food IS a theme park
If you’ve never explored the dining options at Disney World Resort hotels, you are seriously missing out!
Disney’s Grand Floridian lobby
Some of the best restaurants on property are found in Disney World hotels, like Boma, Topolino’s Terrace, and ‘Ohana — just to name a few. But, even Disney World restaurants can be closed for refurbishment from time to time. That was supposed to be the case for one hotel dining location, but now things have changed!
Disney World is no stranger to change — in fact, it changes every single day!
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
Imagineers and Cast Members are constantly looking for and innovating the latest technologies to ensure guests have the best experience they can. From brand new ride tech and the latest in culinary creations to simply painting a curb here and there, we’re always on the look for something new. And today, we spotted a ROBOT roaming around EPCOT!
Magical. Transportive. Immersive. Nostalgic. Disney World may be a LOT of things, but one thing it isn’t is predictable.
Crowds along Main Street, U.S.A.
Sheer originality and spectacle go into each and every Disney detail, from the rides to the merch, and increasingly so, this sentiment also applies to new restaurants.Â
Today is a BIG day in Disney World.
EPCOT
The highly anticipated attraction, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind has been in the works for quite some time, and we’ve been keeping you updated on all the progress. But, the wait is finally over because Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind officially opens TODAY in EPCOT and we’re bringing you with us to find out just exactly what that looks like!
🌟TODAY IS THE DAY!🌟 Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is officially OPEN in EPCOT.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
This highly-anticipated indoor rollercoaster debuted TODAY to EPCOT guests after weeks of media and Annual Passholder previews. Of course, we’re headed to EPCOT to take in the sights and sounds of the opening day — and you’re coming with us! Let’s check out the crowds, the merch, the Virtual Queue, and more!
Disney World and Disneyland have seen MANY attractions come and go throughout their histories.

Some rides became outdated, several were replaced by new IP (we’re looking at you, Frozen!), and others were just flat out not good rides. So, let’s look at some of these Disney rides that had to close, and dig into why they closed as well!
After months of waiting, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is finally open in Disney World!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
We’ve already ridden the ride and have seen the queue, heard the songs you could get while on board, learned about the villain, and seen ALL of the merchandise that will be available! We also shared that a standby line will not be available for this ride for the time being, and instead a virtual queue will be used. Guests will also have the option to purchase an Individual Lightning Lane reservation (or pay-per-ride) the morning they wish to ride, and now we have more details on how much that will cost!
Today is the day, people!!!
Cosmic Rewind
We’ve rewatched the movies, listened to the soundtrack, and mentally prepared ourselves because Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT is officially open! This non-stop entertainment-filled attraction has been in the works for years, and guests can now enjoy all that it has to offer — IF they can get a boarding group or a Lightning Lane. That might prove to be rather difficult, as boarding groups for Cosmic Rewind were gone FAST this morning!
Greetings from EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
It’s a great day to be at this park because Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is officially open! We’ve been waiting on the edge of our seats ever since Disney first announced the attraction. And it looks like we weren’t the only ones, either, as the Individual Lightning Lane passes for Cosmic Rewind sold out SUPER quickly this morning!
Looking for some incredible baked goods in Disney Springs? We’ve got just the spot!
Gideon’s Bakehouse
Gideon’s Bakehouse is famous for their incredible cookies and cakes, as well as the lines that people will wait in to get them! They recently brought back their peanut butter chocolate chip cookie (which had a short run due to the peanut butter recall), some Halloween flavors in the middle of spring, and some toffee flavored goodness! One of the most exclusive Gideon’s treats just got a little easier to get!
