Olivia’s Cafe at Disney World Just Changed in a MAJOR Way

By Leave a Comment

Just like the parks, Disney World restaurants are constantly changing. A new chef can take a menu from ‘meh’ to amazing, a refurbishment can change the entire atmosphere, or a limited-time dish can be the best thing you eat on your whole trip.

Brunch at Olivia’s Cafe in Old Key West

Olivia’s Cafe at Disney’s Old Key West Resort has discontinued brunch, a longtime favorite of ours and a hidden gem in Disney World. Now, the restaurant will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day, and Disney just released the new breakfast and lunch menus!

It’s Official: Mickey Beignets Have MOVED at Disney World

By Leave a Comment

RED ALERT! RED ALERT! Sound the alarm because my beignets are MISSING! Okay, okay, not really, but you have to understand how much beignets affect my visit to Disney World, and that they’re moving to a different location.

We knew they were moving, but now that day is here, and we’re feeling the feelings. But don’t worry, beingets are not going away, just switching spots.

By 2 Comments

Disney World is currently undergoing a plethora of changes, including new lands, refurbished attractions, a brand-new hotel, and a few new restaurants. While new things are exciting, changes can also be scary, and fans haven’t held back about sharing what they think of these additions.

Hurly-Burly

Two new dining locations have recently opened, and we’ve received quite a few comments on our Instagram and Facebook about them, with what YOU think! And one location has been received much more positively than the other — let’s dive into what you think!

I’ve Been Eating at Disney World for 30+ Years and This Is Still My Favorite Food Event

By Leave a Comment

I’ve been eating my way around Disney World for more than 30 years. That means I have watched restaurants come and go. I’ve eaten my weight in festival food. I’ve stood in EPCOT holding three tiny plates at once while attempting to balance a drink on my forearm. I have opinions about Disney snacks that are stronger than some of my opinions about actual important things.

And after all those years, one Disney World food event still gets me ridiculously excited. It’s the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic.

Bookings Are Officially Open for Disney World’s Newest Hotel

By Leave a Comment

It’s not every day we get to say this, but a new Disney World hotel opens next year, and you can start booking now! I know, I know, we’re just as excited as you are to go down the otter-themed slide and spend some time in the lazy river. We may also be oogling over the newest restaurants we get to try.

Lakeshore Lodge is opening at Disney World on July 1st, 2027, and while that seems already so far away, if you want to be some of the first guests to stay at the hotel (which is a pretty cool bragging right), you’ll want to hop on your laptops or mark your calendar because your time is coming soon.

REVIEW: $15 for Pumpkin Pie at Disney World Is Ridiculous. Unfortunately, It’s Delicious.

By Leave a Comment

When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle of the road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.

Pumpkin pie from Cake Bake Shop

We recently stopped by the Cake Bake Shop on Disney’s BoardWalk to check out their version of the quintessential fall treat — pumpkin pie. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!

The Best (and Worst) Places to Meet Santa in Disney World This Year

By Leave a Comment

Christmas at Disney World comes with a very important logistical question: Where, exactly, should you meet Santa? Because the answer is not quite as simple as you might think. Some Santa meets require a theme park ticket. One requires a separately ticketed Christmas party. A couple involves meals that can turn your Santa photo into a serious line item on the vacation budget. And then there are a few places where meeting Santa doesn’t technically cost anything, although you may pay for it in time and patience instead.

Santa!

So, we’re ranking Disney World’s 2026 Santa experiences from the ones we’d have the hardest time recommending specifically for Santa to the ones we’d choose first.

2 Refurbishment Projects Are EXTENDED In Disney World

By Leave a Comment

Picture this: you’ve spent all day at Disney World from rope drop to fireworks and broke world records for walking the most steps in one day in the brutal Florida heat. You’re more exhausted than you’ve ever been in your life, and you immediately become Sleeping Beauty in your comfy, cozy hotel bed with only one goal: sleep until noon. But what wakes you up bright and early the next morning? Construction!

There’s SO much construction at Disney World right now!

There are 22 hotels at Disney World, and ten are currently under refurbishment between room renovations, exterior maintenance, and structural updates. And just when we finally could see the light at the end of the tunnel, Disney quietly announced that two of these hotel refurbs have been extended!
