food IS a theme park
Master-planned communities, Disney cruises, Adventures by Disney, and even a shopping and dining center. You may have thought you’d seen all that Disney has to offer, but you’d be wrong.

Back in February of 2022, Disney announced that it would be building NEW master-planned communities. Of course, we have seen Disney get involved in real estate projects in the past, like Golden Oak or Celebration (which it no longer manages), but now Disney has announced a NEW project!
So just how much has changed at Disney World in a month?
There are a few new menu items at Backlot Express!
Well, spring break crowds have arrived, there’s a brand new Disney x Coach collection, the Festival of Fantasy Parade returned, we found out a long-running Disney World show is closing permanently, and more! There has been some change at Disney World restaurants, too, including some major menu updates! So let’s get to them!
Whether you’re visiting Disney World for one day or 7+ days, you’re probably trying to pack as much as humanly possible into your park days because…well…there’s just A LOT to do!
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
Between dining reservations, attractions, shows, and more, it can be hard to do it all. But, if you take advantage of Early Theme Park Entry, Extended Evening Theme Park Hours, or even just every minute that a park is open, you can probably come close! But, today you’ll have LESS time to get it all in if you’re visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios — here’s why!
If you happen to find yourself on the Disney Food Blog (hi, by the way!), you probably like to travel. We don’t know about you, but we could really go for a vacation right about now! Well, right one cue, Disney just announced a bunch of new vacation deals that have us SERIOUSLY tempted to book a trip. Who’s with us?

Starting now, a special group of Disney guests has access to a new Disney vacation deal, but this time we’re not talking about Disney World!
We have seen a TON of different versions of Cinderella Castle in celebration of Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary!
Cinderella Castle
From 50th Anniversary Castle Funko Pop! toys to a Cinderella Castle you can cuddle with to designer purses to a mug featuring the castle’s most talked-about transformation, we thought we had seen it all — until now! We were making a lap around Magic Kingdom today when we happened upon Cinderella Castle decked out in a way that’s almost as sweet as the infamous birthday cake makeover!
Disney World has a TON of great places to eat, but there are also some fun restaurants juuust outside of the parks in the Orlando area!
White Castle
There are places like White Castle, Chicken Guy!, a fancy celebrity chef restaurant, and more, so it can be worth it to go off-property for a meal or to grab something to eat before hitting the road to go home. And now, a new celebrity restaurant chain is coming to Florida!
We hate when some of our favorite items disappear from the menus in Disney World, but that just makes them so much sweeter when they finally return!
We miss you, Kakamora Float
Recently, we told you about the return of the famous Citrus Swirl to Disney World, but there is something else that you should know about this iconic treat!
We LOVE being able to bring you ways to save on your Disney vacation!
Disney shirts at Creations Shop in EPCOT
But sometimes, you just can’t get to Disney World or Disneyland for whatever reason — but have no fear! You can bring the Disney magic home with you thanks to the world of online shopping. And we’re here with the best Disney deals you can get on Amazon right now — let’s check them out!
Have you ever heard of the term “E-Ticket” attraction when you’ve been doing your research on or visiting Disney World?
Jungle Cruise was once an E-ticket attraction
It’s not something that’s talked about all too often, but it’s a BIG blast from Disney World’s past! When the parks first opened, there was a flat rate to get into the parks (unlike now where prices vary depending on when you visit) but if you wanted to ride anything (or do anything else aside from people watching for that matter) you had to pay separately. These separate ride tickets were rated A, B, C, D, and E, with the E-Ticket rides being your ticket onto the most popular attractions. Nowadays, we still see references to these tickets pop up in the parks for special photo ops or on merchandise, and today we spotted a way that you can take home ALL of the e-tickets in honor of Disney World’s 50th anniversary!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is opening SOON in Disney World, and we’re SO ready to finally get on the ride!
We can’t wait!
We’ve already seen a lot things at the new attraction like the giant spaceship, the queue inside, the loading area, and the ride vehicles. Disney just recently announced the grand opening date of the ride, and some people wasted no time in booking their park reservations, because the date is now unavailable for a certain group of guests!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
