food IS a theme park
We talk a LOT about food in Disney World.
The spread!
We talk about the best snacks, the best eats at the EPCOT festivals, and even some of our favorite entrees to order at table service spots. But you know what gets overlooked? Some of Disney World’s AMAZING appetizers. So today, we’re rounding up 7 of the top appetizers in Disney World to determine which one is the best.
Things are changing all the time in Disneyland and we do our best to keep up with them all!
Welcome to Bayou Country
Some BIG changes are coming soon, including new stores (some of which have already opened) and restaurants in Downtown Disney. A new Avatar-themed land is coming to Disney California Adventure, along with a new Coco ride. Most recently, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opened in Disneyland — and we’ve got some MASSIVE news about that ride to share with you!
Cowabunga dudes!
Did someone say millennial memories?
A lot has changed about Walt Disney World over the last 50+ years, especially since the 1990s and early 2000s, meaning that there are a lot of things millennials once experienced at the parks that would seem wildly out of place now! Whether you’re a millennial who saw these during your youth or just wish you’d gotten to experience them, the fact that they once existed at Disney World will likely still blow your mind.
Welcome to the holidays in Disneyland!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
The parks are decorated, there’s snow on Sleeping Beauty Castle (and there has been since October!), the Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays is underway, and we had a chance to check out the first Candlelight Processional of the year. Now, the Candlelight Processional is a little different in Disneyland than in Disney World in that the celebrity narrator isn’t announced ahead of time. So imagine our delight when we arrived at the Processional last night and had a MARVEL-ous surprise!
Man, Disney’s Hollywood Studios has a TON going on right now!
Hollywood Studios
Muppets Courtyard is leaving to make way for the brand new Monster’s, Inc. Land. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is getting re-themed to the Muppets. The new Little Mermaid show and the new Villains show are both coming to the park. It’s a lot! And speaking of shows, you know how Disney loves showing us concept art for their new projects? Well, it looks like Disney tried to get a little sneaky, but there was no way that we were going to miss this one glaring announcement in the Monsters, Inc. concept art!
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World’s average wait times were mostly stable this week, with a couple of exceptions. Rise of the Resistance dropped from its Thanksgiving-week-high, but it was still the busiest ride in Disney World.
Hello, Hollywood! We’re here to soak in the glitz and glamour of the holidays. Oh, and Tinsel Town is EXTRA sparkly today. Why? We’re celebrating DAPPER DAY at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
The holidays at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
OK, so what is Dapper Day? Technically, it should be Dapper Days, since this event takes place a couple of times a year on both coasts. It’s a free (and not Disney-sponsored) event where you can dress up in vintage outfits, chic dresses, or any kind of dapper look. The point is to have fun and get creative (and boy did people deliver today!).
Do you dream of Mickey Waffles? Do you love Disney World breakfast restaurants like Chef Mickey’s, ‘Ohana, and Kona Island? You’re in luck!
Mickey Waffle!
Sadly, we can’t live at Disney World. But we can bring a little of that magic home thanks to some FUN Amazon finds! Want to have your very own Mickey Waffle at home? Find out how!
How’s the Christmas list shopping coming along?

If you don’t have this on your list already, and especially since you’re planning your next trip to Disney World, we’ve got to talk about shoes. There’s this one mistake that so many people make when it comes to the shoes people bring to Disney World. We’re talking about not breaking in your shoes long before your trip. The last thing you want is to have your feet covered in blisters because you threw brand new shoes on them and then asked your feet to walk for 20 miles a day at Disney World. You need to make sure the shoes are comfortable and properly broken in before trusting them to support your feet for the thousands upon thousands of steps they’ll be taking daily at the parks. So let’s beat that trend and show you some of the best shoes for Disney World that we could find from Amazon! Let’s jump right in!
Happy holidays from the West Coast. Yep, we’re in Disneyland, and we’ve been enjoying EVERYTHING the holiday season has to offer.
Holiday decorations on “it’s a small world”
We’ve had our first ICONIC Candy Cane of the season. We’ve been enjoying the Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays. We’ve even been able to see the Pixar Place Hotel decorated for the holidays for the very first time! We LOVE this time of year. We’re also making our way through the TONS of new snacks and drinks that have arrived in Disneyland (y’all — it is SO much FOOD) and we’ve got some more reviews of some of those new eats and drinks to share with you. So let’s get to nomming!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
