The Best (And Worst) Restaurants For Food Allergies at Disney World

By Leave a Comment

When planning your trip to Disney World, one of the most important (and exciting) parts is figuring out where and what you should eat on your trip. Disney is full of incredible food and restaurants, but if you are traveling with food allergies, that can make planning for food during your trip much more stressful and complicated.

By Leave a Comment

Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress, an original ride conceived by Walt Disney himself, debuted at the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair and later opened in Disneyland in 1967 (where it has since closed), then opened in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in 1975, where it has remained a classic and iconic attraction.

For many parkgoers, a visit to Magic Kingdom isn’t complete without a spin on the ol’ Carousel of Progress, which takes riders through different decades and (as the name implies) the progress made in each. Earlier this year, Disney announced that the Carousel of Progress would undergo a complete transformation, updating the ride to reflect more recent history and advances.

I Just Took My 75-Year-Old Parents to Disney World. Here’s What I’d Never Do Again

By Leave a Comment

My parents are 75. At home, neither uses a cane, a walker, or a wheelchair. At Disney World, I rented them each a scooter, skipped an entire land in Magic Kingdom, and called it a day around the time I’d usually be deciding where to get my second park snack.

Disney World sells itself as a family vacation, but a lot of the planning advice seems to picture a family with a six-year-old and two adults willing to set an alarm on vacation. My family had two late risers from Houston, a knee and ankle that gave my dad trouble, and me, a woman who can turn a short walk through EPCOT into a three-hour snack detour. Here’s what I’d do differently the next time I take my parents.

You’re Walking Right By the Best Mexican Food in Disney World

By 2 Comments

For years, my Mexican food plan at Disney World was simple: head to EPCOT, duck into the pyramid, and eat enchiladas under that permanent twilight sky.

Calling all taco lovers!

I still love that view. But some of the best tacos, churros, and margaritas on Disney property are in places most guests walk right past on the way to somewhere else. Let’s look outside of the pyramid, and even EPCOT, to find some amazing Mexican food.
