food IS a theme park
When it comes to planning a trip in Disney World, there are many factors you need to consider!

Not only do you have to figure out dates that work for you and your group’s schedule, but then you have to buy tickets, make Park Pass Reservations, decide if you want Genie+, book a hotel, and create dining reservations. On top of all that, there are some things that will be different at Disney World in February. Let’s jump in and see what changes are hitting the resort!
EPCOT’s first festival of 2023 has begun with brand new food booths, lots of new dishes, and – of course – art!
General Tso’s Chicken Shumai
Festival of the Arts is here and we’re bringing you the ultimate list of what you must try and how to score this year’s exclusive Figment popcorn bucket.
We try to always stress the importance of planning ahead for your Disney World trip!
Cinderella Castle
Things can change from day to day in the parks — whether that means a restaurant is closed, an attraction is under refurbishment or temporarily down, or something else entirely. Planning ahead can mean you’re prepared for any unforeseen circumstances in Disney World. And if you’re heading to Magic Kingdom later this month, there’s something important you need to know.
Gideon’s Bakehouse is celebrating a birthday and we’re all invited!
Gideon’s Bakehouse
It’s hard to believe this popular Disney Springs spot has only been open for two years. It feels like such a fixture at this point, and we look forward to their new releases.
Did you know you can actually live in Disney World?
Tower of Terror
It’s true — Disney’s Golden Oak neighborhood is home to some seriously stunning houses with some seriously shocking price tags. Several of these homes are full of Disney theming — some subtle, and some not-no-subtle. We spotted a Golden Oak home for sale a while back that featured a haunting nod to Disney World — and it just sold at the highest price for an Orlando home so far in 2023!
It’s been a great week in Disney World — for FOOD! That’s because the EPCOT Festival of the Arts has started, and we made our way around the festival trying out EVERYTHING.

We also grabbed the new Pistachio drink at Starbucks and noticed that Spice Road Table in EPCOT’s Morocco Pavilion is now accepting advance dining reservations. We also kept an eye out for menu changes at Disney World restaurants, so let’s take a look at those!
If you’re as big a fan of Dole Whip as we are, then you’re going to love this news!
Swirls on the Water
Swirls on the Water is a Dole Whip spot in Disney Springs that we love to peek at and see if we can find any new offerings when we stop by. We were excited to find a new Dole Whip Flight that we had to try out!
There are lots of discounts that are hiding around Disney World.
Space 220
We’ve got a whole page dedicated to Disney discounts and deals we find and make sure to keep it updated as we find more. You should always check out potential discounts before you plan your vacation, and there are even some discounts for certain restaurants you may dine in. If you’re planning to dine at Space 220 on your next trip, don’t miss this simple way to save some money!
We got some BIG news from Disney this week.
2023 EPCOT Festival of the Arts
Not only are Happily Ever After and EPCOT Forever returning, but we have an official TRON Lightcycle / Run opening date too! The EPCOT Festival of the Arts has just kicked off and you know we’re there to cover it all! There’s been some progress over at the various construction projects happening around Disney World, too — so let’s check them out!
The one thing you can count on at Disney World is change — things are constantly changing, evolving, growing, being updated, or under construction at some point.
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
Right now, EPCOT is still undergoing a HUGE transformation. There’s construction going on over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. The Grand Floridian is getting some work done. There’s even construction happening over at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort — and that construction could affect your lunch plans.
