food IS a theme park
A brand-new theme park is officially open, and we’re exploring it ALL! Universal Kids Resort is located in Frisco, a suburb north of Dallas, Texas. It’s aimed at families with young children, but it’s fun for both kids and kids-at-heart!
It’s SpongeBob and Patrick!
This new theme park features seven lands themed after Shrek, SpongeBob, Minions, Trolls, and Jurassic World. We’ve been making our way around this park, and now we’re exploring the SpongeBob SquarePants Bikini Bottom land!
In case you missed it, we’re at Universal Kids Resort in Frisco, Texas, checking out everything this new theme park has to offer ahead of its official opening date on July 1st. We’ve already given you a full tour of the Universal Kids Resort Hotel, as well as a tour of one of its rooms, but now, we’re INSIDE the theme park, and we have SO much to tell you about.
Jurassic World Adventure Camp
So the theme park has seven themed lands based on some kid-favorite properties like SpongeBob SquarePants, Shrek, Minions, Trolls, Puss in Boots, and more. Well, that also includes a Jurassic Park-themed land called Jurassic World Adventure Camp…and y’all, this might be our favorite of all the lands because we just met a baby raptor!
While Universal Kids Resort will officially open on July 1st, we’re at the park right now to experience it early! This is Universal’s first Texas theme park, featuring some of the most popular children’s characters, including SpongeBob, Shrek, and more.
Universal Kids Resort
The park has seven brand-new lands – Isle of Curiosity, Shrek’s Swamp, Puss in Boots Del Mar, Minions vs. Minions: Bello Bay Club, Jurassic World Adventure Camp, TrollsFest, and SpongeBob SquarePants Bikini Bottom – and we’re taking you with us through all of them!
If there is one thing Disney fans love, it is a ride with a long line. 😂
The longer the wait, the more convinced we become that whatever is on the other side must be life-changing. Surely this attraction will heal our skin, balance our finances, and justify standing in the Florida sun for an hour and a half.
Hello, EPCOT!
Unfortunately, that is not always how it works. EPCOT is packed with great attractions, but it is also a park where time management matters. Between the size of the park, the popularity of certain rides, and the temptation to spend half your day eating your way around World Showcase, every hour counts.
We may have found the spot at Disney World that guarantees you’re going to find a delicious sweet treat!
Cannoli Cupcake
If you’ve ever been to the Artist’s Palette at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort, you know that the artwork they create there is the tasty art that dances on your taste buds. There are so many options around Disney World to find a sweet treat, but this place has TONS to offer. Which is why we grabbed FIVE desserts from here!
Sound the alarm, we’re finally getting details on what’s happening at Disney World’s Boardwalk Resort!
BoardWalk
A huge announcement was made about tons of things coming to Disney’s Boardwalk Resort. Yes, we finally have answers on what’s happening with what was Jellyrolls, but what we want to talk about right now is a brand-new shopping experience on the way.
Disney World is taking this whole BIG CHANGES thing way too seriously. Not only are three of Disney World’s four parks getting new lands and expansions, but Disney Springs is getting new experiences and stores, and there’s even a brand new hotel, Lakeshore Lodge, in the works.
BoardWalk
So if it feels like Disney World is revealing new things every day, it almost is! Well, hold on to your hats because more changes are on the way because Disney just revealed some big updates happening at Disney’s BoardWalk, including a new quick-service restaurant. [Read more…]
There’s quite a bit of empty space at Disney’s BoardWalk that we’ve been waiting and waiting (not so patiently) to see how Disney would fill. We lost Jellyrolls, which was one of our most beloved spots with live music, but it seems like something similar is coming back to the BoardWalk.
Old Jellyrolls
Disney just made a HUGE announcement with everything coming, but there’s one that is catching our eye. We might have said goodbye to Jellyrolls (well, sort of. It’s moving to a new location outside of Disney), and we might have found a suitable replacement.
Universal Kids Resort officially opens on July 1st, but we were able to tour the brand-new hotel early! This hotel is built with families in mind and only offers rooms for groups of four or more.
Universal Kids Resort Hotel
There are four room types – Standard Queen, Deluxe Queen, Signature Queen, and Family Suite. Right now, we’re taking you on a tour of a Standard Queen room.
If there’s one thing EPCOT in Disney World is known for, it’s probably the FOOD! The entire World Showcase is packed with restaurants, both quick-service and full-service, and if there’s a festival, there’s even more to choose from. We love to dine everywhere, so we can give you the best review and help you decide where to stop during your trip.
Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar
Let’s go to Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar in the Italy Pavilion in EPCOT. We’re ready to dive into some great Italian dishes, and we’re taking you along!
