food IS a theme park
Valentine’s Day is almost here, and you know what that means — we’re trying ALL the special treats we can find at Disney World!
Sprinkles
And you shouldn’t be surprised that we’re trying a LOT of cupcakes, because Disney’s been churning out Valentine’s Day cupcakes this season. So far, we’ve tried one with a zebra-striped heart AND another one with Simba and Nala on it.
We’ve had so much fun trying out all the fun donut flavors at Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew since it opened last month at Disney Springs!
Everglazed
From a donut grilled cheese (no, really!) to a Nutella Bella Donut to a Girl Scout Thin Mint Donut, we’ve now had our share of some pretty over the top — but amazing — donuts!
The cool thing about collecting Disney drinkware is that things like mugs, glasses, and tumblers are useful!
Be Our Guest and Alice Stemless Wine Glasse
That especially goes with wine glasses — if we’re going to drink a nice red, white, or rosé, why not drink it out of a fun Disney wine glass?
We’re one step closer to Rivers of America being open for guests again!
Rivers of America
Last fall, Rivers of America was completely drained, and Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat closed with it. After Rivers of America was refilled last month, it looks like things are finally getting back to normal! Both the Liberty Square Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island are reopening on February 5th, and now we have even more good news.
We have more refurbishment news to share with you!
EPCOT
We’ve received loads of refurbishment announcements over the last few days! But as a recently redone dining location reopens, another one will be closing.
You might be getting a sugar high from reading about all of the treats that we’ve been trying at Disney Springs in Disney World recently.
Everglazed
Recently we’ve tried the newest cookies (and CAKE) of the month over at Gideon’s Bakehouse and devoured more Dole Whip (duh)! And, now we’re back at the recently opened Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew for more new sweets!
Disney World may no longer offer free MagicBands with resort hotel stays, but there are still plenty of great MagicBand colors and designs to choose from if you want to buy one!
MagicBands
Most recently we saw the Dooney & Bourke Americana MagicBand, along with some new glittery Magicbands, a MagicBand with Mickey-shaped snacks, and a brand new Up MagicBand!
There are a LOT of things that are different about traveling to Walt Disney World right now. You need a Disney Park Pass reservation to even get INTO a theme park, there are very few live shows, character flotillas and cavalcades have replaced traditional meet-and-greets, and so on… .
Character flotilla at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
A LOT of these changes you can plan for well in advance of your trip. You can reserve Park Passes as soon as you know you’re going to Disney World (subject to availability, of course), you can pack extra masks and hand sanitizer to prepare for enhanced health and safety measures, and you can temper expectations knowing you may not get to do EVERYTHING you were once able to enjoy at Disney World.
We have been waiting to eat at Space 220 for a WHILE now.
Mission: SPACE and Upcoming Space 220
This new restaurant coming to EPCOT is set to send guests onto the Centauri Space Station where they’ll enjoy dinner with a view of Earth from SPACE. The restaurant was supposed to open back in 2019, but it has been delayed for a number of reasons. Today we spotted something that might indicate there’s some more progress being made.
We’ve got a treat for you today!
Disney’s Pop Century Resort
We’re exploring one of Disney World’s value resort options so that you can know EXACTLY what to expect when you book a room there. We’ve already brought you a full room tour, but now we’re taking you through pics and video of ALL of Disney’s Pop Century Resort!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
