food IS a theme park
Have you been to an After Hours Event in Disney World? These late-night parties are popular with Disney World visitors for one BIG reason: low crowds.
After Hours at EPCOT
They require a separate ticket, but a very limited amount are sold meaning most rides — even the popular ones — have little to no wait! But tonight, we’re sorry to say you can’t go to the After Hours at Hollywood Studios, unless you already planned ahead.
With spring on the horizon, it’s time to get EXCITED for fresh, new treats at Disney World.
Grand Cottage
One of our favorite places to get some sweet treats (and all the vibes) in the spring is Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. Each spring, they build an adorable little cottage that sits in the lobby: the Grand Cottage. Inside, you can purchase all sorts of springtime sweets! Oh, and there are also some super impressive Easter egg displays that are themed to Disney stories and movies. It’s truly the perfect afternoon activity, if you ask us. Well, get excited, because the Grand Cottage is making its third annual comeback SOON!Â
We love Disney World, there is no doubt about it at all!
But Disney World has implemented a bunch of rules recently that have us scratching our heads and trying to figure out how to plan our days around them!
EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts might be over for 2024, but that doesn’t mean we had to say goodbye to EVERYTHING from it!
Swirled Showcase
While we were sad to see EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts come to an end, we were even more sad to say goodbye to some of our favorite eats and treats that came out of the festival. Luckily though, we spotted a festival favorite that seems to be sticking around a tad longer — and we were so excited to spot it! [Read more…]
Some of the most popular rides in Disney World don’t have a standby line AT ALL. So HOW can you ride them?
TRON Lightcycle / Run
The answer is virtual queues! For TRON Lightcycle / Run and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, you cannot physically stand in line — you must either use the virtual queue or purchase an Individual Lightning Lane. If you’re going to go with the FREE option (the virtual queue), there are four important rules that you need to know!
We always try to give ample warnings before holiday weekends at Disney World.Â
Main Street, U.S.A.
As much as we expect the bustling crowds and high wait times to hit hard during holiday weekends and the following days, sometimes it packs just as hard of a punch although we expect it. Sometimes, it happens when we LEAST expect it. This happened to us on Wednesday, February 21st. President’s Day was two days ago, and the parks were relatively empty. However, crowds slowly started entering the park throughout the week, probably due to the upcoming Princess Half Marathon Weekend. We were visiting Magic Kingdom on Wednesday, and we suspected that it would be a busy day long before we even entered the park. Let’s talk about it!
Cast Members are known for making magic for guests each day. Cast Members truly add that extra touch of pixie dust!
Cast Members in EPCOT
The Disney Food Blog team just happens to be full of past Disney Cast Members. We recently have asked our team about their regrets while working as a Cast Member.
We reached out to our resident Cast Member alumni to tell us about their confessions from when they used to work at Disney World!
Disney foodies, we may have just bought extra time for one of our newest favorite treats in Disney World!
Beignets in Magic Kingdom
From time to time, Disney releases full foodie lineups that will make your mouth water… with a catch! Most of these delectable bites only run for a limited time at Disney World until they’re (usually) gone for a while. However, it seems that one of these recent releases has been such a hit that Disney has decided to EXTEND its stay in Magic Kingdom for a few more weeks! [Read more…]
I still can’t believe all of THESE snacks exist inside Disney World — and are available for YOU to buy and try on your next trip!
Patisserie a L’abricot
You never know what you’re gonna find, and we’re pulling back the curtain on some seriously ridiculous snacks today.
Alright Disney fans, we’ve got some divisive news to report so LISTEN UP!
Soarin’
We’re no strangers to Disney rides and attractions going out of service, being taken out completely, and teasing us with testing rides to be open soon like we’ve recently seen with Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. When news initially broke that Disney would be bringing Soarin’ Over California BACK to Disney World for a limited-time run to celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary, we never guessed it would have lasted this long. But for the fans of this version of the popular attraction, we’ve got major news to share! [Read more…]
