food IS a theme park
Now that the holidays have arrived in Disney World, we must try ALL of the new holiday treats!
HOLIDAY TREATS!
We’ve noticed that rice krispie treats are starting to get holiday makeovers with the Pecan Pie Rice Krispie Treat, and now a Santa-themed krispie treat has made it’s way to Disney World!
Some of us can’t get enough pumpkin spice in the autumn months. For others, their fall flavor choice is anything apple.

And still others are ALL ABOUT the CANDY… especially that autumn classic, Candy Corn! Though we’re not munching on any candy corn today (…yet 😉 ), we ARE bringing you a Disney confection that’s inspired by it: the Minnie Candy Corn Cupcake! [Read more…]
As we were getting ready to check out all of the Labor Day happenings in Walt Disney World this morning, we took a little detour to Disney’s BoardWalk.
Disney’s BoardWalk
And what’s a stroll on the BoardWalk without a visit to the Boardwalk Bakery? We’re always sure to find something tasty to grab no matter when we stop: breakfast, lunch, or dinner. (And the Bakery’s no slouch when it comes to afternoon snacks, either.) We just so happened to spy something new on our early morning visit today… [Read more…]
Allow me to say “BOO!” to you from Disney World’s BoardWalk Inn!
Disney’s BoardWalk
Why, you ask? Because it’s here at the BoardWalk Bakery counter service location where we’ve spotted the HALLOWEEN Refillable Resort Mug in person for the first time this year! [Read more…]
Disney World’s BoardWalk is a dining, shopping, nightlife, and resort area located near EPCOT in Walt Disney World. The area is inspired by turn-of-the-century boardwalks located on coastal cities like Coney Island and Atlantic City.
The BoardWalk Bakery
And located along the BoardWalk is a small and unassuming bakery that’s always been…you know…fine. It had the odd winner of a cupcake, and one time it had a sandwich called the Butter Butter, which is extra in the best way possible. But overall, The BoardWalk Bakery has always been just fine if you were staying at the BoardWalk Inn, but nothing you really needed to travel to experience.
But since the parks and resorts started to reopen, we’ve been on a mission to see what’s new and what’s missing from our favorite Disney spots. And we’ve been super impressed by what’s been pullin’ us into BoardWalk Bakery so far!
FYI, there are a lot of Disney World acronyms you might run into during your vacation planning!
Walt Disney World
Ever found yourself scouring the web for Disney World info only to come across folks talking about why you should skip SSE first thing in the morning and hit up TT before going to WS?
HUH?!
While some of these shortened terms for Disney rides and concepts are pretty easy to decipher, others might leave you scratching your head, tbh. If you don’t speak this rare and exotic language of Disney-isms, we’re here to help! So, let’s rank 23 of the most common Disney World acronyms from NBD to OMG! And on your next Disney planning foray, you’ll be an EXPERT!
As the Disney World Resort hotels and theme parks continue their phased reopening, Disney’s many transportation systems have reopened generally in-step with the locations they serve.
Friendship Boat
We originally anticipated the Friendship Boats to reopen today, July 29. But when we checked the boat launches, however, we noticed that they are NOT operating!
Disney fireworks (even virtually!) and food seems like the perfect way to spend the Fourth of July today!
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
We’re snacking our way around the Disney Resorts wearing our stretchy shorts (there are just so many good treats)! Although we’ve already fallen in love with SO many red, white, and blue treats like the patriotic Peanut Butter Pie and Fourth of July Cupcake, we’re back at the BoardWalk Bakery for a whole array of festive treats.
Select Walt Disney World resort hotels are open now, and the theme parks are officially reopening on July 11th and July 15th.

But even though the resort is coming back to life, not EVERY experience is open or will be open this summer, including some of our favorite hangout spots, like Jellyrolls.
While it totally feels like each day is being played out on a wacky stage of the bizarre right now, you just can’t make some of THIS STUFF up!
Lucky the Elephant
And if you’ve ever wondered what was up with that big, old-timey looking elephant statue above Disney’s BoardWalk Inn’s fireplace, we’ve got quite the tale for you!
