food IS a theme park
When at Disney World, there are a lot of ways to get around in between the parks, Disney Springs, and Disney hotels.
Epcot Skyliner
There is the Disney World Skyliner that goes to EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and various resorts. Of course, there is the Monorail that takes guests from the Transportation and Ticket Center to Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and a few Disney hotels. What happens when one of the Disney transportation vehicles is down?
Well, it’s another week in Disney World, which means a LOT of change. Now that we’re done eating our share of Easter treats, we’re gearing up for the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival (which doesn’t start for a few months, but WE ARE READY), and more. But we’re also keeping an eye on changes at Disney World restaurants.
Pizza from PizzeRizzo in Hollywood Studios
Things are ALWAYS changing here; but this week, amongst the small changes, there were four REALLY big updates. Don’t worry — we’ll tell you about all 15 restaurants that had updates. But I’ll point out the biggies as well with this very sophisticated system LOL: BIG DEAL ALERT!
We talk a lot about the decadent desserts and savory snacks that you can eat at Disney World. Le Cellier has some juicy steaks and Via Napoli’s got those warm, cheesy pizza pies. But today, we’re not here for a fine-dining restaurant review. Now’s not the time to unfold your fancy napkins or sit down for an elegant meal. Today, we’re talking candy. The sugary, high-fructose corn syrup stuff you dreamed about as a kid.
Sorry, no Via Napoli today!
Get ready to be transported back in time as we talk about a NOSTALGIC theme park treat you probably forgot about.
Deciding when to visit Disney World is one of the most crucial — and tricky — parts of planning your vacation. If you’re not careful, you might end up visiting the parks in the middle of hurricane season or a big holiday break!
Springtime is the perfect time to visit the parks!
Of course, major holidays like Christmas are known to bring large amounts of people to Disney World but don’t forget about other little holidays like spring break or Labor Day weekend. Now that we’ve reached mid-April, the spring break crowds are finally gone, but how has the latest runDisney event impacted the parks? Let’s take a look!
When it comes to iconic Disney World snacks, there are probably several that come to mind.
Mickey Premium Bar
We’re talking about those classics like the Dole Whip, Mickey pretzel, Mickey waffle, and, yes, even the Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar — how can you resist that vanilla ice cream coated with chocolate and shaped to look like Mickey?. However, if you get a Mickey Bar in Disney World now, you might notice that they’ve changed.
Disney World is a BIG place with so much to do!
Main Street U.S.A.
So much to do, you couldn’t possibly do it ALL in one trip. Even the locals who visit regularly still haven’t done it ALL. Partly because Disney keeps changing, evolving, growing, and adding fun new tidbits, and partly because there are SECRET things to do in Disney World!
In early April, we were looking at some of the most EXPENSIVE Genie+ prices we’ve ever seen in Disney World. We’re talking a hefty $35 per person, per day price tag to use Disney’s Genie+ service to skip the lines. Ouch!
It is a NICE time to be in Disney World!
Luckily, it seems like we’re out of the woods for now — we noticed another price decrease at Disney World!
Sometimes major rides close temporarily in Disney World due to technical difficulties or bad weather in the area. But there are also scheduled closures that last much longer than those brief, unplanned interruptions.
Hollywood Studios
A few closures like that are happening this week, and they might impact your next Disney trip in a big way! Check out this full list of Disney World ride and attraction closures so that you’re prepared before you head out the door.
In Disney World, change is inevitable.
EPCOT
Things are constantly changing. That includes seeing rides closing forever, new rides opening, construction on new buildings, and more. EPCOT is also changing and getting a huge transformation. Now, one EPCOT restaurant just got some changes in the form of price increases.
We’ve been dealing with a LOT of crowds in Disney World recently, thanks to the Spring Break travel season.
Tower of Terror in Hollywood Studios
That means we’ve seen some long wait times for rides, and we’ve seen park pass reservations go quickly, ESPECIALLY for Magic Kingdom, thanks to the opening of a new ride AND the return of a popular fireworks show. But we’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel when looking at next week because it’s starting to already seem a lot different.
