food IS a theme park

We’ve been keeping a close eye on the availability of Disney Park Passes for the coming months and we expected Magic Kingdom and EPCOT to book up FAST on the 4th of July. With fireworks returning and holidays being a draw on their own, Independence Day is in high demand. Now, it seems availability is GONE for two Disney World parks on the 4th.
Disney World’s 50th anniversary is coming up SOON!

And there is LOTS of look forward to on the special day. October 1st marks the debut of an 18-month celebration, the grand opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Crêperie de Paris in EPCOT (as well as some new Food and Wine Festival booths!), and new costumes for Mickey and Minnie. As you can imagine, it’s going to be a popular time to visit the parks! And if you’re hoping to join the fun, we’ve got an update you should know about.
When it comes to spicy food, most of us understand that there’s REAL spicy and…then there’s Disney spicy.
HOT!
And of course, Disney’s version of spicy food is usually tamed down to appeal more to the masses. But there are still some places at Disney World where you can get the real deal — the kind of food that will have steam coming out of your ears and make you break out into a sweat.
It’s no secret that Disney World has a LOT of merch up for grabs.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
Some of it may not be worth it, while others certainly are (at least to us, anyway). But today, we’re traveling to a galaxy far, far away (aka Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge) to check out a particularly debated souvenir.
We’re getting excited for Disney World’s 50th anniversary!

As part of the 18-month long celebration, we’re seeing transformations to the parks’ icons, new costumes for Mickey and Minnie, and sparkly Cast Member name tags. And now, we’ve got a peek at some new EXTRA-special name tags!
Winnie the Pooh is celebrating a BIG anniversary this year!
That’s a silly, willy, nilly, ol’ bear.
It’s this silly ol’ bear’s 55th birthday, and we’ve seen collectible keys, backpacks, and even HUGE news about a stage adaptation to mark the occasion! Recently, we also showed ya some Pooh ears that had debuted online…and now, we’ve spotted them in the parks.
You’ve got a LOT of options for breakfast in Disney World.
Contempo Cafe
And if you decide on some easy eats, you may find yourself at Contempo Cafe! This Quick Service spot at Disney’s Contemporary Resort serves up classic American foods like waffles, potatoes, and breakfast sandwiches…and now, there’s a new addition.
If you’re staying off-property on your next Disney World vacation or you have the flexibility to venture beyond the resort’s perimeter, there’s an entire world of dining options at your fingertips! We’ve been checking out some of the newer dining options to open off-property, including the brand-new White Castle!
Let’s Go!
Today, we stopped by Portillo’s, the Chicago-style, rock ‘n’ roll-themed diner at the intersection of Palm Parkway and Daryl Carter Blvd. The restaurant is celebrating its grand opening, so we thought we would take part in the celebration and share our thoughts!
