food IS a theme park
Even the best Disney snacks have detriments.
Karamell- Kuche
EPCOT’s Karamell-Küche is one of our favorite spots for snacks in Disney World thanks to its emphasis on caramel goods like caramel apples, caramel corn, and the caramel butter bar.
Disney World attractions temporarily close all the time.
Magic Kingdom
Disney closes rides and attractions for refurbishment all the time. There are periods when we’ll see several rides closed at a time and other times when only one or two rides are closed. We love to see when the number of rides closed in a week is low, which is what is great about this week! While a few restaurants and other attractions will be closed for refurbishment this week, only two rides are closed, for now!
Extra, extra, read all about it! Seriously, we’re sure Disney World hasn’t had a wink of sleep because they’ve dropped so many new updates this week. If you’ve missed out, this is your chance to catch up!
Magic Kingdom
I’m back again with another round of WHAT’S NEW UPDATES AT DISNEY WORLD, a rundown on all the epic news and updates that happened at Disney World this past week. This week, we got the 4-1-1 on TWO NEW BOOTHS announced for the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, the Country Bear Musical Jamboree has officially OPENED at Magic Kingdom, and an exclusive hotel perk that’s coming BACK to Hollywood Studios! Are y’all ready? Okay, let’s go!
Do you think you have what it takes to work at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind?
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
I had the opportunity to be a part of the opening team for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and I am rounding up some of the qualifications for working at this popular EPCOT attraction.
There’s a teeny tiny city in Disney World, and it’s filled with mischief and misdeeds.
The Tiny Train Town!
The tiny train town in the Germany Pavilion at EPCOT is one of our favorite places to stop and enjoy the ambiance in the park, but a few months back, we began to notice that it’s absolutely RIFE with crime! The residents there get into all kinds of trouble, and we’ve documented it all. Now it’s time for a weekly update from me, the town’s mayor!
One of the best parts of visiting Disney World is meeting characters!
Loveable Pooh
We always have so much fun interacting with the characters, whether that be during character dining experiences or at their official meet-and-greet spots in the parks. We’ve even collected character autographs on birthday cards and water bottles (which we think is genius, by the way). Now, though, we spotted a NEW character joining an existing meet and greet and WE ARE SO EXCITED. Could this be a permanent change, or was it a one-day surprise? We’re keeping our fingers crossed this new friend is here to stay!
EPCOT’s massive transformation has been completed, but there is still more work to be done. We’ve seen the long-awaited construction walls come down from around its new World Celebration gardens and CommuniCore Hall, revealing even more festival food favorites to munch on, live entertainment, and even a dedicated spot to meet Mickey and his pals! But Test Track is currently under construction, and we’re expecting a NEW version of the ride to debut. There’s pretty much always something new to look forward to in EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
So, if you’re anything like us and want to experience the behind-the-scenes story of EPCOT’s glow-up, we’ve found the perfect way for you to see it all! [Read more…]
What you’re about to see is a challenge of epic proportions. But for Dole Whip Day (July 18th), we pull out all the stops. We’re not afraid to take on the task, even if such an activity is probably easier when split between friends. When Dole Whip is involved, the gloves come off.
Tropical Serenade
In honor of Dole Whip Day, we were invited to participate in Disney’s Dole Whip Dash. Think of it like a scavenger hunt, but just for Dole Whip treats. Now, THAT is a scavenger hunt we can get behind! But remember how we told you this was a BIG challenge? Well, you’ll understand why in a moment. We ate nine (!!!) Dole Whip treats in one day. Nine. Breakfast? Dole Whip. Lunch? Dole Whip? Dinner? You guessed it! Dole Whip! Dessert? Lobster Thermidor. Kidding! We had more Dole Whip. Behold — Dole Whip Day 2024: EXTREME Edition.
BIG changes are coming to a popular EPCOT ride. Every once in a while, Disney will take a classic attraction and give it a little update! Recently, two Magic Kingdom rides were totally revamped to include new characters, new music, and new designs. But now, we’re headed over to EPCOT to talk about something NEW that is in the works.
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
Disney’s Test Track ride has undergone several iterations since its introduction. Most recently, the ride was designed to simulate a series of tests with an innovative new car — hence the name, Test Track. But now, the ride is CLOSED. That’s because Disney has plans to update the attraction! So far, Disney has been pretty quiet about what is planned for the ride, but we do have an important new clue.
A new sweet treat has come to EPCOT.
EPCOT Monorail
There’s no shortage of snacks at Walt Disney World, and those with every kind of palate should be able to find something they enjoy somewhere on Disney property. Well, if you’re looking for something new, we’ve got GREAT news! Some new additions can be found at one of EPCOT’s hidden gem snack spots.
