food IS a theme park
Magic Kingdom is BUSY right now — so much is going on.
Magic Kingdom
A lot of that has to do with the new attraction TRON / Lightcycle Run, which opens in the park NEXT MONTH. We’ve already been on the ride (and it was WILD), and we’ve seen a new addition added to Tomorrowland at its exit. But we’ve got even MORE updates happening in Magic Kingdom, so let’s get to those!
Is Disney’s Hollywood Studios the best park at Disney World?
Daisy and Donald at Hollywood Studios
Well, if you love old Hollywood, Star Wars, Toy Story, and The Twilight Zone, you might very well say “yes!” Whatever the case, we love wandering around Hollywood Studios and just taking it all in, visiting the shops, eating the food, and checking out the merchandise. So let’s see what’s new there, shall we?
Disneyland has already gone through some MAJOR changes this year.
Mickey 100th anniversary statue in Disneyland
The entire resort has been transformed to celebrate the Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary. A NEW ride has opened. The Magic Happens parade is back! It’s a lot to keep up with. But we’re doing our best to make sure we get you all the updates, so let’s see what else is new at Disneyland Resort!
“Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba Sithi uhm ingonyama.” Yep, we’re singing that iconic Zulu introduction to “Circle of Life” because that song reminds us of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. (Also, yes, we googled how to spell the lyrics.)
The Tree of Life
We can’t help it — it’s the song that comes to mind every time we look up at the gorgeous Tree of Life. We’ll also admit to hearing it often because we LOVE Festival of the Lion King. Animal Kingdom just has something the other Disney World parks don’t — it’s got a relaxed vibe, LOADS of animals, cheeseburger pods, and lots of trees (and that means shade, which other parks are sorely lacking). So let’s head on over to this chill park and see what’s new!
EPCOT has been a hotbed of activity in Disney World for several years now.
EPCOT Festival of the Arts
The park is still in the middle of a massive transformation, and if you’ve visited recently, you’ve probably been surrounded by construction walls in the front of the park. That’s because Imagineers are working on a new Moana-themed attraction, as well as some other things. But what else is going on at EPCOT? Well, let’s find out.
EPCOT is a seriously underrated park.
Spaceship Earth at Night
First, this is where all those AMAZING festivals take place, with all those great food booths (we’re currently enjoying the EPCOT Festival of the Arts). Plus you can literally travel AROUND the world without ever leaving the park. Then there are the rides — Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind anyone? So let’s see what’s been going on at EPCOT recently.
Well, the first month of 2023 is behind us already and we’re getting ready for Valentine’s Day (and Valentine’s Day treats!).
Sweetheart Sundae
This month, we finally got an opening date for Roundup Rodeo BBQ, as well as the full menu, and a few other details. But we also got some updates for Disney World’s existing restaurants — so here are how those menus changed in January.
Magic Kingdom, you are hard to keep up with!
Cinderella Castle
Just in the past week we’ve seen a ton of updates come in about the upcoming debut of TRON Lightcycle / Run, and we’ve been working hard to keep up with all the other goings on in this park.
A LOT has happened with Disney World food this week!
House-made Artisanal-style Duck À L’Orange Pizza at California Grill
The EPCOT Festival of the Arts is underway now, and we’ve been returning to some of the food booths to eat some of our favorite items. We tried a delicious new burger in Disney Springs. Like always, though, we also kept an eye on Disney World restaurant menus — and there have been some changes this week!
So much is changing at Disney World hotels right now.
Disney’s Riviera Resort
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn just got a new coffee shop and a new restaurant is on its way. The rooms at Disney’s Beach Club Resort are getting an update. The rooms at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort are getting a new theme based on The Little Mermaid. A lot even just happened this past week, so let’s take a look at the latest hotel updates!
