When you think iconic Disney World food, do you think of noodles?
We love you, ‘Ohana noodles
Probably not! While the noodles in Disney aren’t all iconic (that spot is reserved solely for ‘Ohana noodles!), many of them are delicious. Recently, we’ve found some awesome noodle bowls over at The Noodle Exchange for EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival, and even found a great bowl of rice noodles over at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort! But, if you’re like us, you can never have enough carbs in your life, and we just found a way to get a ton of delicious noodles AND donate to a great cause!

Disney recently announced that a new system would be replacing FastPass+ in Disney World soon.

Disney Genie+ will be a part of the new Genie planning system in the My Disney Experience app. While Genie is free, Genie+ is a paid service that allows you to make ride reservations in a similar way that you used to be able to using FastPass+. Only now, you will only be able to reserve one ride at a time, and you will enter the queue through the Lightning Lane instead of the FastPass+ lane (it’s the same lane — just renamed!). Today, we found more information about the old FastPass+ system while we were in the parks.
Disney and Starbucks have quite a history together! From Starbucks locations at the Disney Parks, Downtown Disney in Anaheim, and Disney Springs to special merch like cups and mugs.
Tatooine “Been There” Mug
One of Starbucks’ iconic merch lines, the Been There Collection, features mugs and tumblers that highlight a wide range of locations, including Disney parks and even planets from Star Wars!
EPCOT has been undergoing a lot of changes lately!
EPCOT
The park is in the middle of a massive transformation that includes new rides, areas, and structures. One of the new things is the Creations Shop, which will be replacing Mouse Gear as EPCOT’s flagship merchandise location. We just learned that Creations Shop will be opening on September 15th, and there will be new and exclusive merchandise for sale!
The start of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations is just a few weeks away!

On October 1st, we’ll get to experience all kinds of things as the festivities begin. There will be new fireworks shows, a new daytime show in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the release of new merchandise, new costumes for some of our favorite characters, and MORE! Getting ready to plan your trip to Disney World for the 50th Anniversary? Then we’ve got a perfect video for you to watch!
EPCOT has been undergoing a BIG transformation for quite some time now.

The project is coming along, with a new fountain in front of Spaceship Earth, reimagined Leave A Legacy displays at the entrance of the park, and new rides coming soon! As part of the changes, some EPCOT staples have closed to make way for new additions. Club Cool closed in 2019, but we found out earlier this year that a revitalized version of the fan-favorite spot is coming back to EPCOT. And we now know WHEN the new Club Cool will open!
