food IS a theme park
Anytime Disney World announces new eats and more, it’s reason enough to celebrate.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
But, when those new eats happen to be coming to a seriously underrated park, that’s even MORE reason to celebrate. Earth Month is coming up soon and Disney is celebrating the best way they know how — with new snacks!
Listen, it can be a CHALLENGE to survive Disney World without any caffeine!
Shaken espresso
We’re constantly on the lookout for opportunities to drink Starbucks or Joffrey’s coffee or have a Diet Coke along with our meals in the parks. It’s what’ll keep you going when you’re on day six of your vacation and you’re running on magic and fumes! And if you’re visiting Starbucks in the Disney Parks on your next trip, we’ve got a little secret you might want to know.
Y’all — it’s almost time! Yes, the EPCOT Festival of the Arts is still going on. BUT The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival will start SOON — on February 28th.
2023 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
In other words, the NEW festival will be here before you know it. We’re already seeing some of the gorgeous topiaries and kiosks for the festival going up in EPCOT. We also have the full list of performances for the Garden Rocks concert series. But most importantly, we have the FULL menus for all the food booths! Now that we’ve had a chance to look over those menus, though, we’re even more excited because some of our FAVORITE snacks are back!
It’s a new year, and that means it’s time for new foods, merchandise, and entertainment from the EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts! We’ve been eating and drinking our way around EPCOT and checking out all the best (and worst) foods this year!
Connections Eatery
The 2024 EPCOT Festival of the Arts has officially begun, and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food studios with tasty items, shows and artistic performances to watch, souvenirs to grab (of course), and even an art-inspired food stroll to complete. But don’t let it overwhelm you — we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to one spot in particular — the Connections Cafe & Eatery — to give you the FULL scoop! Is the festival offering here worth a try? Let’s find out!
When it comes to drinking around the world, most of us “start left” at EPCOT’s World Showcase and head straight to the Mexico Pavilion.
La Cava del Tequila
There’s a good reason for that, though. Mexico is home to La Cava del Tequila, a bar that’s so popular even celebrities often frequent this spot. Some celebrities have even created special drinks for the bar. Well, we’re trying a NEW drink from La Cava del Tequila, and this one even snuck in a Breaking Bad reference.Â
The holidays have taken OVER Disney World, especially at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Ollie the Gingerbread Man at Jollywood Nights!
The decorations are up, the holiday merchandise is out, and the first Jollywood Nights party has finally happened. This is an all-new special ticketed event in Disney World, and we were so excited to check it out. However, we were even MORE excited to check out all the FOOD at Jollywood Nights. So now we’re taking on some drinks!
A lot of exciting things are happening over at Disneyland Resort.
Palm Breeze Bar
One of the most exciting is The Villas at Disneyland Hotel, the new Disney Vacation Club (DVC) property that recently opened. We had a chance to visit recently, but something was MISSING at the time: the Palm Breeze Bar. Well, we finally got word that the bar would open soon, and the day has come to go see it and try it out!
Finding the right drinks in Disney World can be rough, especially when it comes to deciding if you should spend your money on the newest cocktails to hit the menu.
Hollywood Studios
Sometimes you have to come out of the parks in search of some of the best drinks at lounges and resorts in Disney World, but where do you go when you just don’t have the time to leave? Don’t panic, we tried out a few new cocktails inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios to see if they could make the cut. [Read more…]
Some drinks in Disney World have reached legendary status.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
We’re not even talking about boozy drinks either. We’re talking about Pumpkin Spice Lattes at Starbucks, but also things like Blue Milk and Cold Brew Black Caf in Disney World. Well, the latter recently had a bit of a makeover, and, although it wasn’t BAD, it wasn’t as iconic as the ORIGINAL version of the drink. Now, though, the original version of the Cold Brew Black Caf is BACK, baby.
There are a number of problems you may face in Disney World and you probably think you’re prepared for a lot of them, but there’s ONE you might not be thinking about at all.
Drink in Disney World
No, it doesn’t have to do with Genie+ (though that can be complicated), Park Passes (which will get a big change in 2024!), or Dining Reservations (which have seen a big change recently). This one is related specifically to grabbing DRINKS in Disney World, and we’re not even talking about alcoholic ones — just your regular soda or water too.
