food IS a theme park
Visiting EPCOT soon? You could be very lucky!
EPCOT
Not only is the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival going on right now (which brings some delicious dishes to the park), but we recently saw that a special EPCOT restaurant has reopened!
Sometimes, Disney World is not exactly the magical place you expected.
Mickey Mouse
Now, we’re not talking about things like rides going down (those are just minor inconveniences). We’re not even talking about those random Florida storms that roll through the parks almost daily. We’re not even thinking about those small transportation problems we occasionally encounter. No, we’re talking about what other people are doing in the parks that make us cringe.
September 22nd cannot get here fast enough!
EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
September in general is actually a BIG month for Disney World. During that month, the 100th Anniversary celebration will “officially” kick off in Disney World with more additions at EPCOT, like a platinum Mickey statue and a new Spaceship Earth lighting show. But it’ll also mark the opening of some very special things at EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival!
Get ready to book your next Disneyland trip!
Disneyland Resort
2024 vacation bookings have been available for a while for Walt Disney World. You might already have that hotel picked out, a list made of the things you don’t want to miss, and even a Disney Dining Plan booked. But soon, 2024 packages for Disneyland will become available too!
Disney is known for its storytelling, and that’s because they do an amazing job of weaving a tapestry of fairy tales with the familiar nostalgia of family, emotions, and connections.
Hi Tiana!
We love revisiting these stories again and again, and we also love when Disney nods to one story within the context of another. Whether referred to as “Easter Eggs” or “cameos” or “secrets”, there is a certain in joy in noticing these in the films or the parks, and hopefully just as much joy as the Imagineers had in placing them there!
Disney World is getting a few NEW restaurants soon, but one spot could become especially popular!
Panko-Crusted Pickle Dog
Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs already operates a kiosk in Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney District and it is home to the controversial PICKLE corn dog (among other unique creations!). But soon this corn dog paradise will be making its way to Disney World and we’ve got some updates!
We’re celebrating Disney’s 100th Anniversary all year long, and if you’re anything like us, you’re celebrating by buying all the merchandise.
Magic Kingdom Train Station
Yep, you can grab all sorts of specially-themed Disney100 souvenirs in the parks and online. There’s so much of it, it can be hard to choose favorites. We’ve helped you out a bit and decided to show you some of our favorite ones. Let’s go!
It’s a GOOD time to be a LEGO and Disney fan!
LEGO Store
We’ve seen all kinds of Disney x LEGO sets released in recent months and now a new one has hit the scene, but this set is not necessarily for the little kiddos.
UPDATE: According to WESH 2 News, Glen Gilzean resigned from his position on the Florida Commission on Ethics in favor of keeping his job as the District Administrator of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (formerly the Reedy Creek Improvement District).
There’s been a new development in the drama between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) board, and Disney.
Disney vs. DeSantis
The trio are already involved in a number of lawsuits, with Disney suing Gov. DeSantis (claiming the governor violated the company’s free speech rights) and the Board suing Disney because of agreements the company made with the previous Reedy Creek District board. The Board is now claiming that some perks Disney gave to previous Reedy Creek District employees are “unethical,” calling them a “scheme” that “raises significant questions regarding self-dealing.” [Read more…]
