food IS a theme park
It’s time to go over all the surprising and unexpected news from Disney World this week!
Magic Kingdom
From the shocking price of this Disney World hotel to the return of fan-favorite shows, there have been some surprising announcements this week!
We’ve been pretty busy running around Disney World trying out all the 50th anniversary celebration snacks.

But just in case you forgot, it’s still Halloween, too, meaning that there are still TONS of Halloween treats to try. So far, we’ve had an amazing Halloween margarita flight, Halloween donuts, and a Halloween cupcake or two (or three…)! But today we’re singing the praises of two of our favorite returning spooky snacks!
Sure, it’s still technically Halloween season at Disney World, and we’re still enjoying all the Halloween decor, merchandise, snacks, and more at the parks.
Disney’s Riviera Resort
But…we’re also looking forward to the holidays at Disney World, and thanks to a new souvenir we just found, we’re ready to start decorating our Christmas tree!
Well, it’s been a busy week at Disney World, hasn’t it? The 50th Anniversary Celebration has officially kicked off!

And we’ve been busy running around trying every new snack we can find, WHILE also checking out some new restaurants and dining experiences. But we’re still tracking every menu update we can find, so let’s get on with what’s been going on this week!
Hello from the BoardWalk at Walt Disney World!
Disney’s BoardWalk
We love hanging out at the BoardWalk to visit places like Trattoria al Forno for some Italian food or BoardWalk Joe’s to get a quick margarita! A spot we don’t find ourselves at much though is AbracadaBar, a magician-themed cocktail lounge right on the BoardWalk! According to the lore of the BoardWalk, magicians tried to outdo each other with their tricks here after their shows. But one day, the secret lounge vanished into thin air! Now, it’s randomly reappeared for us to enjoy. It’s been a while since we waltzed into this time capsule, so let’s see if AbracadaBar is still magical!
Disney World’s 50th anniversary has kicked off and there is just SO much going on, that it’s hard to list it all! What’s for certain, though, is that the celebrations are something you don’t want to miss as they run over the next 18 months in the parks, resorts, and beyond!

Geyser Point Bar & Grill at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort is a spot that features both an open-air restaurant and a bar/lounge and serves up dishes inspired by the wilderness and the Pacific Northwest!
Geyser Point
In the past, we’ve talked about this restaurant being one of Disney World’s hidden gems, especially its to-go window. Today, we stopped by their lounge to try out a Halloween-themed drink flight!
