food IS a theme park
We know a thing or two about dining at Disney World!
California Grill
Not only have we dined at every restaurant at Disney World, but we have even stayed at every hotel in Disney World. We have ranked hotels and restaurants, but then we thought, “What if we ranked Disney World hotels just based on their restaurants instead?” So that is precisely what we are going to do!
Sometimes you just want a classic steakhouse meal with a classic steakhouse experience.
Yachtsman Steakhouse
The thing is, there are several steakhouses in Disney World, but the ones most people think about are places like Le Cellier in the Canada Pavilion in EPCOT and Steakhouse 71 at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. However, one of the most overlooked steakhouses is probably Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, just steps away from EPCOT via International Gateway. We just revisited Yachtsman Steakhouse to see if it’s as good as we remember, and we’re taking you along for the ride!
It can be really hard not to stay at a hotel on property when you go to Disney World, right?
Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter
With the accessibility to the parks and Disney Springs, all the immersion, and the food, you’ve really got it made when you’re thinking about staying in a Disney World hotel at any level — value, moderate, or deluxe. Now when it comes to Disney World and the hotels specifically, we all love a good hack that can make things easier for us or elevate our experiences. That got us thinking about some of the hacks that we’re not using, so we reached out to you to get your thoughts on the matter. Well, we asked and you delivered!
Aren’t you stoked that the 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is here?! (I know we sure are!)
EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
But even in all the excitement over all the food booths, the merch, and more, there has been this HUGE change at the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival has ultimately been an utter disappointment and we’ve gotta talk about it!
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
Grab a snack and let’s talk wait times.
Disney World saw something VERY RARE this week. Flight of Passage did NOT have the highest average wait time at the resort, that title instead went to Slinky Dog Dash. Meanwhile, Jungle Cruise closed for refurbishment and the Lighting Lane Multi Pass continued to impact the resort.
Sometimes you just can’t let a good thing pass you by, and word on the street is that Siesta’s Cantina just added 3 new amazing menu items to their lineup and we couldn’t wait another second to get out to try them!
New eats at Siesta’s Cantina
We’re suckers for great food found at hidden restaurants, lounges, and places you wouldn’t particularly have to come to mind when you think of the best Disney World food, but this little quick-service restaurant and pool bar is breaking all the barriers!
Disney just announced a brand-new villains show coming to Hollywood Studios!

This new show will be replacing Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy in the Sunset Showcase building along Sunset Boulevard. While we’re excited for this new villains-themed show, it’s not the only new show coming to Hollywood Studios. A while back Disney announced a new The Little Mermaid show replacing the old Voyage of the Little Mermaid show in Animation Courtyard. It’s been years since this old show closed, and months since we’ve heard any news about the new one. So, we’re starting to wonder when will this new show finally open?
Yes, we’re still enjoying the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and we will be enjoying it through November 23rd.
Tiki Torch drink from Disney’s Coronado Springs
We even recently discovered a SECRET drink that’s VERY exclusive (and it’s DELICIOUS) at the festival. We also got more details about Disney World’s OTHER food and wine festival, the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic. We’ve also been keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus because they are ALWAYS changing, so let’s take a look at the menu changes we found this week.
Sometimes we let our excitement get the best of us when planning our Disney trip!
Fireworks in Magic Kingdom
One of our favorite things about Disney World is just how much there is to do and see! But with all of the new experiences, fancy places, and fun events that are constantly catching our eye, we have to admit that our impulsive side sometimes gets us in a pickle. But the good news is, hopefully, you can learn from our mistakes!
Disney World is constantly changing, and there are so many exciting new projects on the horizon!
Disney World
Sometimes, attractions, rides, shops, and restaurants close to make way for new offerings, or they end up sitting abandoned. So much has happened this year at Disney World. We found out that eight new attractions will be making their way to Disney World over the next few years and also found out that certain areas, like Tom Sawyer Island, will close to make way for some of these new additions to the park. While we are still waiting for confirmation on when other areas of the parks will close, we have a list of 11 things that we permanently lost at Disney World this year.
