food IS a theme park
It’s been quite a rainy day in Disney World today.
Time to leave?
The scene today in Magic Kingdom, under a “Severe Weather Warning,” was definitely ominous (and wet), but still, that wasn’t the most disappointing part of our day. We’ve seen things been abandoned in Disney World before, like Dole Whip and Mickey balloons. But today, we saw something that shook us to our core.
Considering Florida’s nickname is the “Sunshine State,” you might assume that the weather at Disney World is constantly sunny, perfect, and warm…but you’d be mistaken!
A rainy day at Magic Kingdom!
Even outside of hurricane season, the weather at Disney World is notoriously unpredictable, and at times SEVERE. We have the videos and photos from Magic Kingdom when an actual “Severe Weather Warning” was issued for the area.
Where has the year gone? It’s speeding by so quickly. Spring Break is pretty much over, and now Disney World is gearing up for the summer! Just wow!
Beaches & Cream
And while we’re busy reviewing all the new snacks popping up at Disney World, including Cake Dips, a Wildberry Shake with cake pops on top of it (!!!), and a cupcake covered in bees, we’re also keeping an eye on restaurant menus to see what changes are being made. This week brings a few new items AND returning items — so let’s get started!
Goofy may be a lot of things, but fashion icon isn’t really the first thing that comes to mind. No offense, but floppy shoes and vests don’t exactly scream “style!”
Goofy
Well, thanks to a merchandise collection we spotted in Disney World, Goofy might just be the newest fashion icon. Coach has created some Disney-inspired collections in the past, and we stopped by the store in Disney Springs to look at the most recent addition!
Orange is having a MOMENT in Disney World!
Orange Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookie
Specifically, Disney Springs has suddenly blossomed into a veritable grove of orange-flavored snacks! After recently spotting orange cookies and orange cakes, now we’re slurping orange slushies, and they taste JUST like an iconic dessert!
It’s springtime in Disney World, which means a lot of things, but mostly you can bet that the parks look beautiful right now.
Springtime at EPCOT!
This is especially true at EPCOT, which is currently hosting the International Flower and Garden Festival!
UPDATE: Severe weather could impact Disney World today, April 7th, 2022. Click here for more information.

Storm Clouds Over Disney’s Hollywood Studios
It’s not uncommon for guests to find themselves in the middle of a rainy day at Disney World. And while you might be willing to push through the rain, it’s important to be aware of the weather, as sometimes the thunderstorms can get severe. Here’s what you need to know if severe weather is headed your way in Disney World.
We’ve been following the progress of the EPCOT transformation for a while now! That includes the new lighting being attached to Spaceship Earth, the front entrance’s DRAMATIC makeover, and the new fountain that still makes us “ooh” and “ahh.”
Harmonious Center Barge Testing
We’ve also been following the construction progress of EPCOT’s upcoming nighttime show, Harmonious. All the barges and the giant ring are in place, but when exactly will the show debut?
It seems like spring is rushing by us and we’re already getting ready for summer, and that’s certainly the case at Disney World!
Marketplace Snacks
We’re already seeing summer flavors turning up including Dole Whip Margaritas (YES, we’re serious!) Bee Covered Cupcakes, and Key Lime Pie Cake! Bring on those vacation vibes!!!
Over the years (especially over the last several months since the parks have reopened), Disney World has introduced a number of ways technology can be used to offer a more frictionless experience for its guests. Heads up — they all love the world “mobile!”
Harambe Market Mobile Ordering
Many of us are well acquainted with Mobile Order, a contactless way to order food at various Counter Service locations. There’s also Mobile Dine Check-In, Mobile Check-Out at certain gift shops, and even MagicMobile just debuted, offering guests an alternative to MagicBands. But one of the biggest game-changers when it comes to planning your Disney vacation is hiding in plain sight all around Disney World (and on My Disney Experience): Mobile Dine Walk-Up Waitlist.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
