food IS a theme park
Are you excited that it’s almost 2023? Do you have any big New Year’s plans? Well, if you happen to be at Disney World, you’re in luck — a ton of NEW snacks JUST TO CELEBRATE the New Year are coming to the resort!
Pineapple Lanai
We’re trying out ALL of these new snacks, too — which is why we’re heading over to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to dive into a new Dole Whip float seriously, will we EVER say “no” to anything Dole Whip in Disney World? NEVER!).
A brand NEW restaurant is coming to Disney World in 2023, and we’ve got a big update on it right here!

Disney’s BoardWalk has been undergoing a bunch of changes and more are set to take place soon. BoardWalk Deli replaced BoardWalk Bakery, a new coffee shop is now open, the lounge got an updated look, the lobby and rooms are supposed to get refreshed too, and (perhaps most importantly for those who love sweets) the NEW Cake Bake Shop is set to open on the BoardWalk in 2023. We’ve been keeping an eye on the construction progress at that particular spot and now we’ve got an update!
We’re getting ready to jump into 2023 and the first big event of the year, the EPCOT Festival of the Arts.
2022 EPCOT Festival of the Arts
This could be one of our favorite festivals of the year — there are always some unique food offerings, as well as fun art-based activities, photo ops, and more! You’ll also get a chance to see some popular Disney artists at the event, and we now know the FULL schedule for those artists!
So you’re planning a trip to Disney World with your little one — what do you need to know?
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Taking kids to Disney World when they’re in the toddler stage can be a challenge. Between navigating naptimes, finding food that they’ll eat, and dealing with an unfamiliar environment, there’s a lot to learn. But today we’re prepared to answer one of your big questions — which Disney World park is BEST for toddlers?
We’ve got some BIG events coming up in Disney World in 2023!

The Festival of the Arts is kicking off in a few weeks at EPCOT, and After Hours events are returning to Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios in January. But one of the first things that’s coming up soon is the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend from runDisney, and we just got a sneak peek at the event merchandise!
With sweets as good as the ones Gideon’s Bakehouse makes, you don’t really need another reason to head to Disney World to check it out.
Look at those spooky & adorable characters!
But if you were looking for one, the theming is worth a trip all by itself! A key part of that theming is the set of spooky character portraits that line some of the spaces within the restaurant, and recently, the artist responsible for the chilling illustrations, Mr. Eyes, shared some EXCITING news!
A Disney Springs store is CLOSING, and it’s closing soon!
Disney Springs
Disney Springs has seen a lot of changes over the years — from the transformation of Downtown Disney to Disney Springs, the announcement of new restaurants, and the arrival of new stores. And soon it looks like more changes will be taking place in this shopping and dining district.
Have you already picked up your 2023 Disney ears? Are you looking for an excuse to show them off?
Perfect for the New Year!
Fortunately, the Disney PhotoPass Service has tons of opportunities around the parks for you to capture some magic on your vacation. And now, they’ve released a sparkly new Magic Shot just in time for you to ring in the new year!
From time to time, the unexpected happens in Disney World!
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
We’ve seen rides close due to lightning strikes or rogue wildlife, parade floats catch on fire, and our fair share of wild guest antics in the parks. And if you were standing in line for Rise of the Resistance this afternoon, you might have experienced something unprecedented.
There are a truly ridiculous amount of restaurants and snack spots in Disney World.
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
