food IS a theme park
We just got news that Disney World will be getting eight new rides!
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event
These new attractions are spread across the Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. While EPCOT is not getting any new attractions, Test Track 3.0 will open in 2025, and there will be a brand new Spaceship Earth Lounge! As for the new rides, we are a little worried that two of them will fall victim to the theme park ride screen epidemic.Â
Seafood lovers, listen up!
Coastal Eats
We’re checking out a Marketplace Food Booth made just for you at the 2024 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival. We’re at Coastal Eats, and while you’ll find a few more seafood bites around the Festival (like the Grilled Bushberry Spiced Shrimp Skewer at the Australia Booth and the Tostada de Camarones with tempura battered shrimp at the Mexico Booth), Coastal Eats is the only booth entirely dedicated to seafood, and we’re here to bring you our complete review.
Aaah, Magic Kingdom… Home to whimsical spinning teacups and soaring elephants, 999 Happy Haunts, and a Fairytale Hall full of Disney Princesses. It’s where you can end your day inspired to find your very own “Happily Ever After,” and look forward to “A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow.” From Fantasyland to Adventureland to Tomorrowland and beyond, it’s a place where dreams come true! But WAIT…
Cinderella Castle in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
Do you feel it? A sense of foreboding? Perhaps the presence of something evil lurking this way… If so, that might just be because Disney Villains are coming to Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in a BIG WAY! Disney has officially announced that Magic Kingdom is expanding the theme park with a brand new Villains Land. And if you are one of the MANY fans who is already gearing up to channel your inner baddie in this new area, you are likely wondering WHEN this new addition is opening in Walt Disney World’s original park.
We came. We saw. We conquered. Yes, we survived the first day of the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, but our tummies are TIRED.
In case you missed it, we spent an entire day in EPCOT enjoying all the festival has to eat and drink. We also checked out some festival entertainment and spent a lot of time writing reviews of every single food booth at the festival (and that was A LOT). However, did you know that some of the festival foods are eligible for the Disney Dining Plan? Yes, you can use snack credits from the Disney Dining Plan on many festival eats. However, we’re going to tell you which foods will give you the most bang for your Disney Dining Plan buck.
TikTok is all the rage right now, except we are not talking about the app…
Captain Hook’s Ship
Instead, we are talking about Tick Tock, the crocodile from Peter Pan! Peter Pan’s Flight just re-opened in Disney World, and if you are a fan of Peter Pan like we are, then you should check out DFB’s brand new merchandise line inspired by Croc himself, Tick Tock!
Alright. We’re gonna say it. Jack Skellington? He’s a little spooky! Although he makes a great Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party host, there’s something about his tall, looming presence that sends a shiver down our spine. Anyone else?!
Jack and Sally
Well, Jack is BACK at the 2024 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year, and this year, he brought a SCARY addition to the Magic Kingdom! Wait until you see the new souvenir EVERYONE is talking about online right now.
Disney World has recently added a new hotel perk to some resorts.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
If you have stayed at a Disney World hotel within the last year or so, you may have noticed a Mickey Mouse touchscreen device on the nightstand. This is called “Hey, Disney!” and it acts as your personal assistant to help make your stay even easier! “Hey, Disney!” was created by Amazon and uses the same technology that Alexa uses, but it is Disney-fied.
Let’s face it — when you’re in Disney World you’re surrounded by tons of snacks seemingly everywhere you turn. But while Disney’s busy churning out some funky, cute, and downright bizarre snacks where do you turn when you’re just looking for something familiar that stands the test of time?
Funnel Cakes!!
Luckily you’ve come to just the right Disney World food experts! It’s true we’ve tried it all, and when we’re really looking for something that we can count on, there’s one place that comes to mind first!
Are you a “rope drop” kind of Disney fan or a “stay late” kind of Disney fan?
Cinderella Castle at night
If you’re a night owl, there are plenty of ways to spend time in the parks after hours. From holiday parties to Extended Evening Hours — but one of our favorite ways to get our late night on is at After Hours events! They’re returning in 2025 and Magic Kingdom is promising something special!
