food IS a theme park
Sometimes it really pays off to stop and notice the smaller details in Disney World — and we literally mean SMALL details!
Tree of Life
We always have our eyes peeled for new tidbits of information and details to share with you. We came across a really fun corner of the parks today that we thought we would turn into a little “I Spy” activity to see if you can guess today’s hidden Disney World spot!
By now you probably know that one of our favorite Disney World attractions isn’t a ride or store — it’s food!
Our next treat is at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Disney World went from 0 to 100 on green snacks for St. Patrick’s Day and they’re doing the same for Easter so we’ve been pretty busy (and full). But, today we decided to take a break from all the bunny and egg-covered snacks to try something new at one of our favorite coffee stops!
You know how we love those HUGE Donuts at Joffrey’s Coffee kiosks around Disney World, right?

Seriously, they are always fresh, fluffy, and flavorful, whether they’re covered in coconut or sprinkles or if they are sporting antlers and a red nose like a certain reindeer. We never need an excuse to grab one! The thing is… we may have just found an excuse to pass on a Joffrey’s Donut (for a day or two, anyway). Because we were tempted by another new treat at a Joffrey’s kiosk today! [Read more…]
Going to Disney World can be QUITE the adventure.
What a Beautiful View!
You’ve got to think about Park Passes, advance dining reservations, and so many other things. There are a lot of things that people do “right” like strategically planning their Park Hopping or using awesome features on the My Disney Experience app to make their whole trip SO much easier, like Mobile Merchandise Checkout. But, there are some things that people do in Disney World that make ZERO sense. Today, we’re breaking those all down for you so you can make sure you don’t do these things in Disney World the next time you visit!
There are lots of changes coming to the Disney parks in 2021!
Jungle Cruise
It’s Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary, so we’ll get mini-transformations at each of the 4 parks to mark the occasion. Plus, on the big birthday, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will open in EPCOT! But that’s not all: sometime in 2021, the iconic Jungle Cruise ride is due for a reimagining.
Is there anything better than seeing THIS FELLA?
Mickey Mouse
Honestly? Nope. But there’s a CLOSE second, and that’s spotting a HIDDEN Mickey! Disney fans love spotting these subtle tributes to Mickey Mouse tucked into everything from park attractions to Character Cavalcade vehicles and more…. like food, for instance. (You can bet we’ve found some not-so-subtle ones, too.) We hope you’ll join us on another hunt for Hidden Mickeys today! [Read more…]
Vaccine rollout is ongoing in response to the global health crisis.

Earlier this month, President Joe Biden announced that all U.S. states will need to make the vaccine available to ALL ADULTS by May 1st. Now, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is commenting on when that might happen for the state.
Since we visit Disney World every day, we see some pretty interesting things.
Cinderella Castle
We see malfunctioning animatronics, ride parts getting replaced with plants, wild animals doing strange things, and so many other things that are definitely out of place in the parks. Today, we spotted something new to add to that list!
It looks like people are already in vacation planning mode for their summer trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth — Walt Disney World! How do we know this?
Disney World Main Entrance
Well, we’re often checking on the current (and future) availability of Disney World Park Passes so we can give you up-to-date information as you’re planning your trip. (As a reminder, guests are currently required to make a Park Pass reservation in advance to any of the four parks in order to gain entry.) And even though we’re in the thick of spring break around here, we’re already noticing that folks are starting to make their Park Passes into this summer! Let’s take a look… [Read more…]
