food IS a theme park
EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is in full swing. Incidentally, so is the love for Disney’s Encanto.
Flower & Garden Festival
We were delighted to find new breakfast Arepas at the La Isla Fresca booth just a few days ago. Though they might not be explicitly Encanto related, they certainly help us feel like we’re trying out Julieta’s cooking! Now, though, you can take a pic with a favorite Encanto character at this fest!Â
What’s this? What’s this? No, it’s not Jack Skellington — it’s ANOTHER look inside of the newest ride coming soon to Disney World.
We can’t WAIT to ride this!!
Seriously, Disney has shown us so much of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, from the queue, to the loading area, to the ride vehicles, but we are NOT complaining! We love seeing more and more about this new ride because honestly, it looks REALLY cool. And now, we have an even closer look at what it will be like to experience this attraction.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is definitely the epicenter of Earth Day festivities at Walt Disney World!
Tree of Life at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
The park famously opened on Earth Day in 1998 and continues to promote conservation and animal welfare to this day. As the month of April kicks off and Earth Day approaches, guests at the park can find a special feature at one of the park’s sometimes overlooked experiences!
If you’re heading to Disney World this weekend, you might want to pack a pocho…and an umbrella…and maybe a canoe.
Rainy day in EPCOT
We’ve already seen hints of some incoming bad weather in Disney World over the last couple of days with more cloud cover and darker skies. It looks like the storms could get pretty bad this weekend, so check out the details here and be sure to plan ahead!
Exactly one year ago today, we drank cotton candy. Let us explain.
The Cotton Top Lagoon
The Cotton Top Lagoon was one of two cotton candy topped drinks we found in Animal Kingdom in 2021, and it was made with a frozen blend of blue raspberry and lemonade and topped with cotton candy. Today we found a NEW version of this drink in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but does it live up to 2021’s version?
Despite every effort you’ve put into planning your Disney World vacation, sometimes, things can inevitably go wrong.
Magic Kingdom
We always HOPE this doesn’t happen, but technology can be a bit… finicky, and attractions can break down or stop from time to time. We were taking a leisurely ride on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover this morning to get a good look at the construction progress on TRON: Lightcycle Run, when the ride got stuck!
We just found a couple of NEW snacks in Disney World, and they’re both at a location that doesn’t get a whole lot of time in the spotlight. But could these tasty eats change that?
Walt Disney World
Magic Kingdom is not exactly known for its dining scene, although you can find some classic treats (like DOLE Whips) and delicious snacks (like Casey’s Corner corn dog nuggets with plastic cheese) inside this park. But when we’re looking for a mind-blowing meal, we usually head over to a nearby resort restaurant, like Steakhouse 71 at Disney’s Contemporary Resort or ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Could the new eats we found inside Magic Kingdom convince us to stay in the park instead? Let’s find out! [Read more…]
When most people think about Disney World, they probably think of happy little kids meeting Mickey for the first time, all the nostalgic memories from the days of yesteryear, and of course — FOOD.
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Resort
But, what most people DON’T think of is a super hoppin’ and lively piano bar situated just steps away from EPCOT (literally). Disney’s Jellyrolls exists, and boy do people love it! This popular nighttime spot is just for adults 21 and up, and they do charge admission to get in — and it looks like that admission price has just gone up!
Disney has been releasing SO much info lately about the new Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind coming to EPCOT!

We’ve gotten a look at the queue, the loading area, the entrance, and more. And, Disney World just released a video teasing a potential opening date announcement coming soon. We are so eager for this ride to open, so let’s take a look at the construction progress outside of the ride right now!
UPDATED July 24, 2024
The Genie+ section on the Disney World website currently states that guests can expect to reserve 2-3 Lightning Lanes per day if they buy Genie+. But is that actually true?
Lightning Lane
We’re in Disney World all the time, and we’ve done a lot of research by using Genie+ and testing out different strategies. So based on our own experiences, how accurate is that claim that guests will only get on 2-3 rides per day with Genie+? Let’s find out. [Read more…]
