food IS a theme park
It’s no secret that Disney World is hot in the…well, most of the year, honestly!
Magic Kingdom
It feels like summer in Central Florida drags on and on with the intense heat and the suffocating humidity, plus those near-daily rainstorms. But over the years, we’ve definitely learned some ways to manage that weather when we’re in the theme parks (we have to go every day, after all!). And recently, I tested out two popular methods of cooling down to see which one came out on top.
There’s MORE amazing stuff hiding in Disney World that goes beyond just Cinderella Castle and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. But in order to FIND these marvelous things, we’re going to Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
Today, we’re looking at ALL sorts of Disney Springs activities for ALL vacation types. Whether you’re looking for high end food or good food on the dime, the newest experiences or the classic must-sees, something to entertain the kiddos or something for a hot date night — you NAME it — there’s a little something for EVERYONE inside Disney Springs.
We might be Disney Food Blog, but we’re pretty darn excited about everything going on at Universal Orlando.
Universal Studios
Epic Universe — Universal’s newest theme park — is slated to open in 2025, bringing a ton of new rides, restaurants, and more to this vacation destination. At Universal Studios, DreamWorks Land recently opened and has been a hit with fans. But, if you’ve got an upcoming trip to Universal planned, we have a word of warning for you!
Prepare for an “Under the Sea” party… in Orlando?
Mermaid!
While the greater Orlando area is best known for the Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando resorts, the area is chock-full of other tourist attractions and hotels that are definitely worth checking out, whether you’re a local or a visiting tourist. These include the world’s largest Marriott resort.
Believe it or not, spooky season is right around the corner — at least as far as Disney is concerned!
Halloween in Magic Kingdom
The Halloween festivities will be kicking off in the parks soon, and we’ve already started to see ghoulish merchandise show up in stores and online. Some of these Halloween items can be pretty hard to come by, and we think we’ve spotted a new one that’s going to sell out FAST!
Are you making a MAJOR mistake when you visit Disney World?
Magic Kingdom
The Lightning Lane system at Disney World is fresh off a brand-new overhaul with the creation of the Lightning Lane Single Pass and Lightning Lane Multi Pass. The change has caused some confusion, and Disney World newbies are especially susceptible to making Lightning Lane mistakes. We’re here to help and make sure those mistakes don’t happen!
Two of our favorite restaurants are running an exclusive offer on merchandise and food, and it’s all starting soon at Disney Springs!
The Slow Lamb
We’ve had some exceptional meals at Raglan Road and Cookes of Dublin, and we loved getting to preview the summer menu items they’re offering at a hefty discount. But, for a limited time, these restaurants are looking to share their appreciation for Cast Members and offering some NEW discounts and deals you just can’t beat!
If you’ve ever had pizza at Disney World, you know that it’s not all created equally.
Sausage & Pepperoni Pizza
There’s the infamous “puffy pizza” served at places like PizzeRizzo, Pizzafari, and Catalina Eddie’s, and some of the best slices can be found at Via Napoli in EPCOT’s Italy Pavilion. But, if you ask us, one of the BEST pizzas in all of Disney World is hiding at a restaurant you’ve probably never even heard of!
We would consider ourselves pretty big Disney World fans. We are in the park every single day, and we just so happen to write about Disney World as our job. We even dream about Disney World sometimes.
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
There is A LOT we love about Disney World, but there is also one thing that we find a bit annoying.
We don’t talk about Bruno…except that we do! Encanto is still making waves, especially in Disney parks.
Mirabel!
We’ve recently seen Mirabel come to a meet-and-greet fans in Magic Kingdom (you’ve been able to meet her for a while on the West Coast in Disneyland). There’s a limited-time Encanto sing-along happening in EPCOT right now! Bruno previously made an appearance during Oogie Boogie Bash at Disney California Adventure. Well, it looks like Encanto might be coming to California Adventure in a NEW way.
