food IS a theme park
Here at Disney Food Blog, we’ve done a LOT of eating in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle in its 50th Anniversary decor!
We’ve reviewed basically every single restaurant in Disney World, eaten countless seasonal snacks, and shared years’ worth of tips with you. Now, we’re bringing you some of our absolute best pieces of advice. Let’s dive into our TOP 50 Disney dining tips!
Although most things in Disney World have returned or reopened, there are still a few spots that remain closed.
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Soon, though, we’ll see popular entertainment return to the parks (we’re looking at you Fantamic! and Festival of Fantasy Parade!), and there are a few restaurants we get to visit for their reopenings in the coming weeks! Disney recently announced the reopening dates for several restaurants including the fan-favorite Jiko at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Are you looking for a place to relax in Disney World? Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has your back, literally.

While spa services have reopened in some Disney resorts, others have been closed for some time. Now we have a date for the opening of the Grand Floridian Spa, and it sounds like it might be time to schedule a massage!

The new Star Wars hotel is set to make its very first voyage on March 1st, 2022 and we’ve been getting a ton of details about the one-of-a-kind experience leading up to its big debut. We’ve brought you everything from what the cabins will look like, to what you’ll be eating (including BLUE SHRIMP), what you’ll be able to do, and who you’ll be able to see (or even become!) on the 2-night “immersive adventure.” And, while Disney has been consistently giving us more sneak peeks, one thing that hasn’t stayed consistent is the reservation calendar, which is making some guests wonder — are people opting to cancel their reservations already? Let’s take a look at what we’re seeing.
Disney Genie is a new service offered to Disney World guests, and it has both free and paid options.

With Genie+, guests can “skip the line” just like we did in the past with FastPass+ — except now, it costs money. And as we’re experiencing the first super busy season with Genie+, we’ve noticed a trend we think you should be aware of before visiting and before purchasing Genie+.

Since the debut of the Disney Genie in Disney World, we’ve been experimenting with all the free AND paid features of this new service.

We want to figure out everything there is to know about the Genie service and answer ALL the questions, and a big topic of interest is how multiple guests work with Genie+. Here’s our experience!
