food IS a theme park
Are you getting ready for your Disney World vacation?
EPCOT
Disney definitely knows how to keep you on your toes when you’re planning a vacation. Sure, they’re not chaining you to the parks or anything, but if you’ve ever felt like Disney’s got you caught in a seriously magical bubble, you’re not alone. Let’s break down how the mouse has perfected the art of keeping you close and why stepping outside that bubble might just be the best thing for your next Orlando adventure.
Extra, extra, read all about it! Seriously, we’re sure Disney World hasn’t had a wink of sleep because it has dropped so many new updates this week. If you’ve missed out, this is your chance to catch up!

I’m back again with another round of WHAT’S NEW UPDATES AT DISNEY WORLD, a rundown on all the epic news and updates that happened at Disney World this past week. This week, we got the 4-1-1 on a RARE character you can now meet at EPCOT, details REVEALED for a special event at Hollywood Studios, and a NEW menu for a popular Magic Kingdom restaurant! Are y’all ready? Okay, let’s go!
It’s almost October in Disney World, and that means we can all celebrate as it drops a few degrees in temperature!
Magic Kingdom
It also means that the month of Halloween will officially arrive, even though Disney World has been celebrating since August. We can’t wait for next month to hit, but for those of you taking a trip next month, there are a few things you need to know about before you step into the parks. Namely, some mistakes we don’t want you to make!
DEAL ALERT! Ready for some sweet deals on Disney essentials? Is that even a question?!
Loungefly bags
We browse Amazon for the BEST Disney deals each week, and we’ve got some great sales to show you! In fact, we even spotted a Loungefly bag for 50% off. Come with us and let’s go shopping!
Everything POPS!
Pop Century Resort
Disney’s Pop Century Resort is one of our favorite hotels at Disney World. The value resort, which opened in 2003, is themed to the pop culture of the second half of the 20th century. Its buildings are themed to films, fads, and everything in between from the 1950s through the 1990s.Â
A Disney Springs restaurant just debuted a handful of NEW menu items!
Disney Springs
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ is a popular Disney Springs restaurant that features some down-home cooking inspired by Florida’s freshest flavors. Homecomin’ is a favorite here at Disney Food Blog, so we had to stop by to try out some of the new dishes.
Believe it or not, hurricane season is not over yet, at least for Disney World. Hurricane season generally runs through the end of November, so we have several months of potential bad weather to look out for.
So far, we’ve only had one system that has impacted Disney World, when Hurricane Debby came through Florida. Since then, we have seen other tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean, and now, there are currently a total of four systems the National Hurricane Center are watching for tropical storm or hurricane activity. Yep…FOUR. We were previously warned that this would be a busy hurricane season, and it looks like that’s still a very real possibility.
These Disney souvenirs were Thanos-snapped. *POOF* Gone.
Mickey Bar Antenna Topper
Anyone who has been to Disney World knows that there are literally thousands of souvenirs available to purchase from the resort at any given time. However, over the years, there have been items that were once staples of the resort that have disappeared. Whether due to fading popularity, societal changes, or simply technological advances, these once-prevalent souvenirs have almost completely disappeared. However, many of them have modern equivalents that are still available!
There are four secret clubs hidden across Disney World and one secret club hidden at Disneyland.
Club 33 Disneyland
If you guessed Club 33, you are right! But there is actually a club that you can join for a fraction of the cost, and it can earn you points at select Disney World restaurants! We are all here to save money on dining at Disney World, so we want to let you in on this secret club and show you how you can join!
We are ALWAYS on the lookout for Disney Halloween and holiday decor. We’re also in that weird time of year where you can find BOTH in stores. So Happy Halloweenmas, folks!
Disney Halloween Arch in Costco
We’ve already seen plenty of Halloween merchandise online. The first holiday decorations have also started popping up, too (and we want one of EVERYTHING). Well, we just visited our local Costco and not only did we find even MORE Disney Halloween decor, we also found some AMAZING holiday decorations, so, yes, we’re just ready to throw a ton of money at Costco. Anyway, we’re sharing some of our finds with you.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
