food IS a theme park
Disney World never ceases to surprise us!
Spaceship Earth and the Monorail
This week Disney made some unexpected Genie+ changes, some characters returned to their regular spot, and a useful form of technology went down temporarily, among LOTS of other news. Check it out here!
BLUE shrimp and a REAL lightsaber!? You’re going to want to be sure you have photo proof of it all when you stay at Disney World’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser! After all, you are paying $6,000 to be there — that earns you at least some bragging rights.

The new Disney “hotel” functions a lot more like a Disney cruise as opposed to a Disney Resort, as the cost includes a 2-night stay in a cabin or suite, most food and drink onboard, admission to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, valet parking, and a MagicBand, there are quite a few additional things that you can add onto your trip for an extra cost. This includes things like dining at the exclusive Captain’s Table, building your own droid or lightsaber when visiting Galaxy’s Edge, or a visit to Oga’s Cantina. And, now Disney has introduced ANOTHER add-on experience!
If you’ve ever had the pleasure of strolling down a boardwalk, you know that pizza is kind of a boardwalk staple. It’s one of those classic combinations that just makes sense, like Dole Whip in Adventureland or popcorn at the movies! Over at Disney California Adventure, we recently celebrated the reopening of Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta (FINALLY!), but after all that time away, how does the pizza taste at this newly reopened quick service location?
Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta reopened!
While we wait for the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival to begin, we figured we’d try some pizza to hold us over! Will this restaurant give us the happy feelings of being on the boardwalk on a sunny summer evening, or will it be a total flop? Let’s find out!
There’s a LOT to look forward to in Disney World this March! There’s the annual Flower and Garden Festival coming soon to EPCOT, the Festival of Fantasy parade, and the grand opening of the Star Wars hotel! Do you have plans to visit Disney World for any of these upcoming events?
The Tree of Life
If you’ve got a vacation to Disney World coming up during the first week of March, you might want to check out the weather forecast in Orlando. It’s been pretty warm in Central Florida, but things can change in the blink of an eye! Luckily, we’re back this week to take a look at next week’s weather forecast in Disney World!
The 2022 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival will kick off on March 2nd and we’ve got just the tool to help you hit all of your must-dos!
Hello There Buzz!
There’s A TON to look forward to at this year’s EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival. From the Garden Rocks Concerts, to Festival Special Events, to exclusive merchandise, we hardly know where to begin! Okay, that’s not exactly true, if you know us then you know we’re obviously making a beeline for those FOOD BOOTHS!
Flower displays and character topiaries may be slowly taking over EPCOT, but we’re also preparing for another food festival over in Disney California Adventure!
Disney California Adventure
Disney California Adventure’s Food & Wine Festival is set to kick off next week and we’re counting down the days to when we can try all the new (and returning) eats and drinks at over a dozen different Festival Marketplaces (also known as food booths). And, preparations are already underway in the park as many of the food booths are already popping up!
Thought all of the hype surrounding the Figment Popcorn Bucket was over? Well, the hottest item from this year’s EPCOT International Festival of the Arts just got even cooler!
Figment Popcorn Bucket
When the Festival of the Arts kicked off earlier this year, all eyes were on the Figment Popcorn Bucket. This small but mighty souvenir drew a line that topped six hours(!!) on the first day of the festival. The popcorn bucket saga got truly wild, with buckets reselling for HUNDREDS of dollars online. There was even a drawing of the must-have item that got a ton of hype!
What happens when your favorite ride or show is CLOSED in Disney World?
Expedition Everest
If you’ve been planning a trip for a while and getting everything in perfect order for this vacation, the last thing you want is to show up in the parks and realize your favorite attraction is not available. To prevent this unexpected disaster, we’ve compiled a list of all the closures next week in Disney World, from hotel pools to roller coasters and more. [Read more…]
Disney is ALWAYS working on new technology! We’ve been theorizing about what’s going on with a mysterious patent for a few months now, plus there’s that crazy-cool new character tech we saw at a D23 event. And don’t forget the “real” lightsaber we recently obsessed over back in October! But there’s one area where we haven’t seen any innovation in a LONG time: Minnie ears!
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
Listen, we love a new pair of Minnie ears. Lately, we’ve seen everything from bright green sequined ears to Alice in Wonderland Minnie ears, but now we found ANOTHER new pair of ears that come with a surprise!
How can you elevate your beverage from a refreshing treat to a drinking experience? Disney may have cracked the code!
Pym Test Kitchen
The Disney parks are no strangers to fun specialty drinks. Hey, the Fuzzy Tauntaun at Oga’s Cantina even goes as far as making your mouth NUMB! One place at Disney California Adventure that’s known for its inventive menu items is Pym Test Kitchen, located in the Marvel-themed Avengers Campus.
