food IS a theme park
We got some BIG news from Disney this week.
2023 EPCOT Festival of the Arts
Not only are Happily Ever After and EPCOT Forever returning, but we have an official TRON Lightcycle / Run opening date too! The EPCOT Festival of the Arts has just kicked off and you know we’re there to cover it all! There’s been some progress over at the various construction projects happening around Disney World, too — so let’s check them out!
We’ve tried some interesting snacks during our Disney days.
Refreshment Corner
Some of our interesting snack finds have been at Refreshment Corner in Disneyland, which has been home to many peculiar experiences. We’ve had a delicious dessert pretzel recently, and have also drank out of a lightbulb before. This spot is also known for their interesting hot dogs, and we went to try its picnic hot dog!
The one thing you can count on at Disney World is change — things are constantly changing, evolving, growing, being updated, or under construction at some point.
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
Right now, EPCOT is still undergoing a HUGE transformation. There’s construction going on over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. The Grand Floridian is getting some work done. There’s even construction happening over at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort — and that construction could affect your lunch plans.
Disney’s 100th Anniversary is on its way!
100th Anniversary Disneyland Popcorn Bucket
We’ve already started to see new 100th Anniversary offerings released, like new credit card designs, MagicBand+ designs, and so much more. If you’ve been hoping to try a new 100th Anniversary snack in Disneyland, we’ve got good news — lemon fans will LOVE this new adorable snack!
Picture this: you’re looking for a quick bite to eat just steps away from Magic Kingdom.
Disney World
Should you pop over to the Polynesian? Gallivant over to the Grand Floridian? The answer could be even closer than you might think! At Disney’s Contemporary Resort, look no further than Contempo Cafe. This quick service spot is dishing up all kinds of savory eats and sweet treats — and it’s time we take you with us for a full review!
One of the worst parts of Disney World is a fact that most of us have accepted as part of the experience, and it’s the crowds.
Cinderella Castle!
There’s no denying Disney is a popular vacation destination for people all over the world, and with that brings tons of guests to the parks daily. If you’re only going one time or take trips infrequently, it might be more tolerable. But for those who visit the parks regularly (like Annual Passholders) you might prefer to plan your visits around the busy seasons.
To say the holiday travel season was a little chaotic is a great understatement. Even after bad weather grounded flights all over the U.S., Southwest Airlines continued to cancel thousands of flights FOR DAYS even after the weather had cleared, leaving passengers stranded.
Southwest Plane
As the problem dragged on, Southwest Airlines’ CEO released a public apology video. Eventually, Southwest’s flight schedule returned to normal, and the airline began issuing refunds to affected passengers. However, for some, that isn’t enough, and a lawsuit has been filed against the company.
Okay, so we’ve seen a LOT of unique pairs of ears in Disney World.
EARS FOR DAYS
We’ve seen ears with sails on the back of them, ears straight out of Bridgerton, Lumberjack ears, and more! But the Beaded Ears we’ve seen online and in Disneyland are unique in their own way, and now they’re available in Disney World!
You’ve resolved to travel more, to get out of your home, your neighborhood, and even your town. You may have even resolved to travel beyond the Disney Parks and see more of the world beyond EPCOT’s World Showcase. That’s right — you’re taking a Disney Cruise!
The Disney Wish
But how do you choose which ship to cruise on? Now that Disney’s fleet has expanded to five ships (soon to be six!), you might be struggling to decide which ship is right for you and your family. And since Disney Cruises are quite the investment of your family vacation dollars, that is an important decision. So, we’re here to help you break it down!
The day has finally come!
Pete’s Silly Sideshow
There are lots of meet and greets you can experience in Disney World. Disney announced earlier this month that characters would return to Pete’s Silly Sideshow on January 15th, which means it is time. Come with us to say hello to these characters once again!
