food IS a theme park
If you’re heading to EPCOT anytime soon, there are rules you need to be cognizant of.
Grand Marnier Orange Slush
Some are official, while others are “unspoken” but just as important to ensuring a good day at Disney World’s original second gate.
Things could be changing at Disney World restaurants, thanks to a new Florida bill.
One of our meals at Homecomin’
We previously reported that HB 535 was making its way through the Florida State House and had passed its first committee approval. The bill would make it easier for restaurants or hotels to remove someone who is not paying their bill. The bill would also “ban automatic gratuity and service charges for parties of fewer than six guests at restaurants, cafes, and other food service establishments.” It would also not require automatic gratuity for parties of more than six guests for those who complain to a manager about the quality of service. Now, we have an update on that bill.
Ahoy there, pirates! A new pirates-themed lounge, The Beak and Barrel, is opening in Adventureland at Magic Kingdom in late summer this year, and we just got a HUGE update!

Summer 2025 may be a game changer for Walt Disney World pricing, as the company has unleashed a slew of discounts on tickets, hotels, and dining for the upcoming season.
TRON Lightcycle / Run
These discounts, especially when combined, can be game-changing for a trip to Disney World, as they can arguably make a trip to “The Most Magical Place on Earth” arguably “cheaper” for the first time in a long time.
Disney is refurbishing one of their most iconic hotels.
Construction in the Grand Floridian began in April 2025
The Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has been Disney World’s premier resort for over three decades. The hotel, which opened in 1988, is described by Disney as a “timeless Victorian-style marvel (that) evokes Palm Beach’s golden era,” and that theme has long extended to the hotel’s lobby. However, now that grand lobby is being refurbished.

If you’ve ever wanted to adventure with Indiana Jones, this is your chance.
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
The Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular has been entertaining guests at Hollywood Studios since (almost) the very beginning. The show features the titular character and Marion Ravenwood “dodg(ing) deadly traps, battl(ing) bad guys, leap(ing) from tall buildings and mak(ing) thrilling escapes straight out of Raiders of the Lost Ark” while at the same time living up to the park’s original working studios theme by giving audiences “an inside look at how stunts are done with demonstrations that reveal how to safely throw and take punches, fall from tall buildings, and even wield whips in the midst of complex action sequences.” The show debuted within months of Hollywood Studios’ (then known as Disney-MGM Studios) opening in August of 1989, and is currently the oldest operating attraction in the park.
