food IS a theme park
Hey, y’all. We’re sorry we have to bring you this sad Magic Kingdom news.
Cinderella Castle
It’s official — one of our favorite ways to get on Magic Kingdom‘s most popular rides without waiting in line is now SOLD OUT.
Whoever popularized the phrase “you can’t have your cake and eat it too” clearly never tried the crepes from the France pavilion in EPCOT at Disney World.
Our full meal!
There’s so much to explore in the France pavilion between a royal meet and greet with a Disney princess, some of our favorite dessert and quick service food spots, and one of EPCOT’s most popular rides. But, even with all of that, you can STILL want (and get) more than you ever thought possible! [Read more…]
Something new is coming to the American Adventure Pavilion in EPCOT, which means that part of the EPCOT World Showcase pavilion will soon be closing.
American Adventure Pavilion
The American Heritage Gallery inside of the American Adventure Pavilion will be welcoming a new collection soon, but that means part of this pavilion will have to close in order for Disney to prepare. We’re sharing all the details you need to know so you’re not caught off guard by this closure!
Is there a Disney World hotel that is your favorite? It’s the one hotel you stay at every time you go to Disney World, and you’ve started to think about it as your home away from home.
Pop Century Resort
There are many hotels to choose from in Disney World. You can pick from Value, Moderate, or Deluxe resorts, each categorized by price. Each hotel is unique in its own way, but all offer special perks including transportation, cool Disney theming, and extra time in the parks in some capacity (all hotel guests can take advantage of Early Entry days, while Deluxe hotel guests also get Extended Evening hours on select nights). Even though every hotel can be a great option for people visiting Disney World, we’ve started to notice something about Disney’s Value resorts, and it’s really hard for us to talk about because it’s unfair in so many ways.
This Walt Disney World opening day attraction will be this month.
Hall of Presidents
Located in Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square, the Hall of Presidents has been a part of the fabric of the park since Walt Disney World opened in 1971. Described by Disney as a place where you can “behold all 45 Presidents of the United States in a stirring show tracing the nation’s history.” However, no one will be able to do so for two days in June.
We live for an EPCOT festival.
EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
The seasonal festivals in EPCOT bring scavenger hunts, art, gardens, and of course FOOD. Trying all the food and drinks at every booth is one of our favorite Disney World activities. However, since these are seasonal festivals, they’re only around for a limited time. There are four festivals that you can take part in throughout the year — Festival of the Arts, Flower and Garden Festival, Food and Wine Festival, and Festival of the Holidays. Currently, the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is ongoing, but that will be changing VERY soon.
Hi, hello. This is not your regularly scheduled Disney parks fashion recommendation. This is coming from a former Disney World Cast Member who worked six days a week outside in EPCOT in the dead of summer. This is coming from a person who was on their feet — hard concrete, more specifically — for the entire day. As you can imagine, standing outside under the hot Florida sun can take a toll on your body. You need good shoes.
EPCOT
Even if you’re not planning to work as a Disney World Cast Member, you might still want to pack a pair of comfortable shoes for your next trip to Disney World. Trust us — the right pair of shoes can make a WORLD of difference.
We’ve seen some HUGE things coming to Disney Parks all over the world. In the U.S., EPCOT is almost done with a massive transformation.
Peter Pan’s Never Land in Fantasy Springs
In Hong Kong Disney Resort, the World of Frozen just opened an entirely new land. Likewise, a new Zootopia-land just opened recently at Shanghai Disney Resort. Tokyo DisneySea is prepping for the opening of the Fantasy Springs expansion on June 6th, which brings three new lands to the park. But we know more is coming. Disney previously stated it would spend $60 billion on parks and experiences in the next 10 years, but recently, we learned a lot of new projects could open in 2025.
Summer is pretty much here, and things are heating up in Disney World (both literally and figuratively).
Chocolate Tart filled with The Grey Stuff
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open soon, and we just learned we’ll be able to get authentic New Orleans hot sauce and seasonings at Magic Kingdom when the ride opens. We revisited Be Our Guest to get you an honest review of how things are there right now. We also checked out EVERY menu at Disney World restaurants for changes.
Wilderness Explorers: listen up! We’ve got some EXCITING news. Our good friend Kevin here let us in on a little secret. During our recent visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we stopped by to say hello to Kevin. But as she was leaving, we learned that her friend was in the area, too.
Meet Kevin from ‘Up’
As you may have heard, Russell from Up started visiting Discovery Island recently to meet new friends! We stopped by to practice our wilderness calls (and had a BLAST). But there’s another character you can now meet in Animal Kingdom, and he LOVES to talk!
