food IS a theme park
Disney has announced over $5 BILLION in budget cuts company-wide.
Magic Kingdom
Things are definitely gonna be changing, but how will those cuts alter the theme parks and the Disney movies we know and love?
Last year Disney movie fans were treated to tons of sneak peeks at the D23 Expo!
Haunted Mansion
We saw all kinds of exciting updates, like a new trailer for the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, confirmation of Inside Out 2, and brand-new movie announcements! While D23 was nearly half a year ago, the trailers haven’t stopped! Disney just released an all-new trailer for the upcoming Haunted Mansion film, inspired by the iconic attraction.
The EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is underway, and we’ve already visited ALL the food booths, but there’s STILL so much more to see, do, and even eat!
2023 La Isla Fresca Booth
We’ve admired the topiaries, bought some merchandise, and checked out some entertainment, but more importantly, we’ve visited ALL the food booths. But the La Isla Fresca booth actually has TWO menus — one for lunch and dinner, and one for breakfast. We’ve already tried out the regular menu, but now we’re back for breakfast!
Disney World is home to ICONIC snacks — we’re talking about those snacks that are quintessentially DISNEY.
Cheeseburger Spring Rolls
Nothing says Disney MORE than snacks like the Dole Whip, Totchos, Corn Dog Nuggets, and ‘Ohana Bread Pudding. But there’s another snack that could be the most popular of ALL Disney World snacks and that’s the Cheeseburger Spring Rolls.
In case you haven’t already heard the news…
Typhoon Lagoon Water Park
…Typhoon Lagoon is REOPENING on March 19th, 2023! This Disney World water park was closed for the winter season while Blizzard Beach was open for guests to enjoy fun in the sun…and “snow.” With the reopening of this water park comes the return of popular rides and attractions, H2O Glow After Hours, and NEW food!
The Orlando International Airport (MCO) has received lots of feedback (both positive and negative) on the newly constructed Terminal C — the largest terminal in the Orlando Airport that stretches over half a mile and is filled with state-of-the-art security, delicious dining, and architecture inspired by the sky itself.
Orlando International Airport Terminal C
According to the Orlando Airport’s website, MCO is already preparing to take Terminal C to new heights. MCO was recently awarded $69 million in federal funds for two Terminal C expansion projects. The Federal Aviation Administration awarded nearly $1 billion to airports across the country for projects that improve the passenger experience. MCO was one of approximately 100 airports in the country to receive funding.
Sure, we may talk about EPCOT festival foods…a lot.
Spaceship Earth
But, those delicious eats and drinks are not the only reasons you should visit the Flower & Garden Festival. There are gorgeous topiaries, a ton of unique souvenirs, and some stellar entertainment! One of our favorite parts of the festival is the Beacons of Magic show that’s brilliantly displayed on Spaceship Earth — come check it out with us!
UPDATE: Typhoon Lagoon has postponed its reopening to March 21st due to weather.
When you visit Disney World, do you go to its water parks?
Typhoon Lagoon Water Park
Disney World has TWO water parks, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. Blizzard Beach recently reopened after a refurbishment with some new Frozen-themed areas. Typhoon Lagoon has recently been closed for a refurbishment, but we now know that it will reopen again SOON — with NEW FOOD! Now, that is something to get excited about.

We don’t know about you, but we are SO looking forward to the reopening of Mickey’s Toontown in Disneyland later this month!
Toontown
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway opened earlier this year, but the majority of Toontown is still preparing for the big reopening on March 19th. Disney just announced some new eats coming to the land’s new quick-service spot, Café Daisy, but there’s another eatery with a really cool item you won’t want to miss out on.
