The Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend is coming up NEXT WEEK, and we’ve already seen the themes of each race, as well as mentally preparing ourselves for the crowds runDisney events bring to the parks. Runners, though, will have some new motivation when they get a look at some of the merchandise Disney will be releasing for the event!
Okay, so what’s your favorite Disneyland snack? Some of you might crave those hand-dipped corn dogs (YUM). Some of you might walk around the parks with a churro in each hand (guilty!).
Mickey Beignets
So let’s also talk about those Mickey Beignets from Mint Julep Bar, because those are one of our favorites. But right now, the Mint Julep bar is closed. OH NO! 😮 Don’t worry, though, because you’ll be able to get your Mickey Beignet craving satisfied elsewhere in the park.
Did you know that the Disneyland Hotel is one of Disney’s OLDEST properties?
Disneyland Hotel
That’s right — the hotel opened just a few months after Disneyland opened in 1955, and it’s been around ever since. Sure, it’s undergone some renovations (and is getting more right now), but it still has that classic Disneyland vibe guests know and love. But what is it like staying in a room here? Well, join us now as we give you a full tour of a Disneyland Hotel room!
Many guests might say that Disney’s Hollywood Studios is their favorite park, and we totally get it.
Frozone
The park has a fun classic Hollywood vibe but also offers entire lands dedicated to Toy Story and Star Wars. The park also has some unique restaurants, like Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater and 50s Prime Time Cafe PLUS it has a fan-favorite ride in Tower of Terror. So what’s been happening at Hollywood Studios lately? Let’s check it out!
This is the way. If you know what that means, you get the hype behind The Mandalorian on Disney+.

The story that is part Adventures in Babysitting in space brought together a hardened Mandalorian with the cutest little green alien we’ve ever seen in Star Wars. Now, that show’s third season premieres on Disney+ SOON and Disney just released an adorable clip from one of those new episodes.
Okay, so you know us — we get excited about food!
TRON Lightcyle / Run
That’s why we are keeping an eye on the construction of some new restaurants in Disney World, why we scouted out ALL the Valentine’s Day snacks, and we keep checking on menu updates at restaurants throughout the Disney parks and hotels. Well, now, we just noticed a NEW snack stand being set up in Magic Kingdom — over by TRON Lightcycle / Run.
EPCOT has been a hotbed of activity in Disney World for several years now.
EPCOT Festival of the Arts
The park is still in the middle of a massive transformation, and if you’ve visited recently, you’ve probably been surrounded by construction walls in the front of the park. That’s because Imagineers are working on a new Moana-themed attraction, as well as some other things. But what else is going on at EPCOT? Well, let’s find out.
Okay, so we know there is almost always a festival happening at EPCOT.
2023 EPCOT Festival of the Arts
But, hey, we do have our favorites, and one of those is the EPCOT Festival of the Arts. Not only do we love the artistic take on foods we see at the food booths, but we also love seeing all the artists at the festival, as well as enjoying the Disney on Broadway concert series. This festival is just so much fun. But it’s ending soon, so this is your reminder!
Okay, so Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and you know what that means — LOTS of new snacks to try in Disney World.
Trolley Car Cafe
Yes, this makes us excited — we’re not called Disney FOOD Blog for nothing! We’ve had a cake dedicated to an iconic Disney princess and her beast, a pair of cupcakes dedicated to Stitch and Angel, a Strawberry Dole Whip Sundae, and more. Now we’re trying a returning to treat, and let’s just say — we’re already confused about it this year.
EPCOT is a seriously underrated park.
Spaceship Earth at Night
First, this is where all those AMAZING festivals take place, with all those great food booths (we’re currently enjoying the EPCOT Festival of the Arts). Plus you can literally travel AROUND the world without ever leaving the park. Then there are the rides — Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind anyone? So let’s see what’s been going on at EPCOT recently.
