food IS a theme park
We have to admit that one of our favorite characters in Moana is Hei Hei (sorry, Maui!).
Hei Hei Cone
There’s just something lovable about this super unintelligent chicken that makes us smile. And we’ve loved seeing Hei Hei represented at Disney World — in a Dole Whip cone (yes, that is a thing that happened!), on a MagicBand, on shirts, and more!
Can you believe it’s almost time for the 2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival? We are so ready to visit all the food booths, participate in some fun activities, and see some great entertainment this year!
The Food & Wine Festival Will be Starting Soon!
Last year’s event was modified due to health and safety measures, but as we’ve seen recently at Disney World, many of the health and safety guidelines at the parks have changed and things are starting to get back to pre-closure “normal”.
Hello from Walt Disney World!
The Tree of Life is gorgeous in the sunshine!
We take a look at the average wait times for each attraction everrrry single week to see which ride lines are getting longer, shorter, or staying the same! Summer is in full swing and this past Sunday was 4th of July, so let’s see if people here for the holiday affected the crowd levels. Here’s a look at all the average wait times in Disney World from this week.
Disney World is constantly coming out with new merchandise all over the parks. Most of the time you will find long lines and empty shelves because of how many people want these new items.
Mickey Shaped Foam Soap Dispenser
We do occasionally come across some items that leave us wondering if someone had one too many drinks from Nomad Lounge before giving the green light. While walking around Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we came across something that will legitimately keep you up at night!
More than a year has gone by since Disney World’s theme parks closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It’s Been Quite the Year
A whole bunch of things have changed since then. Restaurants have reopened, hotels have become available for guests to enjoy again, and fan-favorite shows and experiences have returned. So, today we’re taking a trip in our virtual time machine and taking a look at some of the very BEST moments from the last year in Disney World. Ready to come on this happy journey with us?
One of Disney’s Animal Kingdom seasonal snack Kiosks, The Smiling Crocodile, is back! This spot is known for wacky treats like the delicious Pulled Pork Jelly Doughnuts and the surface-of-the-sun hot Pulled Pork Tamales, and serves up Mexican-inspired cuisine!
The Smiling Crocodile
For the past year, this snack spot has been closed, but on July 11th it reopened with an updated menu! So, we stopped by to check it out!
There are SO many new things coming to Disney World this year for its big 50th anniversary!

We’re getting a new fireworks show and character cavalcade in Magic Kingdom, a new daytime show in Animal Kingdom, and golden character statues throughout the parks! We also will FINALLY see the opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and the expansion of the France Pavilion in EPCOT! With the expansion comes a brand new restaurant featuring some famous French food, and we’re here to tell you why you should be excited about the opening! [Read more…]
It’s officially been one year since Disney World reopened!
A LOT has changed at Disney World over the past year!
Over the past year, things have changed drastically at Disney World! We’ve seen the end of temperature checks, the end of mask requirements in most situations, and the end of social distancing. We’re also seeing more people in the parks as both entertainment and fireworks begin to resume.
Have you been to Disney World at Christmas time??
Animal Kingdom Christmas Tree
The gorgeous decorations, characters in their Christmas outfits, and the Christmas food — oh, that Christmas food!! If you’re planning to visit Disney World this Christmas, October 26th is a very important date for you so that you can get the best Disney Christmas food! [Read more…]
The Smiling Crocodile is a seasonal kiosk at Disney’s Animal Kingdom that served up crazy treats like the Pulled Pork Jelly Doughnut in the past! This is a good spot to get something a little different than the usual Animal Kingdom eats, but we’ve had some mixed feelings about some of their dishes (like those tamales that lit our mouths on fire!).
Smiling Crocodile
However, we’re excited to see that the Smiling Crocodile is back with a new menu! The restaurant reopened on July 11th, so of course, we had to go check it out!
