food IS a theme park
It’s finally happening — another part of the Disney World experience is coming BACK soon!
Minnie Vans Are Coming BACK!
Over the past few months, we’ve seen a number of things return to or reopen at Disney World. Many restaurants, hotels, attractions, and tours are available for fans to enjoy again at the Most Magical Place on Earth. And soon one more thing will be coming back…Minnie Vans!
Just when you thought you had enough Disney T-shirts, we’ve found even MORE that are hard to resist!
SO many options!
Seriously though, it’s difficult sometimes NOT to buy the latest Disney merch when there are just so many fun things being released. From Pretzel ears to Peter Pan bags to cute Stitch plushes, we keep increasing our limits to how much Disney stuff we have! And now, we have another item that might just have us reaching for our credit cards again!
There is one unique experience at Disney Parks that is completely for kids.

The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique allows kids to get a makeover, with hairstyling, makeup, costume, and accessories to become their favorite Disney princess or knight. This service, though, still has not yet returned to Disney World, but it will be available soon somewhere else — aboard Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Wish.
Disney World must have known that we’d feel robbed by the announcement that our beloved BoardWalk Bakery will be transformed into a sandwich shop because they pulled out all the stops to distract us by also announcing that a 🚨 BRAND NEW RESTAURANT 🚨 is coming instead — The Cake Bake Shop!

Expected to open in 2023, The Cake Bake Shop is said to bring a “whimsical atmosphere that complements the magic of the idyllic charm of Disney’s BoardWalk that guests know and love” according to Disney. But, this new restaurant and bakeshop won’t be unique to Disney World — there are actually already TWO locations in the U.S. owned by the award-winning Gwendolyn Rogers. So, why wait to start dreaming up what will be offered on the sweet and savory menus, as well as afternoon tea service? We’re diving into the menus that are currently offered at the two Indiana locations to see what we can expect when it opens in Disney World!
Magic Kingdom has had a LOT going on lately!
Festival of Fantasy is BACK!
The stage show is back in front of the castle, parades have returned, and we even found some awesome Space Mountain merch. But, that’s not all — come with us to see what’s new in Magic Kingdom!
Raise your hand if you love Julie Andrews! 🙋♀️

Julie Andrews, the star of classic films like Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music (and we can’t forget The Princess Diaries!) is a legend, and there is a rare opportunity to live in a home where she once resided. By the way, it’s a Victorian mansion and you need a few million dollars to buy it. No big, right?
Lots of changes are coming to the Disney parks, but it seems like the Walt Disney Company is planning even MORE changes outside the theme parks. One of the biggest innovations that Disney has shown a lot of interest in is the concept of a Metaverse and further exploration of Virtual Reality. Now, we’ve got a new look at how Disney is planning to put these emerging technologies to use.

Maybe you blew your whole budget for that trip to the Mediterranean on a trip to Disney World instead, but you can come close to getting that Moroccan seaside outdoor cafe experience in EPCOT! (We really will do anything to convince our family that the money was better spent at Disney World, right?!)
Spice Road Table
We’re talking about a SERIOUSLY underrated and overlooked restaurant — Spice Road Table! You’ll find this quaint and cozy restaurant on the shores of World Showcase Lagoon in the Morocco Pavilion and almost everyone is just walking right by this hidden gem (that’s relatively easy to get into!). It’s been a little while since we last enjoyed a full meal here and a lot has changed, so let’s find out what we’ve been missing!
There’s no sugar coating it, Disney World is EXPENSIVE, but has it always been this way?
Hollywood Scoops
Are we priced out of a Disney vacation, or are there ways to make it happen on the cheap?
Of all the Disney World parks, EPCOT is basically synonymous with destination dining! But let’s be real: some restaurants in this food-filled park are more destination-worthy than others — as evidenced by the Yelp reviews.
There’s good food here
While many EPCOT restaurants have their diehard fans, certain Table Service locations are especially adored, and Yelp is here to remind us why!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
