food IS a theme park
Believe it or not, the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is HERE!
The EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
If you’re planning to head to Walt Disney World’s MEGA-POPULAR annual event, you’ll want to head over to Amazon to stock up on festival essentials!
This Disney World hotel stands out for its restaurant offerings, so we decided to test it out for you!
The Fountain Spread
There’s a specific kind of stress that comes with planning meals at Disney World. Breakfast has to be fast enough that it doesn’t eat into rope drop. Lunch has to fit wherever you happen to be standing when your stomach starts making decisions for you. And dinner? Dinner needs to feel like an event, or at least like you didn’t just shove down a hot dog.
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. We often talk about the best (and worst) places to grab lunch or dinner, but we can’t forget about breakfast!
Swan Reserve
We recently stopped by Grounds at The Swan Reserve to check out the breakfast menu, and now we are bringing you our FULL REVIEW to see if it’s worth a visit at the start of your day. So let’s dive in!
We are proving our mettle today, bringing our A-game, throwing down a 1000% guarantee that we know what we’re talking about when it comes to Disney World restaurants.
Which park reigns supreme? You might just be surprised. Very. Surprised.
We spend a LOT of time comparing Disney World parks. Magic Kingdom has the classics. Animal Kingdom has the atmosphere. Hollywood Studios has some of the biggest rides. And EPCOT has enough snacks to turn “walking around the park” into an all-day competitive sport.
EPCOT After Hours
But after attending Disney After Hours at both EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, we noticed one thing EPCOT is doing WAY better. It knows how to feel empty.
Get your calendars because there’s a rare parade coming to Magic Kingdom in October!
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
Diwali Dance Fest is coming to Disney World once again. Only, instead of being at Disney Springs, it will be at Magic Kingdom and other parks! This rare entertainment will be at the park for only a limited time, so let’s take a look at the dates and details.
Visiting Disney World during the fall, winter, spring, and summer all have a different vibe, depending on which season you go to the parks. Right now, we’re in Disney World’s fall season, which means lots of spooky snacks, decor, and Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. We’ll soon be in the holiday season, with holiday decor, holiday snacks, and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
Witch Minnie at Minnie’s Seasonal Dine at Hollywood & Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios (2022)
Spring and summer also have their own vibe, and if you’re visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you can actually enjoy a character dining experience set for the specific season at Hollywood & Vine called Minnie’s Seasonal Dine. Well, we now have an update on dates for Minnie’s Seasonal Dine from now through early 2027.
Spaceship Earth is a ride and the icon of EPCOT, and now it’s finally going to get a long-awaited update.
EPCOT
Disney dropped a ton of news recently at D23 — from brand-new lands, ride updates, and more. One of those announcements was that Spaceship Earth would be receiving a refurbishment in the future. However, when the news broke, not all of the Disney fans were happy.
Christmas at Disney World is magical with the giant tree in the parks and the delicious snacks everywhere you turn. But there’s one thing about a Christmas trip to Disney that is not magical: the flight prices.
Frontier Plane at the Orlando Airport
While this week is such a fun time to visit Disney World, it’s also one of the most expensive weeks of the year to fly into Orlando. The good news is that “expensive” doesn’t have to mean “unaffordable.” With the right timing and a few insider tricks, it’s realistic to land round-trip flights to Orlando for around $250 per person, even during the holiday rush. Here’s exactly how to do it.
Halloween season has officially arrived in Disney World, and we are SO feeling the spooky season vibes. We’ve been drinking our pumpkin spice lattes, checking out some Halloween food, admiring all the fun fall and Halloween decor in Magic Kingdom, and going to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
Cruella Cookie Sandwich
Well, speaking of the party, we kinda’ have something we need to warn you about, especially if you plan on Mobile Ordering any food during the event.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
