food IS a theme park
When it comes to beloved Magic Kingdom rides, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is at the top of the list for many.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Located in Frontierland, the western ghost town-themed coaster is a great choice for those looking for a family-friendly ride. Plus, it’s one of our FAVORITE places to catch the Magic Kingdom fireworks each night. If you’ll be visiting Disney World in January, though, you might not be able to ride the attraction…

Does it EVER get cooler at Disney World?! Well, there are several days throughout November through February that it can get pretty chilly out — especially in the mornings and after the sun sets. When this happens, you’ll see a few things around the parks start to change just a little bit. Let’s talk about it!
It’s the most wonderful (and busy/hectic/wild) tiiiime of the yeeeear! 🎶
It’s TIME!
Yep, over the past week, we officially entered the holiday season at Disney World, Thanksgiving came and went, and now, we have our sights set on Christmas and the New Year. In case you weren’t at Disney World this week to witness all the chaos that the start of the holiday season involves, this post is for you!
If you’re craving Tex-Mex at Disney World, Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe is a popular option.
Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe
Located in Frontierland of Magic Kingdom, this quick-service eatery provides visitors with southwestern flavor in the form of tacos, nachos, fajitas, and even bowls. The food here isn’t anything to write home about, but with the right combination of toppings, you can get yourself a pretty hearty and delicious lunch or dinner. However, something has been missing on the menu…
With Thanksgiving just a few short days away, the holiday season is getting kicked into high gear.
Holidays in Magic Kingdom
With the holiday season comes dense CROWDS, as folks are headed to the parks to celebrate. On November 20th, we saw these crowds show up in full force. Genie+ was at the record-high price of $35, and STILL sold out for Magic Kingdom and for the Multi-Park option. Oh, and Park Pass Reservations filled up for Magic Kingdom. After heading into the park the morning of November 20th, we found out just how REAL those crowds were.
Disney World is THE place to try fun and unique snacks.
Dole Whip Cupcake
All over the Disney World parks, you can find classic theme park foods as well as fun twists on those foods. One of our favorite places to grab some exciting sweet treats is Main Street Confectionery, which probably comes as a surprise to no one. It’s a popular place to grab snacks as it is conveniently located right on Main Street, U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom. Today, we’re headed to the Confectionery to try a brand new Skittles snack!
A fan-favorite activity in Magic Kingdom at Disney World is watching the Festival of Fantasy Parade.
Festival of Fantasy Parade
This parade allows you to see an impressive array of Disney’s most beloved characters — from Cinderella, to Rapunzel, to Mickey and Minnie! Many Disney World visitors add this parade as a must-do on their Disney bucket list, and if you’re also hoping to catch the parade during your upcoming visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth, then you’ll want to pay close attention.
When you were little, did you ever go to the fair? And your folks would just hand over a $20 bill and tell you to have at it?
Mad Tea Party in Magic Kingdom
Today, that’s what we were given to work with at Magic Kingdom at Disney World. Honestly, Magic Kingdom does fit the vibe of a county fair if you really think about it. You’ve got the endless snacks, spinning rides, and even Main Street, US.A., which feels just like a small town (which is totally on purpose, because it was modeled after Walt Disney’s hometown of Marceline, Missouri!). Anyway, we were given $20 to come up with a DREAM lineup of food in Magic Kingdom.
What do Mickey Bars, Dole Whips, and Cheeseburger Spring Rolls have in common?
Columbia Harbour House
They are all pretty iconic Magic Kingdom snacks. Whether you’re looking for a sit-down meal or would prefer to eat on the go, there are lots of food options in Disney World’s most popular park to choose from. Columbia Harbour House, a quick service location in Liberty Square, typically is a great spot when you’re trying to please a variety of tastes. How did that reputation hold up on a recent midday trip? Let’s find out.
When it comes to planning a perfect Disney vacation, people typically envision a day in Magic Kingdom.
Welcome to the Magic Kingdom!
Whether you’re walking down Main Street, U.S.A., taking photos in front of Cinderella Castle, or throwing your hands in the air as you coast around the side of Big Thunder Mountain, Magic Kingdom can truly feel like “The Most Magical Place on Earth” — just as advertised! But… what about when Magic Kingdom feels less than magical? It seems that this iconic park is hyped up a lot, but first-time visitors (and even seasoned visitors) can leave feeling rather disappointed sometimes.
