food IS a theme park
We’ve stopped by La Cava del Tequila a few times since EPCOT reopened.
La Cava del Tequila
First, because we’d missed this cozy tequila bar tucked inside the Mexico pavilion. And, of course, we just had to stop by to wish La Cava a Happy Birthday. We’ve even grabbed some guacamole-to-go. And now, we have another very good reason to go back again… because La Cava del Tequila has announced the return of another one of their specialty margaritas! [Read more…]
‘Olu Mel is an adorable ukulele-playing turtle and the newest addition to the Duffy and Friends gang.
‘Olu Mel Soft Serve
The cuddly cutie was first introduced at Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa in Hawaii then took a swim over to Shanghai Disneyland Resort. While we spotted some of his merchandise before, Walt Disney World is celebrating his official arrival with special treats and merchandise! We headed over to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to check out the souvenirs and try the new ‘Olu Mel Soft-Serve!
If you don’t try every single Halloween snack in Disney World, did you really go to Disney during the fall?
Poison Candied Apple
As you know, we are on a mission to find ALL the Halloween snacks! We’ve tasted the Poisoned Candied Apple, Black and Orange Sugared Mini Churros, the Pumpkin Spice Sundae, and let’s not forget that beautiful Constance’s For Better or For Worse Cake! Today, we spotted another sweet Halloween treat that’s made it’s way back to Disney World…so, you know we HAD to get it!
Disney World recently dropped some MAJOR updates for the upcoming holiday season. Some of these announcements included the cancelation of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party as well as the Candlelight Processional in EPCOT.
As unfortunate as these announcements were, they were in-step with other decisions Disney World has made when it comes to large crowd events, like the cancelation of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party 2019
While there were some stories that fell in line with our expectations for how the holiday season would shake out, there were also a few shocking bombshells that quite frankly we did NOT see coming! Here are the top three surprises from Disney World’s holiday news drop this week.
Do you know ‘Olu Mel? If not, we’re going to help you say “Aloha!” to this little one…
‘Olu Mel!
‘Olu Mel might be familiar to you if you’ve ever visited Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. This little sea turtle is a friend to Mickey and Duffy… but you don’t have to go to to Hawaii to get to know this pal, because Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort in Disney World is celebrating him with limited-time treats and merchandise right now!

We’ve tried our fair share of ice cream and soft-serve flavors in Disney parks over the years. We can always rely on classic frozen favorites at Main Street Plaza Ice Cream Parlor, Sunshine Tree Terrace, and L’Artisan des Glaces, but we’ve also seen some pretty bizarre flavors appear, especially over at Salt & Straw in Downtown Disney!
Pina Colada Ice Cream Martini
But never in our wildest dreams did we imagine trying CHEESE ice cream in Disney World! You guys know our long-standing love of all things cheese in Disney World. So you can only imagine our shock and curiosity when we discovered that there was a cheese-flavored frozen treat in Magic Kingdom! Turns out that just because something is cheese flavored, doesn’t mean it’s an automatic hit!
Magic Kingdom has received an ooky-spooky makeover today!
Magic Kingdom Halloween
It’s the most frightful time of the year and Magic Kingdom has risen to the occasion with all sorts of celebrations! Of course, those iconic Mickey pumpkins are back on Main Street but that’s not all of the Halloween fun. We’re taking a look at this year’s Halloween entertainment!
This is Halloween, this is Halloween! And we are SO excited.
Halloween Decorations
Even though we can’t celebrate at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year, we CAN still have a frightfully fun time in Magic Kingdom. That’s right, Halloween decorations are up along Main Street, U.S.A. — and Cast Members have donned their Mickey’s Not-So-Scary costumes! Eek!
One of the main ideas behind Disney World is that everything is a “show.” That’s why employees in Disney World are called “Cast Members” and why their uniforms are called “costumes.”
Cast Members are the BEST!
Every single costume you see Cast Members wear has been well thought out as to how it can help tell the story of each particular ride, restaurant, shop, or land. Some costumes have stayed with us over the years and have a special place in our hearts, so let’s look at TEN Disney World costumes that we truly love!
It’s officially SPOOKY SEASON in Disney World!
Magic Kingdom Halloween
We may not be able to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year, but that doesn’t mean the holiday is going to pass unnoticed! We confirmed with Cast Members that Magic Kingdom would still be decorating for Halloween.
Yesterday, more holiday decor had started to trickle in, but as of today, Magic Kingdom has officially received its Halloween makeover!
