food IS a theme park
Happy Super Bowl Sunday, everyone!
Cinderella Castle
Although it was a little stormy last night, we had gorgeous blue skies at Disney World today! So come along with us for a beautiful day at Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT!
When it comes to Disney World rides, not all seats are created equal.
Big Thunder Mountain
The attraction vehicles are designed to give guests a good experience from any seat. That doesn’t mean that every seat is the best seat. Some seats offer a better view and others offer a smoother ride. You might notice that the back row of Pirates of the Caribbean is cozier and feels a bit more private than the crowded middle seat! And, thrill-seekers love to sit in the front row of Space Mountain to get the total illusion of bolting through space. It takes a few rides on each attraction before you can determine which seat has the coolest experience. Most of the time, you only have one chance to ride Seven Dwarf’s Mine Train during your vacation so you gotta make it count! To help you out, we’re breaking down the BEST and WORST places to be seated at each attraction in the Magic Kingdom!
Some Disney World attractions have had a rough start to the new year.
Magic Kingdom
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster closed unexpectedly for the first few days of 2021, and Frozen Ever After was unavailable all day yesterday. Now, a popular Magic Kingdom attraction has been closed all day as well!
Are you planning to visit Disney World in January?
Walt Disney World Gateway
There are certainly plenty of things to do in Disney World at all times of the year. However, we’ve put together a little list of the BEST things to do in January!
It’s one of the absolute CRAZIEST times of the year at Walt Disney World…the bustling week between Christmas and New Year’s!
Even though Disney World is still operating under limited capacity, there’s a certain undeniable buzz in the air during this time of year, and you really have to SEE it to feel it. And if you aren’t there yourself, well, don’t sweat it. Take a journey with us from our photos and videos from Walt Disney World on December 29th!
This week tends to be one of Disney World busiest.
Crowds in Disney’s Animal Kingdom
With many people off work for the holidays and Christmas celebrations wrapped up, it’s the perfect week to take a vacation — except for the fact that lots of other people think so too! We saw BIG crowds over the weekend, and those haven’t stopped yet, with incredibly long lines for attractions and booked-up Disney Park Passes. We stopped by the parks today to see what things are like, and we encountered some ridiculously long lines for Disney rides!
While lots of things have reopened or begun being offered again at Disney World, fireworks are still temporarily suspended, and boy do we miss belting out the Happily Ever After song and tearing up as those fireworks light up the sky above us.
Cinderella Castle
And while fireworks have returned in a small way at Magic Kingdom as part of the holiday Castle projection show, some Disney guests recently got the chance to see even MORE fireworks during a test that was done near Magic Kingdom, and we’re sharing a peek at those fantastic fireworks with you!
We’re totally #adults here at Disney Food Blog, but that doesn’t mean we’ll say no to a Happy Meal!
Goofy Toy
We especially can’t resist a good Happy Meal when it’s loaded with Disney toys! In honor of Mickey and Minnie’s 92nd birthday, McDonald’s teamed up with Disney to release some super sweet toys. We got our hands on the cutie pie Happy Meals last week. We’re back to tell you all about the awesome sweepstakes you can enter when you buy one for yourself!
UPDATE: Select locations have received new, corrected Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Happy Meal toys.
UPDATE: The Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Happy Meal toys have been recalled at this time.
If you’re like us, you remember the joy of collecting EPIC Disney dolls and toys from McDonald’s as a kid! Well, thankfully that fun doesn’t have to end.
McDonald’s
Recently, we’ve seen McDonald’s release some cool Pixar keychains, as well as some interesting (potentially terrifying) Marvel toys. But now, whether you’re stopping by the new solar powered McDonald’s on Disney property or just the McDonald’s that’s closest to you, you can pick up some AMAZING Happy Meal Toys themed to Disney attractions!
Disneyland has been closed for almost eight months now and it may remain closed for a while.
Disneyland Gate
Still, that doesn’t mean that it’s a total ghost town behind the gate. With no guests in the park, crews can work on a bunch of different construction projects without having to keep out of guest areas — and work they are.
