We aren’t putting it lightly when we say that you NEED this Disney World accessory! BAGSMART Water Bottle Holder Bag We’ve been to Disney World countless times, and every trip has presented one thing that has been annoying to deal with. That problem was carrying around our water bottle. Sure, you can put it in a backpack, but you risk getting things wet. You can hold it, but after a couple of hours, it starts to get tiring. Well, this new accessory on Amazon changed EVERYTHING! DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Get the BAGSMART Water Bottle Holder BAGSMART Water Bottle Holder Bag You need to grab this BAGSMART Water Bottle Holder Bag from Amazon! This is made for more than just a water bottle. It’s for holding your water bottle, cards, sunglasses, lip gloss, and other small items. It’s the perfect accessory for anyone who uses a reusable water bottle but wants to remain hands-free. BAGSMART Water Bottle Holder Bag We seriously think this is a perfect park bag! Especially those afternoon/evening park visits, or for people visiting who don’t need a ton of things (ie without kids). We would say it’s also perfect for an AP that goes for just a few hours. If you’re going for just a few hours, this is the easiest bag to grab and go. It’s 100% worth the money. We were honestly shocked at how much we could fit in this, and it was so convenient (dare we say more convenient than a Loungefly because you didn’t have to unzip anything). BAGSMART Water Bottle Holder Bag Key features of the product are that it’s big enough for a 24 oz water bottle, sunglasses, a pinfolio, a sunscreen stick, a small bottle of Tylenol, lip gloss, and a hair clip. It has a zipper on the side that makes it easier to add/take things out, but also has a small card holder/card slots in the front pocket. Additionally, the top has a drawstring, so nothing will fall out. The front pocket also fits the new iPhone (the larger size). We used it in the rain, and it dried without leaving weird spots. The strap can be made longer or shorter. BAGSMART Water Bottle Holder Bag If there’s anything that we would change, we would make the strap just a little thicker. That way, the water bottle’s weight could be distributed a little better. If the strap were a little wider, it would be more comfortable to wear the bag with a larger water bottle. This is not an issue for us at Disney because there are so many water bottle refill stations. BAGSMART Water Bottle Holder Bag If you don’t need a ton of different items during your park day, this is the easiest bag to add, and at this price, it’s a no-brainer to grab. We loved just being able to turn the bag and grab the water bottle (or our pins) when needed, and not have to take off our backpack and unzip it to get anything. The bag itself is SUPER light! We think this can work for multi-day trips, even. If we were to give this a rating out of 5, we would say 4.5/5 (would be 5/5 if I could wear a larger water bottle with it!). view ON AMAZON We’re always on the hunt for the latest and greatest Disney souvenirs and essentials, so don’t forget to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for more!

If you’re planning a Disney World trip, then you need to have Official Walt Disney World Hotels on your radar. These are the hotel chains you know and love, notably Marriott and Hilton hotels, within walking distance of Disney Springs, that offer some amazing Disney perks like complimentary transportation and early theme park entry. Bailey’s Chocolate Decadence We checked out the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace right next to Disney Springs, and after we got settled in our room, you know what comes next. We had to try all of the food! And spoiler alert – we might stay here again just to eat! First up, we’re heading to Shades! We started with the Spinach Avocado Salad. This is made of mixed berries, candied walnuts, avocado chunks, charred red onion, and queso fresco crumble. The fruit and walnuts were sweet, and the onion and queso made this a yummy sweet and savory combo. It’s tossed in a Chia seed vinaigrette that was super crunchy and fresh! Spinach Avocado Salad Then, we got the Chicken Salad Sandwich from Citrus 28. This was super creamy with tons of chicken and celery. It wasn’t a showstopper, but it was still good! Chicken Salad Sandwich We tried the Chicken BLT from Shades, which is chicken, lettuce, tomato, and bacon on a grilled brioche bun. The mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, and chicken were super tasty and fresh, but the bun was overtoasted, so it was a pretty dry sandwich. We had to add some more mayo to make it good. Chicken BLT We also got the Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup from Citrus 28. The tomato soup is acidic and creamy, with a small hint of basil to add some depth. The grilled cheese was a great size to dip into the soup! Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Next up was the Philly Cheesesteak Roll. This is beef tenderloin, Cooper sharp cheese, and caramelized onions. These are deep-fried, so they’re crispy and golden brown, with a soft and tender beef tenderloin inside. It’s served with harissa aioli that adds a great kick! Philly Cheesesteak Rolls We got dessert with this Bailey’s Chocolate Decadence, sold at both LetterPress and Sunnies. It’s made with fudge brownie pieces, Bailey’s chocolate mousse, and dark chocolate ganache. This was straight chocolate in the best way possible! There was only a slight Bailey’s flavor in the aftertaste, which made all of the chocolate super rich. Bailey’s Chocolate Decadence We’ll definitely be back at the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace to try some more food. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more food reviews of Disney World and beyond!

