food IS a theme park
After months of questions, we FINALLY know what’s coming to Disney’s BoardWalk Resort.
Disney’s BoardWalk Construction
After what felt like an eternity of sitting vacant, big changes are finally coming to some long-abandoned spaces at the popular Deluxe Tier Disney World Resort.
We’re BACK at one of our favorite spots on Disney’s BoardWalk, because yes, there’s ANOTHER new menu item, and you know we had to head there to try it out immediately.
Who’s ready for cake?
The Cake Bake Shop may be pricey, but wow, are those cake slices and other treats from the bakery absolutely divine. That’s not even touching on the actual restaurant side, which also ranks very high for us, but we love how accessible the bakery is. If you want a sweet treat that will take you right back to your childhood, look no further than this new cake slice.
We were in Disney World every day this past week, and saying that a lot happened would be a complete understatement.
LEVEL99 is here!
A meet and greet location opened EARLY after a lengthy closure, we finally got a reopening date for a popular Disney World hotel restaurant, and an EPCOT store closed for refurbishment, but all of that doesn’t even TOUCH on our favorite event of the past week.
The last month has been a MAJOR one for Disney World announcements.

Between new theme park lands, resort expansions, and Disney Springs additions, the next year or two is shaping up to be one of the most exciting stretches for Disney World food fans in a LONG time! Here’s a look at SIX confirmed new restaurants and dining spots heading to the Most Magical Place on Earth.
We’ve noticed a trend popping up a LOT at Disney’s BoardWalk recently!
BoardWalk
There are plenty of great places to eat at the BoardWalk, from ultra-opulent table service spots like The Cake Bake Shop and Flying Fish to grab-and-go eats at places like BoardWalk Deli and Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs. But even with so many amazing choices, we’ve noticed tons of guests looking for a cool treat this summer, only to find that they can’t get one at the BoardWalk yet!
Disney hit us with a LOT of major news this week, especially news about the upcoming holiday season. Now, we know a LOT more about Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Jollywood Nights, and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays.
Bang Bang Chicken at Raglan Road
However, Disney World restaurants were busy changing their menus this week, too, and we’re going to take a look at every single menu update that happened during the week. So let’s get into it.
Disney dropped a TON of news this week, especially around what we can expect from the holiday season in both Disneyland Resort and Disney World, but we also got some much-needed updates on a few projects happening inside the parks.
Minnie Mouse at Pete’s Silly Sideshow
We finally know when a long-closed attraction will reopen in Magic Kingdom, an EPCOT store is getting ready to temporarily close, and we’re in our final week before Carousel of Progress closes for its long refurbishment. If you’re heading into the parks soon, a lot is going on that you need to know about ahead of time, so we’re here to catch you up!
While June 2026 didn’t see any major Disney World openings like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or the Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets like the months before it, the halfway mark of the year still saw some major announcements at the “Most Magical Place on Earth.”
Cinderella Castle
From new details on a highly anticipated land to new restaurants, shops, festival entertainment lineups, and more, there are a lot of Disney announcements to sift through in June.
While there wasn’t much news from inside the actual Disney World parks this past week, we did get TONS of news that will soon affect Disney Springs and Disney’s BoardWalk.

For months now, there have been empty buildings over at the BoardWalk, and while there have been permits filed, there has been no official announcement as to what is on the way. Until now, that is, because this past week, Disney revealed exactly what’s coming to the BoardWalk, and we also got some exciting updates about Disney Springs projects in the works!
