food IS a theme park
EVERYONE STAY CALM! We’re less than 30 hours away from the start of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and we couldn’t be more excited!
Halloween is here!
From trick-or-treating and themed treats to special character meet-and-greets, spooky attraction overlays, and live entertainment, there is SO much to do at this party! But with this party comes a few changes. Here is your reminder for what’s about to change at Magic Kingdom with the start of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!
At DisneyFoodBlog, we eat our way through Disney World and Disneyland so you don’t have to guess.
The full spread!
Every month, our team of reporters hits table service spots, quick service counters, lounges, and everything in between, ordering the new menu items, the classics, and the dishes everyone’s talking about online. We take notes on flavor, value, portion size, and whether a dish is actually worth the wait or the price tag, because we know that on a Disney vacation, every meal is also a budget decision and a memory in the making. Last month, our team ate at 24 different restaurants across both coasts. We can’t cover every single bite in one article, but we’re highlighting five standout meals that taught us something important about dining in the parks right now — and we think these lessons will help you plan your next trip.
If you visited Universal Studios Hollywood recently, you may have been exposed to measles.

According to KTLA, Los Angeles County health officials are warning anyone who visited the park late last month that they could have been exposed to measles after someone with the infectious disease visited the park.
The Disney Parks are home to some of the most iconic and delicious snacks and drinks, ranging from the classic Mickey-shaped Pretzel and the familiar chicken tenders and fries to a Pickle Milkshake and foam-numbing drinks.

The variety of offerings makes Disney a great place for picky eaters and adventurous eaters alike. But let’s talk about the kids for a minute — they can be REALLY picky. So picky that they might only eat certain brands even though they’re familiar with the food as a whole! Well, good news, parents! This new collaboration could make eating a bit easier for your kids!
Believe it or not, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party starts on August 5th!

The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is coming up REALLY soon, and we are so ready to eat our way around all the food booths (and get you reviews because that’s what we do). We’re also ready to listen to some LIVE music performances, chase a rat around World Showcase for a prize, and eat a ton of cheese for another prize.

If you’ve been eying a new water bottle for your trip, we’ve particularly become obsessed with these new ones on Amazon!
