food IS a theme park
If you think you’ve tried all the snacks that EPCOT has to offer — you might have to think again!
EPCOT
There are all kinds of hidden food around Disney World that you’ve probably walked past HUNDREDS of times and never even noticed! So when we came across a unique snack tucked away in EPCOT, we had to check it out!
Gideon’s Bakehouse is about to change your whole perspective on Valentine’s Day!
The Promised Land — Inside Gideon’s
When you think of the holiday, you think of sweets, right? Well, Gideon’s makes sweets over at Disney Springs, but they put a little twist on a lot of items. In the past, we’ve had chocolate chip key lime pie cookies, banana bread cold brew, and white chocolate coffee bean cookies. They have new items every single month, and for Valentine’s Day, they’re making some very interesting treats to spice things up!
Disney World has SO many snacks, it can be hard to know what to order! Sometimes, you might see something on the menu and think it looks delicious, only to be let down. Unfortunately, today was one of those days when we did not enjoy our meal today in the Magic Kingdom. What can we say…we were drawn in by the enticing menu photo and tricky 50th Anniversary branding! We’ve all been there.
Happy 50th Anniversary! (several months later)
Disney released a TON of new snacks and desserts for the 50th Anniversary. Some were adorable and delicious; others were not. We’re here to issue a warning to those of you looking for a quick lunch or mid-afternoon snack: don’t make the same mistake we did!Â
If you pay THOUSANDS for an exclusive Disney World experience, you’d probably want that to include some line skipping abilities, right? Well, if you pay for one very pricey and exclusive experience, you’ll get just that.

We’re just a month away from the grand opening of Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (a.k.a. the Star Wars hotel!) This hotel is less of a lodging situation, and more of an immersive cruise-type experience. Guests will stay for 2 nights in the Starcruiser, and we recently saw the itinerary of everything that you’ll get to do when you visit! One part of the adventure includes an excursion to Hollywood Studios, and while there the Star Wars hotel guests will get one special perk!
Disney Springs is home to so many incredible places to grab a bite to eat, and a cocktail if you’re so inclined.
Disney Springs
With places like Wine Bar George, Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, and Raglan Road Irish Pub, there’s certainly no shortage of great spots to get a drink. But, there’s one spot we think flies under the radar when it comes to sipping on some libations — and today we’re bringing you a drink review that’ll make you want to stop by on your next visit!
Disney World is constantly updating and changing attractions, hotels, and shops. If you’re visiting the parks soon, don’t be surprised if a few spots are closed for refurbishments.
Splash Mountain is closed right now
So that you’re prepared before your vacation, we found every hotel, ride, and attraction that’s scheduled to be closed in Disney World in February. Some Disney World offerings can close without notice if weather or technical issues become a problem, but the closures on this list are all of the ones you can plan on before you go. [Read more…]
Disney World has a tendency to be VERY unpredictable! Just when you get used to a certain way of doing things, Disney will completely change the system and flip everything on its head. (*cough MAGICAL EXPRESS* *cough FASTPASS*) Despite the rollercoaster of emotions Disney manages to take us on, we keep coming back for more; Disney may be unpredictable, but it’s still FUN!
Helllllooo Hollywood!
Speaking of random changes, we noticed a certain day in April might look a little different in Disney World. Let’s investigate!
GET READY DISNEY FANS, IT HAS FINALLY HAPPENED. What has happened? What is “it”? Well, let us explain!
Main Street Railroad Station
Fans of the Walt Disney World Railroad have been deprived of their scenic and relaxing rides around the Most Magical Place on Earth for quite some time as construction on the TRON attraction continues. Late last year, Disney announced that the Walt Disney World Railroad had been undergoing some refurbishment, and shared that it would even start testing soon in Magic Kingdom. And recently one Disney fan witnessed something that’ll make every Disney World Railroad fan incredibly jealous!
Valentine’s Day will be here in TWO WEEKS — do you have your special someone yet?! Even if you don’t, that’s totally okay! You can be your 💖own valentine💖 and treat yourself to some delicious sweets.
OMG yum?!
And, where can you get those sweets, might you ask? At Disney World, duh! Of course Disney is doing the most for Valentine’s Day, and that includes bringing us some decadent treats. So, let’s take a look at ALL of the food coming to Disney World for Valentine’s Day!
Before you head to Disney World, there’s one big thing you should do that a lot of people forget about — checking the list of refurbishments!
It’s very quiet over here right now!
Throughout the year, various Disney attractions will close briefly to get routine maintenance. Sometimes those refurbishments are short, only lasting a week or so, while other times they may stretch on for months or even years (we’re looking at you, Walt Disney World Railroad!). Right now, Expedition Everest is in the middle of a three-month refurb, and we noticed some changes at the ride today!
