food IS a theme park
Today, we’re heading into Disney World’s MOST ADVENTUROUS park for some of the best eats, best sweets, and best drinks that we could find.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
(And we think these could wind up being some of your favorites, too!)
The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is coming up soon — it officially begins on July 27th and runs through November 18th. We recently heard some new information about the Eat to the Beat dining packages, which will be returning this year with two MAJOR changes.
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
Throughout the Food & Wine Festival, you can attend the Eat to the Beat concerts, which take place most nights at the America Gardens Theatre. The concerts are free to attend, but if you want to reserve your spot and throw a nice meal into the mix, you can purchase a dining package. Disney recently released new details about the 2023 dining packages, and there are some pretty significant changes you’ll want to know about before you purchase yours! [Read more…]
The Disney Dining Plan is returning in 2024, and Disney has already announced several CHANGES that will affect the returning plans. However, there’s one MAJOR change that NO ONE seems to be talking about!

So we’re going to talk about it here! [Read more…]
One of our absolute FAVORITE meals in Disney World just got more expensive.
Homecomin’
Over in Disney Springs, you’ll find a ton of great restaurants. But there’s one that stands out above all the rest that we keep going back to time and time again: Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’. This restaurant serves tasty southern-inspired cuisine like fried chicken and doughnuts, hush puppies, and deviled eggs. We know that, like us, a lot of you are big fans of this spot, so we need to warn you that your next visit might be more expensive than the last time you were there. [Read more…]
If you’re heading to Disney World in 2023, you probably have a lot of planning ahead of you.
Cinderella Castle
From park pass reservations and hotels to Genie+ and dining reservations — it can be overwhelming and add up pretty quickly. Luckily, we’ve eaten at every single restaurant in Disney World and we know which ones are worth your time — and your money. We’ve rounded up the BEST restaurants for the value at Disney World in 2023!
Disney World has experienced a lot of changes over the past few years — almost too many to count.
Magic Kingdom at night
But, of course, that’s what we’re here for. We’re here to keep track of all the changes to better inform you ahead of your next trip to the parks. One major change that’s happened is the extended pause of the Disney Dining Plan. We haven’t seen it in effect since before the parks shut down for the global pandemic. Disney HAS said that it will return in the future, but it’s been a while since they made those comments. So, what would have to happen for the DDP to return?
Disney just announced a new promotional offer that could save guests money on food in Disney World — and who doesn’t love to save money in Disney World?
Let’s talk about the Dining Promo Package!
This promotion allows guests to book a vacation package where they’ll receive a free gift card that can only exclusively be used in Disney World restaurants. It’s not exactly the return of the Disney Dining Plan, but it’s about the closest thing we’ve seen since the dining plan was put on hold in 2020. But is it something you should consider for your Disney World trip?
The Disney Dining Plan isn’t back yet (Disney said it would return, but they haven’t provided any details yet), but Disney is offering a different promotion that might help you save on dining!
Dining in Disney World (Liberty Tree Tavern)
The Dining Promo Card is a promotion that we’ve seen before in various forms, and it’s returning in a new way in 2023. It’s essentially a gift card that you can only use at select Disney World restaurants. Only certain guests can receive a Dining Promo Card — we’ll go into more details about who gets the cards in this post. If you do receive a card, though, how do you decide where to spend it? We’re here to help you find the BEST value for your Disney Dining Promo Card. [Read more…]

You might’ve seen all the headlines from Disney’s recent wave of price increases and immediately begun to panic — Disney World is ALREADY so expensive, so how much is it going to cost NOW?

We’ve kept track of ALL the price increases that have happened recently, and we also have analyzed the reasons behind those changes. There were several indications that these price increases were coming, so we know what to look for in the future as well. All that is helpful to know, but what’s MOST helpful is that we know how to help you avoid breaking the bank on your next trip. Let’s dive in! [Read more…]
