food IS a theme park
With several new attractions in the works, crews throughout Disney World are working around the clock so that guests will soon be able to enjoy the new rides.
EPCOT
One attraction that we have patiently (okay, maybe not that patiently) been waiting for is Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind! This indoor coaster will take guests into space and is set to open in summer 2022 — and today, we’re bringing you an update on the ride’s construction progress. Let’s check it out!
Sometimes, you gotta spice some things up to keep the romance alive…with your Disney snacks, of course!
Waffles with a view
Let’s face it, some of the snacks that you can find in Disney World are just plain out BORING. And, you didn’t shell out thousands of dollars to chow down on popcorn, pretzels, and other eats that you could pick up from your local grocery store and have on your couch! But, we’re not saying that you need to ditch the Mickey-shaped Pretzel (after all, everything DOES taste better Mickey-shaped), we’re just saying that there’s a way to make it BETTER. So, as people who make a living off of snacking, we’re bringing you ALL the ways that you can take your dining game to the NEXT. LEVEL. in Disney!
If you’ve been to EPCOT in the past few years, or even just seen pictures, you know that it’s currently undergoing a BIG transformation (which is why there’s construction ALL over former Future World!).
SO much construction!
The transformation includes things that have already been completed, like the new fountain, the France pavilion expansion, and the Creations shop. But, there are still a bunch of things in progress, like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. We recently learned that the Mary Poppins attraction is on hold, and now, the attraction showing you everything coming to EPCOT for the transformation is shutting down.
Yeah, we’re biased, but we would argue that Disney World has some of the best snacks in the world!
Let’s visit the Friar’s Nook!
Not a day goes by that we’re not smacking our lips when we think about the Carrot Cake Cookie, the Dole Whip, cookies from Gideon’s cookies, and more. But sometimes, Disney World snacks aren’t so great. Sometimes, folks, they’re just leave us disappointed… .
TRON Lightcycle / Run has been under construction for years at Magic Kingdom in Disney World.
Still a work in progress
We’ve been tracking its steady progress, and recently saw parts of the canopy go up, but we still don’t know when the ride will open. We recently got a closer look at the progress taking place on the ride, and now Disney has released another new video showing the next phase of ride testing!
Spirit Jerseys have really taken Disney World by storm over the past several years, and they keep getting more and more creative!
Orange Bird Spirit Jersey
We’ve seen glitter, tie-dye, and vintage-inspired jerseys, as well as those themed to some fan favorite characters, like Figment, Grogu (baby Yoda), and Orange Bird. And now, we’ve found a new Spirit Jersey that’s paying tribute to one of the most popular Disney snacks!
Disney World is slowly but surely returning to pre-pandemic operations, with updates such as additional restaurants reopening and more character meet-and-greets being offered throughout the parks.
Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade
And, just recently we saw the return of the Festival of Fantasy Parade! This marks the first regular daytime parade to return to Disney World since the 2020 closure of the parks (minus the Christmas parade that we saw during the After Hours Event). But, what does the return of parades mean for Disney’s Cavalcades we’ve come to expect? Well, it looks like we’re starting to find out!
With FastPass gone, do you invest in the *magical* Disney Genie+?

Or do you wait it out in line the old-fashioned way with the rest of the crowds?
We certainly hope you’re hungry, because we’re headed to an eye-catching Disney World restaurant for a review.
Secret Menu Burger
Odds are you’ve seen this spot before if you’ve been to Disney Springs; maybe you went in for a bite or maybe you just strolled by, casually remarking at the idea of a restaurant IN A STEAMBOAT. Yep, we’re talking about Paddlefish today. This spot has garnered mixed reviews from us in the past, so let’s find out if YOU should visit!
When planning your next Disney World vacation, one of the first decisions you’ll likely make is where your family will spend each night! Picking the right hotel can be a daunting task since there are so many options, so the first factor you’ll probably consider is what you can afford when choosing to stay on Disney World property. Disney breaks its hotels up into three major categories based on price: Value, Moderate, and Deluxe.
Grand Floridian Lobby
Today, we’re going to weigh the pros and cons for staying at Disney World’s Deluxe Resort hotels. You can see our pros and cons for Value resorts here and for Moderate resorts here! Deluxe hotels offer top-tier amenities for top-tier prices. They also offer perks such as awesome pools, top-rated dining, and easy access to the parks. But is it worth the cost?
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
