food IS a theme park
We’re gearing up for a BIG summer in Disney World!
It’s Cool Kid Summer!
Several rides have been updated and are reopening soon, there’s a new land that just opened in Hollywood Studios, and Cool KIDS’ SUMMER is returning with exciting new entertainment options! Ahead of that happening, we got a sneak peek at two BRAND NEW offerings.
THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
Churro Mickey waffles!
Churro Mickey waffles, one of Disney’s most beloved — and elusive — breakfast foods have finally arrived at another location in Disney World. Of course, we HAD to stop by and try them to bring you the full review, and you guys are going to want to buckle up for this one.
We need to talk about a very specific kind of Disney souvenir: the kind that does not require shelf space, does not get crushed in your suitcase, and will not make TSA pause dramatically while holding up your bag.

We’re talking about Disney audiobooks. Yes, the Disney Adult pipeline eventually comes for all of us. First, you learn how to mobile order before the lunch rush. Then you develop opinions about hotel lobbies. Then one day, you are voluntarily listening to a book about Disney leadership, Imagineering philosophy, or the engineering challenges behind EPCOT while driving to Target.
When it comes to shopping at Disney World, you’ll find some of the absolute best stores in EPCOT’s World Showcase!
France Pavilion
Where else can you find sweets from the United Kingdom, funky chip flavors from China, and perfume from France all in one place?! We could spend hours just perusing through each and every shop, and oftentimes, we do. If you’re like us, then there’s an upcoming EPCOT store closure you need to know about in the France Pavilion.
If you’ve never been to the Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic, you’re missing out. This annual event is held at the Swan and Dolphin resort at Disney World, featuring food and drinks from the resort’s restaurants, plus wine tasting experiences and live entertainment.
Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic
The 2026 Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic will be held on November 20th and 21st from 5 to 9 PM each day. This ticketed event is open to the public — you don’t have to be staying at the resort to join in on the fun. We just got some new details about this year’s lineup!
Mark your calendars for these upcoming merch drops, Disney fans!

From nostalgic Disney Parks clothes to adorable new collectables, Disney shared a sneak peek at four souvenir collections that are dropping online SOON!
Bork bork bork! In case you don’t speak Swedish Chef, that means, “There’s a NEW Swedish Chef food truck at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and we tried EVERYTHING on the menu!”
Full spread!
That’s right, FØØD by Swedish Chef officially opens on May 26th with the newly rethemed Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, and we were lucky enough to snag these eats before the opening. From savory snacks to sweet treats and drinks, is this new spot worth a visit on your next trip to Hollywood Studios? Let’s find out!
On days when we can’t be at the Disney parks, we love finding Disney decor to make our home feel ten times more magical. If you’re also on the hunt to Disney-fy your home this summer, we’ve got you covered!

Planning out your meals for your Disney World trip? We’ve got lots of suggestions!
Yak & Yeti Eats
We’ve dined at every restaurant in Disney World (multiple times at this point), and we have a list of spots that have been historically pretty good. Among that list is Yak & Yeti Restaurant at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. But now, it’s getting more expensive!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
