food IS a theme park
We finally have good news about construction at Disney World — one construction project has officially been completed.
Port Orleans — French Quarter
Over at Disney’s Port Orleans — French Quarter, the lobby was going under refurbishment, and we’re loving the new updates.
We know Disney World was essentially made for families, but that doesn’t mean you have to be around kids during your entire vacation.
Coronado Springs
While a child-free Disney World trip seems like an oxymoron, it definitely happens more than you think. Disney Adults flock to the most popular theme park resort in the world from far and wide. Vacations, honeymoons, anniversaries, and more reasons compel plenty of adults to consider stays at Disney World. If you fall into this category and want to know some of the best hotels that cater more to adults, you’ve certainly come to the right place!
Now that we’ve kicked off the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival and seen the opening of The Beak and Barrel in Magic Kingdom, we can take a little bit of a breather…
Vegetable Wrap
Just kidding! We never take a break from Disney food (and why would we want to?). So this week, we took the opportunity to revisit one of our favorite underrated Disney World hotel restaurants, as well as checked out a new EPCOT Food and Wine Festival breakfast buffet offering. PLUS Disney World restaurants were busy getting changed this week, and we always have to keep you updated on that. So let’s get to those updates.
There are over 20 Disney World resorts you can book right now (with another one set to open in 2027). That’s a lot of options — and a lot of decision stress. So… where should you stay on your next trip? Which hotels are actually worth the splurge, and which are just coasting on the Disney name?

We’ve done the homework (and the hotel hopping) so you don’t have to. We’re ranking every single Disney World hotel from worst to best, giving you the real pros, cons, and “is it worth it?” breakdown for each one.
Okay, so this is the season of closures in Disney World, thanks to all the planned construction around the parks with new lands, expansions, rides, and more on the way (so much new stuff is being planned, y’all).
Disney’s Port Orleans — Riverside
However, sometimes unplanned closures can throw a wrench in your day, and that’s something we’ve been informed about that’s happening at Disney’s Port Orleans Resorts. The bridge that connects Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter to Disney’s Port Orleans — Riverside is currently closed due to unplanned construction work.
Well, it has CERTAINLY been a big week for Disney World news, right?
Pinocchio Cookie Tart
We finally got LOADS of new details about the Cars expansion coming to Frontierland, including that it will be called Piston Peak, and that it will introduce some new characters into the Cars universe (now if only Disney would drop some hints about what kind of FOOD this expansion will have — we have questions!). Anyway, speaking of food, we’ve been monitoring menu changes at Disney World restaurants all week, so let’s take a look at what’s been updated.
Wow…what a week in Disney World. We just got the news that the seasonal foodie celebration, Flavors of Florida, will start soon, and we’re readying our tastebuds for that.
Kakamora Delight
However, we’ve also been munching on some Stitch-themed treats to celebrate the release of the live-action Lilo & Stitch movie, while enjoying a new snack in EPCOT that’s served in a coconut shell (because why not?). In the meantime, we’ve been looking over Disney World restaurant menus, so we can keep you updated on how restaurants are changing. So let’s see what’s changed this week!
Memorial Day weekend means summer has arrived in Disney World, and we are so ready for it (okay, maybe we’re not so ready for all the heat and humidity).
Breakfast at Trattoria al Forno
There’s so much to look forward to this summer. TWO new shows are set to debut soon in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, while a new parade will soon make its premiere in Magic Kingdom. Now, summer is generally kinda’ a slow time when it comes to food, but that doesn’t mean that Disney World restaurants aren’t still changing up their menus. So, yes, Disney World restaurant menus changed this week, so let’s take a look at what’s been updated.
It’s been another great week in Disney World.
Pimento Cheese Fritters from River Roost
We got to see the Disney Dreamers Academy parade (which only happens once a year). We drank a VERY cool cocktail at The Polite Pig in Disney Springs. We even learned about some new character experiences coming to Disney World. However, we also kept an eye on Disney World restaurant menus, and yep, we’ve got some changes and updates to tell you about this week.
First off, there seems to be something going on with peel-and-eat shrimp! We have seen it removed from 3 menus in March — at Sebastian’s Bistro, Garden Grill, and last week at Akershus. This could be a supply chain or food cost issue, or maybe it is losing popularity? We’re not sure, but read on for more recent menu changes!
There is so much to see and do in Disney World!
Port Orleans French Quarter
From the new lands coming to the parks to saying goodbye to one of our favorite rides, there is always something new going on. One thing that remains the same though is the snacks we love! Luckily for us, one of the cheapest snacks at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort is a favorite of ours!
