food IS a theme park
Here at DisneyFoodBlog, you know we love our Disney food — it’s kind of our thing!
Hi Mickey!
When we aren’t able to get to the parks, or if we just want to share some of that delicious Disney Parks food at home with friends, one of our favorite ways to do this is using Disney-inspired recipes and cookbooks! We basically get to pretend to be Chef Mickey from our home (and it didn’t cost us a plane ticket!). Luckily for you, these three Disney cookbooks are on sale on Amazon!
I’ve been staying at Disney hotels for decades, and one thing I learned is that not every Disney hotel is a good fit for every Disney trip.
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
Disney World has over 25 on-site hotels, and they’re all very different. Disney resorts are typically grouped into Value, Moderate, and Deluxe categories. While staying on Disney property has amazing benefits, I’ve learned the hard way that not every Disney hotel is right for every trip. These are the Disney World hotels I regret impulsively booking and what I would book instead.
Magic Kingdom is one of the busiest theme parks in the world, and to keep everything running smoothly, there are rules that every guest must follow while visiting.
Cinderella Castle
While planning your Disney World vacation, you are probably focused on what Lightning Lanes to book and where you will eat. But, there is one thing you should do before packing your bag and heading to the parks, and that is to understand the park rules. We’re here to bring attention to the rules you might be shocked to learn about at Magic Kingdom.
When it comes to Walt Disney World’s busiest – and most popular – attractions, may riders have specific desires: Specific time of day to ride, specific ride vehicles, and even specific seats.
TRON
Whether you are using Lightning Lanes to skip the lines or you’re waiting a while in a standard queue, you’ll want to have the best riding experience possible. There are certain attractions that we think have better seats than the rest of the ride vehicle. But how do you know which ones they are and how do you get these seats? Well, we have a former Cast Member ready to help.
I’ve been staying at Disney hotels for over 30 years, and while there are a lot of perks guests get by staying here, there is one that will keep me booking rooms at Disney hotels in the future.
Pop Century Resort
From immersive theming to complimentary transportation that takes the stress out of getting around, Disney hotels are designed to make vacations easier from the moment you arrive. Early Theme Park Entry, extended evening hours for select resorts, and the ability to stay fully inside the “Disney bubble” all add real value to an on-site stay. But as great as those perks are, there’s one advantage that impacts your trip before it even begins, and one that can completely change how your park days happen.

If you’re planning your 2026 Disney World trip, you’re probably thinking about Lightning Lanes, Dining Reservations, and, if you’re like us, daydreaming about what the best snacks to grab on your trip.
Mickey Pretzel
When you come to the Disney World parks in 2026, you’re going to want to get the best value for your dollar. And, yes, that goes for the Disney World snacks, too. There are THOUSANDS of snacks to choose from around the parks, hotels, and Disney Springs, and while many will be a good deal, not all have the flavor behind them. Today, we’re breaking down the best snacks this year.
Disney World is always changing with rides getting reimagined, hotels getting refreshed, and even the smallest details evolving over time.
Buffalo Chicken Strips
But lately, we’ve noticed a very specific change happening across restaurants and snack stands, and honestly? We’re obsessed with it. Disney World has quietly started a new food trend: taking one wildly popular, familiar item and remixing it into multiple versions across the parks and resorts. Instead of introducing totally brand-new snacks that guests might skip, Disney is leaning into foods people already love… and then making them impossible to ignore. Think of it like a food scavenger hunt, and we want more.
While there are many reasons to stay at a Disney World hotel, the exclusive perks that come with booking on-property are often the real game-changer for many guests.
Slinky Dog Dash in Hollywood Studios
One of the biggest advantages Disney hotel guests currently enjoy is early access to Lightning Lane selections. This benefit can dramatically shape your park days before you ever arrive at Disney World. This perk gives Disney resort guests a powerful head start over off-site visitors, especially when it comes to snagging hard-to-get attractions. Here’s everything you need to know about how it works, why it matters, and how to use it to your advantage.
