food IS a theme park
All day we’ve been shouting a huge Happy 40th Anniversary to EPCOT!
Happy 40th, EPCOT!
We’ve been taking you along with us as we checked out the commemorative guide map we got, saw all the merchandise available (and the LONG lines for it), and we made sure we had the perfect spot to see the big finale tonight. Tonight, EPCOT lit up in a new way during the Beacons of Magic show, and we were front and center for it!
A seriously underrated Disney vacation tip is to take a full day to explore the Disney World hotels. This is one of our favorite things to do — especially because these hotels have so many great restaurants and snack spots.
Disney’s Grand Floridian
Just like the theme parks, the hotels in Disney World are consistently changing. We spot new treats, merchandise, and construction projects all the time. So come along with us as we explore the hotels along Magic Kingdom’s Monorail line to find out what’s new. [Read more…]
It’s a new month, and that means new treats at Gideon’s Bakehouse!
Gideon’s Bakehouse
Every month, Gideon’s Bakehouse releases new or returning treats for guests to line up around the block to grab. October is also Gideon’s birthday month, so get ready for tons of exciting offerings all throughout the month. No matter what day you go during October though, you can enjoy multiple October offerings!
THIS is Halloween, and by THIS (imagine us gesturing wildly), we mean all the Halloween decorations at Magic Kingdom, all the Halloween merchandise, and all the Halloween snacks!
Polynesian Village Resort
With snacks being something that we do (hello, FOOD is our middle name), we’re trying out ALL the new Halloween snacks in Disney World. So let’s head on over to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to see what kind of spooky new offerings we can find there!
Hello from EPCOT’s 40th anniversary celebrations!
Creations Shop
We’ve been in the park all day bringing you live updates about what’s happening in the parks — that includes crowds, merchandise, a commemorative map, and special treats. But now, there’s another part of the celebration that you’ll miss if you don’t pay attention!
Happy 40th birthday, EPCOT! Time to make a wish and blow out the candles! What did you wish for? A bunch of 40th Celebration treats? Well, what a coinkidink!Â
Flower and Garden
Nothing says celebration quite like cake!! EPCOT has a doozy of a celebration, and Disney is not holding back with new snacks like the Figment Sponge Cake. Lots of the treats are a pure kaleidoscope of colors, and the Celebration Funnel at Funnel Cake Stand is a pure cacophony of color and sugar (like every celebration should be!).
If you haven’t had a Lunch Box Tart at Woody’s Lunch Box…have you even really been to Disney’s Hollywood Studios?
Woody’s Lunch Box
We’re big fans of this iconic treat, which we’ve seen in several different flavors. They pretty much look exactly like pop tarts, but they taste so much better in our opinion. We recently had a 4th of July-themed one, which was filled with cherries. But now it’s spooky season so we’re ready to try out a fall-flavored tart! [Read more…]
40 never looked so good, EPCOT!

If your Disney travel partners argue over whether to start World Showcase in Mexico or in Canada — well, this limited-time 40th celebration item is here to settle that debate!
WOW! It’s the 40th Anniversary of EPCOT.Â
FIGMENT!
To celebrate the big occasion, Disney has released merchandise and some themed treats and drinks like the Figment Sponge Cake. Lots of the treats are super colorful, and the Sake Cocktail Flight at Garden House is no exception.
It’s been a difficult week in Florida with Hurricane Ian (later downgraded to Tropical Storm Ian)Â wreaking havoc statewide.
Hurricane skies in Disney World
Disney World closed for two days on September 28th and 29th, leaving many visitors with plans this weekend and next week feeling uncertain. Disney reopened on September 30th and resumed letting guests check into hotels as of 3PM, we’re taking a look at next week’s Park Pass Reservations, which are required for entering a Disney Park.
