food IS a theme park
Maybe you’ve eaten inside Cinderella Castle, went to EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival, and gone behind the scenes in Magic Kingdom.
Lines in Disney World
But you aren’t a REAL Disney World pro until you’ve done the things on this list.
Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea is celebrating AGAIN!
Joffrey’s in Disney Springs
Yesterday, guests were able to snag free Donald Duck latte art in honor of National Donald Duck Day. And today, Joffrey’s is back with another fun deal — this time on tea!
UPDATE: Disney has announced that the new attraction replacing Splash Mountain will be named Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and that it is expected to open in late 2024.

Disney has announced that they will be re-theming an attraction in both Disney World AND Disneyland — Splash Mountain.
Splash Mountain
So far, there has been NO official word on when the Splash Mountain refurbishment might begin. Instead, the ride has continued to operate as normal, with no changes to the scenes or signs of work being done just yet. So, we’re pulling together everything that we know for ya, to see just when the Splash Mountain retheming might begin!
UPDATE: All rides in Animal Kingdom reopened later in the day.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has been encountering some hiccups lately.
Animal Kingdom
And we don’t just mean bad weather or long lines. Recently, we reported that a power outage shut down about half the park, including popular rides like Expedition Everest and DINOSAUR! And now, it seems to have happened again.
While Walt Disney World has been reopened since July of 2020, some of our favorite restaurants sadly remain closed.
Ohana Appetizers featuring Honey-Coriander Chicken Wings
We still haven’t seen the return of our favorite hot dog spot, Casey’s Corner, and Columbia Harbour House continues to be used for the Peter Pan’s Flight queue (but you *can* get some menu items at Tomorrowland Terrace). ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is one of the places that hasn’t opened its doors again, even when the resort did. But now, we FINALLY have a reopening date for the iconic Polynesian staple and you can make your reservation TODAY!!
We’re seeing lots of things in Disney World slowly reopen!
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
Recently, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge fully reopened, and ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort will welcome guests again on July 9th. But over at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, we’ve got exciting news, too!
Walt Disney World has been celebrating Pride in style this month!
Pride flight!
From rainbow ears to Mickey plushes, there has been a TON of Pride merch in the stores all over property. We’ve also seen some special photo ops and tasty rainbow treats! And now there’s another Pride item for you to try, so let’s check out what we found in Disney Springs!
Ear collectors! We’ve got an exciting update.
Mint Minnie Ears!
Disney World is constantly comin’ out with new ears, but a fan-favorite seems to be that Tweed and Pearl pair from a while back. These were available online for a little bit, but now they’re sold out! That means they were prettyyy hard to find…until now.
It’s almost summer, y’all!
Barefoot Pool Bar at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
That means time to hit the water parks, eat ice cream, and indulge in frozen drinks all over Disney World. And we’re on it!
As the 2021 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival draws to a close, it’s time to get prepped for the Food and Wine Festival!
EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
It’s kicking off this year in July (just like last year!) and we can’t wait to get back in the groove of what is arguably the biggest EPCOT event of the year. There are going to be several activities, some amazing entertainment, and SO MUCH food. But, if you’re hoping to come back and eat some of the things you loved last year, you should know that there are 8 2020 booths that aren’t returning to this year’s festival!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
