And Ballast Point delivers another first as well, as this the very first onsite brewery — complete with a tasting room, a kitchen, and an outdoor beer garden — in the Downtown Disney District.

Ooh, we love a burger and fries from D-Luxe Burger in Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs, and now the casual dining spot has added two limited time menu items!

By 7 Comments

Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe

in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is a guest favorite. It’s here you’ll find burgers, chicken, and the occasional limited time offering (like these funky Galaxy Fries and the lauded Pork Belly Burger)! But the popular quick service spot is currently undergoing a refurbishment — partially.

Over the years, though, it’s gone from a GREAT deal at $20, to an OK deal at $32. However, during our time today in Epcot, we learned from Cast Members that the wine walk may have been discontinued.  [Read more…]

The Orange County Register states that this news is “according to observers and people who say it happened to them.”

Breaking: Disney World Switches to Date-Based Ticket Pricing. Find Out How It Affects YOU!

By 116 Comments

Disney World will be moving to date-based pricing for theme park tickets starting October 16, 2018. This means that tickets will be priced differently depending on the day you visit.

  • Assign each individual calendar day a specific ticket price (each day will reflect a different price based on various factors like crowd levels)
  • Use an interactive calendar for ticket purchasing, and to show guests the highest and lowest ticket prices within a given month or year
  • Offer guests the option to upgrade to a ticket with a “flexible start date” for an added cost.

How To Purchase Disney World Tickets Using The New Date-Based Pricing System:

Starting October 16th, guests wishing to purchase Disney World tickets will be able to access the new system via DisneyWorld.com or the My Disney Experience app.
