Menu changes have hit Disney World restaurants left and right recently.

We’ve seen updates at Jaleo, the removal of 50th Anniversary snacks in quite a few locations, and more. But now another menu update has hit a popular Disney World spot.

Earlier this year, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that there would be 7,000 job cuts from Disney, and since that time we’ve seen some executives step down while others have been laid off. Now, we’ve got an update on one controversial executive within Disney who will be leaving.
If you’re planning a Disney World trip, you need to be ready for the unexpected!
Magic Kingdom
Things like bad weather, illness, or random ride closures can impact your trip in unexpected ways. But one of the most surprising things that can happen to guests in the parks is a ride evacuation — and today we spotted one in progress in Disney World!
With the end of the 50th Anniversary on March 31st, Disney has been slowly phasing out some snacks that were initially introduced to celebrate that occasion. We’ve seen some snacks disappear altogether, while others are “replaced” by very similar offerings (generally the exact same snack without special 50th decorations).
Let’s celebrate!
We recently saw that one of our favorite 50th treats has gone MISSING in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but there’s now a new treat on the menu to take its place. Come with us to find out whether this dinosaur-themed delight is as good as the treat we’ve lost. [Read more…]
If you are looking for the least expensive accommodations at Walt Disney World, Disney World’s Value Resorts will help you stick to your budget. But how do you choose between two popular resorts? Today, we’ll take a look at Disney’s All-Star Music and Disney’s All-Star Sports hotels.

Both resorts offer unique themes and while they have many of the same amenities, there are also some differences that you should know about.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is celebrating Earth Day with some new treats!

Animal Kingdom will also be celebrating its 25th Anniversary on Earth Day this year. So basically, it’s an exciting time to visit this wild park. We recently tried a limited-time snack here that was covered in bees (in a good way) and now, we’re back to try another snack!
The new Board of Supervisors for Disney’s Reedy Creek Impdesarovement District (now called the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District) is not wasting any time.

The new Board of the modified District has been appointed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and has already discussed potential changes that could come to the District. Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro, previously noted “If that new board understands the value that gets created here and how it positively impacts the Central Florida community, I think they will be aligned with our vision and will carry on the Reedy Creek soul that’s been in place.” But it seems the new Board may be more focused on fighting Disney and some key agreements made recently.
Okay, so when it comes to eating Mexican food in Disney World, we all pretty much go to the Mexico Pavilion in EPCOT, right?
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
Not only can we find some of the BEST margaritas on property there, but we can also find good Mexican food with a great view or even cheaper Mexican food that’s sure to satisfy. But the best Mexican food in Disney World may NOT be here. In fact, it may not be in the parks at all!
The Walt Disney Company is celebrating its 100th Anniversary in some special ways.
100th Anniversary Popcorn Box
We’ve already seen lots of merchandise released online and in the parks, some 100th Anniversary popcorn holders and buckets at Disney World, and tons of 100th decor and more out at Disneyland. For the most part, the celebration has been mainly celebrated at Disneyland Resort, but EPCOT is set to become the “host” of the celebration later this year in Disney World. So what can we expect when it comes to the 100th Anniversary celebrations in Disney World? Well, we just found out!
UPDATE: This Annual Passholder popcorn bucket has been extended and is now available until May 31st, 2023!
We’re nearing the end of March, which means that there are quite a few things happening in Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
For starters, we’re in the middle of Spring Break season, with crowds flooding the parks during their vacation weeks. On top of that, EPCOT and Magic Kingdom are about to change fireworks shows, TRON Lightcycle / Run is opening officially soon, and the 50th Anniversary celebrations finally come to a close at the end of the month. But there’s one thing you need to know about the last few days of March if you’re an Annual Passholder!
