food IS a theme park
Jambo
! We’re at Disney’s Animal Kingdom today to show you What’s New in the park! Come along!
Hello from the Animal Kingdom!
On Discovery Island, Isle of Java now has the Simba Cupcake. [Read more…]
that PizzeRizzo, the muppets-themed counter-service pizza joint in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, was doomed to be a “seasonal” operation…meaning it would only open during the busiest seasons.

After a long closure, it seems that Rizzo the Rat’s restaurant is showing as open again on the Disney World website. But for how long?
It’s not often we get to use our Hot Dog Alert, but today’s the day: Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom will stop selling foot-long hot dogs and monthly Hot Diggity Dogs!
Foot-long Cheesy Hot Diggity Dog
But all hope is not lost if you long for a dog longer than an average human foot because the foot-long dogs have moved to another popular quick service restaurant in the park! [Read more…]
Ahoy! The new kids-only Captain Hook’s Pirate Crew is now open at Disney’s Beach Club Resort and is setting sail nightly with new pirate recruits!
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
This swashbuckling new option is for kids ages 4-12 who get to cruise around Crescent Lake on a quest for a hidden treasure!
Pirates Adventure
Before hitting the high seas the young Buccaneers will get official pirate names, solve puzzles, and gather their clues on land!
Great news (maybe?) if you’re going to be a Disney World hotel guest after Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens on August 29th!
Disney is extending park hours AND adding more Extra Magic Hour options to alleviate the Galaxy’s Edge crowds that will be flooding the Orlando parks this fall. So…yeah…it’s gonna be CROWDED in Disney World, but at least you can plan to get up really early and maybe not get as lost in the sea of humanity as you would have otherwise.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
FYI, Extra Magic Hours are times when the parks are open exclusively for guests staying at resort hotels that offer the Extra Magic Hour benefit — those include the Disney World-owned resort hotels and several good neighbor hotels in the area.
They’re usually only offered at one or two parks per day, but this year, from September 1-November 2, those guests will be able to experience Extra Magic Hours at three Disney World theme parks…EVERY SINGLE DAY.
It’s been a BIG week at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and we’re bringing you lots of What’s New from the birthday park! That’s right: Hollywood Studios turned thirty this week! We were on hand for the 30th anniversary celebration.

Just a few days ago we were paying our first visit and eating our way through the menu at the new Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes in the Downtown Disney District of Disneyland Resort.
Black Tap Craft Burger and Shakes
While the experience was a great one overall, Black Tap’s signature CrazyShakes were an absolute highlight. That’s why we’re so excited to let you know that an all-new CrazyShake has taken a spot on the Black Tap menu (both here in Downtown Disney and at Black Tap locations worldwide) starting today! Are you ready for this? It’s the Churro Choco Taco CrazyShake.
Keep an eye out for the Mike Wazowski Sipper in Disney’s Animal Kingdom…

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is welcoming the newest member to the park’s family, a baby gorilla!

And for a limited time at Tamu Tamu Refreshments in the park’s Africa, you can celebrate Grace’s arrival with the “It’s A Girl” Cupcake! [Read more…]
