food IS a theme park
We’re back to explore everything new at the Disney resorts!
Contemporary Resort Mickey!
We have a TON of new food and merchandise finds to share with you! Are you ready??
It’s almost St. Patrick’s Day, and you know what that means… .
The Wave Lounge
There are LOTS of green drinks and treats to try in Disney World! We’ve been making our way around the parks, resorts, and Disney Springs where so far we’ve tried a Shamrock Sour, a Peppermint Patti, and more. But today, we spotted 3 new drinks in Disney World to celebrate the holiday a little early!
It’s been nearly a year since we were last able to watch a fireworks show at Disney World.
Happily Ever After
When the parks reopened last summer, nighttime spectaculars did not return and continue to be temporarily suspended. Although, we did get a little fireworks surprise around the holidays, and preparations are underway in EPCOT for its upcoming show, Harmonious, normal fireworks shows aren’t taking place. But, that hasn’t stopped Disney from testing fireworks!
We’re here to share all of our findings from our most recent trip to Disney’s monorail resorts!

We stopped by Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney’s Contemporary Resort to check out any and all updates! Let’s check them all out.
In case you haven’t heard, 2021 is kind of a big year for Disney World. And for its 50th anniversary, Disney is bringing out the big guns to serve as Global Ambassador for the momentous occasion!
Fantasyland
A former President of both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World, George A. Kalogridis has taken on the role. He’s got a lifelong connection to The Walt Disney Company, and now he will continue his journey with this new project.
When you’re at Disney World, pin trading is basically a sport. There are pins for hotels, rides, characters, and even pins you can only get by trading with Cast Members.
Pin Wall at Disney Springs Pin Traders
New pins are constantly being released, so we stop by the racks of pins every time we’re at the parks to see what’s new! Recently we spotted a new princess pin featuring Princess Leia from Star Wars. She may not wear a tiara like the other Disney princesses, but she has definitely earned her princess title! But, there’s something just a little off about this new pin.
Monorail fans: you may want to sit down for this one.
Contempo Cafe
Obviously, the delicious food and unique atmosphere of a Disney restaurant contribute to its theming. But so do the Cast Members! Their costumes play a huge part in the experience — and today, we noticed that some of those costumes had gotten a makeover.
We took a trip around the monorail to see the latest updates!
Grand Floridian
We visited Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. We’ve got several updates for you, so let’s dive in!
We’ve been keeping an eye on all the menu changes throughout Disney World so y’all know the latest updates before your next visit!
Paddlefish Disney Springs
We noticed a handful of changes this week, including new entrees, seafood staples, and more! Let’s jump on in!
It’s hard to go wrong with a combination like wine and chocolate.
Grand Floridian
For New Year’s, Disney World offered a special celebration package that included sparkling wine and chocolate at a few resort restaurants. It looks like this package will continue in 2021, because a Valentine’s Day version has just popped up on select menus!
