food IS a theme park

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a special ticketed event where guests can celebrate spooky season at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. The event brings exclusive entertainment, snacks, merchandise, and experiences. With everything you can do at MNSSHP, you’d be surprised at what we think the longest line will be for this year!
When you’re packing for a Disney trip, you’re likely trying to make sure you have everything you need, while also trying not to overpack and leave room for the souvenirs you may bring home.

We’ve been there many times, so we’re always on the lookout for the best essentials you’ll need on your trip. Ones that will help you save room in your bag while also making sure you don’t break the bank. For those of us who are traveling soon but on a MAJOR budget, we just found three essentials on Amazon that are all under $15, and we guarantee they’ll make your trip easier.
The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is coming up REALLY soon, and we are so ready to eat our way around all the food booths (and get you reviews because that’s what we do). We’re also ready to listen to some LIVE music performances, chase a rat around World Showcase for a prize, and eat a ton of cheese for another prize.

However, another thing to look forward to is the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival merchandise, and, well, Disney just gave us a first look at what you’ll be able to buy at this year’s festival. So let’s check it out!!
If you’re looking for your new favorite Loungefly bag, we’ve got you covered. Loungefly just released 14 brand-new mini backpacks that will make your next outing 10 times more magical!

Choosing a water bottle for Disney World is important, especially because you want it to be great for the parks, but you also want to use it a ton when you’re back at home, so you feel like you’re getting your money’s worth.

One of our favorite brands that we keep returning to is none other than Stanley, especially now that there are so many different designs, many of which don’t have a lot of the leak problems some of the earliest designs did. If you’ve been eying a new water bottle for your trip, we’ve particularly become obsessed with these new ones on Amazon!
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn is a great hotel to stay at thanks to its proximity to EPCOT and several other EPCOT-area hotels. This not only gives you access to EPCOT and the Skyliner, but also to many other hotels and restaurants in the area. However, we’ve got a word of warning if you’ll be staying at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn soon.

Now, there’s already a bit of construction happening around Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, but now, we’ve got yet another closure to tell you about at this resort.
If you’ve been to Disneyland, you might agree with us when we say that Disneyland has some of the best food, snacks, and drinks of ALL the parks. Between things like churros, churro toffee, Mickey beignets, and corn dogs, Disneyland just keeps CRUSHING the food game.
New snacks alert!
However, Disneyland also releases a lot of delicious seasonal and limited-time treats, and something new is arriving all the time. So when we learned about four new snacks in Downtown Disney and at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel, we rushed to the shopping and dining district to check them out for ourselves.
Don’t be patient — head over to Amazon ASAP to take advantage of these sweet deals!
Save BIG on this FuelRod!
We’re often on the hunt for essentials that will improve our days at the Disney parks — and Amazon often delivers the goods. Not only can you find an essential for every situation, but you’ll often come across impossible-to-ignore deals. In fact, we’ve found several that we can’t wait to share with you!
Could a popular ride be temporarily closing at Disney’s Hollywood Studios soon?

We recently saw that Walt Disney World filed a construction permit for Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Hollywood Studios, and it looks like maintenance work could be coming. Let’s talk about what we know so far!
Alright, friends — because we love you too much to let you make these mistakes at EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival.
Flavors From Fire spread at the 2025 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
The 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is BACK, running August 27th through November 21st. We’re talking Global Marketplace booths stretched across six continents (and beyond!), the return of Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak scavenger hunt for the Pixar fans, Emile’s Fromage Montage for anyone who thinks “cheese” is a personality trait, and of course the Eat to the Beat Concert Series bringing free nightly performances to America Gardens Theatre. But before you lace up your walking shoes and start planning your festival day, we need to talk about the mistakes we see SO many guests make every single year.
