Over the last decade, Mobile Order has become a MAJOR part of the Walt Disney World experience.

Is there anything better than a good Disney Springs snack? From savory items to sweet delights, there is a little something for everyone in Disney’s shopping and dining district.
The Blueberry Thyme Tart
One thing we love doing is going on a hunt for the best restaurants, newest snacks, must-have drinks, and more in and around Disney World. Our latest stop took us to an underrated gem, and we might have fallen in love with this limited-time pastry.
When it comes to Walt Disney World’s theme parks, EPCOT stands alone as being the only one to feature two entrances: The park’s main entrance in front of Spaceship Earth, and the International Gateway, which sits near the France Pavilion in World Showcase.
International Gateway
While the Gateway has been in place for decades, it was mainly used as an entrance for hotels within walking or boat distance of the back of the park… until 2019. That’s when the Walt Disney World Skyliner opened, allowing guests from Pop Century, Art of Animation, the Riviera Resort, the Caribbean Beach Resort, and Hollywood Studios to enter through the entrance. While that has made traveling to EPCOT more convenient for many guests, it can also lead to some interesting issues… like almost getting locked out of the park and being unable to return to your car!

If you’ve ever taken a cruise, there’s a good chance you’ve witnessed the infamous “chair hog” phenomenon. Guests claim prime poolside loungers early in the morning with a towel, flip-flops, or a random personal item, only to disappear for hours while everyone else circles the deck looking for a place to sit. Now, one major cruise line is taking action, and passengers are applauding the move. Here’s what’s happening and why travelers are paying attention.
Shhh! We’re going to let you in on a little secret!
Yak and Yeti
Something we love at Disney World is the secret menu items, and when we discover a new one, we have to make it a little less secret and share it here with you. This time, we’re heading to Animal Kingdom, where there are four new secret drinks we just can’t get enough of.

EPCOT is one of the best places to spend your money on a souvenir at Disney World, and here is one of our favorites!
EPCOT
When it comes to souvenir shopping at Disney World, EPCOT’s World Showcase is full of unique gifts and items. In the World Showcase, you can find 11 different countries featuring items like authentic Japanese snacks to hand-painted Italian ceramics — and just about everything in between. Out of all the unique finds here, one souvenir stood out above the rest.
Disney World food math is a dangerous little hobby. One minute you’re buying a Mickey pretzel because it “doesn’t count as lunch,” and the next minute you’re staring at a table-service receipt, wondering if the Beast personally embroidered the napkins with gold thread.
Cinderella Castle
But Annual Passholders, this is one of those rare moments when the numbers get a little friendlier. As part of Disney World’s V.I.Passholder Summer Days, Passholders can save 20% at two Magic Kingdom restaurants that are normally…well, let’s call them “financially dramatic.” We’re talking about Be Our Guest Restaurant and The Crystal Palace.
