food IS a theme park
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is a little short on dining options right now. Sure, you can get your Pulled Pork Nachos at Capt. Cook’s, but some of our FAVORITE spots here like ‘Ohana, Trader Sam’s, and Spirit of Aloha are closed still.

But there’s one reliable restaurant that is here to fill the void: Kona Cafe!

Magic Kingdom
In every single land, it seems like there are decisions to be made! Should you ride Splash Mountain or Big Thunder Mountain Railroad? Should you buy a Disney World T-shirt or Minnie ears?!
Disneyland reopened in late April, but not EVERY restaurant opened with the parks. Now, Blue Bayou Restaurant has REOPENED inside Disneyland’s New Orleans Square!
Blue Bayou!
If you’re a frequent diner at Blue Bayou: one, lucky you! Two, the reopened restaurant looks a little different. There are additional health and safety measures as well as a major menu update: ALCOHOL! This has NEVER been allowed here before, so we were pretty excited to see what having a drink on the bayou would be like. Let’s check it out!
Walt Disney World is OFFICIALLY turning 50 on October 1st of this year!

EPCOT
There are a few shows and specials on Disney’s streaming service that bring us to the parks, like the Disney Parks Sunrise Series, Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and The Imagineering Story! But in during the J.P. Morgan Global Technology, Media, and Communications Conference, Disney CEO Bob Chapek shared that the company has a secret weapon down the pipeline for parks fans…
Stitch Crashes Disney keeps on coming, even though this collection sometimes makes us wonder “WHO thought this was a good idea?!”
Spaghetti Stitch, in all his messy glory
Some of the Stitches have been befuddling (Spaghetti Stitch, aka Lady and the Tramp Stitch), others have been straight-up scary (the red eyes on The Lion King Stitch haunt our dreams). But, this month’s release, tied to The Little Mermaid, is the first in this line that has us thinking…alright, we could maybe buy that.
We’re less than ONE MONTH away from the grand opening of Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure!

It’s American Craft Beer Week, and there’s NOWHERE in Disney World we’d rather celebrate than at City Works Eatery & Pour House!
City Works in Disney Springs
This Disney Springs spot has DOZENS and DOZENS of beers available, so of course they’re doing Craft Beer Week right with some limited-time dishes!
Disney is going ALL in on the 2020s Crocs trend!
