food IS a theme park
Summer is in full swing in Disney World — but we’re already thinking about the holiday season!
Christmas Decorations in the Magic Kingdom
Delicious treats, festive decor, special holiday entertainment, and merch?! Sign us up! We’re all about the holidays in Disney World, and if you can’t wait either, we’ve got some exciting news — Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party tickets are on sale now!
It’s almost time for one of the BEST events in Disney World! The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is just around the corner, and we can’t wait. If you’re heading to the festival this year, we’ve got a LOT of resources to help you get ready!
It’s Food and Wine Festival season once again!
First of all, make sure you’ve seen all the food booths that are coming to the park. There’s a brand new booth that’s all about French fries, and we’re SO excited to try it! And once you’ve seen the booths, you can check out the FULL MENUS for each one! There’s also going to be entertainment, a cheese crawl, new merchandise, and more. To help you prepare, we’ve got a free printable map that’ll make navigating the festival a breeze.Â
A lot of talk has surrounded Disney World and supply chain shortages lately.
Main Street, U.S.A. Train Station
From missing menu items to shelves missing merchandise, multiple areas of the parks have been affected. On a recent trip to Magic Kingdom, we noticed that Skittles were missing from a few places in the Main Street Confectionery! But, instead of this shortage being related to supply chain issues, it turns out this might be because Skittles are CHANGING — here’s everything we know.
Searching for some tiny, adorable collectibles? Wishables should check off that box!
So many cute ones to choose from!
These little plushes are themed after attractions, movies, and even parades! You can choose to buy specific characters, although the majority of the plushes come in mystery bags (which adds some fun to collecting)! And today, during our trip to Magic Kingdom, we found a new Wishables set inspired by a classic attraction!
Character dining is one of our favorite ways to eat. Characters + good food = perfect combo.
Poet Minnie at Topolino’s Terrace
While many character dining spots have returned to Disney World, several restaurants had yet to see Mickey or Minnie visiting with diners since 2020. But that’s changing now, and here’s what you need to know!
Love dining with characters? Been missing those character dining experiences that haven’t yet returned to Disney World? Well, do we have news for you!
Crystal Palace
Disney has recently made some BIG changes when it comes to its restaurants. Menu overhauls have hit 50’s Prime Time Cafe and Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant, buffets are returning soon to Hollywood & Vine, and other changes have taken place. Soon, some big character meal changes will be hitting the resort too — and one place that’ll be impacted is Magic Kingdom!
One of the most popular restaurants in Disney World is about to get BETTER.
‘Ohana
‘Ohana is a table service restaurant located at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. It serves family-style, all-you-can-eat meals at breakfast and dinner, with some fan-favorite dishes being the bread pudding and those amazing noodles. Now, Disney has announced a CHANGE coming soon to this restaurant! [Read more…]
There’s just something special about meeting your favorite character in Disney World.
Minnie Mouse in her 50th outfit
And of course it’s super special to meet Mickey (and hug him!), the mouse who started it all. Mickey meets guests in all four parks in Disney World, and now Minnie has joined him at his meeting spot in Magic Kingdom!
Sometimes when you’re in Disney World, you just need a quick pick-me-up to get you through a long park day. If you’re not in the mood for coffee or soda, it might be tricky to find the right solution!
Sometimes you just don’t want a coffee
We’ve tried several different drinks in Disney World in the pursuit of non-coffee caffeination, including a Starbucks energy drink, and not one but two Starbucks refreshers. Joffrey’s Tea & Coffee introduced four non-coffee caffeinated beverages during the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival this year, and now, you can get one of those drinks at more locations!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom might just be Disney World’s most beautiful park.
Animal Kingdom is just so beautiful!
Not only is it just so lush and green (and SHADY — which is really important this time of year), but there are animals to see, fun attractions to ride, a land devoted ENTIRELY to dinosaurs (yes, we think Dinoland is pretty underrated), and some AMAZING food (hello, cheeseburger pods!). But what’s been going on with this park lately? Let’s find out!
