food IS a theme park
Did you miss us? It’s time to go over what’s new in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Disneys Animal Kingdom
Not only did we find a purse living in the future, but we also tried a must-have summer snack! Check out what we found in Animal Kingdom this week!
Have you heard a little something about a legendary, seasonal Disney World treat made of pure gingerbread and caramel goodness?
Is this the perfect cookie?
The Gingerbread Salted Caramel Buttercream Cookie Sandwich is a limited-time treat typically available in EPCOT for the holiday season, but this year we noticed the cookie stuck around for a while after December. Initially, we were told that it would be gone from Disney World after February, but we have some BIG news about this popular treat!
Sometimes we get carried away with the flashy, weird treats in Disney World. When we see an “it’s a small world” cupcake piled high with icing, our curiosity practically FORCES us to try it! We hear about frozen guacamole and can’t HELP but give it a try — it’s human nature! But the truth is, those plain, basic Disney treats can be just as good as those wacky Disney snacks. Phew, it feels good to get that off our chest.
We see a Donald-inspired cake and can’t resist
When we heard that a popular little food and beverage location in Disney World was celebrating a big anniversary, we had a feeling that we’d see a special treat to go along with the celebration. Let’s take a look!
We clearly love Disney World restaurants! Maybe especially the ones at Magic Kingdom, where the nostalgia factor hits HARD. But let’s be real: some restaurants are just better than others. And if there’s one place that makes this fact abundantly clear, it’s Yelp.
Will the Curried Vegetable Crew Stew make the list?
While certain Magic Kingdom restaurants don’t get a lot of love (to put it kindly), others are hallowed ground in Disney World, and Yelpers love to sing their praises for their faves!
This is NOT going to come as a shock to you, but sometimes it’s easy to forget — the Disney parks didn’t just pop into being. No, there were and are a lot of incredibly talented people involved in their concept, creation, and continued existence.
Tree of Life
The biggest Disney fans — and especially those who love to learn about the history and interworkings of the theme parks — know a few key people who have made a HUGE impact on the parks. Mary Blair, the Sherman brothers, and Alice Davis are just a few of these instrumental creators. But now Disney is honoring another person who contributed immensely to many Disney projects and whose influence reaches far beyond the Disney company. [Read more…]
Prepare all you want, but sometimes the Florida heat is A LOT to handle!
Tree of Life
Purchase all the water and expensive spray bottle fans in the parks that you can, you’ll still find that facing a 90-degree day with 100% humidity is enough to make anyone question when they are spending thousands of dollars to melt like Olaf in Disney World. But, luckily, there are a few snacks that provide you with that little extra relief (and sugar boost) to get you through. And, today we noticed that one of our favorite Quick Service spots to cool off was open once again in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Remember those bright and colorful Stitch Crashes Disney collections we’ve shown you in the past? Well, the next series in the collection is HERE in Disney World!
Stitch Crashes Sleeping Beauty
Over the last year, we’ve been sharing ALL the Stitch Crashes Disney collections. Each collection includes Stitch pins, MagicBands, and plushes inspired by different Disney movies! We recently saw the Pocahontas collection arrive online, plus the first few items from the Mulan line, and now, we just found two Stitch plushes in the parks for the first time!
You know the old saying, “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!“? Well, we’re not sure whose idea it was to scream about ice cream — seems a little extreme, doesn’t it? Of course, we, too are pretty passionate about ice cream, especially Salt & Straw ice cream. Now, it’s our turn to talk (in an appropriate volume) about the latest ice cream flavors to arrive in Downtown Disney.
Salt & Straw
Before we get into it, for our friends on the east coast, we’ve got good news! Salt & Straw is opening a location in Disney Springs, and it’s coming very soon! But while we wait for Disney Springs to get it together, let’s check out the seasonal flavors at Salt & Straw in Disneyland.
It’s beginning to look a lot like springtime in Disney! Now that the Flower and Garden Festival started, we’re seeing floral topiaries all over EPCOT, plus some new seasonal treats have us excited for warmer weather and the upcoming holidays! Yeah, it’s safe to say that spring has sprung in Disney World.
Let’s take a peek at the weather!
For our friends who have a vacation to Disney World coming up during the second week of March, you might want to see the weather forecast in Orlando before you leave. It’s been pretty warm in Orlando lately, but spring weather sometimes brings rain, rain, and more rain to Disney World. Luckily, we’re back this week to take a look at the upcoming weather forecast in Disney World!
Disney California Adventure can’t stop, won’t stop serving us new treats; and we’re not mad about it! In the middle of all that incredible Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival content, we haven’t forgotten about the seasonal treats served in Disneyland! Today, we’re taking a trip to Cars Land to see what’s new.
Hello from Cars Land!
There are SO many places that guests can grab a classic Disneyland churro, but the Cozy Cone Motel might be the best-themed location for a churro (at least in our opinion!). Okay, we’re hungry; let’s eat!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
