food IS a theme park
You guys will not believe what I’m about to tell you…they’re back at it AGAIN.
NOT AGAIN!
Okay, if you’ve been around here for a while now, you might believe me when I tell you that the Tiny Train Town residents in EPCOT‘s Germany Pavilion are up to their usual antics of crime, tomfoolery, and malarkey. These guys are EXPERTS at nonsense by now, and as their mayor, it’s my job to keep you in the loop with what’s going on. So let’s dive in!
If you’re heading on a cruise this year, you might want to take some extra caution when it comes to your health and safety.

This year, there have been multiple sickness outbreaks on cruises, and now, another is being added to the list. In the latest news, more than 90 passengers and crew members on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship have fallen ill with norovirus.
It’s Halloween season, and that means the fast food restaurants are getting in on the spooky season fun!
The Boo Buckets!
Of course, when we think of Halloween at fast food restaurants, there’s one big item that comes to mind — the Boo Buckets at McDonald’s! These iconic Happy Meals make us long for the days of our childhood, and if you mark Boo Bucket season on your calendar every year, you’ll be happy to know that they’re returning in 2025.

The Disney Destiny takes its maiden voyage on November 20th, 2025, and it’ll be setting sail with new dining options, new entertainment, new staterooms, and so much more. And now, Disney has announced a special entertainment offering in the Grand Hall of the ship — traveling storytellers!
There has been some sneaky construction happening in Disney World recently, but we are ON THE JOB.
Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We’ve been keeping an eye on several ongoing projects recently, from new lands to ride refurbishments and everything in between. But one particular project has been a little mysterious and intriguing — the construction currently happening in Toy Story Land. Now, we know that a new snack stand is coming!
TRON Lightcycle / Run is one of the most popular rides in Magic Kingdom, but sometimes I run into problems when I ride it.
TRON Lightcycle / Run
Whether it’s the ridiculously long wait times, struggles with the lockers, or difficulties with the (in my opinion) uncomfortable seating situation, this ride can be a fairly unique experience. But recently, I encountered some problems with the lockers before hopping on the coaster, and I’m here to share with you the solutions I discovered!
In 2024, I had a really bizarre restaurant experience in Disney World.
Big River Grille
As one of the reporters on our team, I visit restaurants around Disney World frequently to do dining reviews, and in January 2024, I was tasked with going to Big River Grille on the BoardWalk. At the time, this was a rather under-the-radar spot that wasn’t often talked about, so I was eager to experience it for myself. But imagine my surprise when the restaurant shut down within a week of my visit!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park is the land of a million snack stands.
Mr. Kamal’s
Okay, maybe not quite a million, but it’s certainly home to quite a few, each with their own unique and adventurous menu. One of our favorite places to grab a snack in the park is Mr. Kamal’s, and recently, we stopped by to try two of the menu items to see if they’re still up to scratch!
If you’re planning a trip to EPCOT soon, there’s something you should know!
2025 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
The holiday season has arrived in Disney World. The Disney World parks and hotels are decorated. Over at EPCOT, the International Festival of the Holidays kicks off the day after Thanksgiving and runs through the end of the year, and it’s a big draw. That’s why Disney is updating EPCOT’s park hours.
Tucked away at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge — Kidani Village is one of our favorite hidden gem restaurants.
Bread Service at Sanaa
Sanaa is a table service spot that’s situated on the edge of the savanna, so the windows offer a stunning view of the animals during the daytime. It’s not usually hard to get a reservation here, but the food is usually pretty great. I recently stopped by for a little bit of quality control testing, so let’s do a full, updated restaurant review — come along with me!
