food IS a theme park
It’s no secret that the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival offers some of the most delectable eats and drinks around Disney World.
It’s time for the 2022 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival!
Not only that, but you can also catch world-class entertainment at the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, and check out the exclusive festival merchandise too! If you’re heading to the Food & Wine Festival and want something to commemorate your visit, you’re in luck because Disney has cooked up some special festival mementos!
You can get really busy with rides, food, shopping, and entertainment when you’re in Disney World, but you shouldn’t miss out on meeting characters while you’re in the parks!
Hi, friends!
Character meet and greets have been back in a modified way for a while, and soon, they’ll be going back to how they were before the shutdowns in 2020. This means you’ll be able to hug Mickey again and get autographs from Pluto! You’ll also be able to stand next to characters for photos, so you’ll probably want to grab some good pics, and we’re here to help you out when it comes to planning!
When you’re taking pictures in Disney World, you want to look your best, right? Well, between the rush back and forth across the parks and Florida’s uncooperative weather, we often end up with some less-than-flattering photos. (Seriously, why didn’t anyone warn us that our hair was THAT frizzy from the humidity?!) And don’t even get us started with the results when dad is in charge of the camera…let’s just say that you can probably expect a finger or two to block the lens.
Howdy, partner!
If you’re tired of rushed, unfortunate-looking photos, Disney has a solution that you might not have known about!
BLUE shrimp and a REAL lightsaber!? You’re going to want to be sure you have photo proof of it all when you stay at Disney World’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser! After all, you are paying $6,000 to be there — that earns you at least some bragging rights.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
The new Disney “hotel” functions a lot more like a Disney cruise as opposed to a Disney Resort, as the cost includes a 2-night stay in a cabin or suite, most food and drink onboard, admission to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, valet parking, and a MagicBand, there are quite a few additional things that you can add onto your trip for an extra cost. This includes things like dining at the exclusive Captain’s Table, building your own droid or lightsaber when visiting Galaxy’s Edge, or a visit to Oga’s Cantina. And, now Disney has introduced ANOTHER add-on experience!
If you’re in Disney World right now for the holiday season, you might think that the parks have skipped Thanksgiving entirely and moved straight on to Christmas.
The Holidays have arrived in Hollywood!
But if you look closely, you’ll still find some hints of Thanksgiving around! There are some cute treats for the holiday, a little bit of merchandise (OK, so we’ve seen like one pin. But it still counts!), and even full-blown feasts at a few restaurants. And we just spotted a new photo opportunity that’s also here to celebrate Thanksgiving! [Read more…]
Important Update: Disney has updated its mask policy regarding photos. Masks may now be removed temporarily when taking outdoor photos, provided guests are physically distanced from others and stationary. Click here to see how this new policy works.
Wow. We really spent the day back in Magic Kingdom. It’s crazy to think about!
Magic Kingdom
Of course, there is a LOT that’s different in a reopened Magic Kingdom and we took a good look around today at the Cast Member preview (thanks to an invite from some friends!). Even the way you take your picture with Cinderella Castle has changed! Yep, let’s take a look at everything different about snapping that iconic pic and pics in general!
