This Disney World trip R.E.P.O.R.T. isn’t for the faint of heart because I am ready to SPILL the TEA about my latest visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth.
I’ve been going to Disney World since before I could walk and I’m lucky to still live within a few hours of the parks, so I visit every chance I get — for business and for pleasure (I am an editor here at Disney Food Blog after all, so sometimes it really IS my job to go to Disney World!). My latest trip to Disney World was actually to celebrate my latest trip around the sun, and I’ve got some HOT takes about what I experienced.
The Main Street Confectionery in Magic Kingdom serves up the best treats to satisfy your sweet tooth!
You’ll find caramel apples, frozen Glacier drinks, and many other fun snacks. There are a lot of sweets (and savory snacks) to try at this shop. Plus, if you’re a lover of popcorn, you can create your own popcorn mix or try one of their seasonal mixes at the Kernel Kitchen inside the Confectionery. We recently stopped by for a snack and happened to notice a new popcorn mix being offered! So of course, we had to try it.
It’s time for some shopping!

Loungefly bags are great park bags!

Construction walls have officially gone up in DinoLand U.S.A. at Animal Kingdom.

Astro Orbiter is now closed for refurbishment in Magic Kingdom.
The ride officially closed on January 13th for maintenance, and it will once again open later this year.
2025 is here and we’re already thinking about the trends we will see at Disney World this year.

Magic Kingdom
With so much happening in Disney World this year, we want to be ready to tackle it all while wearing cute, comfortable Disney clothing. So this latest collection caught our eye and now, we think this is what everyone will be fighting to get their hands on for their Disney trip.
Sometimes you can’t just walk up to a Disney World attraction and get in the queue.
If a Disney ride has gone down and the queue has needed to be evacuated, you won’t be able to stand in line to wait (though you can stand around the ride if you’d like, but we don’t recommend that if the Cast Members are hinting that the ride could be down for awhile). However, there are a handful of Disney World rides that have what are called Virtual Queues, and you must enter one of those to be able to ride. If you’re heading to the parks this year and haven’t been in a while, these are the only rides we expect to continue using Virtual Queues this year.
