food IS a theme park
Disney has been cranking out snacks like CRAZY for the 50th Anniversary Celebration! From sweet new ice cream to crazy hot dogs, we’ve tried it ALL.
Tree of Life
But don’t worry, Magic Kingdom isn’t the only park with new snacks and treats! We found some colorful new popcorn in Disney’s Animal Kingdom today, and one of the flavors is pretty interesting… .
We’ve been busy celebrating Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, and we’ll stay busy celebrating it for the next 18 months!
Happy 50th, Disney World!
And it’s been so much fun so far — we’ve seen the new EPCOT nighttime show Harmonious, as well as the new Disney Enchantment fireworks show at Magic Kingdom. We’ve eaten ALL the things (y’all seriously don’t want to know how many blue and glittery things we’ve consumed!). We’ve also kept up with all the amazing new merchandise that’s appeared in the shops!
Over the past year, Disney World has been sprucing up the parks and resorts in anticipation of the 50th Anniversary and the celebration is finally here!
Spaceship Earth is ready for the 50th anniversary!
And, since the 50th has begun, we’ve seen a ton of construction projects conclude to reveal brand new shows, shops, rides, and more. Disney KiteTails is finally live in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, all four of the park icons have transformed into beacons of magic, and we even got opening timelines for some of the most highly anticipated attractions coming to Disney World next year. But, there are still a few projects going on around the parks and resorts and it’s that time of the week that we check in on them!
If you’ve followed us this week, you know we’ve been enjoying everything that Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration has to offer.
LOTS of merchandise!
And it’s been A LOT. There’s a new character cavalcade, TWO new nighttime shows (Harmonious and Disney Enchantment), new park maps, new food, and more! But we’ve also really loved all the new 50th Anniversary merchandise we’ve seen.
It’s officially Disney World’s 50th anniversary, and the celebration is ON!
New 50th Balloons!
From the Disney Parks to Disney Springs, everyone is getting in on the celebrating spirit. We’ve tried new delicious 50th anniversary snacks and some BIG fails. Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew in Disney Springs has just added a special new 50th donut to their menu — is it as tasty as it is pretty?
New dining experiences are popping up all around Disney World recently! We’ve conquered lunch and dinner at Space 220 in EPCOT, and now we’re conquering breakfast and dinner at Steakhouse 71 at Disney’s Contemporary Resort!
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Steakhouse 71 is the new restaurant located in the former location of The Wave, which closed earlier this year to make way for a new dining experience for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration. Today, we’re sharing our thoughts on what dinner service is like!
Hello from Walt Disney World!

When it comes to picking a Disney World resort, there are a TON of choices. You’ve got Disney-owned and operated hotels that hit all three budget price points: value, moderate, and deluxe.

You’ve also got third party-owned off-site hotels, as well as onsite hotels owned by third parties, like the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. And today, we have a first look at a NEW third party-owned onsite hotel!
