food IS a theme park
Disney World is going through some massive changes this year.
Disney Enchantment
From the opening of new attractions like TRON Lightcycle / Run and Journey of Water — Inspired by MOANA, to the return of nighttime classics like Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT Forever, Disney’s evolution this year can be confusing. That’s why we asked you, our readers, what questions you had about all of the changes coming to the parks this year — and you delivered! Let’s clear up a few things.
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?
The future of the Disney Dining Plan still hangs in the air — even over a year after Disney made the announcement that it would be coming back at some point.

But, Disney just announced a new Dining Promo Card offer that functions differently than the Dining Plan — though both are all about the FOOD. We’ve seen similar promo card offers from Disney in the past, and the offers seem to expand to more guests each time. So, is the Dining Promo Card the future of the Disney Dining Plan?
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!

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…]

The Disney Dining Plan has still not returned, despite what Disney previously announced.
Breakfast at ‘Ohana
While we (not-so-patiently) wait for it to come back, there is a small sliver of good news — Disney has announced a DIFFERENT dining offer will be available soon! We heard this offer was on the way, and now it’s officially here — we’re sharing all the details and info you need to know about the new Dining Promo Card deal for Disney World.

We’ve been hearing from many Disney fans about all kinds of changes they hope will happen now that Iger is back, from the return of Magical Express to higher pay for Cast Members. Let’s take a look at the FIRST thing Bob Iger should do now that he’s the Disney CEO once again. [Read more…]
If you’ve been a Disney World fan for all of about five minutes, you probably know that the parks are constantly changing.
Walt and Mickey
Not only that, but change can happen a lot more quickly than you might think. In the past five years, we’ve seen new attractions, restaurants, skip-the-line services, price increases, and more. With so much change happening in such a short period, it’s only a matter of time before we might look at Disney World and hardly even recognize it. We might not be able to see the future, but we can take a look at what the next five years look like for Disney World!
