food IS a theme park
You’ve probably heard us mention that your Disney World experience can vary wildly depending on what time of year you visit.
Magic Kingdom
Weekends and holidays tend to be the busiest, and we often see crowds start to dissipate come January and early September. But, it doesn’t look like that’s the case just yet. The crowds are still out in Disney World — and we think we might just know why!
There’s a little something for everyone at Disney Springs, which is why guests should ALWAYS make time to visit the shopping and dining district.
Disney Springs
From unique souvenirs to fun entertainment and more, Disney Springs is a must-do. The area also has some of the best restaurants AT Disney World, but where do the locals go in Disney Springs when they’re hungry? [Read more…]
Believe it or not, the week after the holidays can sometimes be even MORE crowded in Disney World than the peak holiday season. A recent update proves that’s the case this year!
Fantasyland is one of the areas with bottlenecks
Although we saw some pretty big crowds at the parks for Christmas and New Year’s, we’re seeing even more people at Disney World today, January 2nd. And it looks like those crowds are going to get BIGGER soon. [Read more…]
Disney World’s 50th anniversary festivities might be over soon, but we’re not ready to end the celebration just yet!
Disney Enchantment
And apparently, neither is Disney. Last month we got a first look at the soon-to-be-released Disney World 50th Anniversary Grand Finale merchandise collection, and now — this is not a drill — the new merch is arriving at the parks!
Fans of classic Disney attractions cannot miss the new Loungefly bag and Minnie ears that we spotted in Disney World today! And even if you’re not in the parks, you can still get your hands on the latest items.
Loungefly bags
Throughout 2022, Disney released merchandise collections themed to iconic Disney World rides. We’ve seen collections for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Haunted Mansion, and more. Now, the Jungle Cruise collection has arrived at the parks, but you can also purchase the items online at shopDisney! [Read more…]
There are dozens of Disney World restaurants within the parks, Disney Springs, and the Walt Disney World resorts — where do you even begin when making 2023 dining plans?

It’s time to make a CRUCIAL decision: Are you going to Disney World in 2023?
Toy Story Land
There are lots of good reasons to book a Disney World vacation for 2023, but there are also a few major warnings that you need to know about. Let’s find out if this is YOUR year for that epic trip to the most magical place on earth.
It’s a NEW YEAR … a fresh time for setting goals and making plans for 2023. And if your plans include a trip to Disney World, we’re here to help.
New Year’s Eve at EPCOT
Disney World is our favorite place (obviously!), but it is unlike a lot of vacations, because many people would say it does take some planning and preparation in advance to have your best experience (and get the most bang for your buck).
As we visit Disney World every day, we’re always on the lookout for new treats. And in Magic Kingdom, that means we always check for new Seven Dwarfs ice cream cones!
Hi Grumpy!
Way back in November 2021, we spotted a Grumpy cranberry soft serve cone at Storybook Treats in Fantasyland. Then we discovered that each of the Seven Dwarfs would be getting their own soft-serve cone!
There are a ton of great snacks and meals in Disney World, but there are also some eats that you’ll want to AVOID. We’re here to help you sort out which is which!
Look at THAT
We tried a bunch of new food at the parks and hotels in December, along with meals at reopening restaurants and a few seasonal snacks. There was even an entirely new restaurant that opened on December 28th! Now, we’ve got a full list of the BEST and WORST things we ate this month so that you can plan what you want to eat during your upcoming trip. [Read more…]
