food IS a theme park
Rope dropping the Disney World parks is a fine art.
Crowds at rope drop in Hollywood Studios
It takes precision, planning, and cunning to make the most of the first few hours of the day in Disney World. You need to know exactly where you want to go before you even hit the ground, lest you waste any of that valuable pre-crowd time. And we’re here to WARN you about a common mistake when rope dropping EPCOT!
Each week we bring you the latest closures and refurbishments going on around Disney World.
EPCOT
Many of these attractions, restaurants, and even entire parks have been closed for an extended period of time with no reopening date in sight. However, while one restaurant has been closed for its intended purpose for several years now, it occasionally reopens as a completely different venue. Now, on May 1st, we’ll once again see it reopen but NOT as a restaurant.
Picture this: it’s a busy day in EPCOT. You’ve got a jam-packed schedule full of things to see and do, and now it’s time to eat. Whether you have a dining reservation or you’re planning to stop by a quick-service restaurant, you’ll need to make some important decisions either way. What are you gonna eat?
EPCOT
Sounds like a fun question to answer, but trust us, we get it. Decision fatigue is REAL. After you’ve been making decisions all day long, you might simply run out of energy by the time the menu hits your table. Luckily, we’ve done the work. We’ve eaten at EVERY. SINGLE. EPCOT restaurant. We know those menus well, and we’re here to make your life a little easier. Let’s talk about the ONE thing you should order from EVERY EPCOT restaurant.
There are TONS of things to do and see in Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
Each park has lots of rides, shows, dining options, character meet-and-greets, and more. Unfortunately, some of those attractions have to be closed for refurbishment every once in a while. If you take a look at Disney World’s websites or wander around the parks, you’ll notice that 13(!!) attractions will continue to be closed this week!
We go to Disney World for the food, but the rides are definitely up there on our list of things to do!
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
Jumping on a fun roller coaster or flying through the galaxy are great ways to spend our days in the parks. Unfortunately, there are two rides in Disney World that we still can’t ride! Hopefully, they will both be opening soon. Let’s take a look at these two closed rides and everything else that is unavailable due to refurbishments this coming week.
Disney and Lug have teamed up yet again to bring us even more lovely Lug designs (and we couldn’t wait to show them to you)!
Oh, Canada!
We just smudged the release of the Lug backpack exclusive to the Norway Pavilion in EPCOT’s World Showcase, and even spotted a familiar character bag reemerge with a notable change, but the latest Lug release seems to have kicked off a cause for celebration and we’ve got a sneak peek! [Read more…]
Disney Lug bags made us rush out to the parks in a frenzy due to their massive popularity and now Disney’s released ANOTHER one!
EPCOT
We’ve seen these gorgeous bags in a few different designs now, come and go from the parks, and even make an epic comeback with a change. So if you thought your collection was already complete, take another look at this recently released gem! [Read more…]
Have you ever been at Disney World and something felt off?
Cinderella Castle
Yep! Us too! We go to Disney World every day and tend to notice if something is not right. Sometimes, rides malfunction or certain experiences are quietly removed. Here are seven things that Disney World hoped we would not notice.
We have exciting food news for you all this week!

A popular Disney World restaurant that has been closed since 2020 is finally reopening this week! We can’t wait to dive into the new offerings that will be served at this adorable and delicious dining location. You’ll get to dine with characters and even try a beloved soup (yep, a soup!). Even though this restaurant is opening once again, there are still lots of attractions closed in Disney World. Let’s take a look at everything closed for refurbishment this coming week.
Can you believe it is already April?!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
That means that we’re inching closer and closer to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Country Bear Jamboree re-opening! Disney hasn’t announced an opening date for either of these attractions, but we’ve been noticing some big changes over at the Frontierland ride! Let’s check them out and see what else will remain closed this week.
