food IS a theme park
If Kona Cafe is your favorite restaurant in ALL of Disney World, we’ve got incredible news!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Kona Cafe closed at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort back in August with no set reopening date in sight. Recently, we noticed that the Disney World website was showing available times for Kona Cafe starting November 1st, though that reopening date had not officially been announced. Now we’ve got an update!
When you think of Disney collectibles, you probably think of mugs, pins, Loungefly backpacks, and Minnie ears. But some of the most popular souvenirs lately have actually been Starbucks cups!
Starbucks in Disney World!
We’ve seen some Starbucks tumblers themed after the Disney World and Disneyland parks, some 50th anniversary designs, and even some Star Wars-themed options. Now, there’s a NEW Starbucks cup in Disney World, and we’re willing to bet that this one will be flying off the shelves. [Read more…]
When we say “tacos in Disney World,” we’re willing to bet that most people think of the same place — the Mexico pavilion in EPCOT’s World Showcase! It’s true that you can find some amazing tacos over there, but we’re looking in a DIFFERENT spot for today’s lunch.
EPCOT
Should you venture off the beaten path or stick to what you know when it comes to tacos in EPCOT? We’re about to find out — come along with us to try NEW fish tacos at Sunshine Seasons.
Who’s ready to check out some more pumpkin treats in Disney World?!
Halloween in Disney!
Pumpkin treats are all over the Disney Parks and resorts to celebrate Halloween this month. We’ve seen pumpkin-spiced beignets return to Disneyland and a boozy pumpkin ice cream float and pumpkin cold brew arrive in Disney Springs, among many other treats. If you’re a milkshake lover, you’re going to want to check out this NEW milkshake over at a Disney World hotel!
Counting down to a Disney World trip? There are a few important things you’ll need to do ahead of time!
Magic Kingdom
You’ll want to book your dining reservations and make your Disney Park Passes. It’s a great idea to download the My Disney Experience app and familiarize yourself before you travel. But if you’re one of the people who also like to buy new MagicBands for your vacation…we’ve got great news!
If you’re looking for a cupcake in Disney World, Sprinkles in Disney Springs should definitely be a stop on your list!
Sprinkles Disney Springs
Sprinkles is home to handcrafted cupcakes, ice cream, homemade cookies, and more, and it even has a Cupcake ATM outside! Sprinkles is also known for limited-time seasonal cupcake flavors, and now that it’s October there are some NEW flavors you might want to try!
EPCOT’s 40th anniversary was on October 1st, but the celebrations aren’t over yet!
EPCOT just turned 40!
We saw a bunch of fun food in EPCOT, as well as a special show and more for the celebration. We’ve also seen a lot of new merchandise for the occasion, which created a HUGE line over the weekend of people trying to snag some exclusive items. But, some of the items weren’t available in time for the anniversary, and are just now being put on the shelves. And, one of these items you have to see to believe!
Let’s walk around Disney Springs, shall we?
Disney Springs
It’s October, and you know what that means — HALLOWEEN! So naturally, Halloween has exploded all over Disney Springs. There’s new spooOOooky merchandise and treats sprinkled throughout the area. So, without further delay, let’s take a look at what’s new at Disney Springs!
Did you know that the Disney World parks can be DANGEROUS?
Animal Kingdom
We’re not talking about physical danger here (although you may want to pack some moleskin in your parks bag — the amount of walking required is no joke). No, the danger here is mostly for our WALLETS. Disney World is consistently coming out with new merchandise, and it gets really hard to resist some of the souvenirs we spot. Come along with us to check out a bunch of new items at Disney’s Animal Kingdom — but don’t say we didn’t warn you! [Read more…]
Disney World Resort hotels have been getting quite the makeover recently!
One of the Grand Floridian’s NEW villas
Disney’s Contemporary Resort rooms were rethemed to Pixar’s The Incredibles, Disney’s Polynesian Resort upgraded their rooms to Moana (and we can’t forget to mention their current villa expansion that’s underway), and Disney’s Grand Floridian recently opened their new Disney Vacation Club villas. Seriously — these hotels are getting some TLC. And it looks like they’re not alone, as another Disney World Resort hotel is about to get rethemed too!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
