food IS a theme park
Disney World is the most magical place on earth, right?
Magic Kingdom
Your trip should be filled with laughter, fun, and maybe even a few happy tears. However, we have seen some things at Disney World, that we wish we could unsee! Since we’re in Disney World every day, we thought we would share the cringest things we’ve seen people do at Disney World.
Spooky season is in full swing in Disney World!
It’s time to decorate!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has begun, the best Halloween decor has arrived on Main Street, and Pumpkin Spiced Lattes are BACK at Main Street Bakery! If you’re holding out for the real holiday to head to Disney World and you have big plans for when you get there, you’re probably going to want to make some reservations for your trip. If so, mark your calendars — an important planning date is coming up!
For those of you who love Disney World and love the FOOD that you can get at Disney World, it’s a really exciting time!
Welcome to Disney World!
The Disney Dining Plan (DDP) will return on January 9th, 2024, for those staying at Disney World hotels. Not only this, but Park Pass Reservations will no longer be required for most guests after this date. We expect these two things to make snagging reservations at fan-favorite dining locations harder. For most popular restaurants across Disney World property, Disney requires Advanced Dining Reservations (ADRs), which can be made up to 60 days in advance of your visit. Some of these restaurants will SERIOUSLY require you to wake up at 6AM on the 60-day mark to select your dining locations, or else your chances of grabbing a reservation are slim to none. If you’re wondering which restaurants you should be on your A-game in order to grab, then keep reading.
🚨SNACK ALERT!🚨 TONS of Disney fans who visit Disney Springs know that there’s one special bakery that garners some SUPER long lines throughout the day. Why? Because it’s simply the best! (At least, we think so!)
Disney Springs
We’ve warned you about unexpected ride closures and sudden weather-related transportation delays, but did you know that even STORES can close (or open) without warning? One of the most popular snack spots in Disney World is experiencing some issues that may impact your next visit to Disney Springs. Let’s take a look.
Update:Â Though heavy construction continues on the exterior of the hotel, it seems that the construction within the lobby has ended and the construction walls have been removed.
Could one of the most ICONIC holiday displays in Disney World be in danger this year?
Grand Floridian Lobby at Christmastime
The holiday season typically brings a number of unique decorations and celebrations to Disney World. At EPCOT, 2023 will bring the return of the International Festival of the Holidays. This year, we’ll also see the return of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and the start of the NEW Disney Jollywood Nights party. The holiday fun extends beyond the parks with decor, snacks, and more at Disney Springs and Disney’s hotels. But we’re very worried about one particularly iconic holiday display this year…
Disney World is expensive enough as is without wasting your money, and we’re about to save you SO MUCH CASH!
The Emporium
We’re here to warn you about the WORST things you’ll buy in Disney World so that you don’t fall into any traps!
There are so many places to pick from for where you will get your next meal in Disney World.
Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom is loved for its great access to wild animals on the Kilimanjaro Safaris, its amazing views in Pandora, and the fun characters you can meet there! However, Animal Kingdom is not necessarily known for its food like EPCOT, but you might be surprised at the unique options it does have!
Moonlight Magic is coming up SOON at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Hollywood Studios
This exclusive event is for Disney Vacation Club members and gives them the chance to enjoy the parks after the rest of the guests leave for the night. That means fewer crowds, lower wait times, and more exclusive experiences (like characters!) — and registration for the next Moonlight Magic at Hollywood Studios is open now!
We’ve got some news straight from Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom during Hurricane Idalia
From weather-related closures to refurbishment updates, we see rides close in Disney World pretty often. Recently, parts of Florida have been dealing with Hurricane Idalia for the past few days, and Disney World has not been spared from the weather. While the parks didn’t close, certain experiences outside of them did, and many outdoor rides could not run while the storm was happening. In the midst of the bad weather, one classic ride just reopened after its temporary refurbishment. Let’s take a look!
Many fans rejoiced when it was announced that the Disney Dining Plan would return in 2024. Specifically, the Disney Dining Plan will return to Disney World on January 9th, 2024. If you’re planning a trip to Disney World for next year, this may be IMPORTANT news to consider.
Crystal Palace
Keep in mind that when it returns, the Quick Service and Standard Disney Dining Plans will be the only two options to return (for now). Disney has previously stated that the Dining Plan must be booked as part of a hotel package. But now, an important change has just been announced regarding the Disney Dining Plan.
