food IS a theme park
We are so close to the opening of Roundup Rodeo BBQ! The journey to its debut hasn’t been particularly smooth, though.

The restaurant was originally set to open in 2022, but Disney then made an announcement in the middle of December 2022 that it would be open in spring of 2023. Now, we’ve got an official opening date and a FULL look at the menu, but we’ve also got another piece of critical information you need to know before eating at this restaurant.
We have an official opening date for the highly-anticipated TRON Lightcycle Run!

The brand-new Magic Kingdom attraction will open on April 4th, 2023. If you want to be one of the first to ride, you’re going to need to be prepared — and that means making your plans now!
There are some seriously fancy dining destinations in Disney World.
EPCOT
From Victoria & Albert’s at the Grand Floridian to Monsieur Paul in EPCOT — you can experience fine dining at the Most Magical Place on Earth. One fancy Disney World restaurant reopened recently but was only accepting walk-ins — until now! Takumi-Tei is taking reservations and we’ve got all the details.
There’s simply not enough time in the world to do everything you want to do in Disney World.
Holidays!
When you’re trying to squeeze in dining reservations, rides, Genie+ Lightning Lanes, shopping, and more – there are bound to be slow-downs and time conflicts. But there’s also a BIG problem that can happen very easily and Disney has yet to fix it.
Character dining has returned to many different Disney World restaurants!
Eeyore at Crystal Palace
Members of the Hundred Acre Wood are back at Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom, Lilo and Stitch have returned to breakfast at ‘Ohana, and Minnie and her pals are once again greeting diners at Cape May Cafe in Disney’s Beach Club. The Disney Princess character dining restaurant Akershus Royal Banquet Hall has been closed since 2020 but is finally reopening today!
It’s HAPPENING!
Christmas in Magic Kingdom!
This is not a drill — we all know too well how fast dining reservations can go. Festivals, events, and holidays can bring large crowds to Disney World, which means dining reservations during those times tend to sell out fast. And reservations for one very popular holiday have finally opened, so you’ll need to grab your own ASAP!
We know all too well how fast Disney’s tickets, reservations, and hotel accommodations can sell out.
Cinderella Castle in Disney World
If you blinked, you probably missed your chance to grab a ticket to Oogie Boogie Bash at Disney California Adventure. Want to grab a park pass reservation for a big event? Good luck finding an available park. And the same goes for hotel accommodations — they book up fast on popular dates! So, if you have your heart set on a certain Disney World hotel, here are the dates in 2023 that you need to book right now!
Disney World seems like it has returned to “normal”, but there are still a few things on the way!
EPCOT
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is getting ready to reopen later this week, Victoria & Albert’s recently reopened at Disney’s Grand Floridian, and characters are returning all over Disney World. We’ll even see a few restaurants bring back character dining next month! But did you know that THREE behind-the-scenes tours are coming back to Disney World soon? That’s right y’all — and reservations for the tours are now open!
Are you planning a Disney World trip sometime within the next few years?
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
In case you missed it, 2023 Disney World vacation packages are already available and you can even make 2024 Disney World park reservations. But if you’ve got plans to book your Disney World hotel years before your trip, the way you can book your hotel in advance has changed.
Ever since the reopening of the parks more than two years ago, we’ve slowly seen things return and reopen.
EPCOT’s World Showcase
We’ve had countless restaurant and resort reopenings, and more entertainment options and character hugs came back earlier this year. We’ve also seen the return of many “enchanting extras” like tours and hard-ticketed experiences. Now, three more of these offerings are coming back to EPCOT!
