food IS a theme park
There’s a NEW lounge at Disney World, but you have to be a member to get in!
McKim’s Mile House is the new DVC lounge in Magic Kingdom!
That’s right — only Disney Vacation Club members can use this relaxing spot, and trust us, if you’re a member you’re going to want to stop by!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, WHOA. Hold ON. How are YOU planning on spending your money at Disney World? Or, better question — are the things you’re about to purchase actually gonna be WORTH it, or are they gonna feel like a waste once you buy them?
PUT THE CREDIT CARD DOWN!
Today, we’re showing you the things you should NEVER buy at Disney World. We’re here to SAVE YOUR MONEY, people!
Hello from (sometimes) sunny Florida! We’ve been at Disney World all week just checking up on things and eating all the food (so normal week for us).
Cheers!
That includes a new treat from The Cake Bake Shop, getting ready to eat ALL the Easter snacks that will be hitting Disney World soon, revisiting one of our favorite restaurants in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and trying three Disney Springs restaurants AT ONCE (because that’s how we roll). We also kept an eye on Disney World restaurant menus this week, and we’ve got some changes to report.
I need to make a confession that might get my Disney fan card revoked: Space Mountain, once my absolute favorite attraction in Disney World, now leaves me feeling like I’ve been tossed in a washing machine with a bunch of bricks.
Space Mountain
There’s something uniquely disorienting about holding onto childhood nostalgia while your adult body screams in protest. I still remember my first ride on Space Mountain — the anticipation building as I finally reached the height requirement, the wonder of blasting through simulated space, and the pride of conquering a “big kid” coaster.
While we could say we’re obsessed with every single Disney World ride, we wouldn’t exactly be telling the truth…
Hollywood Studios
We go to Disney World…a lot. In fact, we’re there every day and it’s safe to say we’ve become quite the experts after all these years covering the resort. In our experiences at the parks, we’ve found PLENTY of wonderful attractions that keep us coming back for more…But there are a few rides where once is enough.
For years and years, Tony’s Town Square Restaurant has been known as one of, if not the WORST, places to eat in Magic Kingdom.
Tony’s Town Square
But is that still true? We’re committed to trying Disney World restaurants time and time again, yes, including those we both love and don’t love, because things change all the time in the parks — including the quality of meals. We headed back over to Tony’s to try one of its well-known dishes to find out if it’s really still as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
You can never be too prepared for a trip to the Magic Kingdom.
Magic Kingdom
Our team has been to the Magic Kingdom hundreds of times collectively, and there are some items that we never leave behind. However, that wasn’t always the case. These are some essential items that we wish we would have known about much earlier.
Now that two Disney World attractions, Gran Fiesta Tour and Kali River Rapids, are finally open again, apparently, that means another attraction needs to close.
Kali River Rapids
An iconic Disney World attraction is closing THIS week! While many people may not actually miss this attraction, seeing it close for good is still bittersweet.
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World’s Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind continued to see their new standby queues change the fabric of Disney World’s wait times. In fact, the latter Marvel attraction took the top spot this week, being the only Disney World ride to break the 80-minute barrier.
