food IS a theme park
We always get excited when something new turns up in Disney World.
Disney Springs
Recently, in Disney Springs, we’ve seen new restaurants open up, as well as new stores (although some stores have closed). We recently learned that a new pop-up shop was coming soon, though, and let’s just say the HYPE behind the shop is real. Well, that store has appeared today, and we aren’t the only folks who want to get inside.
As you make your way around the park at Disney’s Hollywood Studios you’ve probably noticed a gigantic dinosaur hanging around Echo Lake. Yeah, she’s kinda hard to miss (especially when she’s dressed in a festive ‘fit). But, what most folks don’t realize is Dinosaur Gertie is more than just a lovely photo op — she’s also a treasure trove of treats!
Who’s ready for ice cream?!
While visiting the park on a sunny day, we desperately needed an ice-cold treat and knew JUST where to turn to satisfy our craving!
There are so many great dining options across Disney World!

We know a thing or two when it comes to food at Disney World, as we have dined at every single restaurant across the resort…multiple times. From quick service to table service, it can be hard to decide where you want to dine. There is one thing that we do know: Cast Members at table service locations work so hard to make sure you have a pleasant dining experience. Sometimes, they run into issues while serving, and they wish they could tell the guests they are serving what they are thinking, but they don’t because they are too nice.
The Disney parks have definitely earned a special place in our hearts — and it looks like we’re not the only ones who feel that way!

From the magical atmosphere to the one-of-a-kind experiences, there’s just something about the Disney parks that feels extra special. In fact, they’re even popular with celebrities, whether they’re stopping in to film a show or just there for fun!
Listen, we get it. There’s one reason you’re hyped about your upcoming trip to EPCOT — Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
We’re here for it too! Getting to save Earth with our favorites Rocket, Groot, Drax, Gamora, and Star-Lord is such a rocking dream come true. But what happens when you’re hyped to experience the ride and you’ve got your Lightning Lane all set, and then the ride goes down? Let’s talk about it!
Disney ditched its Genie+ service earlier this year, and it was replaced with Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass.
TRON Lightcycle / RUN Lighting Lane
Although the new service is, more or less, the same, it also offers the option to pre-book Lightning Lanes BEFORE your Disney World trip (seven days in advance for those staying at Disney World hotels and three days in advance for everyone else). The pricing for Lightning Lane Single Pass has remained similar to that of the Genie+ individual attraction selection, but we just noticed that a price increase is on the way!
A new character is dancing his way to EPCOT soon, Disney password crackdowns continue with a new paid service, AND I’m going to tell you how to get $1 coffee in Disney World this weekend.

Are you having trouble deciding where you should stay when you visit Disney World?
Disney World
There are over 25 hotels on Disney World property alone. It can be hard to find the right fit for you and your party. With three different hotel tiers, Value, Moderate, and Deluxe, each tier shares and has its benefits as compared to the others. While you may think the room size or proximity to the park may be some travelers’ top priority, a pool rule could actually sway where you stay!
Disney Cast Members do get certain perks as employees of Disney. Some of those perks include discounts on food and merchandise, as well as discounts on hotel stays. Cast Members can also get free theme park admission after two weeks of employment.
Magic Kingdom Cast Members
Disney Cast Members also get exclusive shopping opportunities, including a store called Cast Connections that’s exclusive to Disney employees where they can buy discounted merchandise. Well, ANOTHER shopping opportunity is coming up SOON for Cast Members, and let’s just say WE ARE SUPER JEALOUS. But, hey, we love Cast Members, and they make the magic, so they’ve earned it!
