Walt Disney World just announced that IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth will be retired at the end of Summer 2019, to be replaced by a new fireworks show at Epcot as part of the park’s multi-year transformation. Per the Disney Parks Blog, Walt Disney World will be “celebrating this classic show, so you still have plenty
Walt Disney World crowd trends have been quirky the last few years, which is something to which we’ve paid close attention. Last year, we wrote Summer is No Longer Peak Season at Disney World. Another post from early this year asked the titular question, Is There an Off-Season at Disney World? Well, if our August
The 2018 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival has some snacks and desserts that you should skip. Dishes that are not worth your money, time, or limited stomach space. In this post, we’ll cover the booths and items you should avoid at Walt Disney World’s flagship culinary event. We’re not trying to be ‘Debbie Downers’
Magic Kingdom visitors generally go to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe for one of two reasons: intergalactic showbiz all-star Sonny Eclipse, or the rotating menu of bizarre burgers. Given that it’s the busiest restaurant in all of Walt Disney World, there are probably more than just those two reasons, but those are the best ones. In
Epcot is the final stop of our September 2018 Walt Disney World construction reports. Our last update from here was only a few weeks ago, but with the Food & Wine Festival now underway, plus more construction progress on the Guardians of the Galaxy and Ratatouille attractions, and Skyliner gondola transportation we’re making a return
We’re back at Coronado Springs to check-in on construction progress of the 15-story hotel tower, over-the-water bar & grill, and other “improvement” projects as the hotel aims to enhance its offerings to appeal more to Walt Disney World’s business and convention guest clientele. To be honest, it’s a pretty mundane update. Aside from lunch at
Taste Track is a food truck in Future World at Epcot that operates during the summer tourist season at Walt Disney World. Currently, Taste Track has a special menu for the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, and that’s what we’ll be reviewing. This new menu at Taste Track includes the famed Pancake Milkshake and
During our recent Walt Disney World trip, we braved the Toy Story Land crowds at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on several different days to see the park a couple months after this new land debuted. In this post, we’ll take a look at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge construction and how things currently stand as the park
We’ve already covered Halloween at Magic Kingdom via our 2018 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party Photo Report and Fall Snack Guide to Walt Disney World. Aside from the seasonal festivities, quite a bit is going on around the park, so let’s take a grand circle tour of the various construction projects and changes. We
Some of the construction walls are down at Caribbean Beach Resort! With the removal of walls around Banana Cabana and Sebastian’s Bistro, the waterfront dining is almost ready to debut, and the main component of Walt Disney World’s largest hotel improvement projects is nearly finished. Work on the new lobby and Centertown Market is not
Almond Orchard is a booth at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival that likely exists due to a sponsorship agreement Walt Disney World has with Almond Breeze. Either that, or one of the chefs loves almond milk as much as Guy Fieri loves all things deep-fried. While I don’t side with Fieri on much,
