food IS a theme park
The 2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is quickly approaching and, if you’re a parent, you might be wondering if it’s kid-friendly.
Food & Wine 2020!
The short answer is — yes! We’ve got tons of tips and ideas for making the most out of Food and Wine WITH your kids and all it really takes is some planning!
If you are thinking about visiting Disney World for the 50th anniversary, you’ve probably started making plans.

Plans for a 2021 Disney World visit typically include park passes, hotel reservations, and theme park tickets. But with the 50th Anniversary being a BIG event, you’ll want to get started on that trip planning very early. So, recently we took a look at Disney World resort hotel availabilities and pricing for the 50th anniversary, right around October 1st, 2021. What does hotel availability look like right now? What spots are already booked up and what’s still available (if anything)? We’re breaking it all down for you here!
There is SO much construction going on at Disney World that it’s hard to keep track of it all!
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting a major overhaul (and Moana-inspired rooms), and Disney’s Contemporary Resort is getting an Incredibles-themed update, along with a reimagining of one of its restaurants, The Wave…of American Flavors.
Even though Disney World welcomed back guests last July, several restaurants still have yet to reopen.
Casey’s Corner
That includes fan-favorite Magic Kingdom spot Casey’s Corner, known for its famous hot dog creations. We’ve recently seen several signs that Casey’s Corner could be preparing to reopen soon, including updates to the menu online and the return of tables and chairs inside the restaurant.
At Disney World there’s usually something to do for everyone, whether you’re into thrill rides, calm rides, watching a show, or eating every snack.
The Happiest Entrance Sign on Earth
Disney World offers quite a few rides with no height requirements, meaning people of all heights and ages (even babies!) can visit these attractions. If you ever wanted an extensive list of every no height limit attraction at Disney, we’ve got you covered.
Disney and Loungefly’s signature backpacks are coveted (and stylish!) pieces of Disney merch. From Steamboat Willie to Loki, if it’s Disney, there’s a Loungefly bag for it!

Usually, we spot these bags in the parks, shops, or shopDisney but recently, we spotted a villainous Loungefly on Amazon that’s going fast!
It’s always a great day in the parks when a beloved dining location reopens to guests! And, today has brought us the official return of the Eight Spoon Cafe in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Eight Spoon Cafe has reopened!
While the Eight Spoon Cafe may not seem super intriguing, it’s one of our favorite snack places with amazing pulled pork and mac you don’t want to miss! In honor of its reopening, of course, we’re taking you with us to try bites from the menu once again.
If you’ve spent hours scouring the internet trying to find that perfect Dole Whip recipe, trust us when we say you’re not alone.

You know we’re Dole Whip aficionados, so we’re VERY intrigued to see how this Dole Whip recipe from The Pioneer Woman sands up.
It’s a very exciting time to be at Disney World, y’all! So much is happening right now!
Eight Spoon Cafe has reopened!
Some of our favorite ride pre-shows have returned, we can now play with some fun interactive features in ride lines, and we saw Happily Ever After fireworks testing last night at Magic Kingdom.
Doesn’t it feel like we’ve been talking about EPCOT’s Transformation for YEARS? Well, that’s because we have been talking about all of the exciting projects in development at EPCOT for some time now — remember wayyy back at the 2019 D23 Expo when we first got a glimpse at all of those retro-inspired posters and Spaceship Earth model that once sat in the EPCOT Experience (the EPCOT Experience has since closed).

While some projects are moving along, full steam ahead, others have either hit the ‘pause’ button or have been shelved altogether. Let’s recap what was supposed to be a part of the EPCOT transformation, but is now on the chopping block.
