food IS a theme park
Recently, we shared with you over 50 Disney World upgrades that cost less than $50 and that got us thinking…
Disney World
…what about some upgrades you can find for even CHEAPER?
Disney World has been closed for almost two months, and we’re really missing drivin’ the Disney streets.

So, we went for a little ride around the roads of Disney World to see how our dear resort is doing in our absence. Sure, we’ve seen some birds-eye-view pics of the closed parks, but we’re checking out how it feels to be IN Disney World right now. Take a look.
Oh, Disney snacks and drinks, how we miss you!!
Mickey Pretzel
Since the parks have been closed, we’ve been having some MAJOR withdrawal from all the amazing restaurants in Disney World. From simple Mickey Pretzels at the food carts to the HUGE Kitchen Sink at Beaches and Cream, Disney hands-down has some of the best treats to indulge in when you’re at the parks.
Buuut, that doesn’t mean they’re all hits! There are still snack and drink flops, even in the Most Magical Place on Earth.
Attention all chocoholics! This next list is for YOU! Disney World is full of tasty chocolate treats, and we’re sharing ten of the absolute best chocolate desserts you can find in the parks and resorts!
We even put chocolate on our PRETZELS!
These are in no particular order (we couldn’t POSSIBLY rank these even if we wanted to) so let’s dig in.
If you’ve been to Disney World before, chances are you faced at least one Florida torrential downpour that cleared to sunny skies minutes later (sometimes multiple times on the same day!).

But what do you do when a hurricane is headed to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Do you cancel your trip or make the most of it? We’re sharing six tips to help you plan for hurricane season in Disney World!
Do you consider yourself to be quite the Disney World buff? Can no one else hold a candle to your wisdom of Walt and all things mouse-related??
Well then, it’s time to put your Disney knowledge to the test!
The year is not even halfway over but we are already thinking about the holiday season in Disney World.

And it seems like many of you readers have the holidays on your minds TOO, because we get the same question all the time: “When does Disney decorate for Christmas?” (And whether you want the year to be flying by so fast or not, you can make those Advance Dining Reservations for Christmas day NEXT MONTH.)
So today we’re laying out a timeline of when you can expect to see Christmas decor popping up all throughout the Most Magical Place on Earth just in case it helps your planning!
There’s a LOT to accomplish in a single day at Disney World! Between all the rides to ride, shows to see, and characters to meet, FastPass+ is an excellent way to do it all.

With park crowds being relatively low in the morning, it may be optimal for you to make FastPass+ reservations in the late morning and early afternoon. This gives you the chance to ride some prime attractions in the morning before the lines build up, AND leaves the possibility to score MORE FastPasses later in the day.
But as you’re planning your FastPass selections, you may find that this strategy leaves little time for lunch. And keeping your energy up is critical to check all those boxes off your “to do” list!

With that in mind, we have six lunch suggestions for you to consider. These lunches will get you to your FastPasses on time, while still giving you a delicious meal. We cover all four parks in this list, so let’s jump right in!
Who out there among us isn’t feeling a little EXTRA-indulgent these days!
Cupcake at Disney’s Pop Century Resort
In fact, not sure about you guys, be we’ve taken to storing some snacks between our couch cushions so that we don’t have to get up as much (and the kids and pets haven’t caught on to us yet!). WE KID, WE KID!
Disney World’s top dining spots have been vying for your foodie affections in our official DFB Table Service Restaurant Throw Down which kicked off recently!
Epcot
And while we’ve told you how rounds one, two, three, and four have gone down so far — we didn’t tell you how CLOSE some of these big brawls were!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
