food IS a theme park
We’re in the Disney World parks every day, so we keep an eye on any changes and updates that we spot.
Tree of Life

Looking for a way to get some serious, gummy worm-fueled refreshment in Disney World?
Animal Kingdom
There is just something about Halloween that makes Disney want to roll out the cocktails and mocktails filled with gummy worms. Look, we get it, worms are spooky — but BOY does Disney World love those wriggly gummies. It just wouldn’t be the spooky season without a wriggly worm spilling out of our drink.
If you’ve ever been to Disney World, then you know that ride preshows are essential to the story.
Rise of the Resistance Preshow
The preshows set up the events for the ride and often contain some quote-worthy scripts and one-liners. Many of them have massive fanbases filled with people who can quote them from beginning to end. And recently, a popular pre-show character finally made his way to Disney World!
We’re headed to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to see what’s new around the park this week.
Tree of Life
Last week we spotted new 50th Anniversary golden statues, some fun lunch items at a reopened cafe, and lots of new merchandise. This week there’s just a couple of updates, so let’s check them out!
Over the past year, Disney has been doing A LOT of construction on new attractions, restaurants, resorts, and even shops in preparation for the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary.

We’ve been bringing you a look at all of the progress week by and week and now it’s time to check in on it all once again. And, it’s looking like quite a few things are just about ready for the big party that will kick off on October 1st!
Disney’s Fastpass+ service is no longer in place, but there’s a NEW Fastpass+ replacement coming soon to Disney World called Disney Genie+. If you miss strolling through the Fastpass line to board your favorite attraction, you might be interested in paying for Disney Genie+, which will give guests access to over 40 attractions in Disney World.

One way we look at crowd levels is through wait times, so here’s a look at all the average wait times in Disney World from this week.
