food IS a theme park
We may or may not have a countdown going till Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando.
Universal Orlando Halloween Horror Nights
Halloween Horror Nights runs from August 28th to November 1st, and we’re ready to enter this year’s houses, try the exclusive food, and get scared. Universal just announced another house coming to this year’s line-up, and the more that get released, the more excited we’re getting.
Listen, guys, it’s literally our JOB to eat snacks in Disney World. And yes, that means we’ve probably eaten a lifetime’s worth of DOLE Whip.
Dole Whip from Aloha Isle at Disney World
We’ve tried EVERY SINGLE DOLE Whip flavor in Disney World, and we have some strong opinions about them. Since this is probably one of the most popular snacks across property (if not the most popular one), we’ve decided to share our rankings. Go forth and enjoy some soft serve, folks!
We’re halfway to the holiday season in Disney World, which runs from November 13th through January 6th. So even though it might feel like a million degrees outside in Florida right now, we’re already dreaming of days with cooler weather, snoap, holiday decorations, and holiday activities. Bring on Santa!
2025 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
Disney World has recently dropped some new details about the upcoming holiday season, including details about Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Jollywood Nights, and more. Well, we also just got confirmation of everything that’s coming to the 2026 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, so let’s take a look!
The pieces are coming together for the NEW pool opening in Disney World next year!
Lakeshore Lodge
Walt Disney World’s Lakeshore Lodge is a brand-new Disney Vacation Club hotel that’s scheduled to open in 2027! According to Disney, the new hotel’s theme will “celebrate the beauty and magic of nature as seen through the eyes of Disney artists and storytellers.” And while we’ve spotted tons of cool details in the hotel concept art, one of the features we’re the most excited to experience for ourselves is the POOL!
Do you hear that? It’s the sound of sleigh bells ringing! Yes, we know it’s the middle of summer, and the holidays are a LONG way off, but we’re counting down the days until the start of the holiday season in Disney World.
2025 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
We are ready for the beautiful holiday decorations in the parks, all the great holiday snacks, and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. Speaking of which, Disney just dropped the dates for this year’s festival: November 27th through December 30th.
Here at Disney Food Blog, there’s only one thing we love more than Disney parks – Disney merchandise! We’re constantly browsing the Disney Store to find all of the best new merch and deals.

But yesterday, Disney announced they’re piloting a major change to the Disney Store with a new AI-powered shopping assistant. And Disney adults are already unhappy!
My Disney Experience is a pretty robust app that lets you do just about everything you need when you visit Disney World. You can use the app to check in to your hotel room, unlock your hotel room door, connect to your MagicBand, act as your ticket into the parks, check wait times, book Lightning Lanes, and so much more.

The app also lets you pay for food via mobile order, as well as pay for merchandise through mobile checkout, but if you want to use a gift card to pay for those things, it’s always been kind of a hassle when using the app. Well, Disney FINALLY fixed that problem and you can set the app to pay with a gift card by default now.
We love Disney Loungefly bags. No, really. We’re totally obsessed, and if we combined the whole team’s bags together, it would probably look like the Emporium in Magic Kingdom!

We also love incredible sales, and for Amazon Prime Days, we’re sharing a gall of our favorite Disney Loungeflys right here!
It’s not even Christmas in July yet, but Disney already has us excited for the holiday season with some major Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party announcements.
