food IS a theme park
EPCOT has seen some pretty significant changes over the years!
EPCOT
The park that opened in 1982 is not the same as the one we have today, with a variety of attraction changes, new restaurants, and updates to World Showcase pavilions. But in that time, some places have been “abandoned” or left unused around the park. And we think Disney could turn those spots into some incredible dining locations!
What’s one of the most unfortunate things about being a Disney fan? The fact that it’s EXPENSIVE.

Going on Disney World vacations frequently can add up quick, and each year, things seem to get pricier. We’re no strangers to Disney price increases, but back in October, Disney World announced a BUNCH of them. We’ve rounded up a full list so that you’re prepared going into your next trip!
Did you know that not all Disney World restaurants are Disney restaurants?
Tree of Life
Quite a few restaurants in Disney World are actually run by outside companies. While you’ll find most of these restaurants at Disney Springs, there are also quite a few to be found in the parks, like EPCOT and Animal Kingdom. And recently, I stopped by one of these “non-Disney” spots to do a full review!
While Disney World usually does a good job of letting guests know about potential closures ahead of time, sometimes closures may catch you by surprise.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
If you are headed to Disney’s Animal Kingdom in the upcoming weeks, we have some news for you! There are two snack stands in Disney’s Animal Kingdom that are mysteriously not showing any hours.
The food court at Disney’s Pop Century Resort has been undergoing construction since July, and now we have another update on the progress!

We are getting one step closer to this food court no longer being under construction, so let’s take a look at the current situation!
We’re getting some big additions in EPCOT next year!
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
Test Track will reopen with an entire new theme and look, and a brand-new lounge is coming to Spaceship Earth. We can’t wait to check out that new dining space, but as Disney fans, our team has some demands about what we’d like to see included!
Drink up, me hearties! A new Pirates of the Caribbean tavern is coming to Magic Kingdom and we’re looking forward to coming ashore for some grub.

So far, Disney hasn’t shared too many details about what we can expect from this new lounge, but we do know it will serve drinks and some light bites. What sort of drinks and light bites remains to be seen, but there is one Disney restaurant that might give us an idea!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is now open on the West Coast, and Disneyland is celebrating big!
Tiana’s Palace in Disneyland
For the new ride, we’ve seen lots of fun merchandise and special offerings, but one thing we’re most excited to try is the new menu at Tiana’s Palace. Let’s go check out some new eats!
The holiday celebrations have kicked off in Disney World, and there’s SO much to check out!
Disney World trees are ICONIC
From gingerbread displays to holiday parties to giant Christmas trees and Santa Claus himself, Disney really knows how to jazz up the holiday season! But the celebrations are still coming — in a few weeks, we’ll be kicking off the International Festival of the Holidays at EPCOT.
There is nothing more magical than starting your day with a Mickey waffle!
Mickey waffle!
While Mickey waffles are an iconic Disney World staple and a popular way to start the day, Mickey waffles are not sold everywhere, and to make it even harder, they are only sold at specific times during the day. So, where can you get these delicious golden breakfast staples? Well, we are happy you asked! We compiled a guide to EVERY PLACE where you can get Mickey waffles at Disney World!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
