food IS a theme park
Shout out from the West Coast, y’all!
Festival of Holidays
We’re over here at Disneyland Resort, enjoying the Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays, buying up holiday merchandise, and eating ALL the holiday snacks. But what else is going on here? Well, let’s find out!
The holidays have exploded in Disney World — the decorations up in the parks, at the hotels, and in Disney Springs!
The Grand Flo Christmas tree is here!
But the most important part of the holiday season (if you ask us) is the FOOD and we’ve been eating our share of it, from everything at the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays to all the other festive snacks we’re finding around the resort. Now, we’re headed over to the Gasparilla Island Grill at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa for two NEW snacks.
We have to admit that Disney has been pretty inventive in naming some of its snacks for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
Oga’s Cantina Disneyland
We’ve had everything from Five-Blossom Bread to Cold Brew Black Caf to Endorian Fried Chicken Tip-Yip, and we’re constantly excited to see what kind of space snack Disney comes up with next. Now, we’re getting a NEW snack with a fun name: Spiced Wroshyr Pods.
Welcome back to the west coast!
Pixar Pier at night
There is a LOT of news coming out of Disneyland and Disney California Adventure right now. The updated ToonTown got an opening date, Magic Key Passes sold out (again), and you can now meet Baby Yoda and The Mandalorian in Galaxy’s Edge. All the big news doesn’t stop Disney from releasing more snacks, though, so come with us to try a meal over in Disney California Adventure!
What if we told you there was a Disney restaurant located inside a cavern on a Mysterious Island?

There is — and it’s just as awesome as it sounds. Over at Tokyo DisneySea, Vulcania Restaurant serves as the “geothermal power station” for Captain Nemo’s scientific base, and it also serves up some pretty delicious grub. Come with us to check it out!
We all know the feeling — you need help from a company and have to sit on hold anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours.

A lot of those calls recently may have had to do with airline travel. Flights are super expensive right now, and over the summer, there were lots of cancellations that left some passengers stranded. If you’re used to calling customer service when something goes wrong, that option will no longer be available from one airline.
Okay, Star Wars fans, we’re back!
Welcome to Galaxy’s Edge
Recently we’ve seen a new Loungefly bag drop online, as well as tons of Life Day merchandise released. There’s also a discount for the Star Wars hotel (which has never happened before) happening right now, but if you haven’t spent all your money yet, you’ll want to see these two ears we spotted in the parks today!
Well, it has been an eventful week in Disney news, that’s for sure, but let’s talk about FOOD.
Cinderella’s Royal Table
After all, that’s what we’re here for. So while we’re eating our way around the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, as well as trying out all the OTHER holiday snacks in Disney World, we’re also looking at Disney World restaurant menus to see what’s changed. So let’s look at this week’s updates.
Black Friday has come and gone, and that means it’s time for Cyber Monday!
Emporium in Magic Kingdom
We saw a lot of great Black Friday deals from Disney, and Cyber Monday deals are already starting to pop up. But how much can Disney REALLY help you save this Cyber Monday? Let’s check it out!
The first words that visitors to Disney World’s main EPCOT web page read are “Celebrate the Stories That Connect People and Cultures Around the World.” The second sentence? “Festival Fun Awaits You Today.”

While the main park icon at EPCOT is Spaceship Earth (aka the EPCOT “ball”), it could just as well be a festival booth. The ubiquitous booths that serve small plates and drinks during four festivals that cover the majority of days each year are a fun addition for most park goers — but they’re also the secret weapon Disney World is using to fill the park with returning visitors.
