food IS a theme park
Disney is an innovator when it comes to technology, particularly technology used at its theme parks.
Let’s Get Scanning!
Most recently, the company began rolling out its new MagicMobile service on smart devices that allows guests to use their phones just like they do their MagicBands. And Disney World also began a testing phase of a new facial recognition program that allows guests to use their faces as a contactless way to get scanned into the parks.
Disney World has some very cool gift shops, especially in EPCOT’s World Showcase!
House of Good Fortune in China
We love strolling through spots like the Christmas shop in Germany or the Mitsukoshi Department Store in Japan to see what strange and unexpected souvenirs we can find. Today, we were doing just that in the China Pavilion when we spotted a rare accessory!
Sprinkles Cupcakes always comes up with some really fun flavors and we love trying them all!
Sprinkles Cupcakes
From Lemon Meringue to Banana Split to Toasted Coconut, and Caramel & Chocolate cupcake flavors, there’s lots to choose from. But we ESPECIALLY love it when Sprinkles adds a little something extra to its flavors. And by extra, we mean BOOZE.
When you’re visiting Disney World, it’s easy to reach for the Minnie Ears, the balloons, or other classic souvenirs. But, what if you’re looking for something more unique to remember your vacation?
Did you know you can buy THIS at Disney World?
Well, over in EPCOT, we’ve found some of the coolest (and weirdest) souvenirs that you can get in Disney World! We have seen a literal unicorn MERMAID at House of Good Fortune, and the Mitsukoshi Department Store is where you can find non-Disney items like Animal Crossing backpacks and plushes and color-changing shirts. But, if you thought that was as unique as merchandise gets in Disney, you’re wrong. Disney has OUTDONE themselves with the latest collection we found in the parks!
We don’t know about you, but we’re in the mood to chow down on a cupcake.
Black Forest Cupcake
Luckily, we’ve found ourselves and P & J’s Southern Takeout at The Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort, and there’s a rotating selection of tasty treats here. We’ve already tried a pineapple push pop and a hazelnut coffee today…so what could be next?
Star Wars is everywhere these days at Disney World, particularly at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, where fans of the film franchise flock EVERY DAY to visit the ultimate Star Wars fan dream that is Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
It really is like being on another planet!
Where else can Star Wars fans go to step onto another planet, pilot the Millennium Falcon, face the Resistance, and nom on some alien food and drinks? So maybe it shouldn’t be a surprise when we see vehicles in the Hollywood Studios parking lot that SCREAM they’re driven by Star Wars fans. But we think we saw the MOST EPIC Star Wars truck today!
Hey everyone! How’s it going? We’ve been to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, which is celebrating its 23rd birthday today!
Welcome to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
So Happy Birthday, Animal Kingdom! We wandered all over the park to check up on all the latest updates, so we could share what’s new. So let’s get started!
We’re heading into the wilderness… Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, that is!
Welcome to Fort Wilderness!
We’re used to popping by P&J’s Southern Takeout — the counter service location tucked right by Trail’s End Restaurant and Crockett’s Tavern — where we’re typically snacking on one of their frequently-changing specialty cupcakes, like the Black Forest Cupcake. (We’ve got ANOTHER one of those to show you today, so stay tuned!) But to fuel all your camping fun at the Fort, you may find it handy to have a cup o’ caffeine at the ready, too… [Read more…]
We’re hoppin’ over to The Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort to do some snackin’!
Welcome to Fort Wilderness!
We know and love P & J’s Southern Takeout for its southern classics, but it also has plenty of tasty treats! And today, we’re grabbing another one of ’em: the Pineapple Upside Down Cake Push Pop. There have been seasonal push pops here before, and we’re excited to give this one a try.
You may not know exactly when a character is going to parade through the parks nowadays, but Disney Character Cavalcades have made for a fun surprise in the parks.
Mickey cruising down Hollywood Boulevard!
Because Disney doesn’t want people crowding together in the parks, they’ve implemented these sporadic mini-parades so you still can say hi to some of your favorite Disney characters. And, it’s (mostly) working! We’ve been stumbling upon them in Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom for a while now, so we’ve got some tips on the BEST spots to catch them when they’re on their most unique form of transportation — boats!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
