food IS a theme park
Well, it’s been another week in Disney World, just basically eating our way around, well, EVERYTHING.
Grand Marnier Orange Slush
This week saw more Easter snacks popping up (so of course, we’re trying them) PLUS the Easter Egg displays are now up at the hotels (and you should TOTALLY check them out if you’re around). Disney World restaurant menus have changed this week, too, so let’s check out those updates.
Okay, some Disney snacks are just CLASSICS and you have to get them every single trip. We’re talking about those salty Mickey Pretzels (yes, with plastic CHHHHEEEESEEE) and Corn Dug Nuggets (aka Mini Corn Dogs) from Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom.

However, the most ICONIC classic Disney World snack just might be the Pineapple DOLE Whip. Now, you can pick up DOLE Whip in several spots throughout Disney World, but now you can get DOLE Whip at an unexpected spot: at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort. Yep, DOLE Whip is officially available at Disney’s All-Star Resorts!
We have some important Disney World food news to share with you! A Disney World hotel restaurant is closing this week for refurbishment.
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
We don’t want you to be excited to dine on the restaurant’s Buttery Pull-apart Rolls, Baked Fish, or House-made Coconut-Pineapple Bread Pudding only to find out that it is currently closed! We have all the details you need to know.
Hello from (sometimes) sunny Florida! We’ve been at Disney World all week just checking up on things and eating all the food (so normal week for us).
Cheers!
That includes a new treat from The Cake Bake Shop, getting ready to eat ALL the Easter snacks that will be hitting Disney World soon, revisiting one of our favorite restaurants in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and trying three Disney Springs restaurants AT ONCE (because that’s how we roll). We also kept an eye on Disney World restaurant menus this week, and we’ve got some changes to report.
Now that two Disney World attractions, Gran Fiesta Tour and Kali River Rapids, are finally open again, apparently, that means another attraction needs to close.

An iconic Disney World attraction is closing THIS week! While many people may not actually miss this attraction, seeing it close for good is still bittersweet.

We are always updating you on the latest Disney World news and closures, and this week, we have some exciting news to share. Two Disney World attractions are reopening, and we are so excited!
Disney World is full of surprises, and sometimes, those surprises come in the form of unexpected purchases.
Magic Kingdom
No matter how much planning you do, there are always little things that can make or break your day. Some purchases in Disney World may seem like unnecessary (and overpriced) luxuries, but when you’re in the middle of a long, hot park day, they can be total lifesavers. Here are a few things we never thought we’d buy in Disney World, but they made our day so much better.
I’m about to suggest something so wild that it just might make perfect sense.
Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that not all Disney World hotels are equal — otherwise, they’d all cost the same. We have our favorites and ones we generally think people should avoid, but we’re throwing all that out the window. In fact, we’re suggesting Disney World first-timers stay at some of the WORST-rated Disney World hotels. Here’s why…
We don’t know about you, but getting a good deal on our Disney World hotel room is almost the best part of our whole trip… almost.

We’ve done TONS of research and tried every hack in the book to find the most savings when staying at Disney World hotels since they can be pricey. By now, we thought we’d tried them all, but we found one that can score you a Disney World hotel for under $100 a night. And the trick is… not booking directly with Disney World.
Choosing to stay at a Disney World hotel provides numerous perks that can help make your vacation better! You can take advantage of a complimentary day at a Disney World water park on your check-in day, enjoy extra time in the park with Early Entry, get free parking at the theme parks, and utilize free Disney transportation.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
In addition to all of the perks, Disney World hotels offer a variety of amenities, including dining and shopping options and pools. It feels wonderful to take a dip in the pool after a long day at the theme parks. While several hotels are still undergoing pool refurbishments, one hotel’s pool has finally been reopened!
