food IS a theme park
Another refurbishment will soon be underway at Magic Kingdom.
Dumbo

Ever wonder how HORRIBLE crowds are on the opening day of an EPCOT Festival (or whether they’re that bad at all)? Well, we’ve got the answer…
EPCOT Festival of the Arts
We’re live at the 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Arts, checking out the food studios, artistic performances, merchandise, and more. There’s a LOT going on, but don’t let it overwhelm you. We’re here to tell you everything you need to know before your visit. But you won’t be experiencing this Festival alone, so let’s take a look at those opening day crowds.
If you are looking to skip the line at some of Disney World’s most popular attractions, you may have considered purchasing Lightning Lane.
Mad Tea Party Lightning Lane
Lightning Lane is Disney World’s pay-to-skip-the-line service, and it recently replaced Genie+, and Genie+ replaced FastPass+. There are three different versions of Lightning Lane, which can get confusing. Lightning Lane Multi Pass is similar to both Genie+ and FastPass+. Lightning Lane Single Pass is the replacement for Individual Lightning Lane. The newest Lightning Lane offering is Lightning Lane Premier Pass, which some have compared to Universal’s pay-to-skip-the-line service, Express Pass.
Some people have very strong opinions about Lightning Lane as the service is not free; while everyone is entitled to their opinion, there are five Lightning Lane myths that you should stop believing.
2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year at Disney World — and it’s getting even more exciting!
Animal Kingdom
New residents are moving into the parks and no, we don’t mean Mike and Sulley at the new Monsters, Inc. Land coming to Hollywood Studios. Mae, an Asian small-clawed otter mom, recently welcomed a litter of pups at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and we couldn’t be more excited.
This is going to be a busy year for Disney World, in general, but a HUGE milestone is being celebrated in Disney Springs RIGHT NOW.
Gideon’s
Five years ago, Gideon’s Bakehouse moved into Disney Springs — and our lives have never been the same. We’ve had the opportunity to eat a lot of amazing cookies and cake slices, as well as indulge in that yummy Peanut Butter Cold Brew in those five years. Now, Gideon’s is celebrating its Disney Springs anniversary by offering a FREE gift plus a special NEW cookie.
The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts might just be kicking off, but Disney likes to keep us on our toes by releasing some news about a different EPCOT festival!
Flower & Garden Festival
Disney just announced the full list of restaurants for the Garden Rocks Dining Packages during the 2025 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival.
In 2024, we got BIG news for Disney’s Hollywood Studios on future projects and we are so excited about what is to come.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
In case you missed it, they are adding a BRAND NEW THEMED LAND featuring our favorite monsters from MONSTERS, INC.! Disney recently revealed the location for the new area, and we’re going to have to say goodbye to the Muppets Courtyard. But don’t worry, they are just moving them to a Muppets-themed Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. While we don’t know the exact details of the new Monsters, Inc. Land, from Disney’s concept art, we can make some guesses. Get ready because we’re doing a deep dive into the art to gain some insight into potential new Disney restaurants coming.
It’s the most COLORFUL time of the year at EPCOT: the 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Arts!
