food IS a theme park
What’s in a name?
Swirls on the Water!
New snack options are ALWAYS coming to Disney World, and we’re always eager to try them! Now we’re headed to Disney Springs to try one of the newest cones at Swirls on the Water in Disney Springs.
We get it: a Disney World vacation can often be a once-in-a-lifetime event for a lot of folks (even those who go often because there’s just so much to see and do). So you may feel the urge to try to do EVERYTHING, even if that’s pretty much impossible during a week-long trip.

Now, we will always tell you to not push yourself so hard that you miss out on little things in Disney World. Sometimes the best thing you can do is take a break, leave the parks for a little bit, and then come back later. However, there’s also something else you can do in Disney World to keep from pushing yourself too hard: that’s knowing your limits and not forcing yourself to try and ride EVERY single ride.
There are so many snacks in Disney World that it can be hard to pick and choose!
It’s Mickey!
We don’t discriminate against Disney World snacks — from the ooey gooey to the super sweet to the deliciously savory, a good Disney World snack is a good Disney World snack! One of our favorites, though, is an all-time classic — the Disney World pretzel. If you love pretzels as much as we do, read ahead to see the six Disney World pretzels we love the most!
It was a dark, cloudy day. After a busy day traversing through Disneyland Resort, we needed a bite to eat. There — just ahead! We found a cozy place for our respite from the gloomy weather. Come with us to Red Rose Taverne for a nice, hearty meal for some weary travelers.
Let’s see what’s new!
During our visit, the restaurant was boasting some new menu items, so naturally, we had to check them out. Are these new dishes worth a try? Let’s find out!
Look, we love Disney souvenirs as much as anyone, but it’s fair to say there are some stinkers.

We’re consistently putting together lists of our all-time favorite souvenirs, scouting out what will inevitably be our new favorite Disney gifts, and looking ahead to what Disney is going to offer. With that said, we’re fully aware that not all Disney souvenirs are created equal. We have several former Disney World Cast Members on the DFB and they’re chiming in on some park souvenirs they’ve found to be useless over the years!
Most Disney World restaurants and attractions have reopened after the 2020 closures, but if you look closely, there are still some that have yet to come back, and we don’t know if they ever will.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Tables in Wonderland hasn’t made a reappearance, Restaurant Marrakesh in EPCOT has been closed for so long we don’t know if it’ll ever return, and of course, we can’t forget about the elegant tea service that used to be offered at the Garden View Tea Room at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. But now that Disney has a new tea service, will we ever see it return?
Okay, so Disney World decided to get OBSESSED with croissants in 2024, and it seems like that’s going to be a thing in 2025, too.
Amorette’s Patisserie
So, in 2024, Disney World threw all kinds of sweet croissants at us, like a PB & J Croissant, a Cookie Dough Croissant, an Espresso Croissant, and more. HOWEVER, it now seems the NEW croissant trend are savory croissants, and y’all — we are here for it. Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs just released THREE new croissants, and well, let’s just say one was made in charcuterie and croissant heaven.
As a Millennial, I’m not too jaded to admit when Gen Z does something right (and honestly, they’ve got quite a bit figured out already).
He’s precious!
But, when it comes to Disney World fashion, Gen Z is definitely doing things right. Whether it’s crew socks, tennis skirts, character plush keychains, or the latest park bag, I’m SEATED and taking notes. And, after seeing Gen Z use this park bag everywhere at Disney World, I decided to try one myself!

2025 is the gift that keeps on giving us construction and closures throughout Disney World.
Sebastian’s Bistro Family-style Meal
There are so many new and exciting experiences on the horizon at Disney World! Unfortunately, before we get to experience all these new offerings, we have to deal with closures and construction all across the parks and resorts. Another temporary (thank goodness) closure is set to hit one of our favorite places to eat at Disney World.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
