food IS a theme park
It’s an end of an era. The 50th Anniversary Celebration is ending.
Mickey and Minnie 50th Character Statues
It started on October 1, 2021, and we have celebrated 50 years of Disney World for the last 18 months. For the celebration we got a lot of 50th decorations around the parks, new snacks themed for the 50th, new nighttime shows and so much more. Because the celebration is coming to an end, there are some things that you might never see in Walt Disney World again!
We’re just partway done with 2023, and it has already been a MASSIVE year for Disney World.

There is so much to see in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but did you know there’s even more that you CAN’T see?
Welcome to Animal Kingdom!
Animal Kingdom is the largest Disney World park, even though many people feel it’s a half-day park with its lack of attractions. But most of the park’s square mileage is all the land for the animals to roam. While you can see lots of it taking the train to and from Rafiki’s Planet Watch and on Kilimanjaro Safaris, there’s so much left unseen at Animal Kingdom, and we just found out a secret we never knew!
With the end of the 50th Anniversary on March 31st, Disney has been slowly phasing out some snacks that were initially introduced to celebrate that occasion. We’ve seen some snacks disappear altogether, while others are “replaced” by very similar offerings (generally the exact same snack without special 50th decorations).
Let’s celebrate!
We recently saw that one of our favorite 50th treats has gone MISSING in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but there’s now a new treat on the menu to take its place. Come with us to find out whether this dinosaur-themed delight is as good as the treat we’ve lost. [Read more…]

UPDATE: This Annual Passholder popcorn bucket has been extended and is now available until May 31st, 2023!
