Planning a Disney World vacation can be a lot of work.
Welcome to Disney World — where ya staying?
Have you researched how to use Genie+? Did you snag all of your dining reservations? Decided on a hotel for your stay? If you’re still struggling with the last one, we are here to help. There are so many resorts to choose from, and they all have their benefits depending on what you’re looking for on your vacation. But, some hotels are particularly reliable.
There is SO much going on in Disney World right now — it’s hard to keep track of everything!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Splash Mountain is long gone and is becoming Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. New restaurants are being built at Disney’s BoardWalk and Disney Springs. The Moana attraction in EPCOT is coming right along. Now, let’s take a look at Disney’s NEW Disney Vacation Club villas that are coming together at Disney’s Polynesian Resort!
The 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is just around the corner, and we’ve got some important insider tips to help you have an AWESOME festival experience!
2022 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
We LOVE exploring all of the limited-time offerings at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival when it rolls around each year. This year’s festival is set to run from July 27th through November 18th and it will feature exclusive entertainment, new merchandise, and, of course, over 25 delicious Global Marketplace Food Booths. We’ve been trying (literally) EVERYTHING at the festival for years, and during that time we’ve racked up quite a few tips about how to do the festival like a pro.
Puffy pizza, sub-par chicken nuggets, and theme park hot dogs are just a few of the (many) BORING food options available at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. And hey, there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a chicken nugget or two (we’ve done it, too!), but we’re here to tell you that you can do better. If you’re tired of the same old bland, uninteresting snacks in Disney World, we’re here to free you from that bad theme park food.
We’re going to Hollywood!
While some Disney parks have DOZENS of phenomenal food options, like Satu’li Canteen and Flame Tree Barbecue at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, other parks, well, fall short. But fear not! We’ve tried it ALL — the good, the bad, and the weird, and we’re here to help you find the BEST food at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
A highly-anticipated EPCOT event is returning SOON — are you ready? Are you hungry? We sure are! Soon, the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is returning (July 27th, to be exact!), and there are TONS of new menu items coming to EPCOT this year. With all the fun activities, like a scavenger hunt, a live outdoor concert series, and a cheese crawl, there’s plenty to do during the festival.

But today, we’re here to talk about the FOOD. With sooooo many new and returning options, it can be overwhelming to look at all those menus. That’s why we’re here to point out four NEW menu items you need to try. Based on what we know about a few returning EPCOT Food Booths, we already have their new menu items on our radar.
Ever heard the phrase, “Never let them know you’re next move?” Well, Disney certainly seems to take that stance. One moment, we’re enjoying a nice, clear World Showcase Lagoon; the next, there are giant poles sticking up out of the water. Yeah, you might as well give up trying to predict what Disney will do next.
Genie+ is the new FastPass+
Recently, Disney made a pretty big change to its FastPass+ replacement, known as Genie+. Let’s see how the new system is working in early July!
Toy Story Land may have gotten a new restaurant this year, but that doesn’t mean you should skip over the classics!
Toy Story Land
Roundup Rodeo Barbecue is the new family-style table service meal that has larger-than-life theming and serves up barbecue staples. But what if you are looking for something a little more convenient with (almost) as much charm? Woody’s Lunch Box is a quick-service dining location that paved the way for heavily themed restaurants in Toy Story Land. This week, I stopped by for lunch — come see how it went!
Topolino’s Terrace is one of our favorite restaurants at Disney World!

Topolino’s Terrace offers some spectacular views from its rooftop location atop Disney’s Riviera Resort — and it offers some spectacular eats, too.
Well, Disney has dropped a LOT of details about the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival.
Chef Daisy at the 2022 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
We finally have the full menus for every food booth, as well as a first look at some of this year’s new festival merchandise. We even learned about what foods will be part of the cheese crawl this year. But some things were notably MISSING from Disney’s latest announcements.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
