food IS a theme park
It is a good time to be a Moana fan.
EPCOT
Not only is a live-action Moana movie in the works, but the Hei Hei Cone has returned to Typhoon Lagoon, as well as a Moana cone. Also, work is coming right along with the Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana attraction in EPCOT, and we’ve got the latest update on that!
Snacking around Disney World is one of our favorite pastimes! And when you’re faced with choosing between SO many treats at Walt Disney World, it’s important to narrow down your options. Especially when it comes to noshing in EPCOT — where the snack choices seem endless.
EPCOT
Whether you like your snacks salty or sweet or simple or adventurous, we’re sharing the BEST classic (and some new!) snacks at EPCOT.
If you’re headed to EPCOT’s International Flower and Garden Festival soon, this post is for you!
EPCOT
One of the BEST parts about this festival is the seemingly endless food and drink options that are available from the festival booths across the park. Farmers Feast is a Flower and Garden booth that focuses on cuisine surrounding farm-fresh produce.
Watch out! A couple of popular rides are going to be closed all week in Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
Disney will occasionally shut down rides and attractions in order to update and refurbish them, and that’s the case with most of these closures. However, one Magic Kingdom ride is getting a complete makeover. These changes might affect your upcoming trip, so here’s a full list of what’s going to be closed in Disney World next week.
Genie+ is more expensive than ever.
Genie+ on the My Disney Experience app
Genie+ is already a controversial feature among Disney fans since FastPass used to be complimentary. It became an even more controversial topic since Disney introduced flexible pricing based on demand in October 2022. Now, Genie+ has been selling out daily and the price has gone up to $35. Why is this? Well, we may have some answers.
Things are VERY busy in Disney World right now — a LOT is going on in the parks.
Cinderella Castle
A lot of that activity is happening in Magic Kingdom, where TRON Lightcycle / Run just opened and the Happily Ever After fireworks have returned! But Spring Break has also brought a TON of people to Disney World (the crowds and wait times are no joke). It’s no wonder that we’re seeing Genie+ at its highest price ever, but also selling out VERY early in the day for multiple days. So will that be the case next week?
The EPCOT transformation has been a years-long project (and if you’ve been to EPCOT, you’ve seen ALL the construction walls).
Welcome to EPCOT
Although a lot of the transformation is complete, including two new rides (Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind), even MORE is coming, including a new attraction based on Moana. Now, we have a BIG update about that attraction.
Well, we’ve finally done it. We’ve done the hard work so you don’t have to. We put in the sweat, tears, and stained hands — you know, for science.
Cinderella Castle
We’re talking Disney World desserts! Not just any Disney World desserts, but the ones you just can’t stop thinking about. From chocolate to caramel to fruity treats and more, we’ve had our fair share so you can trust us when we say this is our list of the best desserts in Disney World!
Everyone who’s been to Walt Disney World has probably seen them. Giant, meat-on-a-stick, Jumbo Disney Turkey Legs. And while Turkey Legs aren’t our favorite Disney snack (far from it), we know that there are plenty of fans out there! It’s a true park icon that’s been immortalized on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. That’s right! In the Galaxarium portion of the Guardians of the Galaxy queue, you might catch a glimpse of this iconic Disney snack.
Turkey Leg
In fact, we’ve even seen other SNACKS in the shape of turkey legs! We’re looking at you, Rice Krispie Treats. Turkey legs might just be the most controversial Disney snack out there, and we’ve put together a full guide on all the spots you can find them!
Let’s go visit EPCOT!
EPCOT
EPCOT has been going through a huge transformation recently, which is expected to wrap up at the end of this year. All the construction walls haven’t stopped us from enjoying our time in the park, though! While we were there on a recent trip, we spotted some restocked merch that we wanted to let you know about.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
