food IS a theme park
Things are changing all over Disney World and MORE updates are on the way.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
We already know that a NEW Figment meet-and-greet is coming to EPCOT this year, plus Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open in late 2024, and new restaurants are on their way too. But now we’ve got clues about some other things that could change soon!
EPCOT has seen a LOT of change over the past few years as it undergoes a massive transformation. If you’ve visited EPCOT recently, you might have noticed that construction walls seem to be almost everywhere at the front of the park. That’s because there’s still work to be completed.
A LOT is happening at EPCOT right now
Not only is a new Moana-themed attraction coming to that part of the park, but the World Celebration area is getting a HUGE overhaul with new structures and a statue of Walt Disney. So let’s see how construction is coming along on all that.
It’s summer, and you know what that means — it’s ice cream season! Okay, well, it’s ALWAYS ice cream season to us, but this is the best time of year to eat cold treats, right?
Mmmm…ice cream
This is the time of year we’re craving things like Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars, Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches, and Milkshakes. But a NEW milkshake has entered the ring at Disney World, and we think this one could end up reigning supreme!
Are you trying to find a no-fuss and quick meal in EPCOT?

We know there are so many options when it comes to food at EPCOT especially during their frequent festivals. That can feel pretty overwhelming, so we thought we’d skip the festival booths and instead check out a restaurant that’s available year-round. We’re checking out the Lotus Blossom Café in EPCOT’s China Pavilion to try their food and give you a full review!
Well, it’s time to talk about Disney World restaurants again (okay, so we won’t lie — it’s one of our favorite topics!).
New ‘Elemental’ floats arrived this week!
So we’ll do our best to keep you updated on all the newest treats in Disney World (as well as get you reviews of those treats). We’ll also share when we can get a great meal for LESS in Disney World. We’ll even revisit restaurants to check out new foods on the menu and get you reviews of those items. We’ll also keep you updated on all the menu CHANGES we see every week, so let’s look at this week’s updates.
Disney Genie+ has been around for a while now, and we’ve gotten to know the ins and the outs.
Genie+
But, this skip-the-line service is changing in 2024 — we just don’t exactly know how yet. Disney has shared that updates will be coming to Genie+ next year, and we’re sharing everything we know so far about what might change.
We’ve been getting excited about the holiday season in Disney World EARLY this year.
Hollywood Studios during the holidays
We are SO ready to eat all the holiday snacks and to go to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom. But this year, a NEW party will be happening at Disney’s Hollywood Studios called Jollywood Nights. That party will feature some pretty EPIC things (including the MUPPETS). Select Jollywood Nights partygoers, though, will get an extra perk.
What if I told you there was a way you could ACTUALLY pull off a relaxing vacation inside the Disney World bubble — all thanks to a classic resort? Would you believe me?
Old Key West
Headed to Disney World soon? Before you go, you’ll want to know what’s going to be CLOSED when you get there.
Cinderella Castle
Disney World will periodically shut down rides, restaurants, and attractions to update them, so you may see some closures during your upcoming vacation. We’ve got a full list of next week’s planned closures so that you’re prepared before your trip!
It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for — wait times are starting to go DOWN in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
Crowds have been a little all over the place this year in the parks and Disney has announced that they expect demand to go down. Since then, we’ve seen several new discounts urging people to book a Disney World vacation. BUT if you are in the parks or going soon, we’ve got some good news from this week — the most popular rides are seeing a decrease in wait times!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
