food IS a theme park
There’s one EPCOT restaurant that’s surprisingly hard to get into…and it’s not even a signature dining experience!
Via Napoli
Yep, we’re talking about Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria in the Italy Pavilion. If you’ve ever tried to dine here, you know that reservations go FAST. But there’s a very good reason why — because people usually RAVE about the food, especially the pizza! So today, we’re sharing the two best things you can order at Via Napoli.
Disney World is taking “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” and kicking it up by a few notches…
Hollywood Studios
…thanks to ALL the new and returning offerings that you’re SO not gonna want to miss out on!
Let’s be honest — Disney World is EXPENSIVE.
TTC Monorail
The hotels are expensive — so are the park tickets themselves — and that doesn’t even count any souvenirs you plan to get. So what is actually worth buying at Disney World? We’ve got a whole list!
Quite a few things are getting UPDATES in Disney World right now!
Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn is getting refurbished from top to bottom, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting a new DVC tower, and Splash Mountain was closed at the beginning of this year to become Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom. But soon, one refurbished restaurant will be reopening!
There are few things in this world we love more than Disney — but our furry family members are definitely on the list.
BOOP
And, even though we may never get to actually bring our pets into the parks, that doesn’t mean we can’t bring home some seriously stellar souvenirs for them. Listen, we may have spent a little more than we had planned on Fido on our last trip, but can you blame us with this stuff?!
Y’all, if you love to eat and love feeling like you’re on a wilderness expedition while doing so, then we have great news for you.
Fort Wilderness
In January of 2023, Disney announced that Trail’s End Restaurant at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground would close for refurbishment. In the past, the restaurant served family-style skillets for breakfast and dinner, and was a fan-favorite choice for many Disney World visitors. Trail’s End has been closed since February, but not for much longer! [Read more…]
Trail’s End has been undergoing a pretty lengthy refurbishment as of late.
Trail’s End Restaurant
In the past, this spot has been a table service restaurant at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds. However, it had previously been announced that a refurbishment meant this spot would be getting some pretty big changes soon. Now we’ve got some more details on what these changes are!
We’ve done EVERY SINGLE ride in Disney World. And we know the best tips and secrets for all of them!
Magic Kingdom
Besides doing every ride, we’ve used Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes dozens of times in the parks, which means that we have quite a bit of experience with handling those systems. That’s why, today, we’re here to tell you about the BEST Individual Lightning Lane in Disney World…and we’ve got proof.
Okay, hear us out. Family vacations in Disney World can be amazing, but they can also be…a lot.
Main Street, U.S.A.
First, you’ve gotta make sure everyone has packed everything they need, then keep in mind everyone’s top “must do” items so no one gets upset, and be ready to roll with the punches because who knows what twists the parks might throw at you. Family vacations mean you get to see everyone’s different vacation styles, and sometimes those different styles are…less than compatible.
Besides the wait times, park hours, and park maps, Mobile Order is one of the most useful features of the My Disney Experience app!
Mobile Order sign in EPCOT
Using the system in Disney World will often help you get your meals faster than if you waited in line, and it makes it easier to order when you can see the whole menu right there on your phone. A while back, Disney updated the Mobile Order system in the app to make it a bit easier to use, and when they did, they made a change that you probably didn’t know about!