Disney fans know that some attractions never stay inside the parks. ©Amazon The Haunted Mansion has inspired everything from home decor to fashion, and now one of its most recognizable design elements can become part of your own space. If you’ve been looking for an easy way to add Disney personality without committing to a major renovation, this is one home upgrade you’ll want to see. DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Your Walls Are Missing That Haunted Mansion Magic Creating a Disney-inspired room can be surprisingly difficult. Plenty of decorations feel too themed or overly bright, making them hard to blend into everyday living spaces. The Haunted Mansion, though, has always stood out because its iconic wallpaper is both spooky and surprisingly elegant. That vintage damask pattern feels just as at home in a reading nook, office, bedroom, or media room as it does inside the famous attraction. That’s exactly why the RoomMates Disney Haunted Mansion Grey Peel and Stick Wallpaper caught our attention. ©Amazon This officially licensed wallpaper recreates the attraction’s famous distressed grey and black damask pattern, complete with imagery inspired by Disney’s Haunted Mansion. Instead of requiring messy paste or professional installation, you simply peel and stick each panel onto a smooth, flat surface. That also makes it a fantastic option for renters or anyone who likes changing their decor every few years. If you decide to redecorate later, the wallpaper removes cleanly without leaving sticky residue behind. Even better, it’s repositionable during installation, so you don’t have to stress if the first piece isn’t perfectly lined up. ©Amazon Each roll measures 20.5 inches wide by 18 feet long and covers approximately 30.8 square feet, making it easy to calculate exactly how much you’ll need for an accent wall, bookshelf backing, hallway, or an entire room. The 20.5-inch design repeats, keeping the classic Haunted Mansion pattern looking seamless across your walls. ©Amazon One of our favorite things about peel and stick wallpaper is how versatile it can be. You don’t have to wallpaper an entire room to make an impact. We’ve seen Disney fans use it behind floating shelves, inside glass-front cabinets, on furniture makeovers, or even to create custom photo backdrops for collectibles. Since it works on smooth, flat surfaces, there are plenty of DIY possibilities beyond traditional walls. ©Amazon If you’ve been searching for a decorating project that’s manageable over a weekend but still makes a dramatic difference, this fits the bill perfectly. Take a closer look before you start your next home project. view ON AMAZON The Haunted Mansion has always been one of Disney’s most beloved attractions because it balances spooky charm with timeless style. This wallpaper captures that same feeling while giving fans an easy decorating solution that doesn’t require permanent changes or professional help. Whether you’re building the ultimate Disney room, refreshing your office, or simply adding a subtle nod to your favorite attraction, this wallpaper offers a fun way to bring a little piece of the mansion home. ©Amazon We’re always on the hunt for the latest and greatest Disney souvenirs and essentials, so don’t forget to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for more!

