food IS a theme park
Have you ever wanted to take a Disney Cruise?

Setting sail with Disney Cruise Line is a completely different kind of adventure than you’ll have in Disney Parks, and we recommend trying it at least once. We are currently on the Disney Magic Cruise Ship, and we got to be among the first people to see Disney’s new private destination, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. Of course, we checked ALL the food to bring you some honest reviews.
A lot is about to happen in Magic Kingdom.
Pirates of the Caribbean
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open on June 28th, but early previews of the new ride have already started for some Disney World visitors. A new MASSIVE expansion is coming to the park, too, along with a bar inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean. Yes, we said it — a Pirates of the Caribbean BAR is coming to Magic Kingdom. Now, we don’t have many details about this bar or where it will go, but y’all…we think we just found a HUGE clue about its location.
There is one snack spot in Disney World that seems to be having an identity crisis.
Energy Bytes
When Energy Bytes originally opened in Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom (you’ll find it over near TRON Lightcycle / Run), the menu featured dumplings, donut holes, and a fun futuristic dessert. The snack spot later added a few new drinks and more unique snacks. However, the menu at Energy Bytes recently got a complete overhaul, so we’re trying NEW food there AGAIN.
Okay, it’s time to have a real talk about Disney World.
Rise of the Resistance
Yes, Disney World IS The Most Magical Place on Earth, but let’s just say some things have happened…and well, we’ve been through some things. We’ve had some very questionable drinks and snacks, obviously (because we do try to eat EVERYTHING). We’ve also had some strange experiences. But let’s talk about rides. We’ve also had some pretty bad ride experiences. So we’ve decided to share those with you (because we’re suckers for punishment).
It’s a HUGE day at Tokyo Disney Resort: a brand new land…well, technically, THREE new lands have opened today in Tokyo DisneySea in a new expansion called Fantasy Springs.
Peter Pan’s Never Land
Fantasy Springs is Tokyo Disney Sea’s BIGGEST expansion and features lands dedicated to Peter Pan, Tangled, and Frozen. The expansion also includes a brand-new hotel INSIDE Fantasy Springs, Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel. Well, now that Fantasy Springs is officially open, let’s take a good look at this massive new magical world.
Disney World has been very busy building something HUGE over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.

The resort is getting a whole new building with new Disney Vacation Club (DVC) villas. We’ve been following the construction of the project ever since it began, and Disney even recently revealed the new building will be called Island Tower and will officially open in December 2024 (which isn’t as far away as it might seem). Up to ow, only select groups of Disney World visitors have been able to book rooms in Island Tower, but today, EVERYONE can book one of these brand new rooms.
Okay, Disney World people, are you jealous of the Pixar Fest happening right now in Disneyland? Why can’t we get something like that in Disney World? WHY?!?!?!
Pixar Plaza
We’ll admit that we’ve had some SERIOUS FOMO that we seem to be missing out on all the Pixar fun, entertainment, and food. Disney World may not be getting something like Pixar Fest (which is a SHAME), but we do have some good news: Disney World will be getting some new Pixar-themed food and souvenirs. That’s something, right?
Okay, we have to ask, Disney, what is this sudden obsession with croissants?
Amorette’s Patisserie
Yes, croissants are generally basic, but lately, Disney World has been offering up all kinds of over-the-top croissants, following a seriously viral croissant trend that’s taken the internet by storm. We’ve had a croissant stuffed with espresso (why get a croissant and a coffee when you can have both in one snack?) and a PB and J Croissant (no, really). We’ve also had a Croissant Cookie, which seems to be THE new croissant trend because we just had a DIFFERENT version of that very same snack.
Happy Pride Month, everyone! This is the time of year when we get to literally “taste the rainbow” of Disney World snacks, and we’ve eaten our share of Pride treats recently, including a Pride Mousse Dome with Mickey Ears. There are a ton of other Pride snacks to grab, though, so we’re making our way around Disney World to eat our fill of rainbow treats.
Amorette’s Patisserie
We recently headed to Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs to try a new snack there, and let’s just say — it didn’t go as well as we might have expected.
One of the BEST parts of going to Disney World is meeting characters — in fact, some might argue that character meet-and-greets are even better than some Disney rides.
Hollywood Studios
There are also so many ways to meet characters in Disney World, too. You’ve got the traditional set meet-and-greets that happen at certain locations throughout the parks. Some characters can be caught roaming around the parks. You can also meet characters at character dining experiences. For those who want to meet a certain Inside Out 2 character, though, there will soon be a new way to do so.
