food IS a theme park
Your trip to Disney World is almost here, right?!

Are you all ready? You’ve got your bags packed? Flight and hotel reservations set? You have your plan of action for once you hit the resort and the parks? And maybe the most important, how’s the budget looking? Speaking of the budget, to try and help you stay on track, we thought we’d go over some of the dumbest things people overspend on at Disney World!
As you’re enjoying the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival this year, you can stop by the UK Beer Cart for a festival-only drink!
UK Beer Cart
The UK Beer Cart, located at Rose & Crown, is one of the of the permanent EPCOT locations that also join in on the festival fun with exclusive, limited-time drinks and snacks. Come with us to check out this year’s special item!
As Disney World’s second park and the home of multiple delicious festivals, EPCOT can be pretty popular!
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
We often see heavier crowds here on the weekends as people flock to the park to enjoy yummy cuisine from around the world, or people book trips to check out one of the four annual festivals. With nostalgic vibes, several fun rides, and lots of cultural intrigue, there are plenty of reasons to visit EPCOT. But today, I’m here to share 9 cringey things that made us rethink ever walking into that park again!
The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has kicked off, and we’ve been trying ALL the food, and checking out the entertainment, and just enjoying the whole vibe of festival time.
EPCOT
However, this year’s festival is drastically different from previous years in one way. Over the past several years, the EPCOT Food & Wine festival has started earlier, generally in July, but this year, the festival was pushed back to begin in August (like it was before 2020). You might not think that would have a huge impact on the festival itself, but we’ve noticed a HUGE difference that this one month has made.
Can you believe it’s already September? The first week of September will continue bringing us closures around Disney World, but now we know when a popular spot will reopen!
Blizzard Beach Water Park
Disney recently announced that Blizzard Beach will once again be reopening this winter! It does seem appropriate that a water park named “Blizzard Beach” will be open in the coolest months of the year but don’t worry, you can still have a fun time in the warm water. Find out when Blizzard Beach will officially open along with what other closures will affect Disney World this week below!
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!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World saw an unprecedented week of wait time decreases in the final full week of August. Every ride in the resort – – including Flight of Passage – – saw times decrease. Was this due to summer vacation ending, the new  Lighting Lane Multi Pass system, or something else?Â

Now we love Disney World, all the parks, and the resorts, but let’s be honest, not everything there is all sunshine and rainbows. Talking about that, there’s this trend we’ve been noticing that’s really been curling all our collective stomachs and we wanted to pick your brains to find out how you felt about it! Well, we asked and you delivered!
There is another festival that starts at Disney World this weekend, but it is not at EPCOT.
Raglan Road
While the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival just started, another festival will be happening this weekend at Disney Springs! The Great Irish Hooley will be returning for Labor Day weekend at Ragland Road from August 30th to September 2nd. Of course, we have to talk about this FUN event, so let’s go!
There’s a NEW place to get sweet treats in Disney World!
Swan & Dolphin
What better way to cap off an amazing day in Disney World than with a sweet treat?? We love having snack options available around the Disney World hotels so we don’t have to worry about traveling too far after walking around the parks all day. And now, a NEW dessert spot has popped up at one of our favorite places to stay!
Planning a trip to Disney World can be quite the challenge when it comes to where you’re going to stay.
Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin
