food IS a theme park
What are the absolute BEST restaurants in Disney Springs?
Inside the Polite Pig
We’ve got a mix of quick services and table services making up our top 10 list TODAY – so you’ll know which ones the DFB team and I can agree are worth the pit stop.
Okay, so we know a lot of folks are planning trips to Universal Orlando for 2026 — and we get it. Maybe you waited for the initial excitement of Epic Universe’s grand opening to quiet down so you can visit Universal’s new park without as many crowds (although we expect to see crowds in Epic Universe for a while).
Jurassic Park River Adventure
Or maybe you’re just skipping Disney World because of all the construction and opting for a Universal Orlando vacation instead, which is also totally understandable. However, if you WILL be visiting Universal Orlando in 2026, you’ll need a heads up about one popular ride: Jurassic Park River Adventure will be closed for most of the year.
If you’ll excuse us, we’re about to spend our whole paycheck and only minorly regret it.
Loungefly bags in EPCOT
We just spotted a TON of new Loungefly bags on Amazon, and the best time to grab them is NOW before people start seeing them around the parks and snagging them online. We’re not sure if we’ll see these in the parks, so don’t wait — act now!
We’re beyond grateful for all the incredible Disney Cast Members and the magic they create in the parks!

However, one Cast Member always makes us smile when we see him in Magic Kingdom, right at his normal spot near Casey’s Corner. If you head over near this restaurant, you may notice that there’s a piano inside a little gate, so guests can’t play it, but very special Cast Members can. They don’t just play the piano, though — they’re incredible musicians that really create magic and nostalgia with the way they play, and that’s ESPECIALLY true for one Cast Member named Grayson, who was just recognized for his incredible work!
Something very cool is coming to Orlando, and we’re ready to go and buy our new Disney pajamas and all the other accessories we need without having to head to the parks.
Primark
According to the Orlando Business Journal, Primark, a U.K. brand with affordable clothing, home goods, and beauty products, is set to open a second location in Orlando.
Who’s already planning their holiday travel? Raise those hands!
Orlando International Airport
If you’re going out of town for Thanksgiving, Christmas, the New Year, or any of the other big holidays, then you’re definitely not alone! The last few weeks of the year tend to be peak travel season in the United States, and that means that it will be EXPENSIVE to fly. So when is the best time to buy those flights? We’ve got the answer.
It’s no secret that we’re BIG fans of the food you’ll find on the menu at one of the finest southern restaurants in all of Disney World, but it might come as a shock that there’s a bit of a debate between our team on which of this fan-favorite restaurant’s desserts takes the top spot in our taste buds.
Homecomin’
We recently stopped by Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ at Disney Springs to find out which of their desserts reigns supreme, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!
When you’re heading to Disney World, deciding what bag to use sounds like it would be an easy choice, but alas, we’ve learned time and time again that choosing the WRONG bag can be disastrous.
ODODOS Daily Sling Bag
We’ve tried out dozens of different bags in the parks, and while some of them weren’t exactly great fits, there’s also ones like THIS that totally blow our socks off (when we totally expected the opposite).
Not all Disney restaurants are created equal!.
Skipper Dan’s Dan Dan Noodles
There are a lot of restaurants scattered across Walt Disney World property, to the point that it can sometimes become overwhelming to choose where to eat. That’s where we come in to help! So if you plan on visiting Disney World in 2025, we’re just going to tell you which restaurants you need to head to.
We’re flipping out over here because some of our favorite celebrities have just been announced to be part of Disney’s newest film!
