food IS a theme park
Who’s ready to save some money?!
Walt Disney World Dolphin
Everyone, right? We’re going to assume it’s everyone. That’s why we keep our eyes peeled for all of the best and biggest savings and discounts you can get at Disney World! From tickets to hotel rooms to food, we got your back when it comes to saving money. So, let’s talk about a NEW deal at some Disney hotels this summer!
It may not be what you want to hear, but it’s time to face the facts — FastPass+ is GONE and Disney Genie+ is now the service guests need to use to skip the standby lines in the parks.
Disney Genie
There’s a bit of a learning curve when it comes to Genie+ given its different format and specific rules. With that learning curve can come a LOT of mistakes. If you don’t come in fully prepared, you could make some of these big Genie+ mistakes while you’re in the park and they could cost you precious time or cause some big frustrations. Today we’re breaking down the Genie+ mistakes EVERYONE makes and how to avoid them so your next trip can be the best one yet!
If there’s one thing we know about Disney World, it’s that there’s almost always something new and exciting happening!
Magic Kingdom
We’re in the parks almost every day so we can keep you up to date on everything that’s happening in Disney World! Today, we’re heading to the Magic Kingdom so we can bring you what’s new in food, construction, and merchandise. Let’s get into it!
This summer is bringing all kinds of new and returning offerings to Disney World! We’ve already seen the soft return of Minnie Vans in the park, and Disney recently announced a LOT of new snacks and treats. But there’s even more on the way!
EPCOT at night
Last month, we announced that the Fourth of July fireworks will be returning to Magic Kingdom on July 3rd and 4th. Apparently many guests are excited to see the fireworks return, because park passes have already sold out for Magic Kingdom on July 4th! So if you’re planning your Fourth of July trip now, are you just out of luck when it comes to watching a fireworks show on the holiday? Turns out, you’re not! ANOTHER Disney World park is bringing back their patriotic fireworks show as well! [Read more…]
Disney has been releasing a LOT of new ears lately!
Lots of Minnie Ears
We’ve seen Lightyear ears, pretty blue ears, Thor ears (that are…interesting to say the least), and more. There are some pairs of ears that you can almost always count on to be in the parks, but then there are those that FLY off of the shelves! And guess what?! A VERY popular pair of ears has just been restocked in Disney World!
There are lots of exciting dining and snack updates happening in Disney World these days!
Brunch spread at Olivia’s Cafe
In the past few months, the parks and resorts have opened several new restaurants and we’ve still got more on the way! On top of that, we’ve got a long list of new snacks available for the summer season. And now, Disney has made a very exciting announcement about an under-the-radar restaurant!
If you’re visiting Disney World soon, you’ll get to see a LOT of new things. The Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind coaster opened last month, and the updated Finding Nemo show in Disney’s Animal Kingdom is now open as well! But those aren’t the only new offerings in the parks.
Main Street U.S.A.
Disney is consistently coming out with new treats, eats, and menus for all of the restaurants and snack locations around the parks. We recently took a look at some new treats coming out for Father’s Day this weekend, but now we have even MORE news for you when it comes to Disney’s dining scene. And some of these announcements are BIG. [Read more…]
Disney’s Hollywood Studios has seen some massive menu CHANGES recently, and more are on the way!
Mama Melrose
Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater got a menu overhaul not too long ago, and we brought you along with us as we tried the new menu items over at 50’s Prime Time Cafe. We’ve also seen new treats arrive in the park, including a coffee we had waited forever for. And we’ve shared how buffets will soon return to Hollywood & Vine, but there’s yet ANOTHER change coming to a Hollywood Studios restaurant soon!
Minnie Ears are the quintessential Disney Parks accessory!
Can you EVER have enough?
No matter what you’re into, there’s a pair of Mickey or Minnie ears for you! We recently saw the release of these Fuzzy Ewok Minnie Ears, and the popular Scarlet Witch Minnie Ears (which sold out online super quickly) have made their way to Disney World as well. Disney also just released new Minnie Ears online, and there are so many options to choose from wherever you are. And, guess what?! We just spotted another new pair of Minnie Ears in Disney World!
Dining at Disney World is DIFFERENT these days.
Hollywood and Vine
Some restaurants are still closed, some restaurants have seen BIG menu overhauls, and some restaurants are reopening, but with some significant price increases. Even at the restaurants that are open, there have been some changes. Some former character dining spots aren’t featuring characters right now, and some former buffet locations are serving family-style or prix fixe meals. Over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, one restaurant that has been a little bit different lately will be seeing a BIG change soon!
