food IS a theme park
Be sure to check out our list of restaurants in the Magic Kingdom.
2023 is HERE! Can you believe it?!
Let’s go!
We’re ringing in the new year at EPCOT and Magic Kingdom and wanted to take you along with us. So let’s dive into all the celebrations happening at the parks!
Well, December was quite a month in Disney World. We ate SO MANY holiday snacks that our tongues will be red and green for at least another month.

We also got news on some NEW restaurants, including The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers and Carousel Coffee (which has officially opened!). There were also some changes to menus at Disney World restaurants, so here are ALL of them for the month!
There’s no question that a trip to Disney is expensive. When you factor in resort rooms, park tickets, dining costs, and souvenirs, it can all add up (and that’s not even including extras like Genie+, PhotoPass, and special events or tours)! Some families save up for years just so they can afford a Disney vacation.
Disney World is EXPENSIVE!
Let’s jump into our list of the BEST free things in Disney World right now. (Whew! Setting the bar high off the get-go, amiright?)
Happy New Year’s Eve from Disney World!
Main Street U.S.A. Christmas Decorations
There is plenty to see and do around the parks on this festive day, like special treats, merch, entertainment, and more — and we’re bringing you along as we check it out. But, we’re not the only ones ringing in the New Year in Disney World, so let’s take a look at the crowds!
Well, we’re ready to put the holiday season behind us, but boy, oh BOY, has it been fun!
The holiday season is coming to a close
We’ve enjoyed seeing all the beautiful holiday decorations, checking out the gingerbread displays, eating ALL the holiday treats, and eating even MORE holiday foods at the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. But now, we’re heading into the first week of 2023, so let’s see what Disney World’s park hours and park pass availability look like for January 1st-7th, 2023!
We’re at the tail end of the holiday season now, but a NEW kind of season is just getting started in Disney World.
Fantasyland
It’s refurbishment season! During the winter months (usually beginning in January), Disney often closes major rides to update them, which means if you’re visiting at this time, you might not be able to visit some of your favorite attractions. Although several rides are going to close later on in January, there won’t be too many new closures this coming week. Let’s take a look! [Read more…]
Who’s ready to kick off 2023?!
New Year’s Eve
We’re in Disney World for the start of the New Year’s Eve celebrations, and we’re checking out all the offerings — from new merchandise to snacks to special celebrations. One thing that Disney World does annually is a countdown to the new year, and if you can’t be in the park with us, you can watch along from home!
So you’re planning a trip to Disney World with your little one — what do you need to know?
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Taking kids to Disney World when they’re in the toddler stage can be a challenge. Between navigating naptimes, finding food that they’ll eat, and dealing with an unfamiliar environment, there’s a lot to learn. But today we’re prepared to answer one of your big questions — which Disney World park is BEST for toddlers?
So it’s probably no secret that the holiday season brings serious crowds to Disney World. That also means some seriously high wait times.
Cinderella Castle with holiday crowds
Granted, we haven’t seen as many crowds as we expected recently, but we have seen high wait times. And today, the EPCOT crowds are HEFTY!! On the flip side of that, things are a little…different in Magic Kingdom. The park that generally has the HIGHEST wait times has some relatively low wait times today!
Who doesn’t want to spend some extra hours in a nearly empty Magic Kingdom?
Magic Kingdom Fireworks Crowds
Disney after-hours events allow you to do just that. Dates are already selling out for the 2023 after-hours events, and we’ve put together a list of everything the Hollywood Studios after-hours events offer, so we knew we needed to put together a Magic Kingdom event offering guide too!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
