food IS a theme park
We got some MASSIVE Disney World news yesterday.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
Disney’s Star Wars hotel, the Galactic Starcruiser has offered guests a unique opportunity to LIVE for two days in a galaxy far, far, away for a little over a year now. The experience offered visitors unique dining, roleplaying experiences that put them in their own Star Wars story, lightsaber training, and excursions to Batuu. However, the Galactic Starcruiser will shut its doors forever on September 30th.
Do you ever feel so passionate about something that you wish you could WEAR your obsession for all to see? From Disney-inspired tattoos to Princess Leia space buns, it’s so fun to see people show off their Disney style. Of course, this is the Disney FOOD Blog, so you may catch us rocking a plastic cheese tee or a snack-scented spirit jersey.
Name a better duo. We’ll wait.
During a recent visit to the Magic Kingdom, we found a NEW accessory that was practically CALLING our name. Sadly, Disney hasn’t created any Karamell-Küche Caramel Butter Bar merch yet (if you know, you know.), but we did manage to find another SWEET new item. Let’s check it out!
Memorial Day is almost here!
Memorial Day Banners in Magic Kingdom
Disney World usually has some special celebrations for the holidays like unique meet and greets or holiday parades. You can also expect the parks to be quite busy on the holidays and with Memorial day approaching, those busy crowds might change how expensive it is to skip the lines.
Did you know that you can find Disney bags in all shapes and sizes?
Mickey “The Band Concert” Loungefly Bag
We’ve seen Loungefly bags, Dooney & Bourke bags, and many, many others. And we wanted to remind you of some of the “tastiest” looking bags that you can find right now in Disney World.
Getting ready to cut it close on your mobile order arrival window?
Mobile Order Sign
Disney World’s My Disney Experience app is a wealth of insight and information. From the app, you can view current wait times, see where to meet characters, and even place a mobile order for various quick-service dining locations. When ordering your meal you also are asked to select an expected time for pick-up. But what happens when you don’t arrive during your expected time window? [Read more…]
Sea monsters, volcanoes, and Mayan pyramids — the pools around Disney World may be WAY better than you realize.
Port Orleans French Quarter Pool
In the past, we’ve shared a look at some of the hidden secrets about Disney World’s pools, a peek at permits that could signal changes at these pools, and even full resort guides that showcase the differences between certain hotel pools. But today we’re doing it — we’re sharing our list of the TOP 10 Disney World Hotel pools — grab those bathing suits!
Things at Disney World are constantly changing, even when it comes to food.
The Hollywood Brown Derby
That’s why we tell you about new snacks coming to the parks, get you reviews of those snacks so you can decide whether or not they’re worth it, tell you all about restaurant menu changes, and more. Now, we’ve got some HUGE menu updates to tell you about at an ICONIC Disney World restaurant.
The time to eat your blue shrimp is now folks because Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (a.k.a. the Star Wars Hotel) is CLOSING.
Galactic Starcruiser room
The cruise-like experience puts you at the center of your very own Star Wars story complete with unique dining experiences, lightsaber training, and an “excursion” to Batuu. We’ve shared a tour of the rooms, details about the WHOLE thing and whether it’s worth it (because a stay here is NOT cheap), and more. But soon this experience will come to an END.
No, Disney World is NOT just full of chicken nuggets and fries (though you will find those and they are delicious). The parks and hotels are actually home to some pretty unique snacks and can be a great place to visit if you have an adventurous palette!
EPCOT
One place to find some unique snacks is the House of Good Fortune in the China Pavilion at EPCOT. Here, one of our favorite things to check out is Lay’s potato chips. In the past, we’ve seen tons of interestingly-flavored Lay’s chips here — from squid and candy flavors to honey butter. We recently found another bag of unique Lay’s chips at House of Good Fortune we just had to give them a try. Are you ready to check them out with us? Let’s go!
