If you’re wondering how this is affecting the crowds, let’s take a look at the wait times from last week to find out!
We spotted some MagicBand+ designs that are perfect for Disney parks superfans!
MagicBand+
Earlier this year, Disney’s MagicBand+ was officially launched in the parks. The new MagicBand+ technology includes several additional features for guests to explore, including interactions with the 50th-anniversary character statues, a new interactive game in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and synchronized lighting with the nighttime spectaculars. We’ve seen a TON of MagicBand+ designs hit the shelves, and today we spotted two options that are calling your name if you’re a Disney parks mega fan!
And just like that… another week has come and gone in Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
This past week was an exciting one with the opening of the four remaining 2022 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival booths, the appearance of Mickey pumpkin wreaths in Magic Kingdom, and the opening of the NEW BoardWalk Deli! If you’re heading to Disney World next week, there’s a lot for you to see and do, but there’s some information you’ll need first: let’s take a look at Disney World’s park hours and Park Pass Reservation availability for the week starting August 21st and ending August 27th.
Halloween has arrived in Disney World and we are feeling the spooky vibes.
Mickey pumpkin time!
We’re also in LOVE with all the Halloween merchandise we’ve seen so far, including the Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween stuff. HOWEVER, one Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party souvenir has arrived fashionably late. Yep, we’re talking about the Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party EARS.
These days, it’s nearly impossible to go to Disney World without a smartphone.
Spaceship Earth
Okay, it’s not totally impossible, but having one certainly makes your life easier when you’re trying to use things like Mobile Order, MagicMobile, Disney Genie+, and virtual queues for rides like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. But unfortunately, the My Disney Experience app and its many features can be a bit of a battery drain, and if you forgot to pack that portable charger, you might find yourself without enough juice to snap all those vacation photos. Thankfully, EPCOT has a solution!
If you love cookies, you’ve probably been to Gideon’s Bakehouse.

You’ve also probably stood in line to try some of their limited flavors, too, like the Cookie Truffles, the Rocky Road Cookie, or the Orange Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookie. However, Gideon’s just announced a limited cookie that might just be the hardest one to get if you don’t act fast!
There are a lot of incredible dining spots in Disney Springs, but Wine Bar George is one of our favorites!
Wine Bar George in Disney Springs
Wine Bar George is known for having over 130 different wine options, along with a delicious selection of small and shareable plates, and you can stop by the restaurant to eat lunch or dinner on weekdays and brunch on weekends. And we have good news — there are three NEW menu additions to try!
In case you haven’t already noticed, Halloween has arrived in Disney World!
