food IS a theme park
We see menu changes happen in Disney World practically every week, and while some of them we’re huge fans of, we’ll also admit that there are others that make us a little sad.
New eats!
Just recently, we headed over to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to check out one of our favorite spots, Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, to try their new menu offerings. However, we’ve gotta admit that they weren’t exactly what we were expecting, and if we’re being honest, some of them we wouldn’t get again.
For the first time in what feels like forever, Disney didn’t have any major closures or massive changes happen in the past week, and there aren’t a number of them lined up for this week either!
A closure is hitting Disney Springs this week!
Now, three out of the four parks are still majorly under construction, meaning there are walls practically everywhere, and this week, one store is closing in Disney Springs, but it feels like we’re officially towards reopenings versus closures, which is a HUGE achievement.
When you’re in Disney Springs, you’re likely feeling a little overwhelmed by all the different options to explore, especially if you’re looking for a dessert!
Time for more sweet treats!
We love so many options inside the shopping and dining district, but if there’s one spot that never lets us down, especially during the warmer seasons, it’s Swirls on the Water. We recently headed over to try some of their new menu offerings to see if they hold up to prior versions, and let’s just say we have nothing but compliments.

BIG news for not only McDonald’s fans, but also those out there who still can’t get enough of the KPop Demon Hunters film, and have still been listening to the soundtrack nonstop (fun fact: it’s us).

Previously, McDonald’s has had adult Happy Meals for limited times, and now, they’re bringing it back. This time, there are TWO adult Happy Meals, and both of them are themed to none other than KPop Demon Hunters!
Look, not every EPCOT restaurant reservation is a crown jewel. Some are total slam dunks. Some are hidden gems. And some? Some are the dining equivalent of a really pretty ex. Gorgeous on paper, wildly tempting in the moment, and then you’re sitting there later wondering why you ignored every red flag your group chat tried to warn you about.
EPCOT
Because here’s the thing: Disney pros do not book restaurants the same way first-timers do. The experts are thinking about value, convenience, atmosphere, how much effort it takes to pull the meal off, and whether the food actually lives up to the hype. We’re not just booking based on vibes and a pretty sign in World Showcase. We’re booking strategically. Like hungry little chess masters in Minnie ears.
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
EPCOT’s Spaceship Earth
Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable. Sure, we can look at past data to get an estimate of the crowd levels in Disney World, but you never know what may happen from year to year.
You’ve likely heard about how wonderful, yet expensive, The Cake Bake Shop at Disney’s BoardWalk is, but we can say that after dining in both the restaurant and visiting the bakery multiple times, in most cases, we find the higher price to be worth the experience.
We’ve found THE BEST chicken tenders on Disney World property!
While we’re usually pretty ecstatic when we hear about a new menu item at the location, words can’t express how curious and thrilled we were to hear that the restaurant just added chicken tenders to its menu! We grabbed a reservation ASAP to try them out, and let’s just say, these might be the BEST chicken tenders in the entirety of Disney World.
Disney World is going through a LOT of changes in 2026.
Disney’s Saratoga Springs
We have rides under refurbishment and construction walls up left and right. Disney World hotels are immune to these changes, either. A few Disney resorts will see changes in April, and here’s how it could impact you.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
