food IS a theme park
It’s that time of year, when we are looking out for deals on gifts for the holidays!
Target
Target is one of our favorite places to grab gifts for family and friends. Now, it just got a little cheaper to do all your holiday shopping at our favorite red store!
Disney has been recently criticized by fans for its “woke agenda” within the newest movies and shows.

Critics have said Disney has crossed boundaries when it comes to topics in movies and that the company has strayed from its original vision of creating classic and beloved stories. Since his return, CEO Bob Iger has had a few comments on these criticisms including a new statement at the New York Times Dealbook Conference.
Disney has a way of bringing seemingly real magic to our experiences around the parks.
Journey of Water–Inspired by Moana lets you interact with water in ways we didn’t know we could
Through the use of new and innovative technology, Disney can have you waving goodbye to water, soaring through the galaxy, and riding on the back of a banshee on a different planet. All of this is made possible by Disney’s team of Imagineers. These creative geniuses design and create new ways of experiencing parks all the time. Five yet-to-come attraction designs have been patented that, if they were to come to the parks, we would shovel out all our money to experience them!
We have been highly anticipating several new restaurants coming to Disney World!
Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs
One popular snack stand at Downtown Disney in Disneyland is headed to Disney World. But now we just got some sad news about when it will be opening!
World of Disney is a massive “every Disney souvenir you can think of” store in Disney Springs.
World of Disney
It’s the best place to go when you forget to buy something in the parks or you don’t want to use a park ticket to get your favorite Disney souvenir. It’s basically shopDisney in physical form. But it can also be a bit chaotic to browse around in. That’s why this new addition to the store is much appreciated!
Mickey and Minnie are busy baking at the BoardWalk Deli gingerbread display!
Mickey and Minnie are baking for us!
And the real chefs at the BoardWalk Deli are baking up some delectable wintry pastries as well! We stopped by Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Resort to try a sweet treat– the Frosted Croissant Roll.
We are nearing the end of the EPCOT transformation!
EPCOT
Disney announced the EPCOT transformation will be complete in December of this year. The new show, Luminous The Symphony of Us, is set to debut on December 5th and now Disney has just announced that walls are COMING DOWN!
Change is a big part of the Walt Disney Company.
EPCOT Transformation construction
Recently, in a town hall meeting with Disney employees and Cast Members, the Walt Disney CEO and other Disney executives gathered together to discuss the past, present, and future of the Walt Disney Company. Iger set the stage by stating, “Building is a lot more fun than fixing.” And building is just what we can expect from the Disney company going forward.
We visited the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays on opening day and tried nearly every. single. food item at the holiday kitchens.
2023 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
We wandered around EPCOT trying all the new and returning menu items at all the booths. There were some AMAZING new desserts, some awesome returning meals, and unfortunately, some not-so-great items. Out of everything we ate at the festival (which was a lot), there were 15 things we would not recommend buying this year.
World of Frozen recently opened in Hong Kong Disneyland, but Disney has no plans on stopping there.
Arendelle Castle
Back in September, Disney announced its plans to increase its investments in parks, entertainment, and experiences for the next 10 years. That means $60 billion in the next decade compared to $30 billion in the previous. But what does this look like for the Disney parks? Disney’s Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro had some thoughts.
