food IS a theme park
We all know exactly where to find Cinderella Castle in Disney World. Everyone knows about the good old “it’s a small world” attraction, too. But there are TONS of lesser-known things hiding in Disney World. Do you know about them?
Magic Kingdom
The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is an annual celebration of global cuisine in Disney World, and this year’s festival runs from July 27th – November 18th.
Food and Wine Festival (2022)
Not only can you expect all sorts of food booths and eats, merchandise, and fun experiences, but you’ll also be able to check out the Eat to the Beat concert series and grab a dining package to secure your seat. This year’s concert lineup was announced a while ago, but it looks like more artists have been added!
Disney World is a place that many of us visit to feel happy, nostalgic, and care-free for a few days. After all, it’s known as The Most Magical Place on Earth for a reason!
Isn’t she lovely?
However, as much as Disney does try to distract us from the stressors associated with the realities of everyday life, there are some things that even pixie dust can’t fix. Sometimes, bad things happen — even at Disney World. Sometimes, when you take a closer look at things, they don’t seem so magical after all. Disney has handled a global pandemic, countless hurricanes, and even hurricanes and fires. How does Disney prepare for these things, and how do they recover? Let’s talk about it!
Whew! Hottest summer we’ve had in years. Well, it certainly feels like it anyway.
Magic Kingdom Train Station
Summer has arrived in Disney World and that means lots of crowds, heat, and exclusive eats! Disney announced that a ton of treats would be coming to the parks for the 4th of July, and we found one that is just about perfect for Uncle Sam (if Uncle Sam was very, very small.)
Oogie Boogie Bash is a very popular Halloween party that takes place at Disneyland Resort. Tickets for the event went on sale to the general public (after Magic Key Holder tickets sold out in the pre-sale), and it’s safe to say that things did NOT go well.
Parade Time!
Only a short time after we joined the queue, we got a notification informing us that ticket sales had been temporarily paused. But several hours after that update, Disney updated the page once again to inform us that the temporary pause will actually last MUCH longer than we expected. [Read more…]
Ok, we need to talk about Disney California Adventure. It’s got fun snacks, real superheroes, and the COOLEST Spider-Man animatronic we’ve EVER seen.
Groot at Disney California Adventure’s Avengers Campus
Not only that, but there are tons of special Marvel offerings that only happen on the West Coast, like the new Avengers Campus show, Rogers: The Musical. Come with us to see it for the first time!
Disney World Halloween Party tickets are on sale, Halloween-inspired decorations are arriving in stores, and we’re already planning out this year’s Halloween costume!
Happy Halloween (in June!)
Now, it seems like even the Disney World parks are getting in on the holiday spirit! Recently, we found some Halloween merchandise hiding in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and you KNOW we have to show it off.
You won’t believe what we discovered in Disney Springs recently. As you may know, Disney Springs has been going through quite a few big changes lately. We’ve seen new shopping spots appear, old stores disappear, and even a shop relocation or two!
World of Disney in Disney Springs
On a recent trip to Disney Springs, we were SHOCKED to find another store was closed during our visit. Let’s take a look.
If you want to eat at a sit-down restaurant in Disney World, you pretty much HAVE to make advanced dining reservations. But here’s the problem: sometimes those dining reservations are TRICKY to get!
Be Our Guest tables
It’s probably not news to you, but just in case you haven’t heard, a LOT of people visit Disney World every single day. 😅 And a lot of those people want to eat at Disney World’s fantastic restaurants! So what complications might you encounter when trying to book a table and how can you overcome those problems? We’ve got the answers.
We know we talk about Disney World a LOT here, but we’re going to switch gears and talk about something else.
Universal Orlando
We know a lot of Disney World fans ALSO go to Universal Orlando quite a bit (and why not? They’re both in the same area!). Maybe you’re even Disney World Annual Passholders. But if you’ve ever considered becoming a Universal Orlando Passholder, we might just have the very thing to convince you to sign up — you can now get FREE months on a pass!
