food IS a theme park
Disney is celebrating Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month in one of our favorite ways — with food!
The Polite Pig
We’ve already tried a delicious Passion Fruit Tres Leches and are still drooling over that Mango-Chamoy Funnel Cake we had last week, but now a new savory option in Disney Springs has caught our eye. The Polite Pig, a fast-casual spot that serves up some tasty barbecue, is participating in the celebration with a new entree. Come check it out!
Yes, we know, we’re in the middle of Halloween season right now…but we’ve got to talk about Christmas!
Hollywood Studios Christmas tree
The holiday season comes RIGHT after Halloween in Disney World, and this year, there will be not one, but TWO special events taking place. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is returning, but Hollywood Studios is also introducing an all-new event called Jollywood Nights. And today, Disney shared more details about the entertainment at this new party!
Well, the past week has been an exciting one, especially for us Disney World fans!
Pumpkin Spice Butter Bar
We got some updates on some pretty MAJOR projects happening in the parks, including a revamped Country Bears Jamboree, more ideas for the Magic Kingdom expansion, and potential concepts for the reimagining of DinoLand, U.S.A. But that isn’t all that happened. While all THAT was going on, Disney World was changing up some restaurant menus, but it’s okay because we are on top of it!
Disney is known for making some pretty bold announcements.
Disney World
Back in 2019, Disney announced a new hotel that would be coming to Disney World — Reflections — A Disney Lakeside Lodge. Permits were filed, but Disney quietly stopped making any sort of references to this future hotel. And then… that was it — until now. We have an update on Reflections along with more permits that were recently filed in Disney World!
Things are ALWAYS changing in Disney World, so much so that it’s often hard to keep up.
Grand Floridian Resort
Things seem to always be under construction (EPCOT, we’re looking at you); new restaurants are being built, new lands are being proposed, and more. Parking is another thing that has changed in Disney World, including how you park at a hotel where you have a dining reservation.
It’s an exciting week when you can celebrate new Disney World arrivals.
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway
That makes every week an exciting week! Yep, every week at Disney World, we try new foods, shop for new merchandise, and we check out attraction and park updates — like construction! This week was filled with changes big and small, but there were a few things that stood out to us.
EPCOT is home to many different kinds of restaurants and attractions, which means you should probably expect to wait in some lines.
Mexico
Sometimes, you know exactly where to expect the lines, like at popular rides such as Frozen Ever After. But we spotted a majorly long line recently in a place that you may not be expecting.
We’re all glad Fantasmic! made a comeback in Disney World!
Fantasmic!
When Disney World reopened after the COVID shutdown, it took a while (like two years) for Fantasmic! to return. But now that it’s back, we want to keep you updated on when you’ll be able to see this nighttime spectacular!
EPCOT has just been a buzz of excitement lately.
EPCOT
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana will open on October 16th, and it was announced that Moana would join the lineup of characters you can meet at EPCOT. However, that’s not the only new character meet and greet! Figment started greeting guests in the Imagination Pavilion of EPCOT on September 10th, and… we thought it would be fun to ask our readers over on Facebook what THEY thought of the new character experience.
EPCOT is home to many kinds of beautiful things from all over the world.
EPCOT’s France Pavilion
You can eat snacks from all around the world or even drink around the world if you desire. What’s more beautiful than a glass of bubbly from the France pavilion, right? Each World Showcase pavilion also has special merchandise from the country it represents. Did you know that there are genuine designer pieces hiding in the France Pavilion?
