food IS a theme park
Are you heading to Disneyland soon?
The Incredicoaster at Disney California Adventure Park
If so, in case you haven’t already heard, you’ll need to know that a fan-favorite Disney California Adventure attraction will be closed for refurbishment — tomorrow!
There’s something BIG coming soon to Magic Kingdom!
Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is opening summer 2024, replacing the former Splash Mountain. With such a major new ride in the park, we’re left wondering what else might change over in Frontierland to adapt to Tiana’s arrival. One thing that has been speculated for months is that Disney will turn the nearby Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe into a Tiana’s Palace restaurant…but should they REALLY do that?

There are two times a year when we can’t WAIT to visit Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
One of those times is during the holiday season when the hotel puts up its elaborate — and life-sized– gingerbread house. The other time of the year is NOW, just before Easter, when the hotel puts out its amazing chocolate Easter egg display. Well, the day has arrived, and that display is NOW UP! Seriously, just WAIT until you see some of these gorgeous eggs MADE BY HAND.
What a week in Disney World!!!

We have made our way ALL over EPCOT to enjoy the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival (and all that glorious food!). We’re also gearing up to eat a TON of special Easter snacks in Disney World. However, we have been keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus and have noticed some changes we want to tell you about.
Sure, Disney Springs is fun for shopping, but we think we’d rather go shopping in EPCOT!
UK Pavilion in EPCOT
Now, hear us out. Here’s the thing. If you go shopping in EPCOT, particularly around World Showcase, you can literally shop around the world. Each pavilion has unique souvenirs FROM THEIR COUNTRY, including designer bags, handmade items, clothing, and more. Well, we recently stumbled upon a unique souvenir that’s both handy and CUSTOMIZED — and you can get in the U.K. Pavilion.
A LOT has changed in Disney World over the past several years.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We’ve seen new rides open in both EPCOT and Magic Kingdom. We’ve witnessed the launch of Genie+ and all the changes its seen since then. We watched EPCOT completely transform! Well, we’ve got a new CHANGE to tell you about. Meeting characters in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is DIFFERENT.
This week was a BIG week for EPCOT.
EPCOT
Of course, there is a LOT that happens in each of the Disney World parks every day, but sometimes individual parks tend to get all the spotlight. This was the case for EPCOT, which started its 2024 Flower and Garden Festival this week. You already KNOW we were there and having the time of our lives trying all the springtime sips and savors. Well, we’re taking you with us for a few EPCOT highlights from this week. Let’s go!
What do Te Fiti, Mrs. Incredible, and Princess Tiana all have in common? They’re just a small sample of the many STRONG and powerful females in the Disney cinematic universe. (And we get excited every time we see each of these ICONS in the Disney parks, too!)
Journey of Water
OK, so why are we talking about iconic Disney women? Well, it’s officially Women’s History Month! To celebrate the occasion, Disney is releasing a TON of new treats around the parks and resorts, including cupcakes, shakes, and more! With all these tempting treats to try, it can be hard to decide what’s worth it. Luckily, we’re here to help! Come with us on a snack-filled JOURNEY around Disney World as we try TONS of new Disney treats.
We love the My Disney Experience App … until we can’t stand it.
