food IS a theme park

Capt. Cook’s in Disney’s Polynesian Resort
Today, we stopped by Capt. Cook’s to see their newest offering, a DOLE Whip Cupcake!
Can you believe it’s finally here? We’ve been so excited about today because it’s Disney World’s 50th anniversary! And a huge celebration is JUST beginning to take place at the parks!
It’s an exciting day to be at EPCOT!
It’s also a HUGE day at EPCOT for other reasons, too — today marks the opening of a brand NEW attraction, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure at the France Pavilion — AND a new restaurant is opening there, too — La Creperie de Paris. SO much going on! So, as you can imagine, all that excitement has brought a LOT of guests to the parks to check all the new stuff out. Let’s take a look at what crowds are like at EPCOT today.
Hello from the Most Magical Place on Earth on its 50th Birthday!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World’s 18-month-long 50th Anniversary celebration has officially begun and we are in the parks experiencing it all! This morning, we made our way to Magic Kingdom bright and early to see all of the new things the park has to offer. During our trip, we found a NEW popcorn treat, but we must give you a word of warning about this one!
We’ve been eating our way around Disney World trying some of their 150 new bites and sips!
Contempo Cafe
Contempo Cafe is home to some of our favorite sweets, so our expectations were high when we learned that they would be serving up TWO new desserts for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration!
Grab your stretchy pants — Disney World has more than 150 new treats coming to the parks for the 50th Anniversary!
Magic Kingdom
There will be plenty of cupcakes and other sweet treats, but there will also be new drinks, burgers, and even some tropical snacks. We’ve made our way into the parks today to taste a bunch of the delicious new items and we’ve found 3 NEW snacks in Disney’s Magic Kingdom inspired by a classic attraction!
We try to give you our best Disney World planning tips and tricks on the daily. With Disney’s constantly changing environment, we HAVE to provide you with tips on the daily because Disney’s plans can change *snaps fingers* just like that.
Welcome!
But if someone were to ask us right now what we believe is the MOST important thing to remember for planning a Disney World vacation in 2022, we’d be able to answer that pretty quickly. Because THIS particular change is going to impact a LOT of travelers VERY soon. (And there’s still a LOT of people that might not know about it yet!)
Happy birthday, Disney World! You might be 50, but we swear you don’t look a day over 25! 😀
Happy 50th, Disney World!
We’re so excited about the start of the big celebration, not to mention everything that comes with it — a new character cavalcade, new character outfits, a new Magic Kingdom fireworks show, AND a new EPCOT fireworks show! Today is going to be the BEST DAY EVER. ☀️
Can you believe it?! It’s officially Disney World’s 50th anniversary!
50th anniversary map
To help kick off the 18-month celebration, Disney World has released a 1971 merchandise collection and there are 150 snacks (Yes, you read that right.) coming to the parks! Now, we found a new Magic Kingdom map that has been released to help guests navigate all of the 50th anniversary happenings.
The 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World is finally here, and it’s time to celebrate!
Let’s celebrate!
We’ve checked out new fireworks shows and we’ve shopped the new merchandise, but now it’s time to try the snacks! We’re stopping by Disney’s Animal Kingdom to check out some new treats and share our thoughts with you.
It’s HERE!!! The 50th anniversary has officially kicked off in Disney World!
Some things still haven’t returned to Disney World
And while there hasn’t been any form of a Welcome Show since the parks reopened after its historic closure — today that changed!
