food IS a theme park
Disney is seriously blowing our minds with the fun news recently.

Not only did we hear when Avengers Campus is going to open, but we also got to see a REAL LIGHTSABER. Still, real-life energy sabers aren’t the ONLY exciting things that Disney surprised us with yesterday — Disney also showed a whole new kind of robot that we could see in the parks or elsewhere.
If Disney’s going for the Guinness World Record for most construction going on at one time, well, let’s just say we’d put them in the running!
Construction is Going on at Disney’s Contemporary Resort Now!
Right now, there’s construction going on at EPCOT as part of that park’s transformation, work being done on the TRON coaster in Magic Kingdom, new decorations being added to Cinderella Castle, lots of construction happening over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and MORE!! Construction has also now begun at Disney’s Contemporary Resort as select guest rooms at the hotel get some refurbishment and the inside of the hotel is looking…interesting.Â
What if we told you one of the BEST dessert spots in Disney World just got a little better?
mmmmm cookies
Gideon’s Bakehouse is one of the newest locations in Disney Springs and has already become WILDLY popular thanks to its DELICIOUS almost half-pound cookies. Now, this Orlando local bakery is bringing us a NEW treat to try.
Sometimes, Disney World closes rides for a little spiffying up!

We keep a close eye on all these refurbishments, so we can keep YOU in the know! After all, if you’re planning a trip to Disney World, you’ll want to know what will be unavailable. And today, we’re bringing you our weekly refurbishment update for April 12th through 18th!
Ah, the joy of sipping on a unique Coca-Cola creation from around the world and tricking your family members into drinking Beverly.
The Coca Cola Store Is So Cool
You can still sample some great Coca-Cola products and grab ALL kinds of soda-themed merchandise over at the Coca-Cola store and rooftop beverage bar in Disney Springs. But, Club Cool — the spot where you used to be able to sip on some free Coca-Cola samples and more in EPCOT — closed some time ago as part of the EPCOT transformation. Well, if you were a fan of Club Cool, it’s time to GET EXCITED!!! Club Cool will be coming BACK to EPCOT soon!!
We’ve seen some major changes at EPCOT recently.

As the park’s transformation continues, we’re looking forward to the opening of brand-new rides and restaurants — and even a new fireworks show! Now, Disney’s announced that a new SHOP is on the way, and it’s gonna be a big deal.
What’s your favorite restaurant in ALL of Disney World?
Feeling Hungry Yet?!
Maybe it’s Chef Mickey’s because you remember eating there with your family years ago. Or, a place like Be Our Guest Restaurant could be at the top of your list because of the GORGEOUS theming there. But, did you know that Chef Mickey’s and Be Our Guest have both changed a LOT over the years? Did you also know that Cinderella’s Royal Table used to be named after a character from Sleeping Beauty?! Today we’re sharing some of the ways in which your favorite Disney World restaurants have COMPLETELY CHANGED!

The Walt Disney Archives offer us all kinds of opportunities to take a never-before-seen sneak peek into the company, from Imagineering to animation. We’ve seen the opening (and extension!) of an exhibit in California — and now, another is on the way.
Can we tell you how happy we are to be snacking at Disney California Adventure again? Like we could CRY!
Helloooo From Pixar Pier!
Not only did we get reunited with Disneyland Dole Whips (insert happy sigh here), but we also got to indulge in some amazing chicken gumbo, Walt’s Chili, AND Mimosas and Cheese. And yes, we even tried that controversial snack, the Pickle Corn Dog!
Don’t mind us — we’re just sitting here remembering all of the international sodas we used to get at EPCOT’s Club Cool… .
We got a bad case of nostalgia
At the closed location, there used to be an orange-flavored Coca-Cola drink called Mezzo Mix that we — and a lot of other guests — just couldn’t get enough of! But then Club Cool went away to make room for EPCOT’s big transformation and we thought Mezzo Mix was gone forever.
