food IS a theme park
Heading to the Disney Parks soon? Don’t go unprepared!
Cinderella Castle
We’ve finally reached the colder part of the year, which means it’s time to wear our favorite sweatshirts! Whether you’re looking for a new sweatshirt to sport at the Disney Parks or simply want to add to your at-home collection, we’ve got you covered with a few recommendations that you can pick up RIGHT NOW on Amazon.
The one thing we LOVE about visiting Disney World is that once you’re on property, you have a multitude of transportation options to get you all over the resort, to and from the parks, to and from the hotels, and to and from Disney Springs. It’s so nice not to have to drive anywhere, thanks to Disney buses, the Skyliner, the Monorail, and boats.

However, sometimes a transportation option gets closed for whatever reason, and that can kinda put a wrench in your plans, although Disney always offers an alternative mode of transportation. Well, one transportation option, the boat that travels between Disney Springs and Disney’s Old Key West Resort, recently closed for refurbishment, but we’re happy to report that the boat is now available again and open for service.
Although you can find some really good food in Disney World’s theme parks, some of the BEST food at the resort is hiding at the hotels, and that’s where you’ll find many of our faves. Now, one restaurant we often return to is Grand Floridian Cafe at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, but it’s been closed since July.
That burger, though
Well, we’ve got some good news. The Grand Floridian Cafe has finally reopened, and we’re checking it out, including new food and beverages! So let’s start by taking a peek inside to see what’s changed.
Recently, Disney has announced new lands, attractions, and entertainment headed to the theme parks, new ships coming to the Disney Cruise Line, and so much more. But what about those projects that Disney hasn’t exactly announced yet?
Star Tours
Keeping up with the latest construction permits Disney World files can be a great way to find out just what is going on around the parks and hotels, and we recently spotted some you might want to know about!
Uh oh, we fear we may have another Figment Popcorn Bucket debacle on our hands, but this time, it’s all about one of our favorite chipmunks, Dale.

Chip’s chaos-loving partner is having a moment. The new Dale figurine has vanished from shelves at Walt Disney World and from Disney’s online store, shortly after it launched at $50. Now the scramble has moved to the resale market, where listings on eBay are asking five times that price, and similar listings have turned up on Mercari. For collectors who missed the drop, the red-nosed chipmunk has become one of the hardest-to-find pieces in the parks.
Attention, parents of little Disney fans, you aren’t going to want to miss out on this deal!

Ready to get an early start on your holiday shopping? We found an AWESOME Disney deal on Amazon that’s too good to pass up!
A new store has opened in Disney Springs, and we think it’s going to be the most popular this holiday season. Disney World has a lot of stores in its shopping district, but this one might just take the cake for pure fun.
You can find it in the Marketplace section
Kawaii Slime Company has officially opened in the Marketplace district at Disney Springs, where the face painting kiosk used to be. Come check out the new space with us!
When it comes to Walt Disney World needs, there are few more important than a water bottle! After all, staying hydrated is ESSENTIAL to a trip to the “Most Magical Place on Earth.”

If you’re in the market for a new water bottle, Amazon offers several options from one of our favorite brands, Hydro Flask, in a series of NEW colors.
Who doesn’t love a good meal at Disney World?! There are tons of great options to eat at, but that sometimes means running into the problem of being unable to decide where to go.
Fairfax Fare
There are a lot of restaurants to sit-down at in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but don’t sleep on some of the quick-service locations. We recently checked out Fairfax Fare, and we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip? Let’s find out!
It’s almost impossible to keep up with all the changes happening in Disney World right now. Three of Disney World’s four parks are under construction, with new lands, new rides, and more coming soon. Hotels are busy with refurbishments and more.
Promenade Fine Art Gallery
We’ve also seen several stores closing throughout the resort, including Promenade Fine Art Gallery, which was located on Disney’s BoardWalk. Well, that store will be reopening again soon near Disney World, and we’ve got all the details.
