food IS a theme park
Disney World is getting a few NEW restaurants soon, but one spot could become especially popular!
Panko-Crusted Pickle Dog
Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs already operates a kiosk in Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney District and it is home to the controversial PICKLE corn dog (among other unique creations!). But soon this corn dog paradise will be making its way to Disney World and we’ve got some updates!
UPDATE:Â According to WESH 2 News, Glen Gilzean resigned from his position on the Florida Commission on Ethics in favor of keeping his job as the District Administrator of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (formerly the Reedy Creek Improvement District).
There’s been a new development in the drama between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) board, and Disney.
Disney vs. DeSantis
The trio are already involved in a number of lawsuits, with Disney suing Gov. DeSantis (claiming the governor violated the company’s free speech rights) and the Board suing Disney because of agreements the company made with the previous Reedy Creek District board.

We’ve eaten at every restaurant, fast food spot, and snack cart in EPCOT, and we know just where to find the BEST places to eat. But that means we’ve also discovered some of the worst ones, too.

If you’re planning an upcoming Disney World trip, don’t forget to avoid these EPCOT restaurants!
Do you have a favorite Disney World ride?
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
If you’re like us, you might have SEVERAL favorites, but the truth of the matter is that almost EVERY Disney World ride just SLAPS. Disney Imagineering has blown our minds on MULTIPLE occasions with attractions like Rise of the Resistance in Hollywood Studios and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT. But what if we could only choose the three that are practically perfect in every way?
Did you know that Disney is currently celebrating World Princess Week?
Jasmine and Genie
This event takes place from August 20th to 26th this year and celebrates the history of Disney Princesses with special merchandise, snacks, and more. We made our way over to EPCOT to try an interesting NEW treat that stars Princess Jasmine that was released in honor of the occasion, but is it something YOU should try? Come with us to find out!
Okay, okay, we know what you’re thinking — “You’re ALREADY talking about the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays?!” But hear us out, Disney is a special place where all seasons start at…unique times.

Sure, pumpkin season may have only just started in some spots, but we can’t help but get excited about all things holly and jolly! Disney has already announced that the 2023 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays will take place from November 24th through December 30th, 2023, and they’ve shared that there will be holiday kitchens, musical acts, and more but now we’ve got a clue about another returning offering!

EPCOT
Between your retro-futuristic vibes and multicultural representation, delicious eats, and stellar shopping — we can’t seem to get enough. Even though we’re in Disney World every single day, we’re still learning new things. And, there’s plenty to learn at one pavilion in particular!
It’s a BIG week, everyone — and it calls for some royal celebration!
Hi, Tiana!
It’s World Princess Week, and from August 20th-26th, you can join Disney in celebrating all the Disney Princesses as well as their spirit of kindness, compassion, creativity, and adventure. Throughout the week, you can join in on some of the fun by eating themed snacks and getting special photos taken. Speaking of photos, Disney shared what this year’s Magic Shots will look like!Â
Disney’s newest restaurant is officially OPEN!
Menu
EPCOT surprised us with an early opening of Shiki Sai: Sushi Izakaya in the Japan Pavilion on August 15th, and we stopped by to see what this new restaurant is all about. From color-changing drinks to a $300 sushi boat, this spot has a lot of exciting things to offer — but is it the right choice for you and your group? Maybe! But, here are a few reasons why you might want to skip this new dining location.
