Disney World Survey Asks Guests About FastPass+, Extra Magic Hours, and More

By 13 Comments

Disney World has been experiencing larger crowds in the parks recently. And we’re starting to see a few changes already!

Magic Kingdom

Disney has brought back some of the amazing seasonal entertainment we all know and love, more restaurants and dining kiosks are opening, and each day seems to bring more news of extended hours for the parks.

As these changes are taking place, Disney continues to survey guests to find out what’s important and not important to visitors to determine what future changes they need to implement. They want to know more about guests, including what services and experiences will entice them to come back, and what will keep them away.

REVIEW: This EPCOT Restaurant Has Stood the Test of Time and is STILL One of the Best!

By 7 Comments

While we’ve been exploring multiple quick-service and table-service restaurants around Disney World, it’s always important to return to an old favorite. We do this to make sure we have the most updated experience possible to share with you as you’re making your dining decisions for Disney World!

Garden Grill Restaurant

Garden Grill Restaurant has practically been a staple at EPCOT’s Land Pavilion since the theme park first opened — back when it was known as the Good Turn Restaurant and later the Land Grille Room. With its rotating dining room and great home-cooked food (some of which is grown right in the pavilion!) it makes us feel like we’re having Thanksgiving year-round. It’s also a super fun character dining experience.

Last month, we learned about a MAJOR update coming to select Disney World Table Service Restaurants. We then noticed that the My Disney Experience app had added Mobile Order to one of our favorite table service spots, Sanaa at Animal Kingdom Lodge!

Olivia’s Cafe

Since then, we’ve noticed two more restaurants pop up with the Mobile Order Table Service To Go feature: Kona Cafe at Disney’s Polynesian Resort and The Wave…of American Flavors at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. But now it looks like another restaurant will be getting the feature soon, too!

Whether you’re snagging a Dole Whip or treating yourself to as many Mickey treats as your heart desires, Mobile Order is the real MVP when it comes to getting yourself a quick snack in the parks.

Kona Cafe

Recently, Disney has decided to extend Mobile Order to select table-service restaurants in the parks and resorts. Until today, Sanaa was the only place you can get food to-go from a table-service location. But, it looks like you’ll be able to enjoy more of your favorite table-service eats and treats without having to stop and dine at the restaurants!

The Force Is Calling! Star Wars Legacy Lightsabers Are Officially Available Outside of the Parks in Disney World!

By 7 Comments

While some of us may have a pretty expansive collection of Minnie Ears, Star Wars fans might have a growing stock of lightsabers for BOTH the Light and the Dark Sides.

Lightsabers!

Although you can head to places like Savi’s Workshop in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to build your own, custom lightsaber, other places in Batuu like Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities feature pre-made Legacy Lightsabers instead. These non-customizable lightsabers allow guests to become one with the Force carrying around the sabers of heroes and villains like Kylo Ren, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Mace Windu and more!
