food IS a theme park
The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers is located at Disney’s BoardWalk. We have been keeping a close eye on the restaurant for a long time now, and we are eagerly awaiting its grand opening.
The Cake Bake Shop
Seating has popped up outside and we have seen private events happening recently, so we are hoping this new restaurant will open its doors soon. We got a glimpse at the menu ahead of the restaurant’s opening a few weeks ago, and we recently noticed that something has CHANGED!
It’s (almost) the most wonderful time of the year!
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays
The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is returning in 2024! This festival is a celebration of holiday traditions around the world, with exclusive eats, mesmerizing merchandise, exciting entertainment, and more. One of the BEST parts of the festival is the Candlelight Processional…and we officially have all the details and pricing!
Are you looking to skip the line on your upcoming Disney World vacation?
Lightning Lane
Over the summer, Disney changed their skip-the-line service from Genie+ to Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and Individual Lightning Lane became Lightning Lane Single Pass. The new Multi Pass system works similarly to its predecessor, FastPass+. You can now book your Lightning Lane selections and view prices before your trip. Those staying at Disney World hotels can book seven days before their trip, and the general public can book three days before their trip. Multi Pass is also broken up into tiers. You can choose one attraction from tier one and two attractions from tier two to start. If you are wondering which Lightning Lanes you should prioritize in 2025, we have you covered!
There are SO many quick service spots in EPCOT, how do you choose where to go for a cheap meal?
Spaceship Earth
With restaurants in all the World Showcase pavilions, plus a few options near the front of the park, you can get a wide variety of cuisine options around this park. But have you ever been to the food court? I took a trip there for lunch recently, and my experience was not what I expected!
If you’re heading to Disney World soon, you might want to apologize to your wallet beforehand.
Boatwright’s Dining Hall
Planning a trip to Disney World is tricky enough before even factoring in cost. We’re no strangers to Disney World price increases, as we’ve seen things like ticket prices and Lightning Lane costs get more expensive this year. Unfortunately, the blows aren’t slowing down as Disney World has increased food costs across their resorts.
Your Mickey Pretzel is about to get more expensive…
Mickey Pretzel
There are several October traditions that Walt Disney World fans love: The ongoing International Food & Wine Festival, Halloween celebrations headlined by Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and even the commemoration of Walt Disney World’s October 1971 opening. However, there’s one longstanding October “tradition” many actively dread: Price Increases.
It’s been a little while since we’ve heard anything about a new show that’s supposedly coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Voyage of the Little Mermaid will soon become “The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure”
The new show, “The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure,” was originally supposed to open in Fall 2024 but has recently been pushed to Summer 2025, and a new permit was filed for the area, but that’s the last we’ve heard of it. This new show is replacing the former Voyage of the Little Mermaid show, which hasn’t been performed since before the 2020 park closures, and the building has been sitting empty. However, we’ve got an update now that definitely shows things are moving forward — a new casting call has been released!
We’ve made quite a few mistakes in Disney World.
Main Street during Halloween
Even though we visit Disney World every day, it doesn’t stop us from learning new things or messing up our own vacations from time to time. And recently, one member of our team had a bizarre breakfast experience that we wanted to share with you — that way you know how to proceed!
Character dining is a big draw for many families in Disney World.
Grumpy at Storybook Dining
While it’s more expensive than many other table service restaurants in Disney World (but not all!), the meet-and-greet opportunities you get with some of your favorite Disney characters make the cost worth it for many. However, we’re sorry to say that price increases have struck again in the parks, and several character dining experiences have increased around Disney World.
