food IS a theme park
Disney World is changing significantly in the coming months!
Animal Kingdom
Updates are coming to the hotels and to EPCOT later this year, and of course, we’ll be celebrating Halloween and then the holiday season in the next few months. So if you’re traveling in October…what new things can you expect to find in Disney World? We’ve got the list!
If you’ve followed DFB for a while, you know that we have a serious obsession with cheese.
Salt & Straw
We will NEVER stop telling you how much we love plastic cheese (and if we do, call a doctor because there would be something wrong with us). We’re also big fans of that Donut Grilled Cheese sandwich from Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew. So when we discovered that Salt & Straw had put CHEESE in ice cream, well, you know we were running to Disney Springs to try it out.
Know what the best part of fall is? The fact that you can celebrate one holiday — HALLOWEEN — for approximately three full months. At least in Disney World, anyway. Over in Magic Kingdom, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is already in full swing!
Happy Halloween!
Plus, we get to enjoy alllll the festive Halloween decorations and special merchandise in the parks and resorts. But wanna know what’s even better? All the spooky Halloween treats that are available in Disney World! There are a TON of spooky snacks available this year, and of course, we couldn’t wait to try a few! Come with us to Disney Springs to try some NEW treats at Swirls on the Water.Â
The wait is over!
Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana
The new Moana-inspired attraction in EPCOT — Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana — is set to open in the fall of 2023. We’ve been not-so-patiently waiting for it to arrive, but we were lucky enough to attend a Cast Member preview! We had a ton of fun walking through this exploration trail and playing with the living water — you can read all about our experience here. But, there was one thing that didn’t quite go according to plan.
Make way, make way — a new attraction is opening soon in EPCOT and we’ve got all kinds of details to share with you!
Moana
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is an interactive, walk-through experience that will be opening this fall in EPCOT’s World Nature. The attraction allows you to interact with “living water,” learn about the natural water cycle (and how to protect and preserve water), and features all kinds of unique character details to hunt for. But what is it REALLY like to go through this attraction? Well, we grabbed tons of videos and photos during a special Cast Member preview and now we’re taking you along with us to experience it all.
It’s finally TIME!! 🌊🌊🌊
Journey of Water Inspired by Moana
The brand-new Moana-inspired walk-through attraction — Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana — is set to open in the fall of 2023. We’ve seen sneak peeks of the attraction, and some of the construction walls have come down in the area, but we FINALLY got the chance to experience it for ourselves and we’re taking YOU with us!
Although we still don’t have an official opening date for Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana in EPCOT, we got to attend a Cast Member preview of the attraction today!
Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana
So here’s the thing — the attraction is GORGEOUS and definitely has that whole EPCOT fun, yet educational, vibe. But there was one thing about the attraction that surprised us the most — its bathroom. Yep, we’re going to have to add a NEW bathroom to the list of best bathrooms in Disney World because this one is UH-Mazing.
A new restaurant announcement at Disney World is like Christmas for us here at Disney Food Blog!
Magic Kingdom
And just like kids who sneak around in the weeks before Christmas, trying to discover where their mom and dad hid the presents, we cannot wait for the big day to know what the new restaurant will be like! We scour the internet for clues about the new restaurant’s atmostphere, potential menu items, and prices.
We’ve got some bad news for anyone headed to Disney Springs. The beloved Gideon’s Bakehouse shop is one of the most popular spots in Disney Springs — some people make a special trip JUST to go to Gideon’s! But recently, the bakery has been experiencing some issues.
Gideon’s Bakehouse
If you were hoping to try the new September seasonal flavors at Gideon’s, you might have to wait a little while longer. Here’s the situation.
Every month we look forward to the specialty treats at Gideon’s Bakehouse.
