food IS a theme park
EPCOT has undergone a massive multi-year transformation that will soon be complete.
EPCOT
CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza are set to open on June 10th, and that should signal the last of the big construction left in EPCOT — for now, at least. CommuniCore Hall will host a Mickey and Friends meet-and-greet, but today, we noticed something else is coming to the building: a new food spot. SAY WHAT?
We’ve got a few ideas that could MAJORLY improve the food courts at Disney World hotels!
Everything POP Food Court Seating
As much as we love splurging on a fancy bucket list meal in Disney World, sometimes we just don’t have the time — or budget — to spend on a table service experience. That’s where the food courts at Disney World hotels come in handy. But as convenient as these spots can be, we still have a few suggestions that would be serious GAME CHANGERS for Disney World food courts!
Are you planning a Disney vacation? There may be one thing you haven’t thought about yet.
Amazon Box
You’re going to need a park bag to carry your necessities in! You’ll want something lightweight, easy to carry around, but also pretty secure. Whether your goal is function or fashion or both, we’ve found your next park bag on Amazon. To quote, Maui, you’re welcome!
One thing’s for sure: People love the Polynesian Village Resort in Disney World.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
And really, what’s not to love (besides the room rates, perhaps)? The Monorail can take you directly from the Polynesian Village to the Magic Kingdom — or you can ride (or walk easily!) to the Transportation and Ticket Center to catch the EPCOT monorail. There are beloved restaurants here like ‘Ohana and Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto. You can get one of our favorite Disney World meals — Pulled Pork Nachos — at Capt. Cook’s. And the beach at the Polynesian is a favorite place to watch Magic Kingdom fireworks from outside of the park. But some recent news from Disney has been shocking to fans of the Polynesian Village Resort — let’s get into it.
We have eaten EVERYWHERE in Disney World, but that doesn’t stop us from continuing to review Disney World restaurants. We are constantly revisiting restaurants to make sure we are always providing the best information for your next trip!
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
Today we are heading over to Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, to revisit a restaurant focused on New England comfort food, Ale & Compass. Let’s get to it!
Y’all…we get STOKED when we spot a unique Disney World treat out in the wild. Yes, that means we’re going to make a BEELINE to those restaurants that are offering new and different snacks because WE HAVE TO TRY THEM OUT, obviously.
Creature Comforts
Most recently, we practically ran to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to try a POG Mimosa (for obvious reasons!). Then there was that Croissant Cookie from Disney’s Contemporary Resort that we just learned existed (and we’ll be back for more). Well, we just learned about an ADORABLE snack at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and we grabbed it as soon as we could!
Pixar Fest is in full swing in Disneyland, and we couldn’t be happier!
Pixar Fest is here!
While there are tons of exciting offerings to explore in the parks, Pixar Place Hotel is also joining in on the fun! We got news on the new concierge lounge opening later this year, but if you’re a big fan of Pixar films, there’s something ELSE going on this summer you won’t want to miss!
It’s almost here! Can you believe that it’s almost the start of Halloween in Disney World?
It’s really not so scary!
Some people might think starting Halloween in August is a little too early, but you’re not one of them (neither are we)! We’re already feeling the spooky vibes and can’t wait for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom! This special event requires a separate ticket for entry, and this year, it takes place on select nights from August 9th through October 31st. But, we wanted to talk about which are the two BEST party dates! Let’s go!
Finding the best souvenirs to take back home with you from Disney World can feel like a never-ending search. So, sometimes you just need to get a little inventive!
Goofy!
Sometimes, the souvenirs you can buy in stores just aren’t our style or can get really expensive — merchandise adds up quickly. That’s why we decided to test out our own version of a souvenir idea and we think it might have been one of our best ideas yet! [Read more…]
It’s time to head to your local Aldi! A BUNCH of new Disney souvenirs have popped up on Aldi’s “new items” page, and we can’t wait to find them at the store.

Although we love shopping for merch at the gift shops in Disney World, sometimes the items there can be just a little too pricey. That’s why we love finding cheap Disney items at places like Aldi! Check out these five new items that should be coming to stores soon. [Read more…]
