food IS a theme park
KACHOW!
Lightning McQueen Popcorn Bucket
A new popcorn bucket has raced into both Disneyland and Disney World, and y’all, we might be seeing some lightning because this is epic. This popcorn bucket might be one of the most popular of the year, with it already selling out in places!
Want to try some of Disney World’s most iconic foods? There are still a few that have been around since opening day!
Disney World Popcorn
Yep, that’s right, we’re talking about foods that have been around since the opening day of their respective theme park, restaurant, or hotel. These are some serious staples and they’ve become fan favorites over the years. Let’s dig in!
We’re not going to lie…we are SO ready for springtime treats in Disney World. We’re ready to eat everything shaped like bunny butts (no, really, it’s such a THING), eggs, popular rabbit characters, and more.
New popcorn mix alert!
Now, we’ve already tried some spring-worthy snacks at the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, but Magic Kingdom isn’t sleeping on the springtime snacks either. If you head on over to Main Street Confectionery, you might just find one of your new FAVORITE springtime treats.
You know that feeling when you’ve waited in a snack line long enough to develop a tiny, personal feud with a stroller… and then you take the first bite and realize you’ve traded 12 precious park minutes for something you could have bought at a gas station?
Ice Cream!
Yeah. Let’s not do that in 2026.
How are you celebrating National Popcorn Day? If you’re not sure, then you’re in the right place! Cinemark Theaters announced they’re bringing back the wildly popular BYOBucket promotion from last year, nationwide. Mark your calendars for January 18th and 19th!

Back in 2025, Cinemark had its first-ever Bring Your Own Bucket special, where guests could bring in any clean container up to the concession stand to get fresh, hot popcorn or kettle corn for only $5! The fan-favorite is returning for two days this January, and you don’t even need a movie ticket to get the deal.
We hope your taste buds are ready, because a NEW snack stand was just announced for Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
AstroFizz is coming to Magic Kingdom, and we’ve got a first look at the menu!
There are LOTS of construction walls up in Disney World right now! You will find walls up around Pueblo Esperanza in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Piston Peak National Park in Magic Kingdom, the new Monsters, Inc. land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and various other spots where construction is happening in Disney World. There are also some walls up in Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios around what has been rumored to be a new snack stand, and today, we got a FIRST LOOK at this new spot!
Something has “popped” up in Hollywood Studios!
We have been keeping a close eye on this spot, curious about what would pop up. Well, now we have our first look at the new snack stand that has “popped” up over the top of the construction wall! Disney hasn’t officially confirmed that it is a new snack stand yet, but based on what we are seeing, we are pretty confident it will eventually be a snack stand.
Halloween is in full swing over at Disneyland Resort, and we couldn’t be more excited!
Minnie is looking spook-tacular!
Not only is Oogie Boogie Bash happening, but you can also celebrate the holiday by grabbing some of the special snacks around the resort throughout the day. We’ve tried 14 of the snacks around Disneyland, and are here to help you decide if they’re worth your money, or if they’re better to skip!
There’s just something about walking down Main Street, U.S.A., with the smell of popcorn in the air, Cinderella Castle in view, and that background loop music at Magic Kingdom.
Dole Whip
I’ve been going to Disney World for 2 years as my job and even longer personally, and these are the items I will never stop buying at Magic Kingdom. While every visit is a little different, there are a few tried-and-true items I always find myself buying. If you’re anything like me, these might be on your list, too.
Something BIG is happening in Disneyland right now. The park is having its big 70th Anniversary Celebration.
The castle’s birthday decor
The Celebration has brought back the Paint the Night parade (which lights up the California sky), as well as a ton of special merchandise collections AND food and drinks (our favorite part). So Disneyland is on a lot of folks’ minds now, including Disney CEO Bob Iger, who was recently asked how he’d spend an hour in Disneyland.
