food IS a theme park
Magic Kingdom is THE place to be right now, which probably explains why it’s nearly impossible to get park pass reservations there this week.
Main Street U.S.A.
A lot of that has to do with the official opening of TRON Lightcycle / Run, but we’re also seeing a lot of Spring Break crowds, Easter crowds, and Happily Ever After fans showing up in the parks. While all that is going on, though, we’ve been checking out everything new, so let’s get on with some updates.
When you plan a trip to Disney World, you have to make a LOT of important decisions.
Art of Animation Resort
You’ll need to decide WHEN to go, but also where to eat, and what your priorities are since it’s impossible to do EVERYTHING in one trip. You’ll also need to think about WHERE to stay and if you’re on a budget, you’re probably looking at Disney World’s value resorts.

Disney World is a food lover’s paradise. Across all four parks you’ll find a variety of cuisine to keep you munching from dawn till dusk!
Cinderella Castle!
In recent years, Disney has become much more accommodating to those with dietary restrictions, so they too can enjoy the wonderful food the parks have to offer. This includes many plant-based dishes!
After a few months of being closed, Typhoon Lagoon is finally open again!
Typhoon Lagoon Water Park
Just in time for the spring and summer, this Disney World water park is welcoming guests back into the pirate shipwreck. Not only can you look forward to their thrilling slides and relaxing amenities, but Typhoon Lagoon is also treating us to some all-new eats!
Disney Springs has a lot to offer guests and the best part is, you don’t need a park ticket!
Disney Springs
There are great restaurants, unique shops, and live entertainment options, so Disney Springs should always be on your list to visit during your Disney World trip. Of course, like most things in Disney World, there have been some changes to Disney Springs recently, so we’re here to tell you what’s new at Disney Springs since our last visit!
A brand NEW restaurant has arrived in Disney World!
Swan & Dolphin Hotel
Quite a few new restaurants are actually headed to Disney World in 2023, including Summer House on the Lake at Disney Springs and The Cake Bake Shop on Disney’s BoardWalk. But you don’t have to wait to try this next spot because it is open now! It’s not the cheapest though, so let’s dive into whether it’ll be worth YOUR money.
There are SO many snacks in Disney World — some are so big they are practically a meal!
There are so many snacks to try!
Disney really upped its snack game at Hollywood Studios with the opening of Toy Story Land in 2018 and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in 2019. These new areas brought even more options, with plenty of interesting items to try!
It’s St. Patrick’s Day Weekend, and THE place to celebrate in Disney World is Raglan Road.
St. Patrick’s Day is here!
This Irish pub and restaurant in Disney Springs serves up food and drinks straight from the Emerald Isle year-round, but this time of year is when they really go all-out and celebrate. We were invited to attend a media event at Raglan Road and they truly pulled out ALL of the stops.
We’ve been really feeling the roaring 20s and art deco vibes Disney has been bringing back with their 100th Anniversary items. You can also step into the world of the 20s at The Edison in Disney Springs!
The Edison
The Edison was inspired by the original place of the same name in Los Angeles. It’s an “Industrial Gothic”-style restaurant, bar, and nighttime destination themed to a 1920s-period power plant, and we just received word that they’re expanding their menu!
Okay, so we know it and you know it…but it can be hard to find decent pizza at quick-service locations in Disney World.
Italy pavilion
Now it DOES happen occasionally, but when we’re given options like Pizzafari in Animal Kingdom and PizzeRizzo in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we know that good pizza is hard to come by when you just don’t want to sit down for a table service meal. However, there IS good quick-service pizza in Disney World, if you happen to be in the right place at the right time.
