food IS a theme park
St. Patrick’s Day means Disney World treats are going green, and one Disney World Resort hotel is releasing not one, but TWO new holiday treats.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Recently we tried the Good Luck Charm milkshake from The Drop Off Pool Bar at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort hotel, and it’s hard to imagine another treat topping this tasty adult milkshake. But another Art of Animation location decided to give it a try!
Ever wondered what it would be like to eat like Oprah Winfrey? Well, you can come CLOSE to it in Disney World (kind of)!
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ is located in Disney Springs and is owned by — as you might guess — Chef Art Smith who has cooked for some big names like Oprah and President Barack Obama and competed on Iron Chef America and Chopped All Stars on The Food Network in the past. Here you’ll find all the southern comfort food you could ever want (including a moonshine bar!), but soon you won’t have to head to Disney World to try some of the chef’s signature dishes!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom can get a bad rap when it comes to food. Everyone tends to give all the glory to Cheeseburger Pods (which we can’t deny are delicious) and forget about the other awesome places to eat — you just have to know WHERE to look!
Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery is a hidden GEM!
One of the hidden gems is Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery, which is located in the Africa section of the park near Kilimanjaro Safaris. We love hitting up this spot for a morning coffee without a long line and some sweet treats, but they also serve up a few savory items too!
We dare you NOT to smile when you see the NEW Disney World balloon!
Balloons!
It’s hard not to smile at any Disney World balloon, right? We love seeing new ones pop up, and we know a lot of you like to see them too! Most recently, we saw a balloon covered in other balloons (Disney balloon inception). The holiday balloons are also a lot of fun, especially the Christmas and Halloween ones. But now, a NEW Easter balloon has arrived!
Okay, so Disney World might not exactly be New York City — this isn’t the City That Never Sleeps, after all — but it isn’t the sleepy early bird vibe either!
Spaceship Earth at night
While Disney World is obviously a mecca for kids and families, there are actually LOTS of ways of adults to stay entertained late at night! Even waaaaay past our bedtime at midnight!
March is Women’s History Month and Disney is celebrating with FOOD!
Encanto Treats!
Well, they’re not just celebrating with food, but there are a lot of new eats and treats in places like Disney World this month for the occasion. We’ve tried a dessert inspired by one of the leading ladies from the Star Wars universe, as well as some treats inspired by the women of Disney’s Encanto AND by some famous female Imagineers. And now, we’ve got a savory item to try!
After a hard day of waiting in lines, waking up early to book a Genie+ reservation, and walking ALL over Disney World, you deserve to let loose and party! Disney seems to know exactly what we like, because we’re suckers for specialty foods and drinks, and we ESPECIALLY love shortened wait times.
Typhoon Lagoon
So, all that sounds great, but how does it work? Well, over in Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, there’s a special event RETURNING to Disney World that will grant allll our party-going wishes!
Disney’s new cruise ship is set to take its maiden voyage this summer!

After some delays due in part to the global pandemic, the ship will now set sail in July instead of June. We’ve been keeping up with the development of the ship, including what entertainment will be on board, as well as the restaurants, attractions, and more. Now, we’re getting a closer look at the shows on the Disney Wish!
We’re heading to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to eat at a SERIOUSLY underrated restaurant.
Hollywood Studios
Granted, this spot hasn’t been a top priority for us in the past. With some really fun restaurants in the park — like 50’s Prime Time Café or Woody’s Lunch Box — we used to write off this spot as not worth the money or stomach space. But recent updates have pulled the eatery back into the game, so let’s head in to check out the grub! [Read more…]
There are so many different Disney items you can collect, but we think some of the most fun pieces have come from all of the Stitch Crashes Disney collections!
Stitch plush
Since last year, Stitch takes over a different Disney movie each month (but there have been some delays) and new merch is released themed to that movie. We’ve seen Stitch crash The Jungle Book, Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin, The Lion King, and more. We’ve been waiting for a while for the next drop, as it was pushed back, and it’s finally HERE!
