food IS a theme park
It’s hard to believe Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration is over.
50th Celebration Cupcake
We spent 18 months enjoying all the fun decor, merchandise, and more during the festivities. However, we MOSTLY enjoyed all the great snacks, but now that the celebration is over, menus at Disney World restaurants have changed.
Genie+ can be a necessity in Disney World sometimes — but when?
Lightning Lane at Kali River Rapids
You could rope drop, take advantage of Early Entry and Extended Evening Hours, or even hop on your favorite ride while everyone else is watching parades and fireworks, but sometimes ponying up the extra dough to skip the line can be worth it. If you’re heading to Disney World soon, here’s when you might still need Genie+.
Okay, we KNOW y’all love your popcorn buckets, and Disney World is constantly releasing fun new ones.
Popcorn Cart
We will never forget how NUTS everyone went over the Figment Popcorn Bucket. We just recently discovered a new 100th anniversary popcorn bucket. Also, how gorgeous was that Rainbow Mickey Balloon Popcorn Bucket? But one popcorn bucket at Disney World is JUST for select visitors — and Disney World has extended just how long you can get it.
Get ready to step into The Twilight Zone.
Tower of Terror
If you’ve been to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you’re probably familiar with the Tower of Terror ride that literally TOWERS over the park. Maybe you’ve been brave enough to check into its Hollywood Tower Hotel and take that plunging elevator ride into the fifth dimension. But did you know you can also enter the fifth dimension via a new…drink?
One of the most classic restaurants in Disney World has CHANGED.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
California Grill is located at the top of Disney’s Contemporary Resort. This high-end restaurant is known for great food and even better views. Before Disney World began celebrating its 50th anniversary back in October 2021, the Grill had an a la carte menu. Once the big anniversary event began, that menu was swapped out for a special prix fixe menu to celebrate the occasion. But now that the 50th anniversary is officially over, the menu has changed once more. Come with us to see what it’s like now! [Read more…]
Narcoossee’s is FINALLY open again in Disney World!
Narcoossee’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
This restaurant at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa closed back in the summer of 2022 for a major refurbishment. Now, almost a year later, it has finally reopened, and we’re going inside to check out the updated space and brand-new menu. [Read more…]
There’s a LOT going on in Disney World this week! A restaurant has reopened, another one saw some major menu changes, TWO fireworks shows are ending and being replaced, and that’s just before Tuesday.
Magic Kingdom
We keep track of all the changes happening so that you’re prepared before you head out the door for your Disney World trip. Something else you’ll need to know about is what’s going to be CLOSED at the parks while you’re visiting! Here’s a full list of what’s going to be closed in Disney World next week.
Well, the 50th anniversary has officially over in Disney World, making way for more 100th anniversary things throughout the resort.
100th Anniversary merchandise in Disney World
We’ve already seen a lot of 100th anniversary merchandise at Disney World, you can now get popcorn in a 100th anniversary container, and 100th anniversary pressed pennies can be found throughout the parks. Now, though, a resort-specific souvenir has arrived dedicated to 100 years of wonder.
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary may be over, but Disney’s 100th Anniversary is quickly taking its place!
Mickey’s of Hollywood 100th Anniversary merchandise
While we were walking around Hollywood Studios today, we noticed some new balloons. When we looked even closer, we noticed that they were new 100th Anniversary balloons!
Disney World is making some changes, y’all.
Gaston’s Tavern
The 50th anniversary JUST ended, but EVERYTHING seems different now. Park maps have changed, a store got a huge update, and Magician Mickey has made a big comeback. Something else has ALSO made a comeback and we’re checking it out!
