food IS a theme park
Happy (almost) Easter to all our DFB friends who celebrate it!
Easter is here!
In honor of the special day, we’ve spent a month at Disney World eating a ton of Easter snacks, including things with bunny butts, birds, and more! We’ve even said hello to Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny! Today, though, we got to see the first Easter Parade at Magic Kingdom — and we’re bringing you along with us!
We don’t know about you, but caffeine is basically its own essential food group in our diet. When you’re walking all over the place and waking up at the crack of dawn, a little boost of energy is critical to success in Disney World. If you’re looking for a little coffee in the Disney parks and resorts, there are two main suppliers: Joffrey’s Coffee and Starbucks.
Starbucks Nitro Cold Brew
There are TONS of places to grab a coffee in Disney World. There’s a Starbucks in every Disney park and multiple Joffrey’s locations all over Disney World. Recently, we noticed something interesting going on at one of Disney World’s most popular Starbucks locations, and it might signal a looming closure. Let’s take a look!
UPDATE: Expedition Everest has officially reopened in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! We’ll continue to monitor this attraction and update if it closes again.
What exactly is going on with Expedition Everest?
Expedition Everest
The ride, at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, has been down since January for a lengthy refurbishment. It reopened early for Cast Members a few days ago ahead of its official reopening, which is today. However, Expedition Everest is closed this morning.
You’ve heard of Annual Passes, the Disney Vacation Club, and maybe even things like the Castaway Club, Club 33, and other “exclusive” Disney memberships — but have you heard of the Disney Chase Visa?
Disney VISA
If you’re all about getting EVERYTHING Disney, then you might be thinking to yourself “how do I get this Disney credit card?! And how does it work?” Well, you’re in the right spot! Today we’re breaking down everything you need to know about just how the Disney Chase Visa works!
When it comes to food, Disney World has a ton of options, ESPECIALLY at Disney Springs! There are delicious quick-service spots, LOADS of places to grab sweet snacks (including Everglazed and Gideon’s), and upscale restaurants owned by award-winning chefs. It can be difficult to decide where to go!
The Edison
Some of these restaurants are only open for dinner, but recently Enzo’s Hideaway announced it would be serving lunch. Now, ANOTHER Disney Springs restaurant has shared that it is open for lunch, too! More lunch options? We’re in!
If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, you have a lot to look forward to!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind opened up on May 27th (and it’s SO COOL!), EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival will run through part of November, and there’s plenty of Halloween and holiday fun here or on the way. ALL of Disney World’s hours have already been posted through October 25th, so let’s take a look to help you plan your Disney days!
EPCOT’s newest ride is almost here!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is just weeks away from making its Disney World debut. The ride will open on May 27th, 2022, and we’re already starting to see some previews of what it will look like. We’ve gotten a look at the inside of the queue, the Cast Member costumes, and more! And now, we just learned some HUGE details about the story of the attraction.
WHEW. Do we have some Disney news for YOU! Reopening dates, Genie+ changes, and previews selling out super fast — this week has been full of all that and MORE when it comes to Disney news.
Magic Kingdom
Heading to Disney World soon? Want to make sure you’re prepared before you step into the Most Magical Place on Earth? Or just curious to know what’s been happening in the world of Disney lately? We’ve got the updates you need right here!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is opening up SOON in Disney World — May 27th, to be exact! We’ve been waiting on this ride to open for what feels like soooo long, and the anticipation just keeps building because Disney has been showing us more and more of the ride. We’ve seen various parts of the queue, the entrance area, the loading area, and even the ride vehicles.
We’re getting closer!
We expect it will be VERY busy in EPCOT on opening day (especially because of what Park Pass Reservations are looking like right now!), but we wanted to know if people were planning their trips JUST for the ride. So, we reached out to all of YOU and asked the question, and we got some interesting answers!
Making decisions is hard. Making decisions for your Disney World vacation, which your family may be building up as the “vacation of a lifetime,” can be even harder.
Disney Dining Plan Shirt
What hotel should you stay at? Where should you eat? Should you get Genie+? What parks should you go to? Is Park Hopping worth it? And (when it returns) should you buy the Disney Dining Plan? The Disney Dining Plan is set to return at some point in the future, and when it does you might be debating whether you should buy it or not. We reached out to our fabulous readers via Facebook and Instagram to get their input, and things are…complicated!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
