food IS a theme park
It is a very hectic time at Disney World right now!
Magic Kingdom!
Between the crowds, an upcoming holiday, severe weather, and a new ride, Disney World is going through a lot right now! All of these things can make it harder to plan a vacation. There’s so much to be keeping track of! That’s why we’re constantly bringing you all of the latest Disney updates so you can stay up to date! If you’re going to Disney World next week, you’re gonna want to keep reading!
Do you love Orange Bird?
Orange you glad you spotted this guy today?
Orange Bird is an icon AND a symbol, that happy little bird we see all over Disney World. He’s got his own Sipper, Spirit Jersey, and even a Spaceship Earth Ornament. But now, Orange Bird has landed on something unexpected…popcorn.
Spring is in the air at Disney World!
Flowers in EPCOT
From the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, to all of the Easter festivities in Disney World right now, there’s no mistaking what season it is! We’ve been tracking all of the Springtime fun at the parks, and today we noticed that one of out favorite Main Street staples got a floral update!Â
Disney World has a LOT of restaurants, like, over 400. WOW.
EPCOT
Still, is there really such a thing as too many restaurant options? Here at Disney Food Blog, we certainly don’t think so. Well, we’re in luck because there are three NEW restaurants coming to Disney World THIS YEAR. Let’s take a look!
Do you know what’s better than a traditional character meet-and-greet? Character meals!
Minnie Mouse at Chef Mickey’s
Mickey Waffles and some of our favorite Disney characters? Sign us up immediately. Speaking of those characters…Disney recently released a plush set that allows you to take Chef Mickey’s characters home — and now everyone around the country can buy it!
It’s April, which means it’s the season of bunnies, eggs, and lots of sweet treats!
Easter Bunny Cupcake
Disney World has been hard at work releasing new Easter treats, and we’ve already tried some chocolatey bunny bark, strawberry marshmallow cream, and even bunny butt cheesecake (yes, really). Now it’s time for two more Easter treats, and they couldn’t be more different!
EPCOT is sort of going through a mid-life crisis at the moment, though we lovingly refer to it as a “transformation,” because who doesn’t go through a phase in life where you just need a little change? As part of EPCOT’s big transformation, the park is getting ready to unveil the new Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction, plus a new quick-service restaurant is opening soon!
EPCOT has been going through some big changes!
Right now, EPCOT is in its final stages of preparation for some big attraction and restaurant openings, and we’ve got the photos to prove it! If you’re like us and get excited over small details and construction updates, you’re in the right place!
If you can dream it, there’s probably a Disney merchandise collection for it!
Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction
Disney is constantly tempting us with their new releases, and right now, we’re in the middle of the Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction series. Every month, a new merchandise collection featuring Mickey and an iconic Disney Parks attraction is released. We recently saw the first collection in Disney World that features Space Mountain AND we got a sneak peek at next month’s — now we finally have a release date for the very first Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction collection online!Â
The pretty standard order to book a trip to Disney World used to be: 1. Book your resort and tickets. 2. Book your flight. 3. Book your rental car. If you were accustomed to booking a rental car for your Disney vacations, they were plentiful and relatively inexpensive in Orlando, other than a few peak weeks of the year. They were basically an afterthought.
Ah, the Walt Disney World main gate!
But all of that has changed (yeah, you knew we were going to say that, didn’t you?). The rental car business shifted dramatically during the shut-downs of 2020. We’re taking a look at the state of rental cars in 2022, and whether you need to book one first, or not at all.
