food IS a theme park
Magic Kingdom is busy, busy, BUSY these days!
Magic Kingdom!
It’s the middle of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration, and that means that the original park is hopping with new snacks, new merchandise, and all kinds of fun celebrations. But besides the anniversary festivities, there’s a lot of other news to keep up with — today we’re sharing everything that’s new in Magic Kingdom!
When Disney+ first launched in 2019, ads were nowhere to be found.

But, in early 2022, Disney announced that they would be introducing an ad-supported subscription tier to the streaming service in addition to the existing ad-free tier. The new subscription is slated to roll out later this year, and now we’ve got a peek at exactly what that ad revenue might look like for Disney+.
Pixar’s newest movie, Lightyear, is already making headlines for getting banned in several countries.

Following the situation with Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill (what critics termed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill) and certain statements from Pixar employees, Disney revealed that a same-sex kiss scene in Lightyear, which had previously been removed, had been put back into the movie. Now, it seems this particular scene is causing some big implications for the movie’s release.
If you don’t have a plan for Father’s Day yet, don’t worry — you have just under a week to figure it out!
Father’s Day
To help you out, we have plenty of Father’s Day gift ideas, and Disney World has some gift sets you can check out if you’ll be in the parks with your dad this weekend. There are also a LOT of limited-time treats coming to Disney World to celebrate Dads! If you’ll specifically be heading to Disney’s All-Star Resorts before this weekend, you have to treat Dad to these new Father’s Day-inspired brownies!
When it comes to desserts in Disney Springs, you’ve got quite a few options!
Head to Gideon’s Bakehouse for some cookies!
You could grab a post-dinner treat at Amorette’s Patisserie, where there are intricate cakes and pastries, or head on over to Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew to grab some sweets and a little caffeine. But, one of the most popular stops is Gideon’s Bakehouse, where you can try their famous nearly half-pound cookies and massive cake slices. And starting today, they have a NEW offering!
Disney Springs is home to so many incredible restaurants that it can be difficult to decide which one to choose during a visit!
Disney Springs
You can visit quick service spots like D-Luxe Burger for some delicious food on the go, or stop by table service restaurants like Wine Bar George or Paddlefish for a sit-down meal. Today we learned that one popular Disney Springs restaurant is closing early, so here’s what you need to know!
If you’re trying to prep for your upcoming Disney World vacation, there are a few things you need to do ahead of time!
50th Anniversary on Cinderella Castle
You’ll need to decide on those dining reservations, pick a place to stay, plan out your must-dos for the parks, and more! Somewhere on that to-do list for vacation, you’ll probably find that you need to do some shopping — buying things like souvenirs, must-have accessories, or even new t-shirts to wear in the parks. And if you’re looking to start stocking up, then good news…there are lots of Disney deals on Amazon right now!
Father’s Day is coming up THIS weekend, and there are a bunch of ways you can celebrate the Disney way!
Celebrate Dad sign in Disney World
We’ve put together a gift guide for Disney-loving dads, and there is a bunch of special food around the Disney parks, like a Godfather-themed hotdog over in Disneyland! We also just got a FULL look at all of the tasty eats coming to Disney World for the holiday, and now, there’s a FREE item dads can get for their special day!
Beads! Beignets! Booze! Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter Resort seems to have it all. Chill vibes? Check. Mardi Gras theming? Check. A fairly reasonable price (in a Disney sense, that is)? Check-a-rino!
But does its fun atmosphere and moderate cost STILL make it worth choosing above ALL the other resort options on Disney World property?
