food IS a theme park
Summertime has arrived in Disney World!

Minnie’s Summertime Dine started at Hollywood & Vine this week in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. New menu items are set to arrive at Disney World restaurants soon to usher in the seasonal change. There’s even a new summer Disney World ticket deal available for booking. We’re also seeing some changes on Disney World restaurant menus, so let’s look at what’s happening.
There’s been a lot of discourse on the summer crowds in Disney World lately. Will people show up en masse, or will we finally see a deserted Main Street, U.S.A. this June? If you’re planning a trip to Disney World this summer, you’re probably hoping for low crowds and even lower wait times. We certainly are keeping our fingers crossed — no one likes a long line for a cup of Dole Whip!

As we approach hotter temperatures and rising humidity levels, are more people showing up to the parks and resorts? Come with us to see if Memorial Day week brought big crowds to the Disney parks!
When it comes to Disney World, one thing is always consistent: CHANGE.

Things are always changing in Disney World. Rides close and new rides open. New restaurants are announced and new celebrations take over the parks. We’ve already seen a bit of change coming to Disney World restaurants and dining in 2023, but here are the three best changes so far.
Disney World rides will sometimes close temporarily due to technical difficulties or bad weather. Other times, the rides close for scheduled maintenance.

Disney usually announces those scheduled closures ahead of time so that you can be prepared for your next vacation. To help you get ready, check out this list of everything that’ll be CLOSED in Disney World next week!
If you’ve been to Disney World even once, you probably know that rain can literally happen at any given moment.
Rainy day at EPCOT
The weather can completely disrupt your day, close down rides, and probably leave you soaked and miserable by the end of the day (although we DO have some tips to prepare for the weather). But what if there is a good side to the rain? What if you could score a HUGE discount, but ONLY when it rains in Disney World?
When it comes to EPCOT, one of the major appeals is the opportunity to experience the seasonal festivals that allow visitors to try new foods, watch some seasonal shows, and buy themed merchandise.
Food & Wine Festival
EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival takes place yearly throughout the late summer and fall harvest seasons, bringing hearty eats to each of the festival booths, as well as concerts, games, and a food-inspired race weekend. While this is a fan-favorite festival for many, it might be worth skipping this year for some.
We love surprises — especially in Disney World!
EPCOT
When it comes to Disney World construction projects, things are almost always a mystery. When will things open? When will they close? It’s often pretty hard to guess! During our most recent trip to EPCOT, we stumbled upon a surprise soft opening over by Test Track!
Welcome back to the battle of the BEST Disney World quick-service restaurants!
