food IS a theme park
Are you looking for something special in a hidden place in Disney World?
Disney Springs
Disney Springs is constantly surprising us with fun new merchandise, food, and events. Now, we found something new coming next month but it’s in a secret hideaway!
There’s a lot going on at Disney World right now!
EPCOT
We’ve seen some testing over at the new TRON ride in Magic Kingdom, the PeopleMover got a new sign, and we’ve even gotten 2023 booking information for the Star Wars Hotel. We head to the Disney World parks almost every day so we can bring you the latest updates, so today, we’re heading to EPCOT to check out what’s new!
Disney World rides are changing all the time — sometimes it’s a major overhaul (like The Great Movie Ride becoming Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway), and sometimes it’s just small updates and general refurbishments.
Tomorrowland
Recently, we spotted some updates at a Magic Kingdom attraction, but you’ll have to be a Disney EXPERT to notice what’s different! Come along with us to ride the Carousel of Progress and see what’s new here. [Read more…]

Character dining experiences are one of the best ways to meet characters in Disney World. First, you’re guaranteed to see certain characters while you’re there, and the interactions can be longer than what you might get at a regular meet and greet.
Hollywood & Vine
Two, you get characters AND food, and what’s a better combination than that? Many character dining experiences switched to family-style dining after Disney World reopened, but a lot of them are returning as buffets. Hollywood & Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopened with family-style dining, but now we’re taking you with us to see if buffet dining has changed anything at this spot!
There’s a lot happening in Disney World these days!

When it comes to travel and travel-related news, there’s a lot going on, especially regarding COVID-19.
The travel industry is changing a lot!
For example, many cruise lines are frequently updating their COVID-19 vaccination and testing requirements as the situation changes. Royal Caribbean recently announced that it would be removing its COVID-19 vaccine requirement on most sailings, and vaccinated guests will no longer need to get tested for sailings on most Disney Cruise Line ships beginning next month. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention keeps an eye on COVID numbers at many international destinations, with a system that ranks these places in different categories based on how many residents of these countries have tested positive for COVID-19. We recently reported that the CDC had added two new destinations to its “high” risk category, and now, another destination has been added.
