food IS a theme park
Y’all, we have seen a lot of food,eaten a lot of food, and taken a lot of photos of food this week.
Candy Corn Milkshake
Why? Because Halloween snacks have arrived PLUS we went to the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom and we ate ALL the party-exclusive snacks there, too. SO much food. But we’re back with MORE food news, this time to tell you about changes happening at Disney World restaurants.
Okay, okay — we know there’s going to be a LOT of debate on this one but we’ve just got to talk about the Quick Service restaurants in EPCOT.
EPCOT
There are so many food options in this park and that can make it incredibly overwhelming to know which one is the “best” one to pick for you and your group. So today we’re going through what we think could be some of the most amazing options, but fair warning — even our own team was STRONGLY divided on this topic!
Okay, so we’re here to talk about shoes, and trust us, this could make or break a Disney World trip.
Main Street, U.S.A.
Here’s the thing: the shoes you and your family wear to Disney World MATTERS. Why? Because if you wear the wrong shoes, you’ll end up limping through the parks with sore feet AND blisters, and who wants that? Now let’s talk about kids’ shoes, too. Sure, your child might want to wear some cute plastic princess shoes, but we’re going to warn you: do NOT let your kids try to wear those all day.
So you’re planning on going to EPCOT and drinking around the world? There are some things you need to AVOID doing, then.
EPCOT
Whether you start in Mexico or Canada, or even enter the International Gateway and start in France, there are key things you should not do. We’re here to help you plan ahead and not make these critical mistakes when sipping some drinks around the World Showcase.
DON’T WORRY. The popular Haunted Mansion ride has reopened in Magic Kingdom after a brief closure last week. But what’s still CLOSED in Disney World?
Cinderella Castle
There are four attractions and two restaurants that are currently closed at the parks, and most of them have no official reopening date set. Let’s take a look at what will be closed from August 13th through the 19th so that you’re prepared for your next trip.
There are a lot of things to eat in the Disney parks (especially at EPCOT), but are you eating the WRONG thing or perhaps missing out on the most iconic and delicious meals? You might be! 😱
EPCOT
You might know that tasting flavors of Coca-Cola from around the world at Club Cool is a MUST. And you’re probably very aware of EPCOT’s many festivals and how you’ll want to save up to try all the best eats at those. But what else constitutes “essential” EPCOT eating? What are some of the BEST or most ICONIC meals in the park that you’re missing out on? Don’t worry — we’ll tell you!
Oookay, friends… You may have joined us as we’ve ranked the rides in each of Disney World’s theme parks: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But today, we’re tackling one of our biggest challenges yet: We’re talking about ALL of the BEST Disney World Rides and how YOU should rank them.
Should YOU take on the Tower of Terror???
What do we mean by that? Well, it means we’ll be sharing a few special considerations (kind of like pros and cons) of each ride to help you decide which ones will best suit your traveling crew and should be added to your MUST-RIDE list. [Read more…]

There are also some big things coming to Disney Cruise Line over the next couple of years, including a new ship, the Disney Treasure. There are also several new things coming to the parks worldwide, including a new attraction at EPCOT. So what do the opening timelines look like for all these projects? Well, we’ve seen a few timelines previously confirmed, but now we’ve got even MORE of an idea of what other timelines look like.
If you love sushi and EPCOT, you’re about to have a field day.
EPCOT
We learned recently that a new restaurant addition would be added to the Japan pavilion at EPCOT — an all-new sushi bar and grill called Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya. We knew that the restaurant would open at some point this summer, but Disney didn’t say exactly when… until now!
After Hours events in Disney World are super popular because they allow access to the parks without the crowds, the sun, or the ride lines.
Figment after hours!
Disney has holiday-themed after-hours parties like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. However, there are also park-specific events that happen throughout the year. If you’ve been hoping to attend EPCOT’s after-hours events, you need to book these tickets ASAP!
