4 Cringey Things That Make Me Rethink Walking into Magic Kingdom Restaurants Ever Again

By 1 Comment

Magic Kingdom is known for many things — a magical atmosphere, the iconic Cinderella Castle, nostalgic attractions, and so much more.

Magic Kingdom

However, it’s also unfortunately known for being the weakest park when it comes to dining options around the resort. You’ll find decent food here, but nothing that will really blow your socks off (with the exception of Skipper Canteen, we love you Skipper Canteen!), and you often may find yourself underwhelmed with the different restaurants. We’ve gotta be honest though, there are a few things that make us cringe so bad we seriously think about turning around and choosing to eat at a different park entirely.

Cinderella Castle

EPCOT just underwent a major transformation, ending with the grand opening of CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza. The project took years and left EPCOT looking more like WALLCOT.

REVIEW: We’re Trying NEW Menu Items at The Plaza Restaurant in Magic Kingdom

By 2 Comments

When it comes to dining in Magic Kingdom, things are…complicated.

Welcome to Disney World!

But one spot that tends to be a pretty good crowd-pleaser has recently added some new menu items, and I stopped by to try them out!
