food IS a theme park
Ready, set, go, Disneyland runners!
2025 Disneyland Half Marathon
runDisney has announced the highly-anticipated themes for the 2025 Half Marathon Weekend, and we’ve got all the info you need to plan your perfect runDisney weekend!. The events, scheduled for the weekend of January 30th through February 2nd, 2025 will feature numerous events including a 5K, a 10K, and a Half Marathon.
For months now, Disney has been talking about expanding Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Dinoland U.S.A.
In particular, the talks have been about demolishing Dinoland U.S.A., a usually empty part of Animal Kingdom currently (with the exception of the Dinosaur attraction), and turning it into the Tropical Americas. However, very little has been announced about WHEN this change is expected to take place. Looking back at Disney World’s past park expansions, here’s when we may expect to see it take place, from start to finish.
No matter how many times we say we don’t need more Disney merch, a sale will almost always stop us in our tracks. It’s true!
Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom
The Disney Store often has great sales that allow us to snag awesome souvenirs for only a fraction of the cost. Whether you’re stocking up on things to wear before your Disney World vacation, or you’re hoping to snag that souvenir that you passed up on in the parks, the Disney Store has ya covered!
Do you know what our number one tip for Disney World in the summer is? Stay hydrated!
Don’t forget your free water
It gets really toasty and really humid in Disney World during those summer months, and that means you’ll be sweating left, right, and center! To keep yourself from getting dehydrated, you’ll want to make sure you’re drinking as much water as you can. Many people choose to bring their own bottles to the parks, but if you forget to pack one, there’s another solution!
OK, Disney Adults. Today, we’re specifically talking about Millennials. If you grew up with the Disney Channel and watched classic movies like Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and Toy Story as a kid, you need to listen up.
Target
Now that you’re all grown up and have adult money, you can go to Target whenever you please. That’s also great news for your inner child because Target and Amazon have some SUPER fun souvenirs you have to see.

We LOVE to chat about Disney World snacks. I mean, even if we didn’t literally get paid to chat about Disney World snacks, we’d still do it all day every day.
Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom
Here at Disney Food Blog, we report on all the new snacks in the parks, but there are some snacks that we keep crawling back for again and again. Within those snacks that always seem to be calling our name are snacks that literally make us want to jump for joy and cry happy tears. You wanna jump for joy and cry happy tears too? Well, keep on reading, pal.
Disneyland recently got not just one, but THREE new restaurants, all with menus by Michelin-starred chef Carlos Gaytán.
Downtown Disney
So we were very excited when we got to try out these new dining spots in Downtown Disney. We are so happy to be able to get street tacos at Tiendita, we went NUTS over our meal at Paseo, and we found one of our favorite burgers at Centrico. Well, we’ve got some big news about one of those locations, and we’re sharing that news with you.
The Magic Kingdom is about to grow…
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Earlier this year, after of rumors, whispers, and blue sky concept art, Disney confirmed that a massive expansion is coming to the Magic Kingdom, specifically “beyond Big Thunder.” What does that mean exactly? Let’s dive in!
In just a few months, we’ll be experiencing EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival once again!
EPCOT Food and Wine Festival 2023
We can’t wait to hear more about the booths and menu items that will be returning to this year’s festival, but in the meantime, if you’re planning a trip later this year to visit during the festival, we’ve got the list of the BEST hotels to stay at to make sure you’re close to the park!
Yes, it’s been nearly a year and a half since Disney’s Magical Express Service ended. And yes, we’re still just a tad bitter about it.
Gone but not forgotten🥲
The Magical Express provided a free way to get from the airport to your Disney World hotel — and you didn’t even have to pick up your baggage at the airport baggage claim. It just “magically” showed up at your hotel. Now you have to pay to get to your hotel — either by rideshare, taxi, a shuttle bus, or a rental car. And that’s why we were SO EXCITED when a new public bus route made it easier to get from Disney World to the Orlando Airport (and vice versa) for the fare of just $2 each.
But that bus route? Well, it isn’t *quite* the hack you may think it is. Let’s get into it!
