food IS a theme park
Disney just loves keeping us on our toes, and this latest surprise is no exception!
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana
EPCOT’s newest attraction, Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana, has soft-opened ahead of its official opening date and of course, we had to check it out. During previews for Journey of Water, we found out that Disney would be using a Virtual Queue based on demand — so what’s going on now that the attraction is (unofficially) open?
Now that we’ve turned the corner for October, it’s officially spooky season and with it, we have new treats!
Not-So-Poison Apple
Come with us to try SIX new, Halloween-themed treats in Disney World. The best thing about these treats? You don’t need a park ticket to get them — they’re all located at Disney World’s hotels!

Well, the time has come. The Star Wars Hotel is officially closed. Throughout its short run, we saw a lot of discourse about the price, value, and concept of this experience, and since the closure announcement, we’ve heard a LOT of speculation about what could replace the hotel.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
Pretty much everyone we ask has their own ideas about what Disney should do with the space. Could Imagineers go BIG and gut the entire building? Could they try to save some money and make a few small changes? We still don’t know! But there’s one thing we do know: Disney has a big, empty building and a team of some of the most creative people out there, so the transformation possibilities are endless. While we wait for an official announcement about the fate of the Star Wars Hotel building, let’s talk about what we think Disney could do with the space.Â
Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs is in its ELEMENT during the entire month of October. For one thing, it’s Halloween season, and Halloween and Gideon’s Bakehouse go together like milk and cookies. But October is also the official birthday month of Gideon’s Bakehouse. Happy birthday, Gideon’s!
Gideon’s Bakehouse
So, what can we all do to celebrate October in Disney Springs this month? Well, the fall menu has ARRIVED at Gideon’s Bakehouse, and we’re SUPER excited to see some returning favorites back this year.Â
If you, like us, love a little sweet treat in the middle of your day, you NEED to visit Salt & Straw in Disney Springs. Don’t let the “Salt” in Salt & Straw fool you — this ice cream shop has plenty of rich, sweet flavors to choose from.
Salt & Straw
Of course, Salt & Straw offers a few classic ice cream flavors, but if you’re feeling adventurous, we dare you to check out some of the unique seasonal flavors this October. Wait until you see the full list of special flavors for the fall season…

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
Disney is sending us on a wild goose chase for pumpkins — and we’re loving every second of it.
EPCOT
For Halloween this year, Disney is celebrating in all our favorite ways! There are plenty of decorations to admire and (of course) snacks to try, and the beloved Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is back again this year! Now it’s time for a returning scavenger hunt to make its way to EPCOT — who’s ready to look for PUMPKINS in EPCOT?
Change can be hard, especially when it comes to your favorite snacks and drinks.
Swan and Dolphin Hotels
Disney World has a long-standing partnership with Coca-Cola, which you can see at several places throughout the theme parks, especially at one of our favorite EPCOT stops, Club Cool. There’s also a whole multi-story building dedicated to having the ultimate Coca-Cola experience at Disney Springs, sipping sodas from a scenic rooftop. So if you’re a Pepsi products fan visiting Disney World, surrounded by Coca-Cola everywhere, is there any hope for getting Pepsi anywhere? [Read more…]

Beep beep! We’re pulling up to share an update on the parking situation in Disney World. We don’t know about you, but when it comes to driving around Disney World, we like to know the parking rules ahead of time so we don’t get turned away or caught paying extra for a parking spot.
Disney Springs
