food IS a theme park
It seems like there’s an endless amount of new food to dig into around Disney World…and we’re not complaining.Â
EPCOT Food & Wine Festival 2022
You can find 2022 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival eats and seasonal summer offerings — with menu additions sprinkled into the mix. So today, we bit into one of the newer menu additions at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Visiting Disney World soon?
EPCOT
There are tons of things happening at the parks. From the upcoming EPCOT Food & Wine Festival to the return of character dining at 3 more locations, things are constantly changing! If you’re going to Disney World next week, keep reading to see everything you need to know!
Amid the glitz and the glitter of a bustling Hollywood Studios, the Tower of Terror is a star in its own right.
Tower of Terror
The attraction can boast some of the longest wait times in Disney World, as it’s extremely popular among fans. With that in mind, we were pretty bummed to see it wasn’t included in the Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction Collection. However, thanks to Loungefly, we just got a pair of ears that will bring us a taste of…The Twilight Zone.Â
You never know what’s gonna happen at Disney World, and we’ve come to expect the unexpected!
Tower of Terror
From ride closures, to crowds, to wait times, to weather, you should be prepared for whatever might come your way in Disney World! Sometimes, your favorite ride closes unexpectedly, and you can’t do anything about it. This Hollywood Studios ride has seen a lot of closures lately, and we got some more details!
We’re here with the latest in all things Disney food!Â

Disney World has seen a lot of menu changes and new food lately! One Disney World resort just got brunch every day of the week, buffets are returning to Hollywood & Vine in Hollywood Studios, and we tried all of the new food at 50’s Prime Time Cafe. With even more new Disney food on the way, we want to bring you all the latest updates, including a revamped menu at this Hollywood Studios spot!Â
Looking for the source of Disney magic? We’ll let you in on a little secret…it’s the Cast Members!
Cast Members are the BEST!
They go above and beyond to keep the magic alive every single day. We’ve seen their hard work rewarded with things like Cast Member compliments, exclusive events, and even fun competitions! And we wanted to highlight Disney World’s amazing Cast Members by asking our readers to share their favorite Cast Member interactions at Disney World restaurants!
One of Hollywood Studios’ most iconic rides is the Tower of Terror!

Recently, this ride has seen some super high wait times. 150 minute waits for this ride are way more common than we want them to be. Apart from summer crowds, another reason the waits have been so high is because only half of the ride is working!
It’s hard keeping up with everything happening in Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
We just got a ton of new holiday announcements, including these unique Pixar ears, new rooms opened at the Grand Floridian Resort, Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue reopened at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort, and there’s a new menu in EPCOT’s France pavilion! Things are constantly changing in Disney World, so let’s go over everything you need to know if you’re going to the parks next week!
Disney’s Star Wars themed cookie sandwich, the Wookiee Cookie, is beloved by many (including us!).
Wookiee Cookie!
This Oatmeal Cookie with cream filling has been satisfying guests at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Backlot Express since 2019. Since then, it’s also made an appearance in Disneyland! We love the Wookiee Cookie, but when we went to Hollywood Studios in the summer of 2022, we noticed something a little different.
Slowly, but surely, many experiences have returned to the Disney parks. Nighttime shows like the Main Street Electrical Parade, Disneyland Forever, and World of Color have returned to Disneyland Resort, and things like the Harmony Barber Shop, the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, and the popular Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue are preparing to open soon.
Fantasmic! Billboard
Another popular nighttime show is Fantasmic! This show has already returned to Disneyland, and while we know that it will be returning to Disney World this year, Disney has not shared an exact opening date yet. Progress is being made, however, and today we’re sharing an updated look at this space!
