food IS a theme park
Over the past few weeks, we’ve marveled at all the artistic creations and fun merchandise at the Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. Now that it’s winding down for the year, it appears Disney has saved the best for last!Â
International Festival of the Arts
A true work of art, the Designer Mickey Ear Hat is a glorious homage to Disney’s number one celeb!Â
The EPCOT Festival of the Arts may be winding down…

…but there’s still plenty to enjoy over the next few days before it ends! And one of the things we love is watching Visual Art in Performance, where Disney artists take to the stage and create art right in front of our eyes!
Sometimes you just need an extra boost in the morning or middle of the day!
Starbucks!
When we’re at Disney Springs, we love heading to one of the two Starbucks locations there for a quick pick-me-up. Not only are they convenient, but they often have some unique location-specific drinks, including the Robert Brownie Jr. (yes, that really was its name) and the Melted Snowman.
Lately, with all of our feverish excitement, we’ve been feeling like groupies for the construction barges at Disney World!
Harmonious Barge
It’s without question that EPCOT’s upcoming nighttime spectacular, Harmonious, is one of our most anticipated attractions in Disney World, which is why we get SUPER psyched any time we see new construction afloat. And continuing this pattern of eager fandom, we spotted another construction barge on World Showcase Lagoon today!Â
We’ve seen Sorcerer Mickey in cupcake form, on tiki mugs, and of course as those ICONIC Sorcerer Mickey Ears! But the latest Sorcerer Mickey iteration may be the most epic yet!Â

Sorcerer Mickey has officially taken the shape of a larger-than-life LEGO Statue in Disney Springs!Â
If you’re heading to Magic Kingdom tomorrow, you’ll have a little extra time in the park to enjoy!
Magic Kingdom
It’s looking like another busy weekend in Disney World. The crowds can make navigating the parks a little tougher, but occasionally, Disney will extend select park hours on busy days to help accommodate guests.
We’re going to admit it — we’re actually excited about one new dining spot that’s coming to Orlando OUTSIDE of Disney World.

That spot is White Castle, which was announced late last year. And we’ve been following the construction of the new White Castle location near Disney Springs.
If you’re planning a trip to Disney World during the first week in May, we’ve got an important update for you!
Magic Kingdom
We’ve been keeping a close eye on the Disney World park hours as they’re released. Recently, the hours were made available through May 1st. And now, hours have also been released for the following week as well!
If you were hoping to plan a last-minute visit to the parks today, you might be out of luck!
EPCOT
We noticed some heavy crowds in Disney World last weekend. And it looks like this will be another busy weekend at the parks!
Did you know that there are over 400 dining options at Disney World?
Cinderella’s Royal Table
And almost every restaurant has its own theming and story! For example, the restaurant inside Cinderella Castle is Cinderella’s Royal Table, where you can dine with Cindy IN her grand castle. Or consider Liberty Tree Tavern, where you can FEAST on a meal fit for patriots in colonial rooms where it’s Thanksgiving ALL YEAR. But with all the over-the-top themed dining, there are several ideas that we’ve wanted to see that just haven’t happened! So here are the restaurants we think Disney needs to build ASAP.
