food IS a theme park
As Sharpay sang in High School Musical 2, “It’s out with the old and in with the new!”

While we were walking through EPCOT the other day, we started to notice something ODD. The more we walked through the park, the more surprised we became. Something that we’re used to seeing day after day in the Disney World theme parks was MISSING. [Read more…]
We just tried a delicious take on the classic peanut butter and jelly at Disneyland Resort! Fantasmic! has returned to Disneyland Park and Pixar Fest is in full swing at Disney California Adventure Park. As well, new restaurants including Small Bytes pool bar, Paseo, Centrico, and Tiendita have opened at Disneyland Resort. There is always something new to explore in the parks and that is part of what makes them so special!
Award Wieners
We are in the parks every day, and we are always keeping our eyes peeled for updates, changes, and new food items. And today we are checking out Award Wieners!
We have SO many MORE snacks for you to add to your Disney World tasting list today.

So get your food itineraries out and ready to update!
We’re traveling back to yours, mine, and everybody’s favorite place…the tiny train town in EPCOT!
Back to the village!
This teeny tiny village in the Germany Pavillion is a fun spot for tourists to stand and watch the trains, but the casual visitor may not know that the town is absolutely RIFE with crime! We’ve spotted murders, vandalism, and plenty of shady dealings going on here in the past, and so now I keep an eye on things to let you guys know about all the tomfoolery and shenanigans. Let’s see what this week had in store!
Hi, hello. This is not your regularly scheduled Disney parks fashion recommendation. This is coming from a former Disney World Cast Member who worked six days a week outside in EPCOT in the dead of summer. This is coming from a person who was on their feet — hard concrete, more specifically — for the entire day. As you can imagine, standing outside under the hot Florida sun can take a toll on your body. You need good shoes.
EPCOT
Even if you’re not planning to work as a Disney World Cast Member, you might still want to pack a pair of comfortable shoes for your next trip to Disney World. Trust us — the right pair of shoes can make a WORLD of difference.
We’ve seen some HUGE things coming to Disney Parks all over the world. In the U.S., EPCOT is almost done with a massive transformation.
Peter Pan’s Never Land in Fantasy Springs
In Hong Kong Disney Resort, the World of Frozen just opened an entirely new land. Likewise, a new Zootopia-land just opened recently at Shanghai Disney Resort. Tokyo DisneySea is prepping for the opening of the Fantasy Springs expansion on June 6th, which brings three new lands to the park. But we know more is coming. Disney previously stated it would spend $60 billion on parks and experiences in the next 10 years, but recently, we learned a lot of new projects could open in 2025.
Summer is pretty much here, and things are heating up in Disney World (both literally and figuratively).
Chocolate Tart filled with The Grey Stuff
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open soon, and we just learned we’ll be able to get authentic New Orleans hot sauce and seasonings at Magic Kingdom when the ride opens. We revisited Be Our Guest to get you an honest review of how things are there right now. We also checked out EVERY menu at Disney World restaurants for changes.
Wilderness Explorers: listen up! We’ve got some EXCITING news. Our good friend Kevin here let us in on a little secret. During our recent visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we stopped by to say hello to Kevin. But as she was leaving, we learned that her friend was in the area, too.
Meet Kevin from ‘Up’
As you may have heard, Russell from Up started visiting Discovery Island recently to meet new friends! We stopped by to practice our wilderness calls (and had a BLAST). But there’s another character you can now meet in Animal Kingdom, and he LOVES to talk!
A week after things stayed stable at Walt Disney World, wait times across the resort trended downward over the past 7 days.
Frozen Ever After
Even some of the resort’s most in-demand rides fell slightly this week at 3 out of 4 Walt Disney World parks (we’re throwing a side-eye your way, Animal Kingdom). Also notably, Rise of the Resistance overtook Slinky Dog Dash for the highest average wait time at Hollywood Studios.
We are “Go Left” people in EPCOT’s World Showcase — yep, we’re heading straight to Mexico when we’re planning on drinking around the world (or if we’re just planning to get some of our favorite drinks).
Mexico pavilion in EPCOT
That means our first stop will be at La Cava del Tequila to order up one of our favorite drinks there, except we just discovered that one of those favorite drinks is GONE. Now, we don’t mean to panic because some NEW drinks have also been introduced. Okay, before we start hyperventilating, we’ll tell you what’s going on.
