food IS a theme park
If you’re planning a trip to Disney World soon, then this is the post you desperately need.
Did you miss the big Disney news?!
You might think you know everything about Disney World, but things are changing. From new discounts you can take advantage of to changes made to the Park Pass reservation system, if you haven’t caught up with the latest news you could make some big mistakes. Here’s all the recent news you need to know.
If you haven’t been to Magic Kingdom in a minute, it’s time to sit back, relax, and get caught up on the latest news!
Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom has been quite the busy place, with Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, new spooky snacks, and new Minnie ears. Let’s take a look at everything that’s NEW in Magic Kingdom!
Space bunks, blue shrimp, and out-of-this-world activities — there’s a little bit of everything waiting for you at Disney World’s Star Wars Hotel (Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser).
Star Wars Hotel
Though often referred to as a “hotel,” this Starcruiser experience is more like a cruise-type vacation where most food and activities are included. You can train with a lightsaber, interact with Star Wars characters, and live out your very own Star Wars story. Will you become a Jedi or help the First Order? It’s up to you! While bookings for 2022 are currently available, those looking to book a 2023 Star Wars Hotel experience can now get started with their planning!
You could save $4,800 or MORE on a Disney Vacation Club membership. 🤯 We’ll say the key parts of that again slowly. Save. $4,800. Or MORE. Right NOW!
Disney Vacation Club
Disney Vacation Club is Disney’s own version of a timeshare. DVC members use a vacation points system. They can use the vacation points they have to book stays at a variety of eligible hotels. But joining DVC can cost you a pretty penny. Ever wished you could join DVC but also save some cash? Well, now is your chance!
If you’ve taken a trip to the grocery store recently, you may have been met with quite the shock upon seeing the bill. “What on earth just cost me $100?!” 😳 is what you may have been thinking (and we don’t blame ya).
Everyday items are getting more expensive
Everyday items have become very expensive over the past several months due, in part, to inflation, though other factors have also impacted food supplies and prices. We’ve seen smaller crop numbers in Florida’s citrus industry lead to predictions of increasing orange juice costs, and supply chain issues impact everything from chicken tenders to cream cheese. But those painful grocery bills could get a little bit better soon.
One of Disney’s BIGGEST events of the year — D23 Expo — is almost here!
D23 Expo Poster
During the Expo, Disney will be hosting panels about the future of Marvel movies, Disney animated movies, Disney live-action movies, the Disney parks, and SO MUCH MORE. But the D23 Expo is sold out, so you won’t be able to attend in person unless you already grabbed a ticket. So what can you do to make sure you hear all the latest news?! Well, we’ll be covering everything you need to know, but if you want to watch some of the action LIVE from your couch…you CAN!
Another Disney World restaurant is CHANGING!
Safari Mickey at Tusker House
Over the past few months, we’ve seen Disney World restaurants impacted by menu changes and price increases. We’ve also seen restaurants resume their traditional buffet service, bring character dining back, and make other changes. Soon, changes will be hitting another Disney dining spot!
If you are obsessed with Mickey-shaped food, get ready to go on an ADVENTURE. Whether it’s waffles, savory snacks, or Mickey premium bars, Mickey-shaped food just tastes better, right?!
Mickey Waffles
You probably know about alllllllll of the Mickey-shaped snacks you can get in the regular spots — like the ones mentioned above or those iconic Mickey-shaped beignets — but if you’re looking for a seriously EPIC Mickey-shaped snack, you’re going to have to visit a very unexpected spot!
🚨 RED ALERT. 🚨 The Magic Kingdom fireworks have CHANGED.
Enchantment
Now don’t get too excited. No, Happily Ever After isn’t back, and no, Wishes has not made its return to Magic Kingdom. The Most Magical Place on Earth is still showing off its 50th Anniversary Disney Enchantment fireworks, but those fireworks now feature a new segment that might just tug at your heartstrings!
Get out the popcorn, there are some NEW shows and movies coming to Disney+ in September!
