food IS a theme park
One of Disney World’s most iconic rides reopens in ONE WEEK — are you ready?
Peter Pan
It’s not uncommon for Disney World rides to undergo routine maintenance and refurbishment from time to time but when they do, they can really leave a hole in your park plans. If you’ve been planning to ride one of Disney World’s classic attractions soon, you’ll only have to hold out a few days longer for its reopening!
It’s been a MASSIVE weekend, friends!
Overview of Pueblo Esperanza coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom
At D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event this past weekend, we got to see tons of new merchandise (lots of which has hit the online Disney Store already), see loads of Disney Imagineers and icons, and of course, we heard TONS of HUGE news about what’s coming to Disney parks in the next few years. In case you missed it, here are the SEVEN (!!!) new rides coming to Disney World!
If your ideal meal consists of hot dogs, mac and cheese, and a milkshake Disney World has the PERFECT restaurant to meet your needs.
Our meal at Dockside Diner
We’ve dined at this cozy quick-service restaurant found in Disney’s Hollywood Studios before, but it warranted an updated visit. So, we decided it was time to stroll by the lake, sit down for a spell, and see if this restaurant’s food had changed much since we last dined here. [Read more…]
There are a lot of abandoned attractions and buildings across Disney World, and some are hidden in plain sight.
The Wonders of Life Pavilion
EPCOT is home to the abandoned Wonders of Life Pavilion, and now behind Hollywood Studios lies the abandoned Star Wars hotel, The Galactic Starcruiser. And who can forget about the abandoned NBA Experience sitting in Disney Springs. We recently were curious about an abandoned attraction that Disney tried to hide with a different kind of version of Go-Away-Green over at Animal Kingdom.Â
Disney World isn’t just chicken nuggets and cheeseburgers, but you probably already knew that. These days, you can get a thick, juicy steak at Le Cellier, a handmade pizza at Via Napoli, or an authentic meal at Takumi-Tei.Â
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
The possibilities are practically endless! If you’re willing to splurge, you can get some really good food at Disney World. In fact, there’s one signature dining restaurant that offers a unique experience — and it’s hiding in EPCOT’s Japan Pavilion! Any guesses?
It’s official! One of our favorite EPCOT festivals, the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is returning SOON, and we’re already making our list of everything we want to eat and drink now that we have the full list of food booths and menus.
2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Passport
Of course, there’s so much MORE to the festival than just food and drinks, including the Eat to the Beat concert series, which is also always a LOT of fun. This year’s festival is starting a little later than usual (although it’s in line with the festival pre-2020) and begins on August 29th and runs through November 23rd. However, as we get closer to the festival’s first day, we’re getting kinda’ concerned about some particular things.
A lot is going on in Magic Kingdom right now.
Magic Kingdom
We’re not even talking about all the BIG announcements Disney just made about a new Cars land and Villains land coming to the park. We’re not even talking about the recent reopening of Country Bear Jamboree with a brand new show. Nope, we’re talking about another new ride in the park that could be a lot easier to ride soon enough — and we’re going to tell you why.
Disney’s latest Annual Passholder exclusive is WILD.Â
Timon and Pumbaa
There are plenty of pieces of merchandise reserved for Walt Disney World Annual Passholders, but perhaps none more popular than the magnets. These exclusives featuring Disney characters and color schemes have become very polar as decorative status symbols among many AP holders. We just got our hands on the newest one at Animal Kingdom.Â
The fall and Halloween season is a WONDERFUL time to visit Disney World.
Mickey pumpkin wreath in Magic Kingdom
This time of the year brings some of the BEST snacks to Disney World, and ALL the pumpkin and apple flavors (and WE LOVE IT). It also brings Halloween decorations to Magic Kingdom, as well as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Even the weather starts getting a little less oppressive once fall rolls around. However, there’s one thing coming this fall that you’ll want to be aware of — and it’s why you’ll want to be in Magic Kingdom on August 29th.
Well, here we are again.
SO MUCH FOOD
To the surprise of NO ONE, the DFB team has eaten MORE food at Disney World this year that we NEED to share with you RIGHT NOW (so you don’t miss a potential new favorite during your 2024 vacation)!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
