food IS a theme park
Walking around Disney World every day gives us a unique advantage to sit back and watch for things that might not be so apparent on the surface. Or maybe, we run across things that are too “in your face” that you just completely miss.
EPCOT
It’s true we’ve covered some of the most bizarre and weird things we’ve spotted at Disney World’s park however, we’re seeing evidence of a new trend growing and we don’t know how to feel about it.
Disney dropped a TON of news on us at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event and we’ve been busy trying to discover all the little tiny details ever since!
Hi, Walt!
One of the most exciting announcements (other than the HUGE park expansions revealed for Disney World and Disneyland) was that a nighttime parade is finally coming BACK to Magic Kingdom — except this will be a BRAND-NEW parade! Disney Starlight will debut next year and we’ve just spotted the first casting call!
Few things are more disappointing than getting to Disney World, only to realize that the attraction you’ve been looking forward to riding is CLOSED.
Cinderella Castle
It happens more often than you might think — usually because the ride itself needs a little TLC. That’s been the case for an iconic Magic Kingdom ride as of late, but we’ve got good news because this ride is reopening EARLY!
EPCOT can be one of the best parks to visit on your Disney World vacation. But, we get needing a break!
The Dolphin
When you’re looking to “make a break for it” OUT of EPCOT, there are several great options to consider like hopping on the Skyliner to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios, heading back to your hotel for a quick swim (or nap), and even taking some time out to do a little shopping at Disney Springs. But we’re telling you the perfect escape plan has been crafted, and we’ve got it down to a science!
It’s nice to be a Disney World Annual Passholder. For one thing, you can go to Disney World as often as you want. You can score free souvenirs from time to time, like those collectible Passholder magnets. You get discounts, deals, exclusive merchandise, and so much more. Oh, and did we mention the Annual Passholder-exclusive TREATS?! Yeah, there’s a lot to enjoy as an Annual Passholder.
Annual Passholder magnet
Recently, Disney announced a NEW Passholder-exclusive treat is available now! We headed straight to Disney World to give it a try — come along with us, and let’s get snackin’.
One of Disney World’s most iconic rides reopens in ONE WEEK — are you ready?
Peter Pan
It’s not uncommon for Disney World rides to undergo routine maintenance and refurbishment from time to time but when they do, they can really leave a hole in your park plans. If you’ve been planning to ride one of Disney World’s classic attractions soon, you’ll only have to hold out a few days longer for its reopening!
If your ideal meal consists of hot dogs, mac and cheese, and a milkshake Disney World has the PERFECT restaurant to meet your needs.
Our meal at Dockside Diner
We’ve dined at this cozy quick-service restaurant found in Disney’s Hollywood Studios before, but it warranted an updated visit. So, we decided it was time to stroll by the lake, sit down for a spell, and see if this restaurant’s food had changed much since we last dined here. [Read more…]
Disney World isn’t just chicken nuggets and cheeseburgers, but you probably already knew that. These days, you can get a thick, juicy steak at Le Cellier, a handmade pizza at Via Napoli, or an authentic meal at Takumi-Tei.Â
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
The possibilities are practically endless! If you’re willing to splurge, you can get some really good food at Disney World. In fact, there’s one signature dining restaurant that offers a unique experience — and it’s hiding in EPCOT’s Japan Pavilion! Any guesses?
As if Disney’s official announcement of booths and menus weren’t enough already, it’s time for another round of EPCOT Food & Wine Festival news!
Wall-E & Eve!
There’s so much to do while visiting Disney World during Food & Wine that it’s almost impossible to do in a single day! If you were already planning some downtime to unwind to the sounds of the upcoming Eat to the Beat concert series at night, you’re going to love making time for this fun activity to during during the day!
One of our favorite Disney World snacks will soon be found somewhere NEW!
Zebra Domes
When browsing the recently released menus for the upcoming EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, we couldn’t help but notice that a particular snack looked oddly familiar — like we had seen it somewhere else around Disney World before. And then it hit us like a ton of bricks!
