food IS a theme park
UPDATED December 17, 2024
We could stay an entire week at Disney World and only visit the resorts! But alas with the new year comes new updates and changes to our homes away from home.
Coronado Springs Resort Gran Destino Tower
If you’re visiting Disney World in 2024, you’re going to want to grab your pen to jot down these changes coming to Disney World hotels.
If you’re excited about the holidays in Disney World, we’ve got some BIG news to share with you.

Now, we’ve already seen the holiday decorations going up in Magic Kingdom. We’ve also seen a TON of holiday merchandise in stores. We’re SO ready for the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party — and all the food we’ll eat there. We’re also excited about the Disney World hotel gingerbread displays and we just got a big UPDATE about those.
Anything interesting happen this week in Disney World?
The creamiest mac and cheese!
Okay, yes, we kid, because we know just how much news came in with all the price increases for everything from fireworks dessert parties to parking to Annual Passes and more. We also had a lot of food price increases, too, but believe it or not, we’ve got even MORE menu updates to share with you from the week.
Well, you can say that in 2023 a LOT has been going on with The Walt Disney Company and not all of it has been good.
Cinderella Castle
We’ve seen incredibly long lines, shut-down rides, and unpredictable weather, and those are just some of the things at Disney World, not to mention the larger company. For instance, Disney has had some pretty major project flops this year when thinking about their movies and series. So, let’s go over what’s not been going right for Disney this year.
Planning for your 2024 Disney World trip is no small feat!
Heading to Disney World in 2024?
Listen, we get it. When you’ve got so many things to consider like your dining reservations or navigating Genie+, it can start to feel overwhelming really quickly. That’s what we’re here for. The last thing we want is for you to arrive and be disappointed with your plans. So, let’s talk about your hotel and some of the reasons you might regret staying in certain Disney hotels in 2024.
Dining in Disney is one of our favorite things (obviously, that’s our whole job)!
Skipper Canteen
There are tons of wonderful restaurants to experience around Disney World, Disneyland, and beyond. If you love Disney food as much as we do, then you’re probably just as excited as we are about the new restaurants Disney has announced. Let’s do a quick recap and run through them all!

Are you ready for 2024 in Disney World? Let’s find out!
Are you prepared for the changes coming to Disney World?
There are so many things coming by the end of this year and into the new one — things like returning fireworks shows, park transformations, and hotel makeovers just to name a few. There are also some big things that Disney World is doing for the FIRST time in 2024 — here’s our full list!
Disney’s BoardWalk has seen some changes recently, with even more to come.
Disney’s BoardWalk
When we heard The Cake Bake Shop was coming to Disney World, we were beyond excited! Sweet and savory menus, afternoon tea service, a whimsical atmosphere…who wouldn’t be excited?! So, in preparation for the opening of this new restaurant, we interviewed the owner, Gwendolyn Rogers, and took a look at what the menu and pricing could be. The restaurant was supposed to open in 2023, but now we just got word that is not happening.
How do you start your Disney day?
COFFEE
If enjoying a cup of coffee and a pastry at your hotel before you head to the parks is an important part of your itinerary, you might want to keep reading. A newer coffee shop in Disney World is going through a short closure this week. Don’t let it catch you off guard on your upcoming trip!
Disney World is getting a few NEW restaurants soon, but one spot could become especially popular!
Panko-Crusted Pickle Dog
Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs already operates a kiosk in Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney District and it is home to the controversial PICKLE corn dog (among other unique creations!). But soon this corn dog paradise will be making its way to Disney World and we’ve got some updates!
