food IS a theme park
The holiday season has officially landed in EPCOT!
2023 Festival of the Holidays
The Festival of the Holidays has kicked off with several food booths, multiple holiday storytellers, and a Candlelight Processional that’s star-studded. But sadly, one of last year’s big holiday offerings may not be returning to the park in 2023!
We hear it all the time.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
“It doesn’t matter where I stay at Disney World! I’m only at the hotel to sleep.” Well, that might be true for a lot of folks, but Disney World hotels are about more than just sleeping. It can be about theming, proximity to your favorite parks, and of course — the PERKS. There are a few experiences that are only available to Deluxe Resort guests, and for many folks (us included), it makes that higher price point WORTH IT. One of those experiences? Extended Evening Hours (EEH)! EEH allow Deluxe Resort Guests to stay in select parks for a few extra hours after all the other guests leave, allowing for SUPER low wait times. Now, Extended Evening Hours for Animal Kingdom have officially arrived at Disney World Deluxe Hotels!
2024 is shaping up to be a good year if Disney World has anything to say about it!
Are you prepared for the changes coming to Disney World?
There are so many things that we’ll see by the end of this year and into the next — new fireworks shows, park transformations, and hotel makeovers, just to name a few. We’re here to talk about our “wish list” of changes we’d really like to see Disney World bring in 2024.
Listen, this might be the Disney Food Blog but we specialize in all things pop culture, okay?
Mickey and Minnie
As much as we’re listening to the EPCOT atmospheric music that plays throughout the parks, we’re also listening to Folklore, Evermore, and Red (Taylor’s Version). That’s right, baby. We’re a team of Disney-loving Swifties. And you best believe that we’ve been keeping up with her new relationship with Mr. Travis Kelce. We can’t wait for new songs about a 6’5″ tight end in red. Anyway, we got to thinking. Which RIDES would Travis and Taylor be if they were Disney World rides? (This is where our tired brains go after Disney drops a bunch of news on us.) We came up with the most perfect list. There will be no discussion, thanks!
We’re heading to Hollywood…Studios that is!
Hollywood Studios at night
This park opened in 1989 and has changed significantly since the beginning, with multiple new additions like Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and Toy Story Land in the past several years. It’s often known as the park with some of the most thrilling rides, but there are a few rides that the Disney World pros tend to SKIP on a visit to Hollywood Studios.
Disney World is always thinking up ways to keep things new and interesting in the parks.
EPCOT
But sometimes, that means we have to say goodbye to some of our favorite attractions. Whether it’s permanent or temporary, nothing stings worse than getting to the park only to realize that the ride you’ve been dreaming about is closed. And if you’ve got a trip to EPCOT planned, there’s an upcoming closure you need to know about.
We consider ourselves to be some of the biggest Disney park fans around, and if you’re anything like us — you just might too!
Pirates of the Caribbean in Magic Kingdom
And, we especially love learning the secrets and ins and outs of everything that goes on behind the scenes, which is why Disney’s Behind the Attraction became an instant classic for us. This show takes you into the minds of Imagineers as you learn stories about iconic Disney attractions — and a second season is coming soon!
We’re about to see a classic Magic Kingdom attraction change in 2024!
Are you prepared for the changes coming to Disney World?
Now, there were all kinds of updates and changes that Disney announced at this year’s Destination D23 event, and changes can be good or bad, but this particular change is the source of a lot of controversy!
Let’s face it, chances are if you’re not coming to Disney World for the food, characters, or entertainment, you’re probably there for the rides.
Spaceship Earth
Disney World is jam-packed with rides and attractions that will keep you on your feet all day long sprinting from one to the next. But with so many rides that can break down at any moment, time could be of the essence when you’re trying to get so much done in such a small amount of time. [Read more…]
We talk pretty often about how unexpected problems can affect your Disney World vacation.
Disney World
Things like bad weather or ride refurbishments can cause issues and make it difficult to accomplish everything on your to-do list. But today, we encountered something truly unexpected — HALF of Magic Kingdom was closed in the morning!
