food IS a theme park
Walt Disney World offers a litany of dining options across the property’s theme parks, resort hotels, and the Disney Springs shopping district. While the wide variety of options is welcome, it can sometimes be overwhelming for first-time visitors.
Fancy
For example, if one wanted to have a “fancy” meal in a relatively upscale setting at Walt Disney World without breaking the bank at one of the resort’s (comparatively) priciest restaurants? Well, luckily, that’s where we come in!
Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe has been open for almost a year, but the new theme park still manages to wow us. Perhaps one of our favorite portals in Epic Universe has been Dark Universe because we love the dark and old-school Universal monsters theming.
The Burning Blade Tavern
That means we’ll pay a visit to Burning Blade Tavern (which lives up to its name) every chance we get for a drink, and maybe a bite to eat. However, if you pop into Burning Blade Tavern soon, you may be able to get your hands on a new souvenir there.
The summer of 2026 is shaping up to be a BIG one at Disney World. While most of the resort’s major projects — like Piston Peak, Villains Land, Monsters, Inc. Monstropolis land, and Tropical Americas are still under construction, there’s still some game-changing stuff coming.
It’s EPIC
From the debut of a new(ish) E-Ticket attraction and the long-awaited reopening of two Magic Kingdom favorites to the return of the popular Cool KIDS’ SUMMER promotion from last year, which returns on May 26th and extends through September 8th.
If you’re shopping for a great AND cost-effective new Disney-themed souvenir, we’ve found just the thing!
We love Loungeflys!
Amazon is often a great outlet for buying Loungefly souvenirs…but it’s even better when the Loungeflys are MASSIVELY discounted! While we were doing our own bit of shopping, we came across a few Loungeflys that are nearly 50% off or more!
The Coca-Cola Rooftop Beverage Bar at Disney Springs just released some new drinks, and we had to try them! The bar is known for its fun mocktails and cocktails using both classic Coca-Cola flavors and exotic flavors from around the world.
Coca-Cola Bar Flight
The Coca-Cola Bar just released a Combo Tray with 14 drinks and eight ice cream floats. You can get both together for $27, or you can get them individually. We were surprised that these had some current and returning flavors from Club Cool at EPCOT! Here’s our full review.
There are so many reasons why being a Disney Visa Cardholder is the best! The biggest one is that you can earn points on purchases, which you can then use to pay for Disney merchandise, trips, and more! You can also access special photo-op spots at the different parks. On top of all that, there will be exclusive limited-time perks every once in a while — which is why we have you here!
Disney Visa Card
If you’ve ever wanted to stay at Disney’s Aulani Resort in Hawaii, now might be the best time! Disney’s Aulani Resort is having a spring offer exclusively for Disney Visa Cardmembers — let’s take a look at the details.
Disney Springs is home to NUMEROUS of our favorite dining spots in all of Disney World, and The Polite Pig is normally one of them.
Time for a feast!
We’ll admit that when we’re in the mood for barbecue, this is often one of the very first spots we think of, but sometimes it doesn’t always impress us. We’ve had a few items here that have fallen flat, but what about one of the BIGGEST offerings they have, the Butcher Board? We tried it out recently to tell you about it in FULL detail so you can know if it’s worth a stop on your next trip!
Believe it or not, when we head into Disney Springs, sometimes we have a hard time figuring out where we’d like to eat.
Big Roman Pizza!
There are just so many options! However, if you’re like me, sometimes you want something that’s going to appease a picky palate, be a great deal, and you’ll want to head over to Pizza Ponte. This spot goes unnoticed by SO many, and it’s time to change that, because you can pay only $8 for a truly MASSIVE slice of pizza, and we’re pretty obsessed with that.
It’s no secret that we LOVE a good Walt Disney World snack, especially at Disney Springs. Recently, we to a sojourn to the park’s Italy Pavilion to sample a brand new sweet treat: A literal (in name) Love Potion.
The Love Potion
Was this snack good enough to have us fall under its spell, or did we leave proclaiming “Love Stinks!”? Let’s find out…
Let’s face it — going to Disney World isn’t exactly easy these days. Between the crowds, the walking, the weather (sweltering heat, sudden thunderstorms, and even unexpected cold), and the need to be on your phone for Lightning Lanes & the My Disney Experience app — we can all probably use a bit of help when it comes to staying comfortable.
EPCOT
We aren’t spring chickens anymore, after all, so we asked those in their fifties on our team to share their Disney World essentials — and this is what they said!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
