food IS a theme park
We can’t always get to our happy place, and by happy place, we mean Disney World!
Here’s a Disney duck to make you smile!
We do our best to make you feel like you’re right there with us, eating ALL the food, reporting on upcoming rides, and telling you amusing anecdotes about something we saw in the parks. We also take a LOT of videos, so if you’re needing a smile today, we hope these do the trick!
Do you dream about eating in Disney World restaurants when you’re not there? Because we do!
Happy Cone
We certainly have some of our favorite foods in those restaurants, that’s for sure. That Canadian Cheese Soup at Le Cellier, pretty much EVERYTHING at Steakhouse 71, that Fried Herb and Garlic Cheese at 50s Prime Time Cafe. That’s why we keep a close eye on Disney World menus, so we can let you know if those menus change! So let’s look at this week’s updates.
Disneyland Resort may be smaller than Disney World, but we have TONS of news from the west coast!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
We tried a breakfast corn dog and a cupcake inspired by a castle, and you wouldn’t BELIEVE the amount of Haunted Mansion items we’ve found! See it all right here.
Between the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party coming up soon, and the continued 50th Anniversary Celebrations — now is an excellent time to plan a visit to Disney World!
50th Anniversary Cinderella Castle
But, things are constantly changing around the parks and beyond and it’s important to stay in the know when it comes to current construction projects happening in Disney World. Luckily, we’ve rounded up the biggest Disney World construction updates from this week so you’re prepared on your next visit!
A very special Disney tour is finally returning!
It’s back!
Disney offers many types of VIP tours throughout their parks. Some of them returned in late 2021 and others returned earlier this year. And now, another popular tour is finally returning — The Walt Disney Studios Official Tour!
GAWRSH! One of our favorite Disney Dads is about to receive the spotlight.
Goofy
Thanks to various treats, merchandise, and Disney+ shows, we’ve seen some underappreciated (in our humble opinion) characters get some well-deserved attention. And now, thanks to Harveys, we’re about to get an entire collection that’s inspired by one of the goofiest characters ever. Yes — GOOFY!
As much as we love classic Disney World eats (like pineapple DOLE Whip!), we also love trying new things!
Classic DOLE Whip
July was a BUSY month in Disney World, from the return of Flavors of Florida and the 2022 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival to new July flavors and some interesting menu additions. There were some BIG hits and some eats that missed the mark, so let’s go over the BEST and the WORST of July!
The cruise line industry has certainly been put through the wringer since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Disney Wish docked at Castaway Cay
Carriers have had to completely transform their operating procedures to follow international health and safety guidelines, including requiring passengers to be vaccinated, test negative for the virus before boarding, or both. With a few major cruise lines out there, you might be wondering which one has COVID policies that work for you. We’ve done the heavy lifting and are bringing you an overview of the COVID-19 policies for each major cruise line!
Did you know you can get a haircut in Magic Kingdom?
Harmony Barber Shop
Harmony Barber Shop is a barber shop on Main Street, U.S.A. in the Magic Kingdom! It closed back in 2020 with the rest of the park, and while we’ve seen a lot of experiences return to Disney World like Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue dining, character dining, and traditional character meet and greets, this Magic Kingdom staple has stayed closed until now!
Thinking about planning a summer trip to Disney World?
EPCOT
We don’t blame you! Between the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, continued 50th Anniversary Celebrations, and even the debut of MagicBand+ in the parks, now is an exciting time to head out on your vacation. But, Disney World can be expensive, and if you want to avoid paying full price on your trip stay tuned because we’re sharing all the ways to save on your Disney World trip in August!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
