food IS a theme park
Sweet offerings have popped up all over the parks in celebration of Mother’s Day!
Let’s celebrate Mother’s Day!
We’ve already found some gifts for pampering mom, and if you’re in the parks for the special occasion, there are some treats you can spoil her with too! One of those treats was not our favorite last year, but has it changed for the better?
We love trying all sorts of new snacks and treats in Disney World, even if they’ll only be available for a limited time. We recently tried the May Drink of the Month at the Coca-Cola Rooftop Bar and a special Mother’s Day dessert at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort that is ONLY available for a few days.
Disney Springs
Now, we’re heading over to Disney Springs to try a treat that has made its way to Vivoli il Gelato in celebration of Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
EPCOT’s massive transformation is moving forward, with the new Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind roller coaster opening on May 27th. We’ve also recently gotten a BIG update on the Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana attraction, and Connections Eatery is already open! So what’s still left?
EPCOT
If you’ve been to EPCOT recently, you know that the front section of this park is a maze of construction walls. Now, we’ve got another UPDATED look at some of the attractions and areas that will be located here in World Celebration when the construction finally wraps up. Here’s a hint — a beloved detail is finally going to return to this area! [Read more…]
It’s almost Mother’s Day and Disney World is celebrating!
Celebrate mom!
There are a bunch of special treats available, like cupcakes, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a special Dole Whip, along with some one-day-only brunches, like the one over at Steakhouse 71. We’ve already told you about a lot of the offerings, but there are some that aren’t as well known — like a SECRET MENU cocktail at a popular Disney hotel!
Listen, there are a LOT of delicious places to get some homestyle cuisine in Disney World.
The Polite Pig
You could fill yourself up on biscuits and fried chicken at Homecomin’ in Disney Springs or order your meal with a side of embarrassment (as the wait staff picks on you) at 50s Prime Time Cafe in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But if you’re looking for something a little bit faster and a little more casual, The Polite Pig in Disney Springs may be the way to go. And they just added a new item to the menu!
Have you ever seen a Disney World dark ride with the lights on?
Rise of the Resistance
If you have, it might have completely changed your perspective on the ride! There’s a lot hiding in dark rides that we can’t see, but sometimes when rides break down and/or get evacuated, the lights will be turned on and you’ll get to see a whole new world. One of the most coveted rides to see with its lights on is Space Mountain — and we have a look for you!
Picture this — it’s 12:30PM and you’re wandering around a Disney World park, trying to find something to eat that’s 1. nearby 2. actually tasty and 3. not ridiculously expensive or time consuming. We’ve totally been there before! Luckily, we can help you out.
Hollywood Studios
There are a bunch of places to eat in Disney World, but some are much better than others (and we’ve tried them ALL, so we would know!). We’ve got some tried and true dining spots that almost never let us down, so let’s talk about some restaurants that you should definitely check out for lunch while you’re in Disney World!
Even though it’s no longer May the 4th, you can still celebrate all things Star Wars!Â
Dok Ondar in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
We were at the Disney Parks recently trying tons of the exclusive May the 4th snacks and checking out all of the new merchandise for Star Wars Day! We tried a delicious dark side dessert, a funnel cake with enough goodies to fill the whole galaxy, and spotted some new Star Wars merch. But now it’s time to talk about even MORE Star Wars collectibles that are now available at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
EPCOT is getting a new out-of-this-world coaster!
Guardians of the Galaxy Ship
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is opening in EPCOT in just a few weeks, and we were able to ride it today! We’re bringing you all of the news on Disney World’s newest ride, from what the queue looks like to whether or not it will make you barf! But now we’ve got even more news. For some, one of the most important parts of going to Disney World is the pictures (pics or it didn’t happen, right?) and we’ve got the inside scoop on all of the photos you can get at EPCOT’s new Wonders of Xandar pavilion!
Greetings from EPCOT!
EPCOT
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is open and we’re giving you a first look at all the merchandise available in the Treasures of Xandar Gift Shop and Creations Shop in EPCOT!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
