food IS a theme park
Pirates of the Caribbean is a classic Disney attraction that we all know and love!
Pirates of the Caribbean in Magic Kingdom!
There are several Easter eggs and ride secrets in Disney World that only the pros know, and you can even spot some fun details outside of the attraction! And today, we’re showing you another detail that you have probably walked by each time you’ve visited the Magic Kingdom!
It’s time to go over all the surprising and unexpected news from Disney World this week!
Magic Kingdom
From the shocking price of this Disney World hotel to the return of fan-favorite shows, there have been some surprising announcements this week!
We’ve been pretty busy running around Disney World trying out all the 50th anniversary celebration snacks.
Halloween at Magic Kingdom Halloween decor
But just in case you forgot, it’s still Halloween, too, meaning that there are still TONS of Halloween treats to try. So far, we’ve had an amazing Halloween margarita flight, Halloween donuts, and a Halloween cupcake or two (or three…)! But today we’re singing the praises of two of our favorite returning spooky snacks!
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary has brought a lot of new offerings.
Harmonious
Perhaps the most exciting of these offerings are the new firework shows. We’ve already seen Disney Enchantment in Magic Kingdom and Harmonious in EPCOT. Disney fans certainly have big feelings about these new shows, but we noticed something particularly interesting about Harmonious. It’s not really a firework show, is it?
Sure, it’s still technically Halloween season at Disney World, and we’re still enjoying all the Halloween decor, merchandise, snacks, and more at the parks.
Disney’s Riviera Resort
But…we’re also looking forward to the holidays at Disney World, and thanks to a new souvenir we just found, we’re ready to start decorating our Christmas tree!
One of the best things about Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration is all the new merchandise and NEW shops.
EPCOT’s Port of Entry
And one of the collections we’ve been the most excited about is the Vault Collection, which throws it way back to 1971 with retro-themed Disney World souvenirs. We are here for it!
Disney World’s 50th anniversary kicked off on Friday, October 1st, and we were in the parks to take in all of the celebrations.

We tried a ton of new food items, saw new entertainment, checked out a new ride, and more! The day was exciting and historic, marking a huge milestone for Disney World — but that doesn’t mean it didn’t have its issues. We noticed some not-so-magical things happening on the 50th anniversary, and we’re here to share our experience and what could be done to fix or avoid these issues in the future.
The Main Street Confectionery is back after a HUGE refurb in Magic Kingdom!
Main Street Confectionery
We first got a sneak peek at the new interactive candy wall and some of the new treats — then the fan-favorite spot officially opened right before Disney World’s 50th anniversary. Since then, we’ve tried some of the new treats (including the controversial Skittles fudge), but today we spotted a new treat!
Well, it’s been a busy week at Disney World, hasn’t it? The 50th Anniversary Celebration has officially kicked off!

And we’ve been busy running around trying every new snack we can find, WHILE also checking out some new restaurants and dining experiences. But we’re still tracking every menu update we can find, so let’s get on with what’s been going on this week!
You don’t need us to tell ya that Disney World has some hardcore fans.
Cinderella Castle
And those fans tend to have an unspoken list of classic rides, top eats, and popular opinions that are generally undisputed. That’s just how it goes! But what if you DON’T agree? Well, we may be right there with you! Here are 10 things Disney fans are too afraid to say…but a lot of ‘em may be thinking it. 😉
