food IS a theme park
What’s your favorite Disney World theme park?
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Each park is very unique and offers something different to see and do than the others. One thing that they have in common is that there’s almost always something new to check out in each one. So today, we’re heading to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to take a look at what’s new in food, construction, and merchandise! Let’s get started!
 It’s summertime in Disney World, and you know what that means — random downpours and unbearable heat.Â
Take some tips from the pros for your next trip!
But that doesn’t mean your visit to the parks has to be any less fun! With proper planning, you can still have successful trips in even the worst of weather. That’s why we bring you lists of what you need in your park bag, what you’ll need with you when it rains, our favorite items to cool down with, and much more. Proper planning is going to be essential this next week, as Florida will be hitting dangerous levels of heat.Â
There can be a lot of unexpected problems that come up during your Disney World vacation.
Tram to the Transportation and Ticket Center
The weather can cause ride closures, you could forget your phone charger at the hotel, or someone in your group could get sick. Many of these issues you can plan for ahead of time and find solutions, which we like to help you out with! So, we want to talk about another unexpected problem you might run into in Disney World, and how to handle it.
Walt Disney World has TONS of restaurants.
Some guests aren’t changing their plans!
Picking where to eat can be overwhelming especially if this is your first trip to Disney. From some of the best quick services to the worst food in Disney, there are LOTS of opinions. Breaking down every Disney World restaurant would definitely take a while so today, we’re just going to focus on a select few. Let’s head to EPCOT together and rank their best (and worst) table service!
Many things have been reopening at Disney World lately, and even more is coming back soon!
Victoria & Albert’s
More character dining is returning, meet and greets are back, and spots that have been closed for over 2 years are reopening. One of these spots is Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. This is one of the (if not THE) nicest restaurants on property and is also one of the most expensive. The fine dining experience returns at the end of this month, and now, we’ve got a look inside the new interior design of Victoria & Albert’s!
If you’ve been following along here recently, then you know that we’ve been in full EPCOT Food & Wine Festival mode!
2022 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
We tried SO much food at the festival on the opening day, we checked out all the new merchandise collections, and we even stopped by to watch one of the Eat to the Beat concerts! But we’ve still got several more months of festival fun to enjoy, including the upcoming 2022 Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend in November. If you’re planning on running in one (or all) of the races this year, Disney released a look at the medals!
UPDATE: The new store has officially opened in Toy Story Land. Go on a full tour here!Â
Things are always changing in Disney World but one land is getting some BIG changes soon!
Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story Land!
In Disney’s Hollywood Studios, construction is underway in Toy Story Land, where a new shop and a new restaurant are expected to open sometime in 2022. We recently went over everything we know about these projects, and now we have an update!
Eating some of the best Disney snacks and shopping for some of the best Disney merchandise all WITHOUT paying for a park ticket?!
Disney Springs
Yep, we’re talking about one of our favorite Disney World spots — Disney Springs! Between drool-worthy restaurants, exciting entertainment, and the best shopping around — there’s always something exciting happening. So, come with us to take a look at what’s new in Disney Springs!
More character meet and greets have returned to Disney World!
Launch Bay
We recently saw Snow White, Aladdin, and Jasmine return to Magic Kingdom, and that’s just the beginning! Over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, characters have returned to Star Wars Launch Bay. Before Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge, this was the go-to spot to meet Star Wars characters in Disney World. We’ve seen Darth Vader and Chewbacca meeting here, and now, another friend from a galaxy far, far away has joined them!
Let’s face it — the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival can get pricey.
EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Passport
Although the prices of dishes might seem inexpensive on menus, the portion sizes are generally smaller, meaning you’ll want to eat more, and the next thing you know, you’ve blown your festival budget out of the water (but, hey, it’s okay — it happens). But there are some great festival eats that really ARE super cheap — under $5 to be exact — and we’re going to tell you about the best of them!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
