food IS a theme park
When we’re in EPCOT craving a drink, the Japan Pavilion is our go-to spot. Where else in Disney World can you get sake paired with sushi or kakigōri all in one place?
Kabuki Energy Mocktail
So when we saw this new Kabuki Energy drink, we had to try it! Because what’s better than popping boba, right?
There are a few pieces of EPCOT advice that get repeated so often they start to sound like park law.
Welcome to EPCOT — Spaceship Earth
Rope drop Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. Race to Frozen Ever After. Figure out your Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind strategy before you’ve even had coffee. Map out the festival booths with the grim determination of someone planning a bank heist. And listen, none of that advice is wrong. Those rides are popular because they’re genuinely fun. EPCOT festivals are famous for a reason. We have personally made whole afternoons out of tiny plates and drinks that arrive in cups so small they look eerily similar to the rinse cup at your dentist’s office. But sometimes the obvious advice is not the best advice.
While many guests will intricately plan the start of their Disney World day – – rope dropping, Early Entry, breakfast, etc. – – true experts also know what they’ll be doing as the day comes to a close.
Magic Kingdom fireworks.
These expert Disney fans know exactly what to do post-9:00 PM to make sure they end their day exactly how they want.
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
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.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets opened up at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on May 26th, and fans have been enjoying the attraction for a few weeks now. The ride features new music, new styles, and new elements within the queue line, and we’ve totally fallen in love with every detail.
It’s Scooter!
Something we can’t stop talking about is the Scooter audio animatronic. As far as an audio animatronic of a Muppet goes, this is as good as it gets! Disney recently shared a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Scooter animatronic, and everyone has to see this.
If you’re looking for the best bag to bring to Disney World, we’ve got you covered. We’re constantly browsing Amazon, Target, Loungefly, and BoxLunch to find the perfect park bag for every budget.

So when we saw this bag with 4.5 stars on Amazon, we had to see what the hype was about. But once we found out the bag is only $10, we knew we had to share!
Here at Disney Food Blog, you know we love to go around Disney World trying all sorts of eats, treats, and drinks. This time, we went to one of our favorite lounges at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Tune-In Lounge
We recently stopped by the Tune-In Lounge at Hollywood Studios to see if a new drink there could become a go-to for the summer. Of course, we’re bringing you our full review!
There’s been so much happening in Disney World recently that sometimes it’s felt a little hard to catch our breath.
A trash can change happened this week!
We love hearing about all the new projects and exciting attractions coming to Disney World, don’t get us wrong, but for the past few weeks, it felt like everything hit at once. Now, though, some of the biggest attractions have opened — The Walt Disney Studios and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Jessie’s Roundup in Magic Kingdom, Bluey’s Wild World in Disney’s Animal Kingdom — the list goes on. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t still smaller changes happening around the parks each day, and there are ABSOLUTELY still closures you need to know about if you’re heading into the parks this week.
We love going to Animal Kingdom to see all the adorable animals. There are so many cute critters, from flamingos and otters to giraffes and rhinos. If you’re also an animal lover, then Disney just released the best news you’ll hear all week!

Kendi is a 27-year-old white rhino who has lived at Kilimanjaro Safaris her whole life. So keepers immediately spotted a slight cloudiness in her right eye. Kendi had cataracts, a condition that clouds the eye lens and can lead to blindness if left untreated! Disney took us behind the scenes of Kenzi’s surgery and recovery, and we’re bringing you along.
While it may feel like 2026 has just begun, many guests are already in planning mode for their 2027 Walt Disney World vacation.

When it comes to choosing when to visit the “Most Magical Place on Earth” in 2027, the resort will never be “empty,” and there’s not even an “off-season” in the traditional sense anymore, but there are definitely weeks that are comparatively “lighter” than others.
