food IS a theme park
We hope you’re ready for big changes this year because Disney World will look a LOT different in 2024.
Magic Kingdom
In January alone, the Disney Dining Plan returned, all-day park hopping is back, and Park Pass reservations have gone away for most guests. With park hopping and Park Pass rules changing, how you book Virtual Queues, Individual Lightning Lane selections, and Genie+ selections looks a little different as well. Here’s what you need to know.
Do you know which Disney World restaurant has TWO locations?
Animal Kingdom
Yep, that’s right — Rainforest Cafe! The chain restaurant has spots in both Disney Springs and at Animal Kingdom Theme Park. But despite having multiple locations in Disney World and around the globe, Rainforest Cafe doesn’t exactly have the best reputation when it comes to the eats. Is it really as bad as people make it seem? I stopped by recently to try out some menu items and bring you a full review!
We’ve already seen LOTS of new treats in Disney World for the holiday season, but now four MORE are coming to celebrate!
We’re getting ready to ring in 2024
Starting this week, you’ll be able to find some special New Year’s treats at the Disney World parks and hotels. [Read more…]
You’ve heard us rave about it before, and you’ll hear us rave about it again — Mobile Ordering in Disney World.
Mobile Order sign in EPCOT
Sure, the My Disney Experience app has its flaws (quite a few of them actually), but one of our favorite features that it offers is Mobile Order! No need to wait in long lines at quick service restaurants when you order ahead. Sometimes Mobile Order can be frustrating when the parks are particularly busy and it gets backed up, but this week, we ran into an entirely different problem.
Disney Genie+ just hit its record-high holiday price in Disney World, days before Christmas.
Disney Genie
The skip-the-line service fluctuates in price based on expected crowd levels, so during particularly busy times like the holidays, you can expect pretty high prices! Today, it’s at the highest price we’ve seen yet. [Read more…]
Occasionally, Disney releases new merchandise and souvenir items that sell like HOTCAKES.Â
Lorcana
Out of all the merchandise Disney has released in 2023, the Lorcana Trading Cards have been among the most popular. A partnership with Ravensburger, these collectable cards allow Disney fans to participate in their very own tale throughout the card game. These were released in August 2023 and sold out FAST, restocked later in the year on shopDisney, and were even the first card games to EVER to be made available by virtual queue on Amazon. So… It’s safe to say these bad boys are pretty popular. If you’re hoping to get your hands on some, you’re in luck.Â
Disney World may be “The Most Magical Place On Earth,” but that doesn’t always mean it’s a great time of year to visit the resort.
Magic Kingdom crowds
Despite being one of our favorite places on the planet, there are actually a few days we advise AGAINST going to Disney World. Whether due to the time of year or due to price increases, there are days when being at Disney World can be — well — a headache. We’re here to tell you about an event coming to Disney World in 2024 that was just announced — let’s talk about it!
HURRY! You only have a few days left to get these AMAZING snacks in EPCOT!
Turkey Poutine
EPCOT has some of the best food in Disney World, no matter what time of year it is. But we’re definitely going to miss these 23 delicious eats that will disappear when the Festival of the Holidays officially ends on December 30th. [Read more…]
Planning a Disney World vacation takes a lot of work these days.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Between dining reservations, Lightning Lane selections, hotel choices, and more, it can be a lot. And, when you consider that your favorite ride may just fall victim to a closure — things can get dicey real quick. An iconic Hollywood Studios ride is closing in early 2024 and we’re sharing everything we know.
Celebrities are just like us, really, and that means some of them are Disney fans.
