food IS a theme park
Some big hotel changes are coming to Disney World!
Disney’s Swan and Dolphin Resorts
We’re constantly seeing Disney Resorts get renovations, whether on rooms, the lobby, or restaurants. And recently, a BIG update was announced for the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. The 3-hotel complex will be getting new convention center space, technological updates, and some renovated rooms!
Blizzard Beach is BACK!

Walt Disney World’s water park themed as a ski resort slowly melting in the Florida sun recently reopened after its annual refurbishment. In addition to iconic attractions like Summit Plummet, guests at the park will also be able to try out some NEW food offerings. But are they worth it? We found out!
We test out a TON of Disney World park essentials here at the Disney Food Blog.
Magic Kingdom
Not only do these essentials help us out day to day while we’re on the job bringing you the latest updates, but we love testing them out so that you can be prepared on your Disney World trips, too! But, one item we tried out didn’t quite work as well as we had hoped, and it immediately made us regret all that complaining we’ve done about ponchos!
We’ve finally made it, friends!
Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin
EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival started in late August and will continue through November 23rd, but did you know there’s another Food and Wine event in Disney World? Over at the Swan and Dolphin Resorts on Disney World property, you can find the Food & Wine Classic. This is a 2-day event, and we got a sneak peek before it starts!
One of Disney’s beloved holiday traditions is returning!
Disneyland Candy Cane
Over the nearly seven decades that Disneyland has been open, countless holiday traditions have become part of the fabric of the resort. From the Festival of the Holidays to the Candlelight Processional to iconic holiday decorations and attraction overlays, the “Happiest Place on Earth” defines Christmas for many. Now, we know exactly when one of Disneyland’s SWEETEST holiday offerings will be available in 2024.
We’re less than two months away from 2025, and that means a lot of changes are right around the corner.
Magic Kingdom
On top of the usual events and opportunities Disney World offers throughout the year, 2025 is bringing loads of construction and new attractions to the parks (or at least, laying the groundwork for them). If you’re taking a trip this upcoming year, make sure you’ve got these dates locked into your head to assist with your planning!
Magical, luxurious… creepy?
Eek
There are many words one can use to describe Disney World’s hotels. The near-30 resorts that dot the resort’s property have themes ranging from a Polynesian resort to bygone New Orleans to a turn-of-the-19th-century Florida beach resort. However, some of them have an… unintentional theme of being downright creepy thanks to some head-scratching additions.
SURPRISE!
Frozen Holiday Surprise
A fan-favorite Disney Holiday show just announced a SURPRISE early return date for the 2024 Holiday season at Disney World! Frozen Holiday Surprise is returning to the Magic Kingdom… TODAY, November 5th!
Let me tell you a little story about my last trip to Disney World. I landed at Orlando International Airport, and as soon as my feet hit that iconic green carpet, I knew what I had to do. I had to get myself to Disney World!
Orlando International Airport
Now, several years ago, I used to be able to stroll right down to the Disney Magical Express zone, hop on a bus, and go straight to my Disney resort…for FREE. Yeah, that’s not a thing anymore (shocker). Instead, you’re on your own, people. YOU decide how you’re getting from the Orlando Airport (or any airport in the area) to Disney World. I recently tested two of the most popular options, Mears Connect and Uber, and I’m here to give you my honest thoughts on both services.
The DisneyEats souvenir collections have been some of the cutest sets of Disney items we’ve ever seen.

We’ve seen items themed to churros, Dole Whip, candy apples, and shaved ice, and they’ve all been adorable! As we head into the Christmas season, Disney has just released another new Disney Eats collection that we’re in love with. Say “hello” to the gingerbread collection!
