food IS a theme park
Disneyland fans, we’ve got some amazing news for you!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
April 5th marked the beginning of the Season of the Force! This special Star Wars season runs through June 2nd and celebrates the mega-popular franchise and all of us fans. Over in Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge, the celebration is just starting with character meet-and-greets, specialty snacks, and even a new fireworks show that’s just arrived on Batuu (er, Disneyland).
Disney World is FULL of magical moments!
Cinderella Castle
No matter where you’re looking, you’re bound to see something sweet happen. Whether it’s a guest making magic for another guest or a Cast Member making the magic — it always feels SO special. We sometimes get to share our stories with you, so this time we wanted to hear YOUR stories. We asked about your magical moments, and your stories were so heartwarming that we couldn’t help but share a few of them. [Read more…]
Disney Adults are part of quite a community!
Welcome to the Magic Kingdom!
We relate to many things that others might not understand. Here are five things that are totally normal to Disney Adults but might be weird to everyone else. How many do you relate to?
We’re Disney Adults. Of course, we have some weird habits and confessions!
Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle
We spend a lot of time in the Disney World parks (we’re there every day), and we watch a TON of Disney movies (Disney+ is our comfort zone), so we’re pretty deep into the Disney fandom bubble. And when you’re as much of a die-hard fan as we are, you end up with some confessions you need to get off your chest!
Disney World sees MILLIONS of visitors every year.
Magic Kingdom
So you can imagine that dealing with SO many people on a daily basis can be a challenge for Cast Members. When you visit Disney World, too, there are specific rules that you need to follow (although there are some unwritten rules, too). Some rules, though, get broken so often that Cast Members are literally BEGGING you not to break them. So we’re going to outline one of the most COMMON offenses (and what to do INSTEAD).
We just noticed a CHANGE in Happily Ever After!
They all lived happily… ever… after.
We’ve seen a lot of changes in Disney’s nighttime spectaculars since the COVID closures happened in 2020. We’ve seen Enchantment, Harmonious, the return of Fantasmic!, and even EPCOT Forever come and go since the parks reopened. In April 2023, Disney made the decision to bring back a fan favorite — Happily Ever After. It’s been almost a year since its return…and we just noticed a CHANGE that was quietly made to this popular show. Are you ready to begin? [Read more…]
Cast Members are known for making magic for guests each day. Cast Members truly add that extra touch of pixie dust!
Cast Members in EPCOT
The Disney Food Blog team just happens to be full of past Disney Cast Members. We recently have asked our team about their regrets while working as a Cast Member.
We reached out to our resident Cast Member alumni to tell us about their confessions from when they used to work at Disney World!
Heading to Magic Kingdom soon? We’ve got quite a few recommendations for things that you should do!
Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle
Of course, we recommend hopping on the classic rides, as well as strolling the shops of Main Street, U.S.A. and grabbing some Mickey-shaped treats. But one of our favorite things to do in Magic Kingdom is watch the Happily Ever After fireworks!
Okay, we have to admit it — Happily Ever After is probably one of our favorite fireworks shows EVER.
Happily Ever After
This special fireworks show that happens nightly (well, on MOST nights, that is) is a do-not-miss event, for sure. But with a Happily Ever After viewing comes a BIG problem, especially if you’re watching from Main Street, U.S.A. That problem is CROWDS, and even when the park isn’t super busy, you’ll deal with a lot of people. But we’ve got a WAY better way to see Happily Ever After and you’re going to want to try it next time you’re in Magic Kingdom.
Happy New Year from Disney World!
EPCOT
We’re ringing in 2024 the best way we know how — by celebrating in the parks, of course! As 2023 comes to an end, we’re taking in all the sights and sounds of Disney World as we know it. 2024 is sure to bring major changes to the parks and we can’t wait — but first, it’s time to check out EPCOT’s rare New Year’s Eve fireworks show!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
