food IS a theme park
Be sure to check out our list of restaurants in the Magic Kingdom.
Even us Disney World EXPERTS run into problems from time to time. Hey, we’re not perfect! But there’s one good thing about encountering problems in Disney World: we can pass on the valuable lessons we learned to YOU! You’re welcome.
Magic Kingdom
The truth is Disney World has a few BIG problems. But fear not — we have the solutions.
We talk pretty often about how unexpected problems can affect your Disney World vacation.

Things like bad weather or ride refurbishments can cause issues and make it difficult to accomplish everything on your to-do list. But today, we encountered something truly unexpected — HALF of Magic Kingdom was closed in the morning!
Well, the past week has been an exciting one, especially for us Disney World fans!
Pumpkin Spice Butter Bar
We got some updates on some pretty MAJOR projects happening in the parks, including a revamped Country Bears Jamboree, more ideas for the Magic Kingdom expansion, and potential concepts for the reimagining of DinoLand, U.S.A. But that isn’t all that happened. While all THAT was going on, Disney World was changing up some restaurant menus, but it’s okay because we are on top of it!
It’s no secret that we have several favorite snacks in Disney World.
Spring Roll Cart
There are the classic snacks, like Dole Whip and Mickey Waffles. But newer snacks have won us over, too, including some that are no longer available (we miss you, Wendell Bear Claw). Well, one of our favorite snacks has now RETURNED to Disney World, and if you see us over here dancing with some spring rolls in front of Cinderella Castle — well, no you didn’t.
The wait for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to be completed feels like it’s taking FOREVER, y’all, and we’re getting impatient.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Water Tower
Sure, Tiana would tell us to have patience because “fairy tales can come true.” But Disney has already stated that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure won’t open until late 2024. So, for now, we’re just checking in on the construction of the ride, hoping to spot something new, and well, we’ve got a NEW update to share with you.
Is your Disney World trip all planned and ready to go? You’ve got your top-priority rides mapped out? All those restaurant reservations set?
Cinderella Castle
Before you go, we have to make sure you know about a few ride and restaurant CLOSURES that might affect your vacation! Check out this list of temporary closures for the week of September 17th through the 23rd.
If you love to end your nights in Magic Kingdom by watching the iconic “Happily Ever After” fireworks show, then this post is for you!
Magic Kingdom Fireworks
Occasionally, the start time for fireworks changes, and when this happens, it’s important to be on top of things so that A) you aren’t late, or B) you aren’t sitting around and wasting your precious park time wondering why the show hasn’t started. Well, the “Happily Ever Show” will soon start EARLIER!
There are all sorts of secrets hidden around Disney World!
EPCOT
There are what we like to call hidden gem snacks, hidden gem hotels, and even hidden gem bathrooms. These things aren’t actually hidden, or even necessarily a secret, but they are lesser-known, lesser-used, and all-around underrated. Let’s talk about a few of them!
We’ve got one announcement we shouldn’t talk about, but we’re going to anyway!
Cinderella Castle
After so many incredible and ambitious announcements coming out of Destination D23, it was hard to keep all the timelines straight. We finally found out when we could meet and greet with Figment in EPCOT, announcements about a new Disney’s newest ship, the Disney Adventure, and so much more… but, even our best fortunetelling powers couldn’t have prepared us for how soon we’d see another CHANGE so quickly in Magic Kingdom.

Out with the old and in with the new seems to be Disney World’s motto these days.
Disney World
A new meet and greet has officially arrived in Magic Kingdom, but that means we had to say goodbye to one of our favorites. After learning that a Mirabel meet and greet would be replacing the Merida one at Fairytale Gardens, we were left wondering what might happen to our girl Merida — and today, we happened to find her in an unexpected spot!
