food IS a theme park
Staying caffeinated in Disney World is a must for many of us, but it can get pricey!
How do you like your coffee?
Whether you’re team Joffrey’s or team Starbucks, there are plenty of ways to get your fix around the parks. But if you’re looking to snag a deal on your drink of choice, you might be tempted to head to Starbucks after seeing the new promotion they are running!
UPDATE: When we stopped by on July 31st, the entire back area that had been closed off previously had reopened and construction bushes were no longer blocking the area.
Sometimes, things just happen in Disney World with no explanation.
UK Pavilion in EPCOT
We’ve seen rides suddenly close on occasion (not counting the times when rides close for weather). We’ve seen things go missing from rides. We’ve even seen animatronics replaced by plants. Yes, that really happened. However, recently, we noticed a part of a World Showcase Pavilion in EPCOT was closed. Let’s take a look.
Disney World is expensive as is, but don’t get us started on some of the food prices.
Cinderella Castle
But honestly, some of these prices are worth the money for some people on vacation. For example, if you’re someone who really loves food, some of Disney’s most expensive restaurants may be worth it to you. Since we’re Disney Food Blog, we’ve got a list of 6 restaurants that we’re willing to splurge on in Disney World.
Are you ready?
EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival starts tomorrow, July 27th, 2023! We’re going to be there trying out all of the new food and drinks and bringing you tons of reviews throughout the day. But, a few of this year’s Outdoor Kitchens have a delayed opening, so we’ll have to wait a while before we can try them out. We know that Bubbles & Brine, Char & Chop, Wine & Wedge, and Swirled Showcase will be opening on September 22nd, 2023 in celebration of the Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary. We’ve also had a look at the menus of these booths to come. But, there are still a few details about these booths that we have been waiting on. This week, however, Disney dropped a new clue about where one of these booths might end up — and it involves a mysterious renovation of a former dining location.
When it comes to visiting Disney World, many visitors choose to stay at a Disney World hotel.
Staying at Disney World hotels comes with perks.
Why? Well, many of us like staying in the Disney bubble. If you stay on-property, you also get some special Disney perks, like Early Theme Park Entry (available at all of Disney’s resorts) and Extended Evening Hours (available at deluxe resorts). There’s also the perk of having easy access to Disney transportation. However, there are two NEW Disney World hotel perks that many visitors just aren’t loving.
Exciting new things have been popping up all over Disney Springs lately.
Disney Springs
Vivoli il Gelato is serving Sorbetto inside half of a pineapple (!!), there’s a new spicy Nashville Hot Chicken at Earl of Sandwich, and we even tried TWELVE new eats recently for the Flavors of Florida event happening all around the Springs. Soon, two new restaurants will join the scene — Summer House on the Lake and EET by Maneet Chauhan. But how are the stores doing? Well, it’s complicated.
I have a really good secret about the Disney World Skyliner…and I’m pretty sure it’s not breaking any rules. Like, 97% sure.

Even if it might be toeing the line just a little bit, I’m still gonna tell you about it, ’cause I don’t gate-keep secrets THIS good. [Read more…]

When the sun sets over Cinderella Castle and a cool breeze runs through the air, our ghoulish friends come out to celebrate Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. It’s not every day you get to see those Haunted Mansion ghosts outside the famous attraction, but even ghosts love the Boo to You Halloween parade!

The Cinderella Castle was a paid actress during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
When we say it’s a popular event, we aren’t kidding. As a separately ticketed nighttime event, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has limited availability, and tickets are selling out!
