food IS a theme park
So how do you handle breakfast when you visit Disney World?
Friar’s Nook
Do you have breakfast at your hotel before you hit the parks? Or do you get to the parks and grab something quick while you’re on the go in between rides? There are a lot of breakfast options in Magic Kingdom, including character dining. But there are also some great quick options that you may not know about. One of those quick breakfast options, though, just got WAY better.
We’ve used Mobile Order HUNDREDS of times in Disney World.
Mobile order is a lot more common in Disney World now!
We were using Mobile Order through the My Disney Experience app long before it was made really popular during the pandemic era, and over the years, we’ve learned quite a few tips and tricks. We’ve seen Mobile Order go through many iterations, but today we’re sharing the Mobile Order secrets we learned the HARD way.
The one thing you gotta love about EPCOT is how many unique foods you can find throughout the park.
House of Good Fortune at EPCOT’s China Pavilion
Not only can you get that infamous Pickle Shake at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, but you can also find some interesting snacks in the World Showcase Pavilions. Take potato chips, for example — we’ve tried some very unusual flavors, including Octopus Chips, Fruit-flavored potato chips, and more. Well, now, we’ve discovered Beer Chips, and we HAD to try them — our curiosity got the best of us.

Are you ready for a change? Disney World sure is!
Are you prepared for the changes coming to Disney World?
If you’re planning for your next Disney World trip for 2024, you’ve got to know all the things that are changing from this year to the next (and be prepared because it’s a LONG list). But fear not — we’re here and we’ll guide you through all of the changes coming so that you’re ready to make those travel plans with confidence!
There are a few very important (and specific) rules to follow at Disney World. For example, adults can’t dress up like Disney characters while they’re in the park (but Disney-bounding is OK), and you cannot bring any balloons into Disney’s Animal Kingdom. But sometimes what you can and can’t do in the parks is dictated not by the rules but by temporary CLOSURES!
Magic Kingdom Entrance
Next week, there are six things that you CAN’T do in Disney World, not because they’re against any rules, but just because those attractions and restaurants are temporarily closed. Here’s a complete list of those scheduled refurbishments so that you’re prepared for your upcoming vacation.
Oh, Disney Springs, how we love your many food offerings!
Disney Springs
Seriously, you could eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at totally different spots in Disney Springs multiple days in a row — that’s how much there is to experience! We’ve got our favorites in the district, and one of them is Wine Bar George. If you love this restaurant as much as we do, or you just love scones, don’t miss out on this new offering!
There’s a special holiday coming to Disney World, but we’re not talking about Halloween this time! Instead, we’re preparing to celebrate World Princess Week across the Disney World parks and resorts. So far, we’ve tried some color-changing mousse and even a mermaid-themed milkshake, but now we’re back to celebrate another classic Disney princess.
Hi, Belle!
Although Belle is typically known to hang out in EPCOT and Magic Kingdom, we found a NEW Beauty and the Beast-inspired beverage over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios — right across from the Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage show! So, is this new drink worth a visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios? Let’s find out!
Things are always changing in Disney World, especially in EPCOT.
Japan Pavilion in EPCOT
The park is undergoing a HUGE transformation, which has already brought us a new restaurant AND RIDE and will be bringing a new Moana-themed attraction soon. But World Showcase is also getting some love with a new restaurant coming to the Japan Pavilion. Ahead of that restaurant’s opening, though, the Japan Pavilion just recently got a bit of a makeover.
Is it too early to start saying goodbye to summer crowds?
Magic Kingdom crowds in June 2023
Disney World has experienced some really heavy crowds all through July and with the start of EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival. We would expect those crowds to start winding down as we enter August and back-to-school season starts, but we saw wait times holding pretty steady this week in Disney World.
Are there just some rides in Magic Kingdom that are non-negotiable every time you visit?
Pirates of the Caribbean
We know we prefer a lot of the classic rides. We can’t imagine not riding Jungle Cruise, Space Mountain, or “it’s a small world” (hey, don’t judge us! We LOVE that song). Another classic that we can rely on is Pirates of the Caribbean, except, well, that ride has been particularly UNRELIABLE recently.