There are A LOT of things you may need to bring with you for your Disney park day, which means you might need to invest in a pretty solid bag. Look at ALL of these essentials! Let’s be honest, that $5 string bag you got at your local convenience store isn’t going to last you your whole trip with everything you’ll be carrying — it might not even last you the whole day! It’s better to be prepared than to have to carry your stuff around in a plastic shopping bag the rest of your trip. That’s why we took to Amazon and found some of the best bags you can take with you on your Disney World vacation! DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Get the Scarlet Witch Crossbody Bag ©Amazon Not only is this bag fashionable, but it’s also extremely functional. It’s made with a metallic faux leather and 3D‑molded metal rivets, and is finished with appliqué and debossed detailing. You can carry this bag two ways — either holding it by the handles or slinging it over your shoulder using the crossbody strap. It is 9.5 inches wide, 8 inches tall, and 5 inches deep, making it a great bag to fit those essentials like your phone, keys, wallet, sunscreen, and more! View on Amazon This Beauty and the Beast Loungefly is Subtle, Yet Stylish ©Amazon At first glance, this bag looks like a regular black backpack with red roses on it, but if you look closely, you’ll find some hidden Beauty and the Beast details like Belle in her yellow gown and golden outlines of various characters and symbols, like Lumiere, Cogsworth, the Enchanted Rose, and Belle’s books! If you want something that doesn’t scream, “DISNEY ADULT!” but still want to showcase that you’re a Disney fan, this is the perfect bag for your park days. With two zipper pockets and two side pockets, you’ll be able to fit everything you need for your vacation! view ON AMAZON Same Bag, Different Princess Loungefly backpacks are one of the most used bags when it comes to Disney World park days. They’re themed, they’re light, they’re big enough where they can fit everything and small enough where it doesn’t feel too bulky or weigh you down — they’re the whole package when it comes to park bags. ©Amazon This Little Mermaid Loungefly backpack features Ariel in her mermaid form surrounded by various sea plants, flowers, and shells. There are two pockets on this bag — a large one at the top and a smaller one on the front. view ON AMAZON Everything is Better with Mouse Ears What’s the one souvenir you see almost every guest wearing at Disney World?

Exclusive lounges have been a part of Disney theme parks for a LONG time. After seeing the success of corporate VIP lounges at the 1964 World’s Fair, Walt Disney was inspired to create the iconic Club 33 at Disneyland. Over a decade later, EPCOT Center was home to many corporate lounges, as companies like Kodak (Journey into Imagination) and General Electric (Horizons) installed lounges for employees and other guests hidden away in their respective pavilions. While most of these lounges have been lost to time and change, there’s one that’s still going strong. General Motors Lounge — look at that view! General Motors is one of the few companies to have a sponsorship presence at EPCOT from the start. From opening day through 1996, the company sponsored World of Motion and has sponsored its replacement (sometimes using Chevrolet branding), Test Track, since the original version opened in 1999. Given that long-running relationship, it likely shouldn’t be a surprise that they maintain a lounge in the Test Track building. The Test Track lounge is accessible to General Motors employees, retired General Motors employees, and their families/guests, VIP guests, and even some lucky EPCOT guests on some days (hold tight, we’ll explain). Recently, a Reddit discussion about the lounge broke out. Several employees (or family members/guests of employees) spoke about their experiences visiting and how the lounge offers a brief respite during a crowded theme park day. As user Haphazardformality wrote in part, “Having access to a quiet, private air-conditioned spot, completely free of crowds, to just decompress a bit and reapply sunscreen and sip a complimentary diet coke and use a low-traffic cleaner-than-average restroom is really, really nice.” To the lounge! In addition to the decompression space, several Reddit users who’ve visited also discussed the lounge’s panoramic views, including a clear look at the “post-apocalyptic” state of the long-abandoned Wonders of Life Pavilion. Wonders of Life Non-General Motors employees chimed in as well, with some explaining how they were invited to visit the lounge after talking about the company’s cars in the attraction’s post-show. One reader even shared, “My family and I visited this lounge back in 2017. It was probably one of the coolest things I have ever experienced. We had just gotten off of Test Track, and my mom was talking to one of the Chevy employees there about how their car saved my dad’s life after he got into a really bad accident earlier that summer while on a work trip (he was on his way home from work when a drunk driver hit him head-on at 2 in the afternoon). She showed them the picture of the accident and thanked them profusely for the safety features in their cars that allowed my father to still be here. As we started to exit the gift shop, the employee and some higher-up had stopped us, invited us up to the lounge, and gave us Fast Passes for Test Track for the day.” General Motors Lounge Speaking of Fast Passes – – or now Lightning Lanes – – one perk of the lounge that both General Motors employees and others discussed was special access to the Test Track attraction as they were leaving. Lightning Lane Pass However, not every commentor had a positive opinion on the lounge. Many spoke about the… sparse nature of the space, with one saying, “Jail cells in Europe look better” and another saying the space is “giving Stanley Kubrick.” Entering the door EPCOT’s Test Track Lounge is available exclusively to those associated with General Motors, their guests, and some occasional lucky Disney World guests.

