food IS a theme park
If you’ve been to a Disney World hotel recently, you may have noticed a Hey, Disney! in your hotel room.
Hey Disney!
These are devices that can easily be unplugged if you don’t want to use them inside the room, but the virtual assistant can tell you park hours, read your kids a Disney bedtime story, play trivia with you, and so much more. But did you know your Alexa can also bring some Disney magic into your home?
We have A LOT to look forward to in 2024 at Disney World!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Specifically, over at Magic Kingdom, we are excited about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opening. This new attraction is based on Disney’s The Princess and the Frog (2009) and will take you on a musical adventure with Princess Tiana and Louis as they prepare for a Mardis Gras performance. We’ve been monitoring the construction progress that is being made, and on our recent day at Magic Kingdom, we found quite a few improvements that have been added.
A BIG change might be coming to the McDonald’s menu SOON!
McDonald’s
A McDonald’s burger just might be the perfect “it’s late and I’m hungry and I don’t want to wait for a long meal and also nothing else is open but secretly I wanted junk food anyway” snack. Now, however, our beloved burgers might be getting a pretty serious upgrade! [Read more…]
If you’re an EPCOT fan, then there’s a good chance that you keep up with the seasonal festivals.Â
EPCOT
This year, festivals started to look a little DIFFERENT toward the end of the year. Four never-before-seen booths popped up during the Food and Wine Festival to celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary, and it was announced that the booths would stick around for Festival of the Holidays. The booths kept the same menus… or so we thought.
When it comes to Disney merch, there are some things that we just can’t resist.
Magic Kingdom
For example, we’ve probably got more Minnie ears and spirit jerseys than we can count (we promise we don’t have a problem). And don’t get us started with Loungefly bags. Wait, speaking of Loungefly bags, let’s go over the ones we may or may not already have in our carts.
One of the most fun things to do in the World Showcase at EPCOT is to sample foods from around the world.
China Pavilion in EPCOT
We always find those little gems of snacks from each country, like Jammie Dodgers in the U.K., pizza-flavored chips in Japan (only ONE of our favorite things in that spot), and more. Well, we just found what is traditionally a Japanese treat, mochi, in the China Pavilion. Obviously, we were interested in seeing how it differed from the Japanese version, so we tried it out.
Taking a Disney Cruise? Then, it’s time to learn about a super convenient option for dining aboard another magnificent ship – Disney Wonder!
Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Wonder
Courtesy of Room Service on a Disney cruise, you’ll have the option to dine or snack in your stateroom. When you need some extra relaxation from a busy day touring a port-of-call or you’ve decided to sleep in late, Room Service is available 24 hours a day. And most menu items are INCLUDED in the price of your cruise. We love late night snacks in our Disney cabin, so give it a try!
While this is true of any ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, today we’re taking a look at the kind of eats you can enjoy from the comfort of your Disney Wonder stateroom. [Read more…]
Love desserts? If so, you might find yourself in a smidge bit of trouble in Disney World…because that place is FILLED with sweets.
Disney Springs
Just in the past few months we’ve eaten cakes, cookies, ice cream treats, and so much more. There’s always something sugary and delicious to snack on in the parks, resorts, or Disney Springs! And recently, we stopped by one popular dessert spot because their holiday treats were simply too adorable to resist.
We’ve finally got an UPDATE on the new Disney Vacation Club Cabins at Fort Wilderness Resort.
Fort Wilderness
Earlier this year, Disney broke the news that the Cabins at Fort Wilderness would be getting a makeover. So far, Disney hasn’t shared much else about the project, but now we have an important update.
Animal Kingdom is not typically the park that immediately comes to mind when you think about Disney World.
Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom
However, it is many people’s favorite park, especially kids’, because of all the animals and genuine beauty of nature you can feel in the theme park.
You can visit the Tree of Life Garden in Animal Kingdom!
One thing a lot of us overlook at Animal Kingdom, though, is its food. It has great rides and shows, that are well-known, but people don’t often talk about the food. Well, we’re not those people, because Animal Kingdom has some AMAZING food options. But out of its 33 different dining options, there are FIVE that stand out to us the most.
