food IS a theme park
It’s a BIG day for Disney hotels!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge has officially reopened! The Disney Vacation Club villas reopened here wayyy back in 2020, along with some shopping and dining options, but the resort as a whole has remained shuttered. Now, non-DVC rooms are OPEN and available for booking! So of course, we had to bring ya along to take a peek inside.
We spotted a fun souvenir this morning at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
We can’t resist a cute piece of Disney merch. From coffee mugs to Minnie Ears, we’re constantly on the lookout for new items to add to our wishlist!
Another month down in Disney World and we’re headed into the summer!
Magic Kingdom
We had a pretty busy month FULL of Disney news (which seems to be the norm these days). Sure, we saw some things coming like preparations for Pride Month and even the 4th of July, but some news was downright SHOCKING. Here are the three most unexpected things that happened in Disney World last month!Â
Disney World restaurants are some of the MOST magical places at the Most Magical Place on Earth. From Cheshire Cat Tails and Ronto Wraps to School Bread and Cookie Dough Cupcakes, these are places where foodie dreams come true!Â
Cheshire Cat Tail at The Lunching Pad
And now you can be even more apart of the action, because Disney World is hiring food and beverage Cast Members!Â
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is a little short on dining options right now. Sure, you can get your Pulled Pork Nachos at Capt. Cook’s, but some of our FAVORITE spots here like ‘Ohana, Trader Sam’s, and Spirit of Aloha are closed still.

But there’s one reliable restaurant that is here to fill the void: Kona Cafe!
Who’s ready for more Chicken Guy!?
Chicken Guy!
One of our go-to choices for an affordable and delicious meal in Disney Springs is Chicken Guy!, the quick service restaurant headed by celebrity chef Guy Fieri. And for all you other Chicken Guy! fans out there, we have some good news.
We know there is a LOT involved when it comes to planning for a Disney World trip. You’ll need to book the trip, make your park pass reservations, make your advance dining reservations, and figure out what to pack!
Pack your bags — we’re going to Disney World!
But there are some items that will make your life a lot easier and your trip that much more magical. And we scoured Amazon reviews to find the best of the best travel gear that’s available!
You’ve spent all day in the parks, and they’re closing after some long hours of fun! But, if you’re looking for a late night meal or snack, Disney World’s not the greatest place for after-hours eats at the moment.
EPCOT
Many of the places around the parks currently close early in the night, so it becomes a bit difficult to find a restaurant or quick-service spot open after you leave the parks. Although some of your favorite dining locations may not be open all night, we’re giving you a full list of all the places where you can find late-night meals in Disney World after 10 PM! And don’t forget, Uber Eats and other delivery services are available as well.
Wow — is it just us or did May just fly by? And it’s officially summer at Disney World — how did that even happen?
Watermelon Dole Whip IN a Watermelon
Of course, we’re ready for it (save for maybe the Florida heat and humidity), and we’re looking forward to all the great summer foods we’ll be eating over the next few months. May saw some pretty interesting snacks, though, including a secret menu Watermelon Dole Whipception snack, A Donut Burger, and Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls! And we also saw some menu updates at Disney World restaurants, so we’re going to get to those right now!
When the cupcake cravings hit (which, frankly, is a near-daily occurrence for us), we’ve got no shortage of options in the Disney Parks! And when we’re wanting something particularly decadent, we can count on Sprinkles!
Sprinkles Cupcakes
The cupcake shop in both Disney Springs and Downtown Disney is constantly coming up with next-level treats, and their latest limited-time flavor is like a dessert double whammy!Â
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