Heading to Universal Orlando in 2027? We’re spilling the secrets on the best places to dine! Dragon Fire Chicken Spire Mac & Cheese Cone Across the three dry parks and one water park, CityWalk, and the hotels, there are dozens and dozens of restaurants to check out. How do you know which one to choose? Well, we’ve eaten all around Universal Orlando and we’re here to break down the best of the best for your 2027 trip. Universal Studios Florida Starting out at the OG park, Universal Studios Florida, one of our favorite places to stop is Illumination’s Minion Cafe, right near the front of the park in Minion Land. The menu is a mix of Despica-Bowls and handheld options, and they’ve got a little something for everyone. The presentation of these dishes is particularly fun, and we’re big fans of the Minion tots! Freedonia Festival of Mac and Cheese For Harry Potter fans, the ultimate stop is Diagon Alley. Here, you can eat at the Leaky Cauldron, inspired by the pub of the same name from the books and movies. They serve British fare like fish & chips, bangers & mash, and miniature pies. Their menu is hearty and portions are sizable. Leaky Cauldron While you’re in the area, make sure to stop at Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour for a sweet treat! This spot serves soft serve and hard pack ice cream. The signature flavor is Butterbeer Soft Serve, but we’re particularly fond of Strawberry & Peanut Butter and Sticky Toffee Pudding as well. Huckleberry ice cream flavor Our last big recommendation at Universal Studios Florida is Central Park Crêpes. Oddly enough, this stand is located in the Hollywood section of the park. It serves both savory and sweet crêpes, with unique seasonal flavors. Universal Islands of Adventure Heading next door to Universal Islands of Adventure, one of our go-to snack spots is in a place you’d least expect — Seuss Landing! Here, the Green Eggs and Ham Cafe is a one-stop-shop for fun loaded tater tots, including one recipe with its namesake. We’re also big fans of the Pizza Tots (they remind us of the Halloween Horror Nights pizza fries) or the iconic Who Hash. Who Hash in a can! Like at the other parks, the Harry Potter food stands out here. In Hogsmeade, you can visit the Three Broomsticks, which serves many of the same menu items as the Leaky Cauldron, but also a few British feast-style platters. It’s a large indoor space with great air conditioning, so you can see why it’s a fan favorite. Three Broomsticks Finally, there are some big restaurant changes happening at Islands of Adventure in 2027 that you’ll want to check out. The fan-favorite Mythos Restaurant is closing in 2027 as part of the retheme of The Lost Continent. No closing date has been revealed yet, but if you find yourself in the park while it’s still open, you might want to stop by. Mythos Restaurant Also, Thunder Falls Terrace in Jurassic Park closes in summer 2026 to be rethemed into the park’s new signature restaurant. It will reopen in 2027 (no date announced yet at the time of publishing), so it’s going to be a hot-ticket spot to visit if you’re there after its opening. Universal Epic Universe Universal’s newest park opened in May 2025 with a slew of new dining options to explore. Our team’s favorite choice in Epic Universe has been Cafe L’air de la Sirene, which is located in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic (shocker, more delicious Harry Potter food!). Their menu is French-inspired with a delightful Butterbeer Crepe and some lighter fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast! If you’ve got picky eaters or pizza lovers, you need to head over to Pizza Moon in Celestial Park. This spot has both basics on the menu as well as some unique options like the Pizza Lunare. The theming inside is incredible, and it has been a very popular spot since it opened. Inside Pizza Moon Now, of course, the most viral food item at Epic Universe is the mac and cheese cones you get in How to Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk. You can find these at either Hooligan’s Grog & Gruel or Spit Fyre Grill. Hooligan’s has Mobile Ordering available and only sells the cones, plus beverages. Spit Fyre Grill does not offer Mobile Ordering, but has a few healthier (and yummy!) bowls on the menu in addition to the cones. Mac and Cheese Cones! And if you’re looking for something to wet your whistle, head over to Bar Moonshine in the Ministry of Magic. This spot is home to some very cool themed beverages and a well-themed atmosphere. It has been a favorite stop for our team to grab a cocktail! Universal Volcano Bay Volcano Bay isn’t like any other water park you’ve been to before, it’s a seriously cool water park. So much, that Universal counts it as a “theme park.” One of our favorite dining spots here is Whakawaiwai Eats. The big highlights of the menu are the longboard pizzas and the loaded mac and cheeses. Volcano Bay at Universal Orlando The most famous snack at Volcano Bay (and a great way to cool off on a hot day) is the Waturi Fusion, a colorful mix of banana, blue raspberry, orange, and strawberry soft serve ice cream flavors. You’ll find this cone, along with other ice cream treats, at Koka Poroka Ice Cream Kona. ©Universal And for a fun themed beverage, our go-to stop is the Kunuku Boat Bar. They have frozen drinks, specialty cocktails, and draft beers. CityWalk Serving as the hub for Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and several of the hotels is CityWalk, Universal Orlando’s dining, shopping, and nightlife district. Here reside some serious hidden gem restaurants, like The CowFish, where you can find burgers and sushi, and even burger sushi! ©Universal Another