food IS a theme park

Conquering Disney World is all about strategy!
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
If you’re in the midst of making those plans, there are three rides in particular that you ABSOLUTELY have to prioritize because they sell out every day on Genie+: Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Frozen Ever After, and Slinky Dog Dash. Let’s go over some of our favorite tips and tricks so that you don’t miss out on any must-do rides!
June brings us to the beginning of the summer season in Disney World, which means lots of heat and tons of crowds!
Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom
But sometimes you’ll arrive in Disney World and realize that one of your favorite attractions is closed. That’s why we try to keep you updated on what’s closed so you’re prepared before your trip! If you’re visiting in June, here’s what you can expect to be closed during your trip.
We’re not-so-patiently counting down the days until the official opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom!

Now that we know when it will open — June 28th — we’ve also learned quite a few details about just how the ride will work when it comes to opening day itself. And, if you’re planning on riding Tiana’s as soon as it opens, these are the six critical updates you might need to know!
Have you been able to keep up with all of the recent Tiana’s Bayou Adventure news?
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom
The brand-new Magic Kingdom attraction is set to open in Disney World on June 28th, 2024 but Disney announced that select Disney World guests would get the chance to experience the attraction early via preview events. There has been a barrage of preview announcements, so if you’ve fallen behind, rest assured — we’re here to get you caught up!
We’ve seen all kinds of Disney World park maps over the years. We’ve seen familiar Disney characters grace the front cover. We’ve seen the iconic Cinderella Castle take center stage on old maps. We’ve even seen regular old Disney World visitors (or Disney models…how do we get that job?!) earn a spot on the front of the map. Talk about a big honor! But Disney also has a digital park map that comes in handy when you’re on the go.
Magic Kingdom park maps change all the time!
Not to sound dramatic, but we use the My Disney Experience app pretty much every single day. We’re in the parks every day of the year, so between all the Mobile Orders we have placed, the wait times we have checked, and the character meet-and-greet times we have confirmed, that app is like our holy grail. And recently, the My Disney Experience app just CHANGED!
We’re officially headed into the HOT, HOT, HOT months at Disney World, and that means one thing.
Barefoot Pool Bar
We get like, five times more likely to seek out fun drinks as soon as it gets hotter at Disney World. There are so many great spots to grab a refreshing bevi, whether you’re looking for something alcoholic or something safe for our underage or sober friends! Barefoot Pool Bar is over at the Lava Pool at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Here, you can find both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks as well as some small bites. Barefoot recently got some NEW bevies, so we’re headed to check them out! You in?
If you’re hoping to explore the bayou with Tiana and her friends in Magic Kingdom this summer, you’ll want to keep on reading!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom
We’ve waited for what seems like FOREVER for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to open at Disney World, and now, we’re ALMOST THERE. In June 2020, Disney announced that the water-based ride Splash Mountain would close to be rethemed into an attraction inspired by the Disney animated film, The Princess and the Frog. Disney has shared that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will pick up the story of The Princess and the Frog “after the final kiss, and join Princess Tiana and Louis on a musical adventure – featuring some of the powerful music from the film – as they prepare for their first-ever Mardi Gras performance.”
Things are always changing at Disney World, and today, we have news about an important character meet and greet update in Magic Kingdom.

And don’t worry, this character meet and greet isn’t gone, but the location has changed! Chip and Dale have been meeting in Tomorrowland recently, but if you are headed to Magic Kingdom, be prepared to find them in a new spot.
HI! I’m AJ! I created Disney Food Blog 15 years ago, and my team thought somebody out there might be interested in what I like to eat in Disney World when nobody’s looking.
(Wait. That sounds weird.)
More specifically, this is what I eat when I’m not working. Or what I eat when I don’t have to eat something else for work. Whatever, you understand, right? Basically — here’s what I eat when I go to Disney World completely for fun and get to eat whatever I want!
Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
Here at DFB, we cover EVERYTHING. We eat everything in Disney World — usually multiple times, since you can have varied experiences depending on when you go to certain restaurants and kiosks. And we make sure to give you an unbiased review of all of it.
But what about when we’re just in Disney World for fun — not for work? If we aren’t reviewing something for YOU, what do we choose to eat? That might be the best indicator of all as to what’s worth getting in the parks, right?
Here at DFB, we have eaten EVERYWHERE at Disney World, and one of our favorite things to do is to share all of the knowledge we gained by eating at every restaurant with you!
Check out our snack guides!
We have created a line-up of snack guides that are a combination of our years and years of experience at Disney World, with gorgeous color photos and detailed taste notes of snacks at all four Disney World Parks. Check them all out here!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
