food IS a theme park
We went to EPCOT for a new drink at La Cava del Tequila, when something new caught our eye!

We just found our favorite new piece of Disney merch hiding in plain sight in the Mexico Pavilion!
Here at Disney Food Blog, Disney World is our job. Which means we basically live there!
Our favorite Disney World essentials!
Here are some of our favorite Disney World essentials that make park days 10x easier. And the best part? They’re up to 40% off, with some of our favorites less than $10! We have a park essential for every budget.
Spring is such a great time to visit Disney World. You get to see all the flowers in bloom and the beautiful topiaries (and eat all the food) at the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival. Special Easter displays are available to see at Disney World hotels, and spring snacks are available almost everywhere.
Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny
However, one of our favorite parts of spring in Disney World is a meet and greet with two VERY rare characters. They’re so rare that you only get to see them for a limited time each year. We’re happy to confirm that Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny are now meeting with guests in Magic Kingdom.
Refurbishments are a fact of life in Walt Disney World. Rides, shows, and attractions are often closed for refreshes, repairs, and technological upgrades, some for longer times than others. In fact, it’s rare to have a day when EVERY attraction at the resort is operational. That’s even true in the busy summer season.
Pete’s Silly Sideshow
The summer of 2026 will not only see a slew of construction across Walt Disney World’s theme parks, but there will be some smaller-scale closures that guests making a trip from June through August should be aware of.
Look, not every EPCOT restaurant reservation is a crown jewel. Some are total slam dunks. Some are hidden gems. And some? Some are the dining equivalent of a really pretty ex. Gorgeous on paper, wildly tempting in the moment, and then you’re sitting there later wondering why you ignored every red flag your group chat tried to warn you about.
EPCOT
Because here’s the thing: Disney pros do not book restaurants the same way first-timers do. The experts are thinking about value, convenience, atmosphere, how much effort it takes to pull the meal off, and whether the food actually lives up to the hype. We’re not just booking based on vibes and a pretty sign in World Showcase. We’re booking strategically. Like hungry little chess masters in Minnie ears.
This Magic Kingdom change will affect your next Disney World trip!
Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade
Beginning April 6th, two of the shows at Magic Kingdom will change time slots!
Disney World hotels are supposed to be the “take a deep breath, kick off your shoes, and inhale the lobby scent” part of the vacation. You know, the oasis. The soft landing. The place where you refill your resort mug, dramatically flop onto the bed, and pretend you’re absolutely not going to mobile order a fourth snack before midnight.

But as our readers reminded us, Disney World Resort hotels can also be the stage for some truly unhinged vacation moments.
Here at Disney Food Blog, Disney World is our job. We’re at Disney all day, every day, sometimes walking up to four or five miles a day. Which means that our feet hurt a lot!
Brooks Ghost 17
We’ve tried almost every pair of sneakers for sale to find the best shoes for Disney, and we’ve finally done it. And the best part? Our favorite shoes are on sale!
We love The Polite Pig at Disney Springs. It’s a quick-service barbecue restaurant with such high-quality meats that it’s earned a Michelin Guide Recommended spot.

So when we saw they had a brand new burger, we had to try it! Spoiler alert: this is the most unique burger we’ve tried at Disney Springs.
There’s a new Disney Visa perk at Walt Disney World! In case you didn’t know, Chase Disney Visa Cardholders get some exclusive perks in the Disney Parks for completely free with their debit or credit card.
