food IS a theme park
If you’re a Disney shopaholic, we’re here to support you!
Cinderella Castle
But don’t misunderstand us…we’re definitely not here to stop your Disney shopping habits! 😉 We’re constantly sharing popular merchandise that we find online and all the hottest products in the parks, and with Amazon Prime Day coming up, we’re expecting to make some bad financial decisions ourselves. (Who’s with us?!) Plus, there are some items we expect to be on sale this year that could be very useful for Disney fans.
If you love animals, Disney’s Animal Kingdom might just be your favorite park in Disney World (it’s certainly up there for us!).
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
We love seeing all the animals (especially baby animals). We love riding on Kilimanjaro Safaris and hearing the male lion roar (he’s such a show-off). We also love getting up close and personal with animals at the Affection Section. More importantly, though, we love talking to Cast Members, who always fill us in on SUPER interesting information about the animals who live there.
There is a LOT of amazing food in EPCOT, but there’s about to be even MORE amazing food.
Japan Pavilion
That’s because a new restaurant is set to open sometime this summer! That restaurant is in the Japan Pavilion in World Showcase, and it’s called Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya. This new location, described by Disney as a “festive dining experience in a sharable Izakaya style” could now be even CLOSER to opening.
Is it too early to start talking about Christmas?
Bring on the holidays!
That’s a trick question because the answer is “NO!” We’re already gearing up for the holiday season, especially in Disney World, where we’re getting more details about Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party AND Jollywood Nights — and, yes, tickets are on sale for BOTH events right now. So how about a little early Christmas shopping for good measure?
Are you ready? Are you excited? It’s almost time for our favorite Disney World event of the year — the 2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival!
Food & Wine is almost here!
The festival kicks off on July 27th and we’ve put together plenty of resources to help if you’re visiting this year. Make sure you check out all of the food booths and menus that will be available. There are several new booths this year that you won’t want to miss! We’re also looking forward to the merchandise, entertainment, cheese crawl, and so much more. To help you prepare, we’ve got a free printable and map that’ll make navigating the festival a breeze.
When it comes to park icons, Spaceship Earth in EPCOT is probably one of the most recognizable in Disney World, second only to Cinderella Castle.
Spaceship Earth at Night
Not only do we love to ride the Spaceship Earth attraction, but we can’t help but marvel at the architecture of its spherical structure. We also love seeing it come to life at night with a cool lighting show that sometimes changes depending on the occasion. Well, now, ANOTHER city has created its own version of Spaceship Earth. (Sort of. Well, you’ll see what we mean in a second.)
We’ve been to a LOT of new Disney restaurants over the years.

The opening of a new dining spot is one of the most exciting things for a Disney fan! Brand new theming and ambiance AND new eats?! It can really be a dream come true. We’ve seen quite a few restaurants that have opened recently and MORE announced for the future, but right now we’ve GOT to talk about a new restaurant that you might want to visit ASAP (though getting there could be a little complicated).
If you like to visit a galaxy far, far away…we’ve got a Disney World update for you!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
This update comes from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, where a NEW popcorn bucket has just arrived. Now, we’ve previously seen this popcorn bucket in Disneyland, but it’s finally made its way to Disney World; it just took a few months and a whole lot of patience! Whew!
We’re gearing up for one of EPCOT’s most popular festivals, quite literally!
Food and Wine Festival (2022)
We just said goodbye to the 2023 chapter of EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival for the year which makes way for the upcoming 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. Since there’s going to be so much for us to eat and drink at this festival we’re going to need to make sure we’re packing the right gear to make it around the world! [Read more…]
We are LOVING all the new Princess and the Frog representation coming to Disneyland.
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
We love seeing Tiana in the Magic Happens parade. We can’t WAIT to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure when it opens. However, we may be MOST excited about Tiana’s Palace Restaurant because, well…food! We’ve been following along with the construction of the restaurant, and something NEW and exciting turned up recently!