beloved spot is BigFire Restaurant, where everything is cooked over a flame! They’ve got surf and turf with the fire-kissed treatment, and one of the highlights is actually on the dessert menu — tableside DIY s’mores. ©Universal For delicious Mexican fare and tableside guac, you’ll want to head to Antojitos. This spot is lots of fun with live music, and has a ton of indoor seating, so it’s a great last-minute reservation. Antojitos But perhaps the most well-known spot to dine in CityWalk is The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen. It’s a restaurant, bar, and confectionery rolled into one. You can order classics like steak and seafood, but the real star here is dessert. They’re well-known for their chocolate creations and over-the-top milkshakes. Red Velvet, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Bacon Brittle Milkshakes Another great dessert spot is Voodoo Doughnut, which is a doughnut shop where you walk up and order at the counter. They have some really unique creations and fun flavors in both yeast and cake doughnut options. But be prepared to wait a little while, because it is POPULAR. VooDoo Doughnut Doughnuts! Last but not least in CityWalk, we’ve got to recommend you visit the Butterbeer Bar in the back of the Universal Studios Store. This is a must-have treat when you’re visiting Universal Orlando, and you can now snag it outside the parks, which is a HUGE deal. Butterbeer! Generally, when we go to Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, one of the best strategies is to eat lunch in-park at one of the quick service locations we mentioned above, then make dinner reservations at a sit-down restaurant in CityWalk. That’s a surefire way to get some of the best food possible. Resorts Of course, if you’re staying on Universal property, there are some must-try spots at the hotels. Jake’s American Bar is located at Loews Royal Pacific Resort. It offers delicious American fare like burgers and fun apps, plus a mixture of island-inspired cocktails. ©Universal At Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, you’ll find Bice Ristorante, a sit-down spot that offers Northern Italian cuisine. Handmade pasta is rolled fresh here daily, and they’re known for menu items like the seafood fettuccini. Don’t forget to save room for dessert, because they have a lovely tiramisu. ©Loews Finally, we have two options that we loved at Universal Helios Grand Hotel. For a beverage, head up to the rooftop bar with spectacular views — Bar Helios. This spot has some delightful small bites and stunning atmosphere. Greek God Cocktail And for Mediterranean fare at lunch or dinner or a delightful breakfast to kick off the day, Flora Taverna is a go-to. This spot has a chill vibe with windows that look out over Epic Universe. Flora Taverna Whew, that was a lot of food talk! Stick to this list, and you’re bound to have a delicious trip to Universal Orlando in 2027!

The Fourth of July might have been yesterday, but there is still lots of Patriotic fun happening around the Disney World parks today. Mickey and Pals on the 4th of July One of the highlights of the Fourth of July can be found over in EPCOT, where Mickey and Friends meet guests in their patriotic outfits. To say this is a popular meet-and-greet is a big understatement, considering this line was almost FIVE HOURS long yesterday! When we made our way over to the American Adventure Pavilion yesterday to snag some pictures with our favorite gang in their fun outfits, we were shocked to see that the line was full of switchbacks and stretching throughout the pavilion. It’s safe to say lots of folks were looking to grab some festive photos. After speaking with a Cast Member, we learned that the line had been cut off an hour earlier (we spoke to them at 3:30, meaning the cutoff was around 2:30) because it had reached its five-hour capacity and they could not accommodate any more guests. This line was SO long In fact, for the guests in line, the wait could have been even longer because while we were there, the characters were pulled backstage due to inclement weather, with no timeline provided for when or if they would be able to return. The Cast Members informed guests that they were permitted to remain in line to see if the characters returned. Given the approaching inclement weather, we thought some guests might leave the line, but while we were there, the line appeared to stay the same. LONG line! If you missed your chance to spot these characters over the past few days, you still have one more chance! They will be meeting again today, July 5th, one last time until next year’s Fourth of July festivities. Today, head over to the American Adventure Pavilion to catch Mickey and two of his friends in their Fourth of July best. You could meet any combination of Pluto, Goofy, and Chip ‘n’ Dale alongside Mickey. If this meet-and-greet is important to you, we suggest getting over there as early as possible! The line will get long, and the only way to guarantee you get to meet these characters is by securing a spot in line early. How long would you wait to meet these characters in their fun 4th of July outfits? Today, you can also catch the final showings of “Disney’s Celebrate America! — A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky” firework show at 9 PM in Magic Kingdom. Then, over in EPCOT, you can see the final show of “Heartbeat of Freedom,” which is a five-minute patriotic finale that starts at 9:15 PM, directly after Luminous: The Symphony of Us. 4th of July in Magic Kingdom We always make sure to keep you informed of any special offerings or news around Disney World, so stay tuned with Disney Food Blog so you never miss anything!

