food IS a theme park
There’s just something special about the sight of Mickey Balloons as you’re “walkin’ right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A.” in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.
Mickey Balloons!
And today, that vision is even brighter as SPRING colors (and critters!) are now gracing the big batches of balloons on Main Street! You may remember when we first spotted the spring balloons in Disney California Adventure, but now guests can find them in Disney World, too. [Read more…]
It’s just a matter of days before we’ll be able to return to Disney California Adventure for the “A Touch of Disney” even taking place!
Disneyland Gate
While we’re already looking forward to all the food booths, there’s an extra bit of entertainment you can enjoy ahead of “A Touch of Disney” AND Disneyland’s grand reopening soon, which we should hear more about soon.
The EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival has officially begun once again in Disney World.
EPCOT
For the past several years, EPCOT has generally been celebrating 4 different festivals throughout the year — Flower & Garden in the Spring, the International Food & Wine Festival in the Fall, the International Festival of the Holidays in the winter, and the International Festival of the Arts right at the beginning of the new year. And with news about ticket prices in 2022 and other things, we started wondering — are the EPCOT festivals getting more expensive? We did some digging, and here’s what we found.
We’re coming up on a lot of little celebrations this year!
Cinderella Castle
Remember when you were in grade school and the spring felt so slow because there weren’t back-to-back holidays? Well, Disney is proving that there is still A LOT to celebrate as the weather warms up with the release of new MagicBands. We recently found an Easter MagicBand that is covered in some RARE Disney characters and today, we found more limited-edition bands that help you celebrate all the little things!
When Disney World reopened, traditional character meet-and-greets were suspended.
Oh, boy!
But, you can still see some of your favorite Disney friends from a distance in other ways all around Disney World. If you’re a BIG Mickey Mouse fan or you’ve got a little one who couldn’t go a single trip without saying “hello” to the big cheese, you might be wondering where you’ll be able to find the leader of the club during your next trip. Well, don’t worry — we’ve got the answer right here!
During Disney’s last quarterly earnings call, we got an update on performance and losses for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

Soon, we’ll get another check-in with the Walt Disney Company with another earnings report and call that will give us an update on how things are looking financially — and if we’re lucky, some Disney parks news too.
Tater Tot Nachos = TOTCHOS! Maybe you’ve whipped up a batch of Totchos in your own kitchen thanks to this Disney Recipe to satisfy your cravings for this popular dish from Woody’s Lunch Box in Toy Story Land.
Reuben Totchos
Well, we’ve got a NEW Totchos recipe for you today, and this one is for Totchos… with a TWIST! We recently enjoyed the tasty St. Patrick’s Day Reuben Totchos at Restaurantosaurus in Disney’s Animal Kingdom (as one of MANY St. Paddy’s Day treats in Disney World), and now Disney has shared the recipe for this corned beef-topped version, too! [Read more…]
Soooo…we might have to eat OUTSIDE of Disney World this spring!
Magic Kingdom
For what, you ask? Burgers!! It’s been 50 years since a White Castle has called Florida home and we’re getting close to it FINALLY being back. All you mid-westerners (and mid-westerners at heart) will be able to get your burger fix just outside of Disney World near Disney Springs! But, before we can enjoy those little delicious sliders, there need to be employees and that could be you!
Orange Bird — he’s a sipper cup, he’s on a spirit jersey, he’s on Mickey ears, he’s got his own mural, he’s…well, everywhere!
Orange Bird Sipper and Orange Lemon Smoothie
Can’t get to Disney World for all the Orange Bird fun? No worries —Â now Orange Bird is coming to YOU, if you’re an Annual Passholder that is!
We got some major Disney World announcements recently.
EPCOT
We learned the official opening dates for two new things coming to EPCOT later this year — Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Crêperie de Paris! They’ll both be opening on October 1st in celebration of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary. But, we couldn’t help but notice that another upcoming attraction wasn’t mentioned — EPCOT’s new fireworks show, Harmonious.
