food IS a theme park
New stuff is coming to Disney World all the time!
Disney Springs
We’re talking about new attractions (TRON Lightcycle / Run opened earlier this year and The Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana opens later this year), new stores, and even NEW restaurants. At Disney Springs, we already knew that Summer House on the Lake (a new restaurant) was in the works, but recently another new dining spot was announced and we’re going to break down EVERYTHING we know about it so far.
If you are expecting the dining scene at Disney World to be the same as it was during your last trip, you’ll be in for some big surprises.

There’s a NEW Loungefly souvenir in Disney World, but this time it’s NOT a mini-backpack!
Settlement Trading Post
We know that most Disney fans associate “Loungefly” with those cute backpacks that you’ll see all over the parks, but did you know that the company also makes Minnie and Mickey ear headbands? We spotted a fun pair of Disney hotel-themed ears recently, and we couldn’t wait to show you. [Read more…]
There are plenty of reasons why you’d want to stay at a Disney World hotel — convenience, theming, and of course, perks!
Hollywood Studios at night
One of our favorites happens to be Extended Evening Hours, which allows folks exclusive time in select parks. Right now, folks can visit EPCOT and Magic Kingdom on select nights, but Disney just announced that Extended Evening Hours are coming back to Hollywood Studios and we’ve got all the details!
Disney Springs is full of some of the best restaurants in Disney World.

Whether you’re looking for a fancy meal or just some good old-fashioned DOLE Whip, you’ll be able to find something to enjoy. And, there’s even more on the way!

Magic Kingdom
If you’re heading to the parks soon, you’ve probably got a hefty to-do list with all the new additions.

Wow! It feels like this year is just flying by!
Magic Kingdom
It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating the 50th anniversary of Disney World, watching Harmonious in EPCOT, and welcoming TRON Lightcycle / Run to Magic Kingdom. Now, we’re over halfway through 2023 and we’re getting closer and closer to the completion of big projects like Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana. With how fast the parks change, it can be hard to keep up — but that’s why we’re here! Let’s take a look at the biggest changes coming to Disney World in August!
