food IS a theme park
Cool Kid Summer has officially kicked off at Disney World! This event is happening all summer long and brings new entertainment, characters, and more to ALL four Disney World theme parks — and even the hotels!
Have a Gooftastic summer!
We spent a day checking out a ton of Disney’s Cool Kid Summer activities, and we’re bringing you everything you need to know!
Memorial Day weekend means summer has arrived in Disney World, and we are so ready for it (okay, maybe we’re not so ready for all the heat and humidity).
Breakfast at Trattoria al Forno
There’s so much to look forward to this summer. TWO new shows are set to debut soon in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, while a new parade will soon make its premiere in Magic Kingdom. Now, summer is generally kinda’ a slow time when it comes to food, but that doesn’t mean that Disney World restaurants aren’t still changing up their menus. So, yes, Disney World restaurant menus changed this week, so let’s take a look at what’s been updated.
A popular Disney World restaurant has reopened, and the shenanigans are back! However, while this restaurant has reopened, there are still numerous closures in Disney World that we want you to know about. We always want to ensure you are as prepared as possible for your Disney World trip!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
That’s why we want to make sure you know about closures that could impact your Disney World vacation! The good news is that Disney often lets us know about closures beforehand. You can’t control or plan for unexpected closures, BUT you can plan ahead for the planned closures at Disney World. Let’s look at which restaurant just reopened, and what closures are happening this week.
Disney World is always changing… and some of your favorite trip planning strategies might not survive into 2026.

Well, it’s certainly been a busy week for Disney World, hasn’t it?
Mickey Lemon Cookie
We’ve been getting TONS of details about spooky season, most notably about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, including dates and things you can expect at the parties this year. In fact, for some Disney World visitors, tickets are already on sale! Yep, we’re about halfway to Halloween, so it’s time to start planning for spooky fun. However, we’re going to come back to spring in Disney World to look at restaurant changes that happened this week.
Finding breakfast at Disney World can be one of the hardest meals to find. When you’re focused on running into the parks to catch that first ride and meet those cool characters, you might forget that starting with breakfast will make the rest of the day smoother.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
We headed down to Tusker House Restaurant in Africa at Animal Kingdom to see if it was worth the time and money, and if you should add it to your park day. Come with us for a full review as we dine with our favorite Disney characters.

Hello from Disney World!
Macaron from Les Halles in EPCOT
Yep, we’re back in Disney World this week, where we ate five snacks from the ever-popular Les Halles in EPCOT’s France Pavilion (why not, right?). We’re also saying goodbye to Mama Melrose’s in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which closed its doors FOREVER. But that doesn’t stop Disney World from changing menus at its existing restaurants — oh no, and we’ve got quite a few menu updates to share with you this week.
Mother’s Day is almost here, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom is celebrating the joy and beauty of nature around the park. Take a break from the internet and come with us to look at cute baby animals!
Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom has welcomed some new baby animals recently, and if you haven’t seen them yet, trust us when we say they’re adorable. With so many newcomers in the park, the baby animals had to celebrate their mothers as well!
