food IS a theme park
We go to Disney World every single day.
We believe in magic!
And every single day, we notice new things that pop up here and there in the parks. We also love to keep tabs on all the construction and new things coming soon to the parks. One of our favorite places to spot new updates is Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Well, what will someday be Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Right now, it’s mostly just a bunch of construction. Well, and a queue. Speaking of which…
As most of you already know by now, some EXCITING updates will go into effect in January, 2024.Â
Disney World
The Disney Dining Plan will return, all-day park hopping will make a comeback, and of course — park pass reservation requirements will disappear for most visitors. Most visitors meaning… everyone except for Annual Passholders and Cast Members. 😠Yep, Annual Passholders are included in the folks that will still need park pass reservations. Here’s what you should know.
2024 is going to be a big year in Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
We’re getting a new ride in Magic Kingdom, the Disney Dining Plan is returning, and Park Pass Reservations are going away for most guests. If, like us, you’re excited to finally hit the parks without having to worry about snagging a reservation — we have some news for you about how Virtual Queues will work in the new year!
We’re no stranger to construction in Disney World, and neither is anyone who has visited the parks in the past few years.
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
EPCOT’s massive Transformation is coming to a close soon and we’re watching as Disney World hotels begin to finish up their projects (but some still have a little bit to go). If you’re staying at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn soon we have some great news!
You know you can find FANTASTIC food when you head to Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
There are over 60 different restaurants or dining experiences to choose from in the district. And the best part? You don’t need a park ticket! We had recently headed over to Morimoto Asia to try out their top food and drinks and ended up spending nearly $300! Luckily, we’ve recently heard about a deal this delicious Asian restaurant is starting to offer.
Attention, Disney World Annual Passholders! A BIG ticket change is coming SOON, and it’ll probably affect your next trip to the parks!
Annual Pass card
Disney previously announced that “Good-To-Go” days were coming for Annual Passholders and Cast Members. These are days when Passholders and Cast Members will NOT have to make a Park Pass Reservation to enter the theme parks. Now, we know when those “Good-To-Go” days will be released!
You’ll find some seriously impressive restaurants around Disney World.
Citricos Dining Room
Don’t believe us? Check the Michelin Guide! Some of Disney’s restaurants have been recognized by this respected brand, from Toledo — Tapas, Steak, & Seafood to Victoria and Albert’s and California Grill. In 2022, Citricos was Michelin Guide-recognized following a menu revamp led by Chef Andres Mendoza. Recently, a few new menu items have been added to the restaurant and I stopped by to check them out — read on for my full review!
While we do have a soft spot for any merchandise item or souvenir that has a touch of Disney on it, there are some merchandise collections that we love more than others.Â
Magic Kingdom
When a merchandise collection that we LOVE rolls out, we search high and low for every component of the collection so that we can have it allll. Well, y’all, we found a souvenir collection that we love. It’s online now, and we have a feeling that a lot of folks will like the vintage-inspired collection as much as we do — so ya might want to act fast.
It’s Christmas week in Disney World, and you know what that means!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
It’s about to get busy! Christmas week is one of the most popular weeks to visit Disney World, and we understand why. It’s so festive around the parks during the holidays. Everything is decorated, Christmas music can be heard everywhere, and we can’t forget about the SNOAP. But because of how even MORE magical it is this week, we all want to be there. However, if you don’t already have your park reservations made, you might be out of luck, at least in one park.
2024 is shaping up to be a BIG year for Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
New restaurants and rides will be opening, the Disney Dining Plan is coming back, park passes are going away, and all-day park hopping is returning! It’s a lot of change in a short amount of time, and if you’re visiting Disney World for the first time in a while you’re probably trying to decide just what your plan of attack should be. When it comes to park hopping, we think we’ve figured out the BEST order to do it — and no, we will not be taking any questions.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
