food IS a theme park
UPDATED October 20, 2025
Are you obsessed with Starbucks?
We LOVE Starbucks!
If you are, you’re probably also obsessed with all the incredible Starbucks merchandise Disney has released. Sure, you could go to Disney World to grab the latest Starbucks gear, but did you know you can get a TON of Disney Starbucks items online?
Need a break from Disney parks but don’t want to spend all day lounging by the pool?
Disney Springs
One of our favorite things to do when we’re not running around testing our top Disney Genie tips and eating our way around EPCOT is hitting up Disney Springs. There are plenty of things to see, do, and EAT in Disney’s shopping and dining district, and we’re back again to bring you a look at what’s NEW in Disney Springs! Let’s see what’s changed since our last visit.
EPCOT is undergoing a BIG transformation right now that includes new rides, restaurants, stores, and more.
There’s a LOT going on over here!
We’ve already seen some of the new stuff open up, like a revamped Club Cool and a new flagship store. Disney announced previously that a new quick service food location would be coming to the park called Connections Cafe & Eatery. We’ve been tracking the progress of the new spot, and were waiting for an official opening date, but we don’t have to wait any longer because it is NOW OPEN! [Read more…]
Do you get as excited about new Disney World food as we do?

Of course, you do! You’re here, aren’t you? Well, although we’re SUPER excited about all the new Mother’s Day snacks coming to Disney World, we’re also looking forward to the grand opening of EPCOT’s NEW spot, Connections Cafe & Eatery — and today, the Cafe is NOW OPEN!
During your visit to Disney World, it’s pretty standard to find yourself in a coffee line or two — whether it be Starbucks or Joffrey’s.
Starbucks Coffee
If you’re a Starbucks fan, there’s a BIG change coming to the coffee giant and it could mean FREE COFFEE for you! You might remember when Starbucks announced its intent to phase out paper and plastic disposable cups, giving every customer the ability to get their order in a personal reusable cup by 2023. Now, it seems that the initiative has started!
Days spent in the Disney World parks can be EXHAUSTING. If you’re anything like us, you may find yourself needing an afternoon pick-me-up. Whether your go-to is a cup of coffee, a soda, or you take the sugar rush approach, there’s tons of effective (and delicious!) ways to get energized.

Today, we spotted a whole new way to give yourself a jolt in Disney World!
EPCOT has been undergoing a LOT of changes lately, like new rides, restaurants, closures, and more.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is opening soon, and we’ve even been seeing some progress on other attractions that are under construction. There have also been some closures, like the recent permanent closure of the EPCOT Experience. And now, another popular spot has shut down in the park.
We have learned a lot about EPCOT‘s new Connections Café and Eatery recently!
Sign’s up!
We now know that the new restaurant will open this spring, and the café will be a Starbucks location as well. Earlier this week, we got a new EPCOT park map that lists Connections Café and Eatery under the dining section. Today we’re learning more about the special nods to Disney’s history that you’ll see inside once this spot opens!
Change — love it or hate it, Disney World is FULL of change these days, and more change is on the way.
Magic Kingdom
There have already been changes when it comes to mask rules and select hotel check-outs. And the future will feature ride changes, hotel changes, and more. This week has been one full of changes — either announcements of changes that have already been made or ones that will soon take place. What changes should you be prepared for? Read on!
EPCOT is undergoing a HUGE transformation that includes new rides, restaurants, neighborhoods, and more.
