food IS a theme park
Can you hear that? It sounds like sleigh bells! Santa is coming SOON!
Holiday decorations!
Okay, so we’ve still got over a month until Santa’s big day, but you wouldn’t know that if you’ve visited Disney World this week. Holiday merchandise is EVERYWHERE. The big gingerbread house at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has arrived. The holiday decorations are being added to the parks — speaking of which, ANOTHER park just got all decked out for the season.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a severely underrated park, and we will die on that hill.
Tree of Life
To this day, people still consider it to be a “half-day park,” though we vehemently disagree. There’s so much to see, do, eat, drink, and experience at this park, but we happen to think Disney is wasting the absolute best part of Animal Kingdom.
Disney World is full of magic, sunshine, and lines.
Genie+
Genie+ was introduced as a way to avoid waiting in long lines for rides at Disney World. We know that depending on the time of year, there are major crowds and wait times can get long. It can be tough to know when you should purchase Genie+ or an Individual Lightning Lane — especially now that the Genie system has changed to have different pricing depending on the park you’re doing to.
When it comes to food, Disney’s Animal Kingdom is doing something RIGHT.
Pandora in Disney’s Animal Kingdom
According to many Disney World visitors, Animal Kingdom is considered to be one of THEEEE parks to visit if you’re hoping to grub. Today, we’re headed to Pandora — World of Avatar to none other than Satu’li Canteen to grab a bite to eat. Here, visitors can find some fan-favorite dishes, like Cheeseburger Pods and even noodle and rice bowls. The word on the street is that there’s a NEW bowl at Satu’li, and y’all already know we’re itching to try it. Come along with us!
A fan-favorite yet subtle way for a lot of Disney fans to showcase their love for the brand is through jewelry!
Jewelry Display at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Whether you shop in the Disney Parks or online, you can find an impressive selection of Disney-inspired jewelry from popular brands like BaubleBar, Alex & Ani, and more! A fan-favorite jewelry item for many Disney fans, though, is the classic Pandora charm. Disney and Pandora have created a seemingly endless array of Disney-themed charms that you can include on bracelets, necklaces, and many even like to add them as a statement to hoop earrings! We found a NEW Disney x Pandora charm both in the parks and online, and it could be a great way to celebrate Disney’s 100th Anniversary if you’re a fan of both these brands.
Few franchises have taken the world by storm like Avatar.Â
Pandora — The World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
The story that inspired an entire land at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is only getting started, with the latest installment, Avatar: The Way of Water, breaking box office records. If you didn’t get the chance to see the movie when it was in theaters, you’re in luck, because we just learned when it will be released on Disney+!
Get your autograph books and cameras ready: Disney World will be adding some new characters to the parks soon!
Animal Kingdom
Mirabel will soon greet guests in Magic Kingdom, and we’ve got an update on the Figment meet-and-greet, but we’ve got some news for Disney’s Animal Kingdom too!
Disney has really been spoiling us with new merchandise lately! With the 100th Anniversary celebrations underway, there are tons of new items coming out regularly.
EARS!
This hasn’t stopped Disney from their normal schedule of releases, like new ear designs. We just spotted a never-before-seen pair in Animal Kingdom that will make you feel like the king of all you survey!
One of our favorite Disney World parks in terms of food and atmosphere is Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The park might be underrated, as many favor the nostalgia of Magic Kingdom or the thrill rides of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but trust us when we say that you should NOT sleep on Animal Kingdom.
Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom
You can find some amazing eats in this park, there are a few can’t-miss attractions, and it’s quite possibly the most relaxing of Disney World’s four theme parks. If you haven’t been in a while, you might need a quick update about what’s changed at Animal Kingdom, so come along with us to check out everything that’s NEW in this park. [Read more…]
