By Leave a Comment

Sorry, EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival — you’re old news. We’ve moved on to the 2022 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival!

Festival Passports

Okay, okay, Flower and Garden is still running through July 4th, and we know the Food and Wine Festival doesn’t kick off until July 14th…but there’s nothing wrong with planning ahead, right?! And if you’re traveling from far away to attend this festival, there are a lot of things to keep in mind when planning your trip — including when the booths open. (As we saw in 2021, not every booth opens when the festival begins.) This year FOUR booths are opening late, so we’re sharing the list of booths that will not open until August 15th!

By Leave a Comment

Orlando International Airport has been in the news quite often recently.

Orlando Airport

This is mainly due to the new projects happening at the airport, like the Brightline Train and the new terminal opening up later this year. There are also some new airlines flying into the airport and new bus services to and from the airport and Disney World.

By 3 Comments

If you’re looking for a casual meal in Disney World that’s still REALLY good, Disney Springs is THE place to be!

The Polite Pig at Disney Springs!

While there are a ton of options to please almost any flavor palette, like Pan-Asian cuisine at Morimoto Asia or Spanish-inspired eats from Jaleo, there are also some more traditional eats like BBQ from The Polite Pig! But, just because you’re opting for some traditional American eats doesn’t mean that you have to settle — The Polite Pig is now home to SWEET TEA fried chicken and we knew we HAD to check it out as soon as it was announced!

REVIEW: EPCOT’s NEW Pizza Roll Is the Size of Our Heads — Not Kidding

By Leave a Comment

Something new is cooking up in EPCOT!

EPCOT

No, we’re not talking about Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (although we’re extremely excited for its official opening on May 27th). We’re talking about the Pepperoni Pizza Roll at Sunshine Seasons! We’ve seen Pepperoni Pizza Egg Rolls over at Disney California Adventure in the past as well as Pepperoni Pizza Spring Rolls in Magic Kingdom (both of which we really enjoyed), so of course we had to try this new pizza-inspired item! And spoiler alert: This is PERFECT for pizza lovers!

What’s New in Animal Kingdom: Loads of Simba and 5th Anniversary Pandora Merch.

By Leave a Comment

Let’s see what’s happening in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

Tree of Life

As we near the 5-year anniversary of Pandora – The World of Avatar on May 27th, we’re seeing new Pandora merchandise hit the parks! And while we expected to see mostly Pandora merchandise hit the park, instead we mostly saw…Simba?! That’s right, Disney seems to be stuck in 1994 (when Lion King was released, of course), as the park was full of Simba merch. Like, seriously…Simba is everywhere. Of course, we saw other updates in the park too, like new food offerings and items unrelated to Lion King, so let’s see what’s new in Animal Kingdom!

But, things got a bit more complicated when JetBlue Airways stepped in and made a bigger bid to buy Spirit. Spirit has rejected that offer, but JetBlue is not giving up.
