food IS a theme park
Hello, summer! We are so ready to spend some time at the pool, eat some yummy BBQ and LOADS of ice cream, and drink all the frozen drinks we can get our hands on.

But our summer just got a little more fun because shopDisney is having a sale on summer gear!
Occasionally, something will go wrong in Disney World.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
There could be bad weather, a broken animatronic, or even a massive power outage that shuts down entire portions of a park! And over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance was havin’ it rough this morning.
Chicken Guy! at Disney Springs is one of those restaurants that we feel is often underrated.
Big Bite B.L.A.T., fries, and slaw from Chicken Guy!
We’re big fans of the chicken tenders there, not to mention the whopping 22 sauces you can get to dip them in! And we are all about the chicken sandwiches, too, as well as the MAC AND CHEESE. And there’s about to be a brand new Chicken Guy! location in Florida!
There are so many ongoing projects at Disney World right now that it’s hard to keep track of them all!
There are a lot of construction walls at EPCOT right now!
From hotels (like Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser) to restaurants (like Roundup Rodeo BBQ) to new rides (like the TRON Lightcycle Run and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind), there’s going to be so much to check out in the future! And if you’re a big Moana fan, then you’ll definitely be anticipating the new attraction coming to EPCOT…BUT there’s something you need to know about it first.
Maybe you’ve eaten inside Cinderella Castle, went to EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival, and gone behind the scenes in Magic Kingdom.

But you aren’t a REAL Disney World pro until you’ve done the things on this list.
Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea is celebrating AGAIN!
Joffrey’s in Disney Springs
Yesterday, guests were able to snag free Donald Duck latte art in honor of National Donald Duck Day. And today, Joffrey’s is back with another fun deal — this time on tea!
UPDATE: Disney has announced that the new attraction replacing Splash Mountain will be named Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and that it is expected to open in late 2024.

Disney has announced that they will be re-theming an attraction in both Disney World AND Disneyland — Splash Mountain.
Splash Mountain
So far, there has been NO official word on when the Splash Mountain refurbishment might begin. Instead, the ride has continued to operate as normal, with no changes to the scenes or signs of work being done just yet. So, we’re pulling together everything that we know for ya, to see just when the Splash Mountain retheming might begin!
We’re back with another online shopping deal!
Mickey Balloooooooons
shopDisney frequently offers deals and discounts like BIG sales, free shipping, and more. Recently, you could save up to 40% on over 800 items! And now, we’ve spotted a deal goin’ on for today ONLY that you’ll want to know about.
UPDATE:Â All rides in Animal Kingdom reopened later in the day.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has been encountering some hiccups lately.
Animal Kingdom
And we don’t just mean bad weather or long lines. Recently, we reported that a power outage shut down about half the park, including popular rides like Expedition Everest and DINOSAUR! And now, it seems to have happened again.
While Walt Disney World has been reopened since July of 2020, some of our favorite restaurants sadly remain closed.
Ohana Appetizers featuring Honey-Coriander Chicken Wings
We still haven’t seen the return of our favorite hot dog spot, Casey’s Corner, and Columbia Harbour House continues to be used for the Peter Pan’s Flight queue (but you *can* get some menu items at Tomorrowland Terrace). ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is one of the places that hasn’t opened its doors again, even when the resort did. But now, we FINALLY have a reopening date for the iconic Polynesian staple and you can make your reservation TODAY!!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