HUGE changes are coming to the Carousel of Progress at Magic Kingdom, and we’re here on the last day of the current iteration of the ride as we know it. Carousel of Progress We already knew that a Walt Disney Animatronic would be coming to the ride, but Disney shared that even more updates are on the way for this iconic attraction. Each scene will be completely overhauled to feature new decades — and we’ll even get a glimpse into the future! The ride is set to close on July 6th so Disney can make way for these changes, and we’re celebrating the last day of the original Carousel of Progress. Magic Kingdom’s Carousel of Progress closes on July 6th and is expected to reopen sometime in 2027, as Disney works to completely overhaul the ride. We stopped by on the last day of the current version of the ride’s operation, and we weren’t the only ones! ©Disney While this ride normally has a low wait time, around five minutes, since the theater can hold so many people in each of the four sections of seating, we were curious to see if today would be the same. Right around 9:30 AM, just half an hour after the park opened, the ride was indeed sitting at just a five-minute wait. ©Disney Looking at crowds near the ride, there was a small crowd that had headed straight to the attraction at rope drop, but otherwise, there hasn’t been enough of a crowd yet to completely fill each theater. Now, it’s very possible people are rope dropping other attractions that often get higher waits, since even on its final day, Carousel of Progress’ larger capacity will likely keep it from getting too large of a wait throughout the day. We’ll be keeping an eye on it all day to see how the crowds ebb and flow. Carousel of Progress crowds One of Disney’s main goals for this update is to keep the attraction relatable for audiences of today by featuring eras that people have personal connections to. Imagineering has been revisiting the music, fashion, technology, and experiences that helped shape history as it’s reflected in this family’s story. Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress Act 1 will feature the 1960s, which is when the Carousel of Progress first opened at the 1964 World’s Fair. The story looks back about 60 years, and now this new scene will mirror that idea — starting 60 years back from today, in the 1960s. ©Disney Act 2 takes us to the 1980s, where bigger is better. On Halloween night in 1985, Sarah will take center stage as she shares all about how the new appliances and gadgets are making life easier for the whole family. John is out on the porch handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, and poor Uncle Orville will still be in the bathroom with “no privacy at all around here!” Carousel of Progress In Act 3, we’ll travel to the new millennium as the 1990s draw to a close. The family is getting ready to ring in the new year on New Year’s Eve 1999. The Internet is bringing John, Sarah, Jimmy, and Patty closer together than ever before. Of course, Grandpa has already nodded off, so Grandma changes the TV over to wrestling when no one is looking. The Carousel! And finally, Act 4 features the possible future. The family is seen one last time in the distant future, in a home that’s out of this world. The off-planet scene features a helpful robot assisting with everyday tasks, along with space travel, and imagines a future where extraordinary innovation has become part of life. What will the future bring? Disney shared that Carousel of Progress is expected to reopen sometime in 2027, and we can’t wait! These are some MAJOR changes, and we’re hopeful that the ride will still reflect everything we loved about the original. Carousel of Progress We’ll be on the lookout for more Carousel of Progress updates you need to know about at Magic Kingdom and beyond.

