food IS a theme park
The holiday season is just around the corner!
Holidays in Magic Kingdom
If you’re heading to Disney World for the holidays this year, you’re probably looking to check out ALL the special offerings like the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, visiting with Santa, a new After Hours party in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and buying holiday merchandise. And if you’re heading to Disney World this November, let’s talk about what to expect on your upcoming trip.
It might not seem like it, but the holidays aren’t that far away AT ALL.
2022 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
We’re already starting to get ready for the holiday season in Disney World, too (okay, technically, we started getting ready during the summer). One of our favorite Disney World holiday traditions, though, is the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, and we now have confirmation of everything that’s coming to this year’s event — and we are SO excited!
Not all water is created equal.
Journey of Water
Face it — we all have our favorite bottled water brands. There’s just something about our favorite brands that tastes better. We’ll sometimes even pay for more expensive water just to get that special taste. But does water even have a taste? That age-old debate not only has an answer, but the general consensus also seems to be that Walt Disney World sells the worst-tasting water.
Well, to say things are getting busy in Disney World is an understatement.
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
The crowds have arrived in FULL force this weekend, and the first sign we knew it was going to be busy was seeing the price of Genie+ go up to its highest in over a month. Well, today, that price has gone even HIGHER, so we expect to see even MORE people in the parks today.
A trip to the Disney Parks can never be complete without grabbing your favorite snack at least once, right? Sometimes, getting that special treat is just as important as getting on your favorite ride or seeing your favorite show.
Yum!
While there isn’t a consensus best Disney treat, there seems to be at least one snack that Disney fans CAN’T STOP BUYING. An icon at both Disney World and Disneyland, this treat isn’t likely to see its popularity temper any time soon.
Disney World might be the Most Magical Place on Earth, but sometimes things are a little less than magical.
Genie+
Rides temporarily close. Refurbishments get scheduled. Transportation problems happen. Sometimes, though, it’s Disney’s technology that fails us, which seems to be the issue with the My Disney Experience app this morning. We want to give you a heads up if you’re planning on using Genie+ in Disney World today.
If you’re looking forward to enjoying some adult beverages on your next Disney World trip, there are some rules you’ll need to follow!
Prickly Pear Margarita
If you enjoy an alcoholic beverage, you’ll find plenty while at Disney World. Whether you’re planning a whole day at the EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival or hitting up the popular Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, there are a lot of options. But of course, safety is always a priority for Disney, so there are some rules guests are expected to follow.
A popular ride in EPCOT is going to be temporarily CLOSED this week!
EPCOT
Luckily that closure is only expected to last for a single day. However, there are currently a few other closures in Disney World that are lasting much longer than a day. Let’s check out all the temporary closures in Disney World for the week of October 8th through the 14th.
We’ve probably eaten THOUSANDS of snacks in Disney World.
Mmmm…ice cream
Nope, we’re not exaggerating! We’ve been reviewing Disney food for 15+ years, and that means we’ve tried quite a lot of it. With all those years of food reviews, we’ve seen snacks come and go frequently. Today, we’re sharing a list of the snacks that Disney World had to stop selling!
If long lines and big crowds stress you out, you probably should just close this post right now. Seriously. It got SCARY in EPCOT today.
The CROWDS
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana has soft-opened in EPCOT, and it’s already VERY popular. Come with us to check out the CROWDS and find out how long you might have to wait in order to go inside the new attraction. [Read more…]
