food IS a theme park
As expected after the date-based ticket price increases, Disney World Annual Pass pricing also went up today.
Disney World Annual Pass Price Increase
Today is the day that a change has come to Disney World ticket prices. Guests wishing to purchase Disney World tickets are able to access the new system via DisneyWorld.com or the My Disney Experience app to see the new date-based ticket pricing. (Click here to see Annual Pass price increases that went into effect today.)

The new system:
• Assigns each individual calendar day a specific ticket price (each day reflects a different price based on various factors like crowd levels)
• Uses an interactive calendar for ticket purchasing, and to show guests the highest and lowest ticket prices within a given month or year
• Offers guests the option to upgrade to a ticket with a “flexible start date” for an added cost. [Read more…]
We popped over to Magic Kingdom and Epcot today! And despite it being INSANELY crowded at the parks, we managed to find a fun update for you!
Welcome to Epcot!
For those of you who love the packaged park treats, it looks like some of our favorites from Goofy’s Candy Company got a makeover: they now have fun, new packaging!
‘Tis the season for everything pumpkin, and we got word about a pumpkin soft serve whip. YUP — THAT’S PUMPKIN DOLE WHIP Y’ALL! Thanks to @PBandJellyJenn on Instagram for the tag and heads up!

Disneyland Resort’s hand-dipped corn dogs are the stuff of legends. Disney Food Blog’s Disneyland correspondent, Heather, recently stopped by Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs in Downtown Disney to give them a try. Here’s what she thought!

First thing to know: since each corn dog is hand-dipped and there’s only one person working in this small booth, service can sometimes be a little slow. But it’s worth the wait if you’re a corn dog fanatic.
When it comes to dining at Counter Service locations in Disney World, it sure is nice to save any time in line that you can. And Mobile Ordering helps guests to do exactly that. And now an additional location is offering guests the opportunity to pre-order their food items to ultimately save time that would otherwise have been spent in line: Cookes of Dublin in Disney Springs!
Cookes of Dublin
Cookes of Dublin is the Counter Service component to Raglan Road, serving up Fish & Chips, Battered Burgers, Dubliner Irish Cheese & Bacon Dip, and more. [Read more…]
Welcome back to El Mercado de Coronado!
Even if El Mercado de Coronado is a new name to you, you may still be familiar with the space if you’ve ever paid a visit to Coronado Springs Resort. You see, this Resort Counter Service location used to go by the name of Pepper Market.
While the general setup of the space has remained the same, there are some other aspects that have changed even beyond the name.
So join us on a tour of El Mercado de Coronado!
The unique structure of the space has remained the same, of course, with the large dining room still given a bit of the Resort’s Spanish-Colonial Mexican architecture with arches and large beams, and a high ceiling allowing plenty of light from the windows to flow through. [Read more…]