A major change is coming to one of Disney World’s oldest attractions TOMORROW. Carousel of Progress Walt Diseny’s Carousel of Progress – – which has been operating in one form or another since its debut at the 1964 New York World’s Fair, meaning it actually predates Disney World by over a decade – – is set to close for a major refurbishment that will shift nearly everything about the 60+ year old attraction. In an attempt to keep the show “relatable for today’s audiences,” the whole show is being restructured. The show will now feature a Walt Disney animatronic in the pre-show, followed by new acts based on the 1960s (itself harkening back to the decade the show originally debuted), the 1980s, the 1999-turn of the millennium, and a “possible future” that will imagine a time where “extraordinary innovation has become part of life and proves that a beautiful tomorrow is just a dream away.” The Carousel of Progress will close on July 6th for its transformation, with an estimated reopening in 2027. ©Disney This won’t be the first time the Carousel of Progress has changed. The attraction has been intermittently updated over the years, with the most recent major upgrade coming in 1994. While the show has its fans, me VERY much included, it is fair to say that the show – – especially the ending sequence that still name-drops the “upcoming” turn of the millennium – – has been feeling a bit stale for a couple of decades. The resident flying ace is about to be grounded. Despite that, reactions to the renovation details have been mixed so far. Some have been negative, with guests mourning the loss of most of the Walt-designed original concept) to positive, with some excited that modern audiences have their own time periods to look back on and deserve their own “Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow” to look forward to. Carousel of Progress Personally, after thinking over my own reservations on the change, I do believe that the attraction’s message of a hopeful future is one that needs to be relatable to modern audiences, and right now it’s not. The 1960s are as far away from the 2020s as the early 1900s were from the 1960s when the original debuted. ©Disney Starting tomorrow, the Carousel of Progress is set to begin a massive transformation that will modernize the attraction for tomorrow, though if it turns out to be “great, big, and beautiful,” remains to be seen.

It’s been a BIG year for Magic Kingdom. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad reopened as new and improved versions of themselves. Cinderella Castle got repainted. Now another big change is coming to the park! It’s Carousel of Progress’ final day before refurbishment! The Carousel of Progress is getting a massive makeover, which means we need to say goodbye to the version we know and love. We’re here on the last day of operation for the current Carousel of Progress, and we’re not the only ones who came out to say farewell. While crowds at the Transportation and Ticket Center this morning for rope drop weren’t any more intense than normal, we were super curious to see how many people lined up for rope drop would actually head for Tomorrowland. Rope drop crowds outside the gates were a little backed up, but nothing too wild, which was a little surprising. Not only because of today being as important as it is for Carousel of Progress, but also because it’s Fourth of July weekend! Rope Drop Crowds Once people were allowed into the park and able to line up near the lands they planned to get in first thing, there was a small crowd for Tomorrowland as a whole, but it wasn’t shoulder to shoulder, which was a nice reprieve. Lines for Tomorrowland Right around 9:30 AM, after the park had officially been open for about half an hour, Carousel of Progress was only sitting at a five-minute wait, which is usually its regular wait time. There was a small crowd of people who headed straight for the ride when it opened, but otherwise, we’ve noticed so far that the theaters haven’t been filled up for each showing. That’s partly due to just how large the capacity for this ride is. Carousel of Progress crowds Today (July 5th) is the final day of operation for the original version of Carousel of Progress. The ride will reopen in 2027 as a completely NEW version. The new version will feature a new timeline, including the 1960s, the 1980s, the new millennium, and the potential future. “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow” will remain the song for the new version, and we’ll be following the same family. The new ride will also feature a Walt Disney animatronic in the very first scene. ©Disney We’ll be sure to keep you updated on all the changes coming to Carousel of Progress.

