food IS a theme park
If you’re tuned in to the world of Disney World snacks, then you’ve DEFINITELY heard of Gideon’s Bakehouse.
Gideon’s Bakehouse
The bakery located at Disney Springs (and East End Market in Orlando) is known for its delicious half-pound cookies and giant cake slices. In fact, it’s so popular that guests will wait in a multi-hour virtual queue just to try the sweets. So is there any way to get the cookies if you’re NOT in Central Florida…or will there be in the future?
When it comes to unique dining experiences in Disney World, you’ve got a PLETHORA of options.
Coral Reef Restaurant
You could dine in castles or with your favorite characters. You could eat at a table shaped like a car, in a restaurant that’s made to mimic a drive-in movie theater. Or you could go incredibly upscale and try a AAA Five-Diamond restaurant with a multi-course meal. But today, we’re taking you along with us to EPCOT, where we recently visited a restaurant in an aquarium!
Planning a trip to Orlando? Well, if you’re planning to fly there, there’s an UPDATE you need to know about.
Orlando International Airport
If you’ll be flying to Orlando you’ll likely find yourself at Orlando International Airport (though there are other options). We’ve seen all kinds of updates from the airport lately, including adjustments that could make your trip less stressful, the opening of new restaurants, and announcements about potential future changes. But now we’ve got more information for you!
We know a LOT of our readers are Star Wars fans.
Chewbacca Disney World Card
We recently noticed Star Wars music playing during Groundhog Day celebrations, and a popular trivia TV show is looking for Star Wars fans for upcoming episodes. Now, there’s also been an update on a Star Wars auction — certain historical memorabilia will no longer be available for bidding.
Can you believe how quickly this year is passing? April will be here before we know it!
Easter Bunny Palm Pals
And April means that, for those who celebrate, it’s Easter! Disney has celebrated this holiday with some special snacks and holiday merchandise in past years. If you’re looking to get a head start, Disney has released their Easter plushes online already (and you’re not ready for how adorable these are)!
The Disney parks have been home to MANY parades over the years.
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
Some parades are very common and happen every single day. Other parades are rare and might only happen during certain holiday periods. But there’s one parade in particular that you may have NEVER seen because it only happens ONCE each year (and it changes every single time it happens!).
TRON Lightcycle / Run is the newest coaster coming to Disney World. It’ll open in Magic Kingdom on April 4th, 2023, in the Tomorrowland section of the park. Many Disney fans can’t wait to enter the grid and board the lightcycles on the high-speed attraction, but some people are concerned about the unique ride vehicles on this new coaster.
Opening soon!
Cast Member previews began a few weeks ago, and almost immediately, people began reporting difficulty getting onto the ride vehicles and even being turned away from the standard lightcycles when they couldn’t fit. So what’s really going on with this unusual coaster, and will YOU be able to ride it when it opens? We’ve got the answers. [Read more…]
What trip to Disney Springs is complete without a snack?
