food IS a theme park
Uhm what?
2023 Gingerbread House
This Disney World holiday announcement is one we’re not too sure about. It’s certainly the end of an era as we say goodbye to one of our favorite parts of the holiday season.
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle-of-the-road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.
LOTS of crispy garlic
Some new snacks have rolled out at Magic Kingdom and the Grand Floridian, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Are these snacks worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Let’s find out!
Let’s face it — 2026 could be a rough year for Disney World as it continues to progress through several construction projects. Still, that doesn’t mean some new things aren’t opening.

We’re seeing quite a few ride changes in 2026 at Disney World! Over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is getting a Muppets retheme, Magic Kingdom’s Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is finally reopening after a year-plus closure with new effects and an updated track, and big things are happening at EPCOT, including new faces coming to the animatronics of Frozen Ever After and Soarin’ getting an “Across America” update during the country’s 250th anniversary celebration. However, we’ll also be seeing multiple new locations pop up over the theme park resort!
If you’re staying at a Disney World Hotel this month, first of all, we’re super jealous and hope you have the best time, but second, there are some changes you need to know about before your trip starts.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Island Tower
With all the construction happening around Disney World as a whole, not to mention all the new additions that have already arrived or are about to, there’s a lot that changes month to month around the entire resort. It’s our job to keep you updated, so, here’s a full list of EVERYTHING that’s changing at the Disney World hotels this month.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to stay at the most luxurious (and priciest!) hotel in Disney World, buckle up.
Grand Floridian Resort
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is THE flagship resort on property — think Victorian charm meets high-end Disney magic. We’re talking sweeping lobbies, monorail views, and some seriously iconic dining spots. In this post, we’re giving you the full tour: restaurants, shops, pools, rooms, and everything in between.
Most Disney World restaurants and attractions have reopened after the 2020 closures, but if you look closely, there are still some that have yet to come back, and we don’t know if they ever will.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Tables in Wonderland hasn’t made a reappearance, Restaurant Marrakesh in EPCOT has been closed for so long we don’t know if it’ll ever return, and of course, we can’t forget about the elegant tea service that used to be offered at the Garden View Tea Room at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. But now that Disney has a new tea service, will we ever see it return?
When it comes to plant-based eats at Disney World, we’ve come a long way since the days of plain french fries.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
More and more, we’re seeing interesting and creative vegan dishes pop up here and there, and it’s our job to review them so you know which are worth your precious time — and money! We made our way over to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa for lunch the other day and tried a plant-based dish we hadn’t had before, but should YOU give it a go?
We are always on the hunt for the best food and drinks at Disney World!
Grand Floridian Hotel & Spa
There are so many dining locations across all of the Disney parks, and once you add in all the Disney World hotels, the options can seem overwhelming. Don’t worry we are here to help, and today we are reviewing a new food item at one of the Disney World hotels!
Okay, it is HARD keeping up with all the changes in Disney World, but, hey, we’re trying.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
We’re ALWAYS spotting something new on construction projects in the Disney World parks, like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and the new DVC villas at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. We’re always LOOKING for something new at restaurants, especially new ones that should open soon, like The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers and Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs. When we learned that 1900 Park Fare at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa would reopen soon, we’ve been looking for changes there, too — well, something HUGE has changed at the restaurant ahead of its reopening!
Well, it has certainly been a week, hasn’t it?
Peppermint Snowman at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
Disney just had its Q4 2023 Earnings Call and we learned a LOT about how the company is doing financially. We also attended the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Disney World and reviewed a LOT of snacks. We’ve also visited some of the gingerbread displays at Disney World hotels! However, let’s talk about Disney World restaurants. We’ve seen some changes at some restaurants, so let’s see what’s been updated!
