food IS a theme park
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! We’ve been celebrating in Disney World by eating food, of course.
St. Patrick’s Day in Disney World
We’ve tried special treats from Gideon’s Bakehouse, fun cupcakes, green cocktails, and more — and we’re not slowing down any time soon! So, come along with us to try out another brand new green treat!
With the 2022 Flower and Garden Festival in full swing, it’s been a busy few weeks in EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
A popular attraction closed in EPCOT last week, and we also noticed the arrival of Spring Break crowds. This week we tried some plant-based dishes and did some shopping too — where we found a (GASP!) $2,700 mask! Come along with us.
You may not be able to follow a rainbow to a pot of gold on St. Patrick’s Day in Disney World, but you CAN eat plenty of festive holiday treats to celebrate the occasion! Just when we FINALLY started to recover from the wave of blue-dyed treats for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, Disney decided to switch it up and go green for St. Patrick’s Day.
We’ve been trying a LOT of green treats lately!
And, today we’re back at Disney’s Contemporary Resort to try a St. Patrick’s Day cupcake (or should we say ANOTHER St. Patrick’s Day cupcake)!
Magic Kingdom is almost always pretty crowded, but recently it has been NEXT. LEVEL.
Welcome to Magic Kingdom!
The Spring Break crowds have descended upon Disney World, many of them headed to Magic Kingdom — and can you blame them? That view of Cinderella Castle can’t be beat! We’ve been eating our share of St. Patrick’s Day treats, checking out the new Easter balloon, and visiting all the shops to see what’s new and we’re compiling it below so that you know all the NEW things to looks for! So, let’s get on with it!
Everybody likes to talk about the snacks that you can get in EPCOT and Magic Kingdom, but there’s one Disney World park whose food game is going under the radar…Animal Kingdom!
Animal Kingdom
Seriously, this park has some pretty amazing snacks that you’re probably walking right past. And recently, we stopped by to try out one of our old favorites and see if it’s still as good as we remembered!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, friends!
St. Patrick’s Day in Disney World
There are a lot of ways to celebrate this Irish holiday in Disney World, like with special holiday treats and even a whole St. Patrick’s Day festival in Disney Springs! But, there’s another fan-favorite Disney Springs spot celebrating today, and they’ve got specially-themed holiday drinks to boot!
Disney World has some AMAZING rides and some that are…tolerable.
That’s the Tower of Terror!
To our Facebook followers, we posed the question, “Which Disney World ride do your kids love but you *tolerate*?” We got around 300 responses and, listen, we feel you. Here are 12 of the most popular answers (in no particular order)!
There are some flavor combinations that seem to be VERY controversial. Are you team pineapple on pizza? Do you mind a little chocolate-covered bacon? What about mint chocolate chip ice cream? No matter where you stand on those great food debates, it’s always fun to see what kind of new treats Disney thinks up! We’ve tasted some WEIRD flavors in our time, but it’s always an adventure!
Caribbean Beach Resort
Over at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, we found a minty new treat that sounds VERY familiar to another dessert we JUST tried in Disney World! Is it worth a visit to the Caribbean Beach? Let’s find out!
Don’t ya just hate when things in Disney World are CLOSED?
BOOOOO
We do, too! Especially when there are super long closures in the parks. We miss climbing Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom, as it’s been closed since early January. We also miss the Walt Disney World Railroad, which has been closed in Magic Kingdom for over 3 YEARS. But, today, we saw something that might mean the train will return soon!
Disney Springs is home to many popular shops and eateries.
Disney Springs
One of those spots is so popular, there’s pretty much ALWAYS a line out the door AND they sometimes even utilize a virtual queue system to try and keep guest waits to a minimum. Yep, we’re talking about Gideon’s Bakehouse! Today, we tried a NEW item at the gothic-cartoon-themed bakery that you WON’T find on the normal menu — let’s check it out!
