food IS a theme park
Although summer has been relatively quiet in Disney World, that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been a lot of stuff going on.
The Famous Cobb Salad from Hollywood Brown Derby
We did get to check out the new Caramel Flight from Karamell-Küche in EPCOT, after all. Speaking of EPCOT, a restaurant temporarily closed there, too! We also FINALLY got a look at ALL the menus for the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. Meanwhile, Disney World restaurant menus saw some changes, so let’s see what’s different now!
Sometimes, people just luck out in life. You know the ones. Maybe they received a small loan of a million dollars just to get a head start, or perhaps they were born to inherit a gemstone mine — random, totally hypothetical situations like that.
Magic Kingdom
But sometimes, it isn’t a person that’s born into luck — it’s an animal. And believe us when we tell you that we think we may have found the biggest nepo baby in all of Disney World.
Disney World is always working on SOMETHING — there’s construction EVERYWHERE.
Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter
Splash Mountain is in the middle of being converted into a NEW ride. EPCOT has seen a LOT of construction due to its massive transformation. Even some restaurants are getting worked on right now. Recently, though, we noticed that something was MISSING from a Disney World hotel.
Planning a visit to Disney World soon? There are LOTS of changes happening that might surprise you.
EPCOT
There’s lots of construction happening at the hotels (especially Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa), Splash Mountain is being transformed into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and big menu changes have been hitting some restaurants too. But now we’ve spotted something that could point to future changes at one EPCOT snack spot!
You’ve decided to go to Disney World on vacation, but now you have to figure out how to pay for it!
Time to start filling this puppy with some spare change!
Luckily, we’ve grabbed some great trips for doing Disney World on a budget, but first – you have to get there!
We’ve seen plenty of flashy snacks and newsworthy desserts over the years, but nothing quite compares to an old classic: Dole Whip. It’s simple yet bright, sweet, and refreshing. Yes, this is officially a Dole Whip fan blog now. Kidding — but really, we love to celebrate Dole Whip around here!
Dole Whip
Speaking of Dole Whip, there’s a MAJOR, very important holiday coming up. Is your calendar marked? This occasion calls for the largest of celebrations, so make sure you’ve got your party hats, people.
There are lots of updates coming to the Disney parks in the rest of 2023.
Disney World
We know that Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is coming soon, as well as the Frozen lands over in Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland. But what if you’re visiting a Disney park in 2024, what can you expect then? Here are all the new rides that are confirmed to open in 2024!
The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is upon us and you know what that means — time to EAT!
Food & Wine is almost here!
We’ve already seen the booths popping up around the World Showcase, poured over the menus to find out what we can’t wait to try, and have already figured out which concerts we can’t miss. But, this year, things will be different and we want you to be prepared. That’s why we’re sharing the biggest changes announced for this year’s EPCOT Food & Wine Festival.
Disney World is full of magic, sunshine, and lines.
Genie+
Genie+ was introduced as a way to avoid waiting in long lines for rides at Disney World. We know that depending on the time of year, there are major crowds and wait times can get long. It can be tough to know when you should purchase Genie+ or an Individual Lightning Lane — especially now that the Genie system has changed to have different pricing depending on the park you’re doing to.
If you’re going to Disney World next week, WATCH OUT! Not one, not two, but FOUR restaurants are going to be closed (spoiler: most of them are in EPCOT).
EPCOT
In addition to the restaurant closures, there are a few other rides and attractions that’ll be closed. Here’s a full list of everything you CAN’T do in Disney World next week, from July 16th through the 22nd.
