food IS a theme park
Here at Disney Food Blog, Disney World is our job. We’re at Disney all day, every day, sometimes walking up to four or five miles a day. Which means that our feet hurt a lot!
We LOVE Brooks shoes!
But Brooks shoes have officially converted us, because we’ve said goodbye to sore feet after wearing their running shoes in the theme parks. That’s why this new Brooks drop on Amazon has us super excited!
Here at Disney Food Blog, there’s only one thing we love more than the Disney parks – Disney merch! We’re always stalking Amazon, Disney Store, and Box Lunch for the best deals on Disney finds.

Bad news, Annual Passholders: Disney is set to eliminate some major perks as soon as the calendar turns to August.
Annual Pass
Disney launched the 2026 edition of the V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days event on May 1st. This “summer celebration” offers limited-time offerings and perks just for Passholders across the resort, including merchandise, spaces, and big savings on dining! However, all of that is about to disappear on July 31st!
Here at Disney Food Blog, we’re at Disney World all day, every day, almost 24/7. Partly because it’s our job, and partly because we just love it! But one thing we don’t love? The INTENSE Florida heat!
A good fan can save your trip!
We love testing products to keep us cool while we’re out and about in the parks, so we set out to test new finds for thousands of hours at Disney World. This tiny but mighty handheld fan won gold!
Put on your chef hats and grab your park essentials, because it’s time to wine and dine in Disney style at the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! The festival runs from August 27th through November 21st, 2026, so you have plenty of time to prep for the best EPCOT fest.

It looks like runDisney fans are getting ready to visit Hong Kong!

Hong Kong Disneyland Resort is launching the brand-new Magic Run Fest – presented by AIA Vitality later this year, and Disney runners are going to want to be a part of this first-ever event! So, why is everyone booking a trip to Hong Kong right now? Because registration opens NEXT WEEK! Let’s take a look at all the details we know.
We love visiting the Disney Parks during the holiday season. Where else can you eat Christmas cookies, listen to holiday music, and meet Santa Mickey Mouse all in one place?
Sleeping Beauty Castle will look like this soon!
We especially love Disneyland Resort’s holiday celebration with “it’s a small world” Holiday, Haunted Mansion Holiday, and Festival of the Holidays. But Disney announced that we’re about to get even more holiday fun this year, because the festivities are starting EARLY!
Disney World has plans to expand, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to. Last year, a new document was filed with the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District that outlined potential expansion opportunities for the Most Magical Place on Earth over the next 20 years.
Cinderella Castle
While nothing has been confirmed, both “new minor theme park” and “new major theme park” possibilities were mentioned in the document, which, of course, caused quite an uproar with folks thinking that a fifth Disney World park was on its way. Recently, these documents were updated with additional details clarifying what exactly Disney has planned for the future.
Fireworks are one of the best ways to end your night at Disney World. Between Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom, Luminous The Symphony of Us at EPCOT, and Fantasmic! at Hollywood Studios, there are so many fireworks options to choose from.
Happily Ever After
But your fireworks plans might be changing soon, because Disney just changed the showtimes of two popular fireworks shows in August!
