PHOTOS: Another Disney World Snack Spot Has Reopened (With Street Tacos!)

The Smiling Crocodile is a seasonal kiosk at Disney’s Animal Kingdom that served up crazy treats like the Pulled Pork Jelly Doughnut in the past! This is a good spot to get something a little different than the usual Animal Kingdom eats, but we’ve had some mixed feelings about some of their dishes (like those tamales that lit our mouths on fire!).

However, we’re excited to see that the Smiling Crocodile is back with a new menu! The restaurant reopened on July 11th, so of course, we had to go check it out!

The 2021 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival will be starting in just a few days!

The Food & Wine Festival Will be Starting Soon!

Recently, Disney shared the full menus for all of the food booths, including the new booths that will be joining the Festival this year. There are some fan-favorite returning items and a whole bunch of new treats to try this year. As we reviewed the menus though we noticed one type of guest (or one type of diet that guests may have we should say) that this Festival seems to be VERY friendly toward.

One Year Later, Here’s What STILL Hasn’t Returned to Disney World

By Carly Terzigni 10 Comments

It may be hard to believe, but it has been a FULL year since the Disney World theme parks reopened following its four-month-long closure in 2020 [when this post was originally published]. It’s a unique anniversary many of us wouldn’t have predicted being faced with just a few years ago, but here we are!

Cinderella Castle

Since then, a lot has changed — health and safety policies have been updated drastically to make face masks optional for most guests and Cast Members in many locations, and most social distancing measurements have also been lifted. For all of the things that HAVE returned to Disney World since the parks reopened, there are also a number of things that have STILL not come back.

Disney World Rides You Can Typically Get on WITHOUT a Wait

By Breea Milburn 1 Comment

We love Disney for so, so many reasons: the foods, the rides, the shows, the warm-and-fuzzy feelings it leaves us with after a day well spent. What we don’t love are the ride lines. Such. Long. Lines.

(Three hours for Seven Dwarfs’ Mine Train? Yeah, how ’bout no.)

Ugh…

Fortunately, not every ride is going to demand you stand in a line and waste your Disney day away. Consider hopping onto these rides if you’re tired of waiting in those never-ending Disney queues.
