food IS a theme park
Double the fun!
Breakout!
Earlier this month, Disney introduced the brand-new Lightning Lane Premier Pass to Disneyland. This new level of skip-the-line option allows one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane experience in both of the Disneyland Resort theme parks to enjoy at your leisure that day.
We found one of our favorite Disney treats in an unexpected place.
Mickey Waffles!
There are few Disney treats more popular than Mickey Mouse waffles. Shaped like the iconic mouse’s face, the treat has become so synonymous with Disney vacations that some make pilgrimages to certain Disney World restaurants to get them, while others buy waffle irons to make them at home.
Planning a trip to EPCOT soon?
EPCOT
Well, if your calendar is pointing toward November 29th this year, you might want to rethink that plan. As much as we love EPCOT, trust us when we say November 29th might not be the day you want to be there. Why? Let’s talk about it!
You might be wondering if having a Disney Visa card is worth it, and we think it might be if you spend a lot of money on Disney trips and merchandise.

It is no secret that you do a lot of walking when visiting Disney World.
Walking through EPCOT
While it is good to get those steps in, we like to take shortcuts around the parks to help us save a few steps and also take a break. If you are visiting EPCOT, it can be a long walk to get from Spaceship Earth to the World Showcase, especially if you are visiting a country in the middle like the American Adventure. There is actually a way that you can save some steps between World Showcase, and we feel that not many people realize that they can take this shortcut!
If you are a Sam’s Club member, you should be marking your calendar for November 1st RIGHT NOW!

With hundreds of snacks in Disney World, how do you CHOOSE?
Magic Kingdom
We’ve spent years asking this question, and we’ve tried thousands of treats during our 15 years of curating Disney Food Blog. Over the course of all that snacking, some offerings stand out more than others, and some are simply irresistible! So when we heard that Disney World was introducing several new types of loaded french fries, we knew we had to check them out.

Iger was previously CEO of the company for 15 years before handing over the reins to Bob Chapek in 2020. Chapek lasted until 2022, when he was ousted from the role, and his job was given back to Iger. Now, Iger’s second term as CEO includes one major goal — to find a suitable successor.
A BIG day for a brand new Disney World restaurant has finally arrived and there’s one burning question on everyone’s mind — “Is it worth the hefty price tag?”
The Cake Bake Shop Bakery is OPEN!
We’ve been waiting forever for one of Disney World’s newest restaurants to finally allow us to step inside. While we’ve patiently awaited its completed construction, seen a neighboring restaurant open up well before it, and even made a price adjustment BEFORE welcoming in its first visitors, today was the day we finally got our first chance to step inside — and we are surprised to be saying this — but it may have been worth the wait!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
