food IS a theme park
Honestly, June 26th should go down as a nationally-observed bank holiday for Disney fans.
Stitch is practically a celebrity!
Yep, 6/26 is known as Stitch Day, and Disney World is in on the celebration. We’ve seen special merchandise online, some pranks performed by Stitch on the Disney Twitter account, and throughout the parks, you can grab some specialty treats for a very limited time. Let’s talk about it!
We’re halfway to Halloween, and we’re getting ready to celebrate. What better way to celebrate than by grabbing a tasty drink in a spooky souvenir mug?

The Trader Sam’s Haunted Mansion Gargoyle Tiki Mug has been a huge hit for Haunted Mansion-loving Disney fans for the past two years. The first edition of this mug came out in 2021, and the second edition came out in 2022. In honor of Disney’s 2023 Halfway to Halloween celebration, a third edition of this mug has arrived, and we’re off to try to snag one! While this is the third mug that Disney has released in this set, this is the FIRST one that has arrived at Disney World! Follow along to see what the process of purchasing one is like so that you can get one of your own.
A LOT is happening with Disney World food right now. That’s because the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival has officially kicked off, bringing some AMAZING food booths and snacks to the resort.
The EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival has kicked off!
But we’re also celebrating Women’s History Month, which has also brought some new snacks to Disney World. PLUS St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, meaning we’ll see some new GREEN treats popping up soon. However, the biggest changes are happening on Disney World restaurant menus, so let’s get into those updates right now.
February might’ve been a short month, but a LOT happened when it comes to Disney World food.
Chocolate Leige Waffle
First, we ate a TON of Valentine’s Day treats. We also said goodbye to the EPCOT Festival of the Arts. Between all the news about Reedy Creek and changes made to park pass reservations AND Genie+, we also had a lot of Disney World restaurant menu updates.
It’s about time we revisited this popular Deluxe Resort — we’re back again with another room tour, this time at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
One of the three Monorail resorts, along with the Grand Floridian and the Contemporary Resort, the Polynesian is a favorite for its close proximity to Magic Kingdom as well as its strong theming. When you’re at the Polynesian resort, you feel like you’re on a tropical getaway!
Well, we made it through Valentine’s Day, but y’all, we ate a LOT of pink and red snacks. SO MANY.
Pink Donut
Before you know it, we’ll be eating a lot of green food for St. Patrick’s Day (here are all the snacks from last year) and looking forward to some new restaurants (Cake Bake Shop, we are READY FOR YOU) to open at some point. In the meantime, we’re keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus and tracking changes, so let’s get on with some updates!
With all the new updates happening in the parks at Disney World, it can be easy to forget all the new things coming to Disney World’s Resort hotels!

Resort hopping can be such a great way to relax, shop, and try some new foods while at Disney World. This is something we do often and definitely recommend! So, what’s new at Disney World hotels right now? Let’s go find out!
Resort hopping is one of our favorite things to do at Disney, and splurging at the resort shops, eating at the themed restaurants, and simply looking at all the resort decor makes a good day even better!
Resort hopping is so much fun!
Sometimes, some really great merchandise and snack options are hiding in the resort shops rather than in the parks. We went to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, and then later took the Skyliner to some other resorts on property, and we found some great items including several exclusive things for DVC members! Plus, we even got to see some construction!
Love is in the air, and it smells like sugary Disney snacks! With Valentine’s Day approaching, we are trying all the sweets that pop up in the parks, and so far, we have not been disappointed.
Kona Island
Today’s snack review brings us to Kona Island at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. We found a pair of cupcakes (yes, that’s two desserts in one) themed to some of our favorite valentines! If you’re looking for things to do at Disney with your significant other or loved ones, we definitely suggest trying these cupcakes for yourself. To convince you, we’ll give you a preview!
Get ready to feel like Tony Stark on your next trip to Disney World.
Hey, Disney has arrived!
Back in November of 2022, Disney started adding Hey Disney! Alexa devices to the hotel rooms at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Now, we got an up close look at how Hey, Disney! works in the hotel rooms!
