food IS a theme park
The game is ON at EPCOT.
EPCOT
Fall is one of our favorite times of the year at EPCOT, thanks to all the special events associated with the International Food & Wine Festival Festival. One of our favorites in 2024? Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit.
Listen, Disney Adults (including me) know what we want when we go to Disney World.
Animal Kingdom
That’s true just about anything. For example, we know the best spot for our favorite Disney World noms, where we’re going to lay our heads down at night, and what ride we want to get on and when we want to get on it. Speaking of rides, there’s this one ride at Animal Kingdom, Kilimanjaro Safaris, and you won’t catch us in any other row than this one and we’ll keep asking for it. Let’s talk about it!
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World’s stabilized this week after shooting up last week… with ONE major exception. TRON Lightcycle / Run continues to dominate the resort’s wait times since the standby line was introduced to the attraction. This week, the ride’s wait time was over 80 minutes, cleaning the rest of the resort’s rides by over 10 minutes.
While there are so many great food options to choose from around Disney’s Animal Kingdom, sometimes you’re just not looking to stop for a full meal. So, where’s the best-kept secret to pop by when you’re just looking to snack? We’re glad you asked!
That was a hit!
Before you go sprinting off to play midway games for prizes on the brink of extinction, hitting up the latest version of dole whip floats or Creature Comforts, and rope-dropping lounges, there’s one little place we’d love to shed some light on as you get a start to or wind down your day. However, the real secret to this small snack spot is timing your visit just right!
In case you didn’t know, you’ve really got a ton of options when it comes to dining at Disney World!
Aunt Polly’s
To be sure you’ve got your standard theme park fare, but you can also find a wide variety of food — from All-American classics to tastes from the Caribbean and Asia and even more. Now, if you’re in Magic Kingdom, there’s this one spot you might not even know existed and it’s about it shut down permanently, so you know we’ve got to tell you all about it!
As you make your way around the park at Disney’s Hollywood Studios you’ve probably noticed a gigantic dinosaur hanging around Echo Lake. Yeah, she’s kinda hard to miss (especially when she’s dressed in a festive ‘fit). But, what most folks don’t realize is Dinosaur Gertie is more than just a lovely photo op — she’s also a treasure trove of treats!
Who’s ready for ice cream?!
While visiting the park on a sunny day, we desperately needed an ice-cold treat and knew JUST where to turn to satisfy our craving!
Late last year, Disney opened one of their biggest hotel additions in YEARS: The Island Tower at the Polynesian Village Resort.

Today we’re bringing you a peek inside many of the rooms available!
If you’re heading to Disney World soon, we’ve gotta have a chat!
Walking down Main Street
If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, you’re probably dreaming of all the magical moments you’ll have, Mickey-shaped treats, and riding the classics like Space Mountain. And while Disney World is absolutely the place where dreams come true, there are some brutal truths about the “Most Magical Place on Earth” that you’re probably not ready to hear, but trust us, you’ll be better for it!
I just realized that I’ve been a Disney World Annual Passholder for about a decade now!
Annual Pass
Let me tell you, for the most part, these past 10 years have been an absolute dream. There’s nothing quite like the magic of being able to hop over to Magic Kingdom on a random Wednesday afternoon or grabbing a quick bite from the Japan Pavilion in EPCOT after work. But even though the decade has been magical, there’s this one Disney World rule that drives me absolutely crazy, so let’s talk about it!
Prices are going up at one of Disney World’s busiest restaurants.
Earl of Sandwich in Disney Springs
Earl of Sandwich has been a staple of Walt Disney World for 20 years. In fact, the restaurant — which opened at Disney Springs (then known as Downtown Disney) in 2004 — was the first of the chain, which has since grown to over 35 locations around the world. Recently, we noticed some massive changes to the shop’s menu that might leave some long-term fans unhappy.
