food IS a theme park
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 wait times staid relatively stable this week, but TRON: Lightcycle/Run continued to dominate.
Who doesn’t love new snacks in Disney World? It’s one of our favorite things about going to the parks so often.
Main Street Confectionery
Just recently we got to try some more massive cake slices from The Cake Bake Shop at Disney’s BoardWalk, tried some new Valentine’s Day treats, and checked out a majorly underrated diner at a hotel on Disney World property, but now it’s time for a sweet treat in Magic Kingdom! If you’re a big fan of salty and sweet mixes, then this new Snickers Popcorn Mix is for you!
Lightning Lane changes are steadily happening, and we’ve spotted the first sellout of the year!
Lightning Lane
Ever since Disney World debuted its new skip-the-line Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Premier Pass, the rules and features have pretty much stayed the same. As more visitors have become comfortable using the revamped “skip the standby line” system, we had a feeling that Disney would slowly increase its already steep price tags for these services. Disney’s latest quarterly call with shareholders called for changes to happen with the program in the future. Well, despite the high prices, it seems like Lightning Lanes are POPULAR — even the luxury Premier Pass is selling out in Disney World. Here’s what we noticed.
We all know that Disney is working on a massive expansion for Magic Kingdom, with a brand-new Villains Land and a Cars-themed expansion in the works.

But what many folks aren’t talking about is how these additions could shake up something as fundamental as the parade route. When Villains Land and Cars become reality, we might see Disney reroute the parade to start in a whole new location, so let’s talk about what that could look like.
There are few things we love in this world as much as we love a new Disney popcorn bucket.
2025 Figment Popcorn Bucket at Figment’s Inspiration Station
We’ve seen Figment-themed popcorn buckets go viral, incredible holiday-themed buckets, and so many more. But, every once in a while, a popcorn bucket comes along that really makes us light up with joy — and this new Prince Charming Regal Carrousel popcorn bucket has definitely done that!
If there’s one thing we LOVE to do during a busy day in Disney World, it’s stop for a little coffee break! Even though the lines at Starbucks can get pretty long around lunchtime, that much-needed hit of caffeine is such a lifesaver on vacation.
Starbucks
Whether you’re looking for a new Starbucks drink to try on vacation or just want a fun new drink to try at home, you’re in luck! Starbucks has a fun NEW menu item — come with us to try the new Blackberry Sage Lemonade Refresher.
Magic Kingdom is wonderful…but that doesn’t mean it’s perfect.
Magic Kingdom
There’s a lot to love about “The Most Magical Place on Earth”. The incredible attractions, shows, and overall nostalgia make Magic Kingdom a must-visit destination for families all over the world. With that said, there are some things we would change and we’re never one to shy away from sharing our opinions!
Getting around Magic Kingdom efficiently is almost an art form.

With crowds, long wait times, and the sheer size of the park, every minute counts—especially when you’re trying to squeeze in as many rides and snacks as possible. The good news is that there are a few time-saving shortcuts that can help you navigate the park faster and avoid some of the biggest bottlenecks. Whether it’s skipping a long transportation line or taking a lesser-known pathway, these shortcuts might be able to save you 15 minutes (or more!) so that you can just focus on all the fun.

We love to revisit some of our favorite meals to make sure they’re just as good as we remember, so we stopped by one of our favorite quick-service restaurants in Magic Kingdom to grab a bite. Come with us to Columbia Harbour House!
Despite being open for over a decade now, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train remains one of the most popular rides in all of Magic Kingdom.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
It’s a family coaster fit for riders of almost all ages, and while kids especially love it, many adults do, too! However, there are a lot of Disney adults out there who wish certain aspects of the ride could be changed. We polled our team, full of Disney adults, and here are the three new rules they wish would be implemented on the attraction.
