The EPCOT Festival of the Arts begins on January 17th! We’ve been busy making a list of ALLLL the foods and drinks we plan to eat on day one of the festival, but it’s hard to build a budget when you don’t know the prices of all the new and returning menu items. Well, two days ahead of the Festival of the Arts big kickoff, we spotted the first official menu in EPCOT!

With that menu comes a full list of prices for the popular booth in the Japan Pavilion — the Goshiki booth. Come with us to check it out!
Whatever you do, do NOT underestimate the food at Morimoto Asia — this place has some GREAT things to eat! Morimoto Asia is Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto’s first Pan-Asian restaurant focusing on Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cuisines. We’ve dined here several times, and we have never been disappointed.

If you’re looking for an excuse to visit this spot, you’re in luck! Morimoto Asia is hosting a special Ramen Rumble event AND celebrating the Lunar New Year this January. Of course, this means there will be exclusive new snacks and drinks to enjoy, like a Snake Eyes cocktail and Crispy Bossam-style Pork Belly.
Just days ago we were talking about the menus for the newest Disney restaurants to be hitting the scene and now the time has come to try them out!

Listen — we tend to get really excited when menus change and new restaurants open because this means we get an opportunity to try out the newest eats, treats, and sips to help you decide where you need to visit on your next Disney trip.

It’s time for a Disney World trip R.E.P.O.R.T. I’ve been to Disney World a LOT. I’ve worked in the parks (both literally as a Cast Member and physically as a remote worker). I’ve played in the parks. I’ve dined in the parks. I’ve made friends in the parks. There’s never a dull moment when you’re in Disney World!

Now that I’m back from my latest trip to Disney World, I’m here to share my experience! Even though I’ve been to Disney World more times than I can count, each trip is different, and there’s always something I would do differently. Come along and see what it’s like to have a quick trip to Disney World from the perspective of a Gen Z Disney fan!

What’s better than a Mickey pretzel and beer?
In 2024, Disney reintroduced this special promotion to a small group of people, and the deal came with some caveats — meaning it wasn’t available to just anyone. But now, the FREE Disney Dining Plan offer is back and being offered to all guests and we’re breaking down the CHEAPEST DAYS to go to Disney World with FREE DINING in 2025. Let’s get into it!
It’s amazing how two simple words can perk up the ears of any Disney expert. Every once in a while, Disney releases new deals and discounts for upcoming vacations. Maybe you’re looking out for a sweet hotel discount. Maybe you’re hoping for a special vacation package offer. Well, there is one special deal that’s been SUPER rare over the past few years. Ever heard of a little thing called free dining?

Stay calm, everyone. It’s really happening. Disney is bringing free dining BACK in 2025, and this time, ANYONE can take advantage of the offer. You may remember free dining made its long-awaited return in early 2024 for a select group of people, but since then, it’s been all quiet on the dining front. Well, the wait is over! We’re here to tell you everything you need to know about this deal, so let’s hop to it.
So. You want to use the Disney Dining Plan for your upcoming Disney World vacation. Maybe you want the convenience of pre-paying for your meals. Maybe you like sticking to a list. Maybe you want to experience a variety of Disney food on vacation. No matter your reasoning, it’s important to know exactly what is and isn’t included with the Disney Dining Plan.
Mickey Pretzel
Disney just made a BIG announcement regarding the Disney Dining Plan. Starting in 2025, the beloved free dining deal is returning this summer! That means you can enjoy all the benefits of the Dining Plan…without paying for this pricey add-on. But if you’re planning a trip to Disney World with the free dining deal in mind, you might want to make sure the restaurants you like accept Dining Plan credits. Luckily, we have a FULL LIST of the restaurants that qualify in Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney Springs.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
