food IS a theme park
NEW CHURRO ALERT!
Churro time!
Sound the churro bell, everyone. Disney World just announced three new snacks coming to Magic Kingdom, and one of them is new churros, which means we can’t resist. Don’t be surprised if you see us in line in Frontierland with empty stomachs.
Magic Kingdom is getting a LOT of new stuff right now. In Tomorrowland, a new and updated version of Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin recently opened, while a newly updated Big Thunder Mountain Railroad just reopened in Frontierland. Speaking of Frontierland, it’s getting a huge Cars expansion, while a new Villains-themed land is going behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
Magic Kingdom Ferryboat
Well, Magic Kingdom is also getting some new transportation. We recently reported that a new ferry would be coming to the park, and we now have a NEW updated look at construction on that ferry. However, we’ve also got a look at a retired riverboat just chilling out, perhaps maybe because Disney has future plans for it? Let’s take a look.
If you’re planning a Disney World vacation for 2027, there are some changes you’ll want to note!
Magic Kingdom
A lot is happening at Disney World in 2027, and Magic Kingdom will be no different. With ongoing construction for Piston Peak and the new Villains land, construction walls are up, and other rides are going to be closed for refurbishment. If you’re planning to spend time at this Disney World park, you’ll want to follow these new rules.
One thing about Disney World that can be a little annoying is that so much of the park experience is outdoors, which means you’re exposed to the elements (like random Florida rainstorms) and critters like squirrels, and even the occasional bear.
These bees aren’t so bad
But one little particular group of critters has been causing problems FOR YEARS because these critters have a serious sweet tooth. Yep, we’re talking about bees, and well, the bees are back in Disney World and causing problems with your coffee order.
We’re less than a month away from the start of spooky season in Disney World, and while that feels far too early for many people, we’re looking forward to seeing all the Halloween decorations again!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!
August also means the start of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, which is really what will kick off the season. This year, the exclusive, ticketed, after-hours event takes place on select nights from August 7th through October 31st, and we’re looking forward to it just as much as you are. If you’re on the fence about going, though, we get it. It’s a lot of extra money to spend, and you really only get five hours in the park. Is it worth it? Let’s break down what you can REALLY do in five hours at the party.
We will scream it from the rooftops because we don’t care who knows it: we LOVE ice cream. We’ve eaten tons and tons of cones, bowls, sundaes, bars, and anything else you can imagine all around Disney World, and when a new ice cream drops, we know exactly where we are going.
ICE CREAM!
This time, we’re heading to Anandapur Ice Cream Truck in Animal Kingdom. Don’t worry, you won’t have to chase down the ice cream truck to grab this treat; this snack stand is always here and packed with delicious treats for a hot day.
When we’re craving a tropical snack, meal, or drink at Magic Kingdom, we almost always hop on the monorail and head to Disney’s Polynesian Resort for island cuisine on the beach.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
But the Polynesian has had a LOT of construction recently. Right now, the Grand Ceremonial House, Tiki Terrace, and Wailulu Bar & Grill are going through major refurbishments. But two of these updates just got postponed!
Disney just made a MAJOR change at Disney Springs.
The new bus rule
Depending on who you ask, it’s either no big deal or the end of Walt Disney World as we know it.
It just got easier to fly to Florida!

Breeze Airways is adding new daily nonstop flights from Tampa to Las Vegas starting next year.
There are a lot of great opportunities to explore and enjoy food and wine in Disney World this fall. You’re probably already familiar with the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, and you’ve probably seen us talk a lot about the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic.
Wine Bar George
However, a brand NEW food and wine experience is coming to Disney World in September at Wine Bar George (yep, one of our favorite Disney Springs restaurants) that you need to know about. So let’s get to all the details! [Read more…]
