food IS a theme park
The Animal Kingdom is celebrating the arrival of the Hakuna Matata Time Dance Party, but that isn’t all that’s going on here!
New Lion King Photo Op in Animal Kingdom
We spotted a new photo op, some new food options, and new merchandise on our latest visit to Animal Kingdom.
It’s always true that you should “look up” when you’re in Disney World so you’re sure to catch various details and design throughout the Resort within the parks, their attractions, and Resorts. But now “look up” is especially good advice, because you may just catch one of the gondolas from the Disney Skyliner now in testing!
Disney Skyliner Gondola
We just spotted gondolas in place last week at the Hollywood Studios station, but initial testing is now underway for the gondolas to take to the skies. [Read more…]

If you’re ready to Get Your Ears On at Disney California Adventure Park, you can eat your way through one of the park’s most popular attractions: Mickey’s Fun Wheel!

Walt Disney World’s Swan and Dolphin Resort

Walt Disney World’s Land Pavilion
is home to one of our go-to quick service spots in Epcot’s Future World — Sunshine Seasons — but upstairs from Living with the Land is one of my favorite underrated character meals: Garden Grill. It’s here, in a rotating restaurant, that diners meet Disney character friends, dine on some really great grub, and get a bird’s eye view of the attraction below. It’s truly one-of-a-kind.
Garden Grill
Remember, at Garden Grill, always ask for a booth versus a table. I just think they’re more fun, plus your view of the Livin’ With The Land attraction scenes below is much better with a booth!

Before we get into the food, let’s say hello to some friends. Garden Grill is home to Farmer Mickey who always looks sharp in his overalls and plaid!
The time has come! Disney pronounced their dedication to eliminating single-use plastics, including plastic bags, in 2019, and we’re starting to see even more reusable bag options in Disney World and Disneyland — this time specific to the locations where they’re found!
We saw some generic Disney reusable bags when World of Disney re-opened recently. But today in Disneyland we spotted these Disneyland-specific bags.
Disneyland Reusable Bags
Bags are $1.00, $1.50, and $2.00 depending on size, and you can see that the bags for each park show attractions in that specific park. On this Disneyland version, you have it’s a small world, Space Mountain, and Star Tours (or, the soon to be found in Disneyland Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge).
Okay, y’all, this is a MUST HAVE! Even if you’re not a Disney dress girl. Even if you wouldn’t dream of doing Dapper Day. IT’S A ZOMBIE HEAD BAG!
Trader Sam’s dress and zombie head bag
The dress itself is basically perfect for any occasion if you ask me. Wedding? Perfect. Graduation? Done. Audience with the queen? For SURE.
Check it out!! We’ve seen loads of Disney Food merchandise in the parks the past few years, and especially in the last couple of weeks with the new D-Lish line.
And today we spotted some brand new scented food merchandise in Disneyland – pillows, specifically!
Dole Whip Scented Pillow
So far, we’ve spotted donuts, Mickey bars, macarons, and more!
