food IS a theme park
March was a BIG month of news for Disney World and lots of news can sometimes make for surprises!
Walt Disney World
From dining changes to health measure updates and more, let’s take a look at the four most unexpected things that happened in Disney World in March!
Disney World is starting to get closer and closer to pre-pandemic “normal.”
EPCOT
We’re seeing some of the plexiglass barriers start to disappear around the parks and hotels, face mask mandates are changing, and the last Disney World hotel finally reopened. Now, Disney just announced another returning program that will bring some serious changes to EPCOT! [Read more…]
Welcome back to the 2022 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival!
Flower & Garden Sign
We’re buzzing around like Spike the Bee getting allllll the details you need to know to make your festival visit a success. We’ve taken a peek at the exclusive merchandise and are looking forward to some of our favorite artists at the Garden Rocks Concert Series. But for now, we’re bringing you a festival booth review for Primavera Kitchen in the Italy Pavilion — let’s check it out!
EPCOT is one of our favorite parks for food, and during the Festival of the Arts we love it even more! However, with all those amazing festival eats around the park, it can be difficult to remember that EPCOT still has amazing food at their non-festival spots too.
EPCOT
Recently, we found a tasty hidden gem in EPCOT’s World Showcase. Spoiler Alert: It was amazing!
Disney World has been VERY busy over the last couple of weeks with a lot of guests heading into the parks for the holiday season.
Main Street Crowds
If you’re ringing in the new year by visiting Mickey and the gang at Disney, make sure you know which rides, attractions, and hotels will be closed during your vacation! Here’s a complete list of the refurbishments that are scheduled to happen next week in Disney World. [Read more…]
In the past few weeks, we’ve gotten used to seeing some HUGE crowds in Disney World!
Main Street on New Year’s
The holiday season is typically super busy in Disney World, and the parks have definitely been noticeably people-y in recent weeks. But even though it’s been busy overall, we did notice a few surprisingly empty places in Disney’s Hollywood Studios yesterday. And that trend continued in another park today!
Spending a ton of time planning your Disney World vacation and then having something go wrong that’s out of your control is not super fun.
Rain, rain, go away!
The weather can impact your trip, rides can shut down with no explanation, or a place you’ve been wanting to eat at is randomly closed. And, unfortunately, we saw a closed spot in EPCOT today that caught us off guard!
We’re comin’ to ya today from the first day of Festival of the Holidays in EPCOT. We’ve been checking out the Holiday Kitchens around the park, where you can find delicious festive snacks from around the world.
It’s Santa!
And although eating all the tasty snacks and trying holiday drinks is our favorite part of this festival, that’s not the only fun you can find here. There are activities available like Olaf’s Scavenger Hunt and the Holiday Cookie Stroll (an activity AND treats? Sign us up!), and you can also find entertainment throughout the park. Let’s take a look at ALL the entertainment available this year. [Read more…]
The holiday season has officially arrived in EPCOT’s World Showcase!
Christmas Tree in EPCOT
Since Halloween ended a few weeks ago, we’ve been keeping an eye out for holiday decor as it begins to pop up around Disney World. We’ve already seen tons of festive decorations make their debut, from Christmas trees to pineapples (yup, that’s a thing!). And now, EPCOT’s World Showcase is getting into the spirit as well! [Read more…]
Disney World MagicBands are both your ticket into the parks and a fun way to show off your favorite Disney characters, movies, or attractions.
Lots of MagicBands to Pick From!
We’ve seen some pretty amazing designs on MagicBands, including some new holiday bands, a Haunted Mansion-themed one, and — one of our personal favorites — a designer MagicBand celebrating EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival. One of the newest MagicBands (coming out soon!) is another EPCOT-themed one, and it’s available for pre-order at a discount for some guests. [Read more…]
