For Disney adults, the monorail bar crawl around the Polynesian, Contemporary, and Grand Floridian resorts is a classic Disney World rite of passage. But what if we told you you’re missing out on a BETTER bar crawl?
Raspberry Sake Sangria
The Swan and Dolphin Resorts are located right between EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, with dozens of top-notch restaurants and lounges, and for the parents out there, included childcare!
Walt Disney wasn’t opposed to many things when it came to creating his theme park, but the one thing he was against was alcohol. Although he passed before the Magic Kingdom opened in 1971, the rule of no alcohol was honored… until 2012.
Alcoholic Beverage Menu
Yes, alcohol was served before 2012 in the other theme parks, but we’re strictly talking about the Magic Kingdom. This is the park that’s seen as the epitome of Disney World — the one people think of when it comes to planning a vacation to the “Most Magical Place on Earth…” The one that makes you feel like a kid again. And now 10 restaurants break Walt’s number one rule.
Before you know it, we’ll be saying goodbye to Halloween and hello to the holidays in Disney World. That means we’ll be ready to eat and drink everything at the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays and dance in the snope at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.

The holiday season also brings a special, EXCLUSIVE event to Disney World…and it’s all about Santa. So if you want to have dinner with Santa at The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, you’ll need to know this: reservations open tomorrow!
Loungefly has built an entire empire out of nostalgia, but let’s be honest: most of that nostalgia can be geared toward Millennials and Gen Z.

Gen X has spent years waiting for a bag of their own. But every so often, Loungefly drops something that speaks directly to the generation that grew up on VHS tapes, Blockbuster Fridays, and Disney Channel Original Movies. And when they do, Gen X shows up to Disney World wearing it.
There is a LOT happening in Disney’s Hollywood Studios right now. So Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets finally opened in May, and we’re still LOVING the new attraction. Monstropolis is currently being built where Muppets Courtyard used to be and will have a phased opening starting in 2027.
New attraction and park map!
But a lot just changed TODAY in Hollywood Studios, too, so we’re going to give a full rundown of all the changes so you don’t miss anything.
We love crazy fancy meals that completely blow our minds, but we are also simple people who love plastic cheese, gas station food, and anything Mickey-shaped, no matter what it is. What can we say? We’re Disney Food Blog, but that includes ALL food.
Grilled Cheese time!
We’re heading to El Mercado de Coronado at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort to try two new grilled cheese sandwiches to see if it’s worth a visit during your trip.
Over the last decade, Walt Disney World apps have become an integral part of the Disney theme park experience, with everything from tickets and hotel entry to shopping, dining, Lightning Lanes, showtimes, and Mobile Order to merchandise checkout, dining reservations, and walk-up waitlists all running through the app. However, as is prone to happen with technology, things are evolving.

In fact, we’re just days from a MASSIVE Disney app change that would have felt unimaginable back in 2019. The Play Disney Parks app will be retired on September 16th! Beginning on that date, users will no longer be able to log in, and the app will be removed from both the Apple and Google Play app stores.
Celebrities, they’re just like us! Even stars can’t get enough of the Most Magical Place on Earth… and can you really blame them?
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
We’ve spotted a ton of celebrities at Disney World and Disneyland, and every once in a while, they’ll share a bit about their trips themselves. Of course, it’s even funnier when the celebrity happens to be in a Disney movie — and even better when they’re featured in an actual Disney ride. A Star Wars baddie recently shared his experience riding Rise of the Resistance at Hollywood Studios, and we would have loved to see this happen in person!
A major new menu addition at EPCOT is changing how we approach drinking around the world!
Who’s ready?
One of the world’s most exclusive alcohols, which used to be quite hard to find in the United States, is now available in the World Showcase!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
