food IS a theme park
The start of a new year is often a time when vacation planning for the year begins! If a trip to Disney World is in your plans, you’re probably already budgeting and saving for it!
EPCOT
Some prices have changed recently at Disney World, so we’re here with some important reminders today!
What exactly is going on with Disney World’s price increases and what many are perceiving as an endless quest to get more and more money out of guests?

We are hearing from many readers who say they are swearing off visiting the parks because of it. So…has it always been this way? Will it affect your upcoming trips? We’re taking an intense look at Disney World prices.
Just because Disney World is The Most Magical Place on Earth doesn’t mean it can’t use some improvements!
Main Street U.S.A.
We know that many Disney fans have thoughts about recent changes in the parks, especially when it comes to Genie+, price increases, and crowds. So how do guests propose to fix the problems they see in the parks? We’re about to find out! [Read more…]
There seems to be an endless list of things we need on our Disney World vacations: our favorite rides, top-notch restaurants, fireworks, a day by the pool, a photo with Mickey Mouse, and a new pair of Minnie Ears. But there are also several things that many of us would be more than okay living WITHOUT.
Welcome to Disney World!
We reached out to our readers on social recently to see what things in Disney World they could live without, and we received well over 1,000 responses! Let’s dive in and see what the most popular responses were.
A lot can change in 50 years! With Disney World celebrating its 50th anniversary, we’ve been feeling nostalgic and looking back at old times, and we’re constantly surprised by just how MUCH is different in the Most Magical Place on Earth these days!
Cinderella Castle
From bygone rides and restaurants to new parks, new hotels, and new attractions, Disney World looks very different than it did in 1971. Oh and let’s not forget the MAJOR change in prices! Some of these “how it started, how it’s goings” might really surprise you! [Read more…]
From time to time, we spot price increases at restaurants and more around the Disney World parks, and we do our best to let you know about the changes when we see them.

Today, we spotted a small change in EPCOT that wasn’t necessarily a price increase — it was more of a product decrease. But, it will have an impact on just how much bang you’re getting for your buck. Let us explain.
Disney World is a wonderful place, but it can also be wildly expensive.
Magic Kingdom
If you’ve been following along with changes in Disney World over the past few years, you know that price increases are the norm. Whether it’s ticket prices, hotel rates, or merchandise; things tend to get more expensive over time and with changes in demand levels. So, we’re wondering: How expensive will Disney World be in 10 years?
Happy October 1st, y’all!
Spaceship Earth
So a LOT of exciting things are happening today (check ’em all out in this post!) like the grand opening of Epcot Forever and the new Epcot Experience, the Donut Box and Cool Wash are opening at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival, and Disney is debuting plant-based logos and new plant-based menu items.
Buuut…it looks like Disney has one MORE change in store for us today…and it’s NOT. AWESOME.
Along with the counter service price hikes noted in the parks this past week, we’ll also be paying more for our soda pop fix as well.
Pop Varieties
We heard via twitter from Epcyclopedia today that soda pop prices have risen by $.40 per cup. Old Fountain Drink Prices: $2.19 and $2.49. New Fountain Drink Prices: $2.59 and $2.89.
Studios Central reported that soda pop was $2.79 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ Backlot Express (which has refill stations that guests are able to access).
