food IS a theme park
Disney is sending us on a wild goose chase for pumpkins — and we’re loving every second of it.
EPCOT
For Halloween this year, Disney is celebrating in all our favorite ways! There are plenty of decorations to admire and (of course) snacks to try, and the beloved Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is back again this year! Now it’s time for a returning scavenger hunt to make its way to EPCOT — who’s ready to look for PUMPKINS in EPCOT?
The fall and winter are particularly busy times to visit Disney World.
Santa Goofy!
From holiday celebrations and schools being released for said holidays, to folks flocking to the parks in hopes of experiencing Disney World without the excruciating heat, the months October through January will bring some pretty high crowds and LOTS of excitement. This year, things are particularly exciting, as Disney is celebrating 100 years of magic. The 100th Anniversary Celebration kicked off in EPCOT on September 22nd, and with that celebration brings a very important date!
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is set to welcome everyone into the new attraction in EPCOT within the coming weeks, and we can hardly wait.

Now that we’ve had a chance to walk through this new attraction and experience its wonder for ourselves, we’re helping you accessorize for your first adventure through Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana!
Disney World vacations can be complicated.
Welcome to Disney World!
When you’re planning a trip — especially your FIRST trip — you start to realize how BIG Disney World is — 40+ square miles, and how many choices there are for hotels.
A lot of change is happening in Disney World.
Gyro at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort
A new attraction is set to open soon in EPCOT. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom is under construction. New DVC villas are being built at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Restaurants are changing in Disney World, too, and, well, some of those most recent changes include price increases.
“What do you want for dinner?” It’s a seemingly mundane and innocent question, but if you’re like us, you know just how difficult that decision really can be. Here’s the thing: It only gets WORSE when you’re at Disney World!
Brown Derby Lounge Spread
In Disney’s Hollywood Studios alone, there are THIRTY restaurants. How in the world are you supposed to decide where to eat?? Luckily, we’ve been to every single one of them several times and tried a ton of the menu items at each one, so we can tell you exactly which ones are worth your time, stomach space, and money.

Change can be hard, especially when it comes to your favorite snacks and drinks.
Swan and Dolphin Hotels
Disney World has a long-standing partnership with Coca-Cola, which you can see at several places throughout the theme parks, especially at one of our favorite EPCOT stops, Club Cool. There’s also a whole multi-story building dedicated to having the ultimate Coca-Cola experience at Disney Springs, sipping sodas from a scenic rooftop. So if you’re a Pepsi products fan visiting Disney World, surrounded by Coca-Cola everywhere, is there any hope for getting Pepsi anywhere? [Read more…]
If you consider yourself a Disney Adult or Disney Parks fanatic, you’ve probably heard of “drinking around the world” at EPCOT.
EPCOT
Drinking around the world is when EPCOT visitors grab an alcoholic drink in each of the 11 countries represented in World Showcase. While some folks prefer to treat themselves to fun beverages, we’re choosing to grab all the best SNACKS on this adventure. So, if you’re interested in what we feel are the BEST snacks from each of the countries, then come along with us as we eat around the world!
In the last few months of 2023, EPCOT is BUSY.
Crowds in EPCOT
With new character meet and greets, Disney100 celebrations, the Food & Wine Festival, and a brand-new attraction opening, there are plenty of reasons to visit the parks. Right now, Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana is drawing in quite a few guests because Annual Passholder and Disney Vacation Club previews are in progress. And if you were hoping to stop by the park this upcoming weekend, we have a warning for you!
