Have you ever wanted to dine and drink like a pirate from Pirates of the Caribbean? Well, Disney offers you that opportunity at The Beak and Barrel in Magic Kingdom. The entire bar is pirate-themed, and, as a result, it’s a pretty popular spot where getting reservations can be difficult at times.

A lot of construction is happening in Disney World right now, thanks to all the new lands and expansions coming to the parks. One is Pueblo Esperanza, a new Tropical Americas-themed land coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, which is taking over the area once inhabited by DinoLand U.S.A.

By Leave a Comment

We’re only about a week away from the rest of The Walt Disney Studios opening in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and we can’t wait to see The Magic of Disney Animation with our own eyes.

Pua and Thumper in Walt Disney Studios Courtyard

However, part of The Walt Disney Studios opened earlier this year, and we’ve noticed that Disney doesn’t seem to be completely finished with this part of the project yet either. That’s because we recently discovered something NEW in the outdoor courtyard of the new area: MORE animals have appeared!

Beaches and Cream, The BOATHOUSE, and 17 More Disney World Restaurants CHANGED This Week

By 1 Comment

Y’all…we’ve been eating REALLY well in Disney World this week, and you know how happy that makes us. First, pumpkin spice latte season is BACK at Starbucks, but what we really loved this year was the Iced Banana Bread Latte. Then we got to dig into some spooky-themed food and drinks at The Great Hooley at Raglan Road. And, of course, we indulged in another cake slice from The Cake Bake Shop. And did we mention we drank a wine slushy flight?

And we’re not even full! Which is good because we’ve also been checking Disney World restaurant menus this week, and we’ve seen some big changes, including some new food being added. So let’s take a look at all the menu updates we spotted at Disney World restaurants this week.

September Prices CONFIRMED for Disney World’s Lightning Lane System

By Leave a Comment

Are you traveling to Disney World this month? September can be a great time to visit the parks because many kids are back in school, meaning you might see fewer crowds in the parks. However, there are almost ALWAYS going to be crowds in Disney World, which means you might still face long standby lines in rides.

Kilimanjaro Safaris Lightning Lane

Of course, you can bypass those long standby lines by purchasing Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass, but depending on the day you visit, the prices for those could fluctuate. So we’re giving you the full price list for Lightning Lane in September 2026.

Why Your Fave Breakfast Cereals Might Look A Little Different

By 1 Comment

There has been a huge shift in the American food industry as the controversial Red Dye No. 3 is being banned from all food and drinks in the country. Although red dye is the only dye that is currently being banned, many food manufacturers have started changing up their ingredients to get rid of all artificial dyes: even the Mars company, which makes M&Ms, is trying to go completely artificial dye-free.

Lucky Charms!

Well, this trend is starting to spread throughout the food industry. Now, according to NBC News, two of your favorite colorful breakfast cereals are also getting rid of all artificial dyes. Yes, Lucky Charms and Trix might soon look a little different.

A 32-Year-Old Ride Is Closing Soon At This Popular Theme Park

By Leave a Comment

We might be obsessed with Disney Parks and go to Disney World and Disneyland almost every day, but we love other theme parks, too! We’ve recently spent time at Dollywood (which we loved), as well as Universal Kids Resort. We also visit Universal Orlando quite a bit (and we’re obsessed with Epic Universe).

Well, one of the most popular parks in the U.S. is Hersheypark (and who can’t love a theme park based around a chocolate company?). However, if you’ll be visiting Hersheypark soon, we’ve got a warning: a popular ride will be permanently closing there soon.

REVIEW: This EPCOT Food & Wine Festival Breakfast Got More Expensive and Less Boozy

By Leave a Comment

We’ll admit that when it comes to breakfasts in Disney World, we’re more the type of people who will grab a quick breakfast sandwich or pastry and a coffee so that we have just enough fuel to hit the ground running when we make it to the parks. Now, of course, we do occasionally enjoy a character breakfast, but we’re there more for the characters than the food.

Time for breakfast!

However, there’s one limited-time breakfast buffet in Disney World that we always make time for, although it’s pricey and can take up some valuable park time. However, we’ll always make a beeline to Chefs de France for the Parisian Breakfast that happens there during the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. Now, a few things have changed about this breakfast this year, so does it still meet our high standards, and is it worth it? Let’s find out.
