food IS a theme park
Do you have that one bucket list Disney World restaurant that you WILL dine at someday?
Victoria & Albert’s
For many, that restaurant is Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. This restaurant is ELITE and pricey, but dining there can be a special once-in-a-lifetime experience. Now, we’ve been there several times, so we might be a little biased, but we’re totally not surprised about a new honor this restaurant has been given.
Being a Disney World Annual Passholder comes with plenty of perks that make it all worth it!
Disney World Annual Pass
You get access to the theme parks, free parking, exclusive events, merchandise, discounts, and oh yeah — FREE souvenirs. Chances are you’ve seen a Disney World Annual Passholder magnet when you’ve been on the road or maybe you even have one on your own car. And, while I love collecting these little freebies, I need to warn you about a PROBLEM you’re not expecting.
Disney has dropped some NEW DETAILS on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Earlier this week, Disney presented the family of Leah Chase – the inspiration for the character of Tiana from The Princess and the Frog – with a trip to Walt Disney World, as well as the news that they will be among the first people to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure when it opens this summer. During the ceremony, some new information was revealed about the upcoming experience.
We have exciting news on a NEW attraction coming to Magic Kingdom. And no, we’re not talking about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

Back in 2023, we told you about a new attraction coming to Fantasyland called Smellephants on Parade. Disney described this as an interactive experience that will be a “family-friendly search and sniff adventure in Storybook Circus. Okay…that sounds…interesting, right? The experience will be sponsored, appropriately enough, by Scentsy. We saw that permits had been filed to put the new experience in Magic Kingdom, and now, Disney has given us a FIRST LOOK!
Disney World has so many great options for snacks and meals!
Cinderella Castle
As we say, food is a theme park! From beloved dining spots like ‘Ohana and favorite snacks like corn dog nuggets with plastic cheese from Casey’s Corner, many Disney World foodies can get behind loving these iconic places to eat, but there are some meals that fans can’t stop fighting about. Some snacks and meals are not everyone’s cup of tea, and Disney World has some questionable items on some of their menus.
Whenever I take someone to Disney World who hasn’t been before, the Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance ride is at the TOP of my priority list. It doesn’t matter whether they’re Star Wars fans or not — just the experience of this ride is absolutely incredible!
Rise of the Resistance
If you’re also a huge fan of Rise of the Resistance, you’ve got to see these nine Disney Loungefly bags that we found on Amazon. They’d be PERFECT for your next trip to Galaxy’s Edge! [Read more…]
I’ve dined at quite a few Disney World restaurants for my job, but there’s one that I might love more than the rest.
Homecomin’
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ in Disney Springs has a special place in my heart with its homey feel, its Southern-inspired cuisine, and spectacular service. I’ve dined there several times in the past, and it has even become my go-to spot for a delicious birthday dinner. So when Homecomin’ invited us at DFB to come dine with Chef Art Smith himself for lunch, I was delighted to accept the invitation.
Who’s going to be one of the first to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disney World this summer? The actual family who inspired the Princess and the Frog story!

Disney has made no secret of the fact that hit animated film The Princess and the Frog is based on New Orleans restaurant royalty Chef Leah Chase, the inspiration behind Tiana herself. And Disney just surprised her family with a huge honor!
Okay, everyone stay calm, but we’ve been getting more and more clues EVERY day that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom could get an opening date VERY soon.
Almost there!
Not only did we recently see some Imagineers actually ride-testing Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, but Disney has been dropping more details about the characters and animatronics we’ll be seeing on the ride. However, we think we just got a HUGE clue that we’ll be getting an opening date for the ride ANY DAY NOW.
We’re always on the hunt for the tastiest eats around — whether that’s at Disney World or somewhere else!
McDonald’s
So when we heard a new sandwich was coming to McDonald’s, we knew we had to try it. Sometimes after a long park day, all you really need is some comfort food and the Golden Arches can provide that. So, let’s see if this new sandwich fits the bill!
