food IS a theme park
Get ready for MORE holiday deals!
Magic Kingdom
Now that we’ve made our way into December, holiday deals are beginning. It’s time to get started on that holiday shopping if you haven’t already. We’re celebrating this month with some Disney deals! Let’s get shopping!
Disney World is constantly evolving.
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
This year was big for the theme park! We got a new thrill ride, a Moana-themed attraction, tons of EPCOT transformation updates, and more. But, 2024 is around the corner and even MORE things are coming. Let’s take a look at what Disney has promised for the upcoming year.
Buy park tickets. Book a hotel room. Make dining reservations. Arrange transportation from the airport to Disney World. Figure out Genie+, rope drop, Lightning Lanes, Mobile Order, Mobile Checkout, Park Pass Reservations…sometimes it feels like everything you have to do to plan a Disney World vacation just keeps piling up on top of you!
Cinderella Castle
You can plan a Disney World trip all on your own, but here’s the thing — you don’t HAVE to! We’ve got one super awesome tip that’ll make planning your upcoming vacation at least 10 times less stressful. [Read more…]
EPCOT has been undergoing a lengthy transformation for what feels like FOREVER.
Construction Walls
Yep, it’s been years since we’ve seen the park in all her wall-less glory. Walls have protected the behind-the-scenes construction of an enhanced World Celebration as well as the addition of Communicore Hall and Plaza — where future festivals will take place.
BUT we learned in November that the EPCOT transformation will be COMPLETE in December, and among the first to open will be the World Celebration Gardens and Walt Disney Statue — set to open to the public on December 5th — in honor of Walt’s birthday. Well, we were fortunate enough to take a lil’ peek at the statue and gardens via a media event, and we just had to share some IMPORTANT info regarding these gardens!Â
What an incredible morning! We got the chance to go behind the walls in EPCOT to watch the dedication of the NEW World Celebration Gardens and Walt the Dreamer Statue!
Walt the Dreamer Unveiling
A little background for ya: you know how for the past, like, four years you haven’t been able to see the center of EPCOT because construction walls were up everywhere? Well, we are finally coming to the END of a long, hard road my friends, and EPCOT is starting to open back up!
EPCOT has undergone LOTS of changes!
Over the years, we’ve gotten to try out Connections Eatery and the Creations Shop, rode (and gotten sick…and then rode again) Cosmic Rewind, and journeyed through water with Moana. But, today, a brand new part of EPCOT was dedicated and we’ve got all the details.Â
It’s no secret that we love Disney food. It’s right there IN OUR NAME. Maybe that makes us a little biased, but we think Disney food can be some of the best in the world (and no, we won’t be taking any questions).
Keg and Compass on Disney Wish
We could also point out that Disney World has a wine bar run by a Master Sommelier (and that is a HUGE distinction). Oh, and two Disney World restaurants have been recognized by Michelin Guide — you can’t scoff at that. But when it comes to Disney Cruise Line, APPARENTLY, we could be a little wrong about the food (no, we’re not).
We’re sailing on the Disney Dream this week for a Very Merrytime Cruise on Disney Cruise Line.
Vanellope’s Sweets and Treats
We’ve already given you a tour of Disney Cruise Line’s new port which we sailed out of, shown you photos from a brand new holiday show (with SNOAP!), and even shared Mickey and Minnie’s new holiday looks for the occasion! Well, now, we’re about to do what we do best — EAT. We’re heading to Vanellope’s Sweets and Treats Shop to try out some very merry new snacks.Â
Whether you’ve had a tough day or week or are getting ready to start a new week, we can all use a little good news.
Mickey and Pals at Cinderella Castle
But some Disney good news can be magical. We’re here today, to share a little cheer and pixie dust!
The Thanksgiving weekend crowds have left Disney World, and we’re now heading into the holidays!
Christmas tree made of ham and cheese — OH YEAH
Granted, the holidays started WELL before Thanksgiving in Disney World, but you know what we mean! So let’s talk about food. Now, we’re a little disappointed that Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs won’t be opening in Disney World until 2024. But the hot chocolate flight we recently had made us feel better. Now, though, let’s look at restaurant menu changes in Disney World, because those are ALWAYS happening, no matter what.
We go to Disney World every day, and yeah, we ride some pretty thrilling rides.
TRON Lightcycle / Run
NOOOOO…we’re not talking about “it’s a small world,” although some of y’all might call it a scary ride. But we’ve taken multiple rides on Tower of Terror, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and TRON Lightcycle / Run.
But, there’s an experience going on in New York City right now that we might just say “no,” to.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
