food IS a theme park
There are a LOT of good Disney World tips out there that are common knowledge by this point — like how you need to stay hydrated, wear comfy shoes, and get plenty of rest each night before jumpstarting another day.
Magic Kingdom
ALL great tips, absolutely. But then there are the underground tips… the ones that are either brand-spanking new, OR the ones not even DISNEY really wants you to know about.
It’s been a VERY exciting week in Disney World when it comes to food.
Sushi
A brand new restaurant surprised us and opened early in EPCOT (and we ate a $300 sushi boat with ZERO regrets). The way you book dining on the Disney World website and My Disney Experience app has changed (and we think, it’s for the better). More EPCOT Food and Wine food booths opened, too! PLUS we saw some updates on Disney World restaurant menus, so let’s talk about those.
Okay, we are about to take you to the SKETCHIEST neighborhood in all of Disney World.
Germany’s Train Village
Seriously, this is a place that is notoriously strange, where its denizens get up to who-knows-what kind of shenanigans. No, this isn’t the Wild West of Frontierland in Magic Kingdom. Nope, we’re taking you to the shadiest little town in Disney World, which just happens to be in EPCOT. Yep, we’re going back to Train Town.
EPCOT is undergoing a MASSIVE transformation, and more updates could be on the way.
EPCOT
We’re constantly searching through the latest permits that have been filed related to construction work happening at Disney World. We’ve seen permits suggesting upcoming work at EPCOT and Magic Kingdom attractions, potential updates for an EPCOT restaurant, and more. But now we’ve got some new ones to share!
The time has come: we’re back to commend, critique, and categorize ALL the fast food restaurants in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Are you ready?
Hollywood Studios
Admittedly, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is not typically one of the four Disney World parks we go to if we’re looking for a good quick-service meal. Instead, you may find us at Disney’s Animal Kingdom or EPCOT if we’re in a food mood. But there are some days we need a quick bite to eat while in Hollywood Studios, so come with us to rank every fast food restaurant in the park from BEST to WORST.
There’s one question we get ALL the time when it comes to Disney World.
Parking at Disney World is going to be better soon
No, it’s not where to eat (although we do get that because, hey, we are Disney FOOD Blog). It’s not even a question about how to visit Disney World on a budget (although we get asked that a lot, too). No, one of the biggest questions we’ve been asked recently about Disney World is: “When will parking trams return to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios?” Well, y’all, brace yourselves because WE FINALLY HAVE AN ANSWER.
You better adjust those Disney souvenir budgets — things could be getting MORE expensive soon! 😫
Main Street Cinema
There are a few different reasons why your 2024 Disney World trip could be much more expensive than you might have previously thought. Sneaky ticket price increases, continued price increases at Disney World’s restaurants, and even the return of the Disney Dining Plan could totally mess up the budget you might have had planned in your head. And on top of all of that, Disney merchandise could be more EXPENSIVE in 2024 too — here’s why.
Did you know you can dine with CELEBRITIES in Disney World? Well…sort of!
Let’s go to Chef Mickey’s!
Cause let’s be honest here — Mickey and Minnie Mouse are definitely celebrities. They’re famous all over the world! And all around Disney World, there are plenty of character meals where you can meet the main mice along with all of their friends. Recently, I went to check out one of the most well-known options, and I have some spicy thoughts to share!
Meeting characters in Disney World is ALL part of the fun.
We LOVE meeting characters in Disney World
Who doesn’t want to get a photo with Mickey and Minnie, after all? Who wouldn’t want to get a little goofy WITH Goofy? Who hasn’t wanted to have a chat with a Disney princess at one time or another? Sometimes, though, some of our favorite characters leave the parks, and today, we found out that a fun character has disappeared.Â
Have you thought about what you need to pack for a Disney World trip? I mean, really thought about it?
Welcome to Disney World!
The list can get pretty long when you’re thinking about all the travel essentials you’ll need. And, as you know, there are plenty of opportunities to forget those most important things. That really got us thinking. So, we wanted to find out what your thoughts were about something you missed having at Disney World. We asked and boy did you deliver!
