food IS a theme park
Don’t ya just hate when things in Disney World are CLOSED?
BOOOOO
We do, too! Especially when there are super long closures in the parks. We miss climbing Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom, as it’s been closed since early January. We also miss the Walt Disney World Railroad, which has been closed in Magic Kingdom for over 3 YEARS. But, today, we saw something that might mean the train will return soon!
Disney Springs is home to many popular shops and eateries.

One of those spots is so popular, there’s pretty much ALWAYS a line out the door AND they sometimes even utilize a virtual queue system to try and keep guest waits to a minimum. Yep, we’re talking about Gideon’s Bakehouse! Today, we tried a NEW item at the gothic-cartoon-themed bakery that you WON’T find on the normal menu — let’s check it out!
Today is the day to celebrate Irish culture and eat LOTS of green food.
We LOVE this place!
That’s right — it’s St. Patrick’s Day at Disney World! Although we’ve already tried our fair share of green snacks and drinks, including a VERY minty cupcake, an EXTREMELY green drink, a Mickey hat, and more, we’re heading to our beloved Gideon’s Bakehouse for MORE green treats — including GREEN CAKE.
Disney and Dooney & Bourke are clearly two peas in a pod, because they come out with new collections ALL the time!
Dooney Bags
Seriously, just this year we’ve seen collections for Valentine’s Day, Pixar, Disney horses, Orange Bird, classic Mickey, and Alice in Wonderland. And now, there’s another classic Disney movie that’s in the spotlight for a new collection!
To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
As the global pandemic continues to change, so do local and federal government guidelines regarding health and safety.
Disney Dream
With so many evolving protocols and rules, it can be difficult to stay on top of it all. The most recent adjustment in guidelines comes from the Disney Cruise Line, with updated policies regarding cruise ships that sail to and from Canada — let’s check out everything you need to know.Â
There are a lot of BIG things coming soon to Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
Whether it’s makeovers to the resort hotels, new roller coasters, or dining options that we can’t wait to try, there’s a lot on the horizon for the vacation destination. However, the thing that we may have been waiting on the longest is the Tron Coaster in Magic Kingdom…and today it hit a HUGE milestone!
Waiting in line is just the name of the game when it comes to riding attractions at Disney World.
Wait times can be LONG in Disney World
Of course, you can opt to purchase Disney Genie+ or Individual Attraction Selections that let you “skip the line,” but sometimes there’s just no way around a wait — especially when there are unexpected refurbishments and closures. And, as spring break crowds flock to the Disney Parks this week, it may be no surprise that Tower of Terror has well over an hour wait in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But, there’s actually something else that’s adding to the time you spend listening to the somber-themed music in line — and the long lines may last MUCH longer than the crowds.
If eating isn’t enough for you at the 2022 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival (but like, who are you??), there are also fun activities to try!
It’s time for the 2022 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival!
Check out all the festival topiaries, take a walk through Bambi’s Butterfly House, or play a game and win a prize! Spike the Bee’s Pollen-Nation Exploration scavenger hunt is back in EPCOT this year, and recently we noted that the official prize for completing the hunt wasn’t available yet. But today we noticed a change, and we’re excited to finally check out the official NEW prizes!
If there’s one thing you’ll always find at the Disney theme parks (besides fun times, great rides, and delicious food), it’s crowds!
Crowds on Main Street, U.S.A.
Thankfully there are plenty of secret pathways and ways to avoid crowd burnout. Today, we’re talking about 5 places that are ALWAYS stressful in Disney parks and where to go instead!
I don’t think we’ve done a video recently that shocked us quite this much in the research phase.