Things are ALWAYS changing in Disney World! Lately, it feels like the parks are entirely new places thanks to updates like Villains Land, Piston Peak, Monsters Inc. Land, and other major changes. Welcome to La Poutinerie Each week, it feels like Disney is constantly dropping new information, details, and more! That’s why we like to do a weekly wrap-up of the biggest news so you don’t miss a single thing. This week was pretty exciting for people who love new stuff in Disney World! This week was an exciting one for Disney World fans! We got new entertainment, new snacks, and we might even get a new menu for a restaurant that sorely needs it. Here’s everything we loved this week. LEVEL99 has arrived Over in Disney Springs, LEVEL99 officially opened to the public! The new entertainment offering has over 60 games, a bar, and a restaurant for guests to indulge in. LEVEL99 is here! We got to check out the new offering ahead of its opening, and we (frankly) fell in love with it. The games are designed for groups of two to six people with varying degrees of difficulty. There are puzzles, brain games, physical challenges and more for you and your group to dive into. Level99 Bar If you want to check out the new offering but you aren’t interested in the games just yet, you can get a free pass to check out the restaurant and bar. This is the 4th LEVEL99 location, but the CEO has confirmed that more are going to be opening across the country. We can’t wait to see where the new locations go and how fans receive the new entertainment option in Disney Springs. EVERYTHING We Learned About LEVEL99 in Disney Springs on Opening Day La Poutinerie has opened! A new snack stand has come to EPCOT! La Poutinerie officially opened in the Canada Pavilion this week, and we tried it all. This new stand has the classic poutine that the Canada pavilion is known for, and the new stand is sponsored by Air Canada. La Poutinerie The new stand is open from 11 AM until 5 PM daily for you savory snackers. There are two different kinds of poutine to try, as well as several drinks to grab. While change is pretty hard, we did seriously enjoy these new bites. You can read our full review below! REVIEW: NEW Snack Stand Is NOW OPEN at EPCOT Quite Restaurant Closure Finally, Disney quietly announced a short-term closure of an infamous restaurant. That’s right, Coral Reef Restaurant in EPCOT is closing in September. The Coral Reef Restaurant is set to temporarily close on September 8th with no reopening date announced. What we do know is that Disney plans on reopening the dining spot later in 2026. Coral Reef Restaurant Disney hasn’t shared why the restaurant is closing. This could be a refurbishment, but it could also be a seasonal closure. Coral Reef actually shifted to a reduced, dinner-only schedule early this year, in January. We’re selfishly hoping this will be quite a big change because this restaurant has become one of Disney’s “worst” over the last few years. Surf and Turf While it’s not terrible, it’s hard to say that it’s a great choice compared to several of the other amazing options in EPCOT. We’re keeping our fingers firmly crossed for a fresh look and a new menu. Disney Quietly Announces EPCOT Restaurant Closure Starting in September We are feeling extra hungry after all of that! It was a busy week (just like any other), and we are so excited for what’s ahead. As always, be sure to keep following DisneyFoodBlog for more Disney news, updates, details, and more.

At our recent visit to LEGOLAND Florida, we decided to check out the Shipwreck Restaurant at the Pirate Island Hotel! Shipwreck Restaurant This restaurant offers breakfast and dinner options through a prix-fixe 3-course meal, an all-you-can-eat menu with salad, your choice of one of three skillet options, and dessert! Soft drinks are also included in the meal. So, what did we think? We’re bringing you our FULL review of the Shipwreck Restaurant dinner! What Is the Shipwreck Restaurant? The Shipwreck Restaurant offers a family-style dinner for the whole table with several different options, so everyone is bound to find something they’ll enjoy! The table will get to choose one skillet; however, if there is someone in your party who eats plant-based and the rest of your group does not, they will not make the entire table eat from one skillet. Shipwreck Restaurant Dinner Menu They also allow mixing and matching between skillets in case you’d like to try something from another skillet that’s not currently in the one you selected. Guests will enjoy all-you-can-eat bread, salad, skillets, and dessert for $40 per adult and $19 per child, which is a pretty great deal if you ask us! Shipwreck Restaurant Drink Menu In line with the rest of the hotel, this restaurant is decked out in LEGO Pirate details — decals on the walls, pirate ships, and pirate figures throughout the room. There’s also a small, separate room for younger children to play with LEGOS directly attached to the dining room, so there’s no worry about being bored during this dinner! Look at this decor! The service was also absolutely amazing! Everyone we interacted with was fantastic and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the meal. We spoke with servers, a sous chef, and a manager, and they were all extremely welcoming and perceptive to any questions we had, especially about allergies and food preferences. Shipwreck Restaurant And when it comes to allergies, they took them VERY seriously. Even with just a food preference, the sous chef came directly to our table when we had a food preference, and they even took down our name and room number in case there were any questions or concerns following our meal. We were regularly reminded of what was plant-based and what modifications were made to ensure we knew what was in front of us! Shipwreck Restaurant Speaking of the food, we were pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of it! We weren’t expecting the food to be as well done as it was, and it’s clear the menu was made with care and quality in mind. Now, enough about that — let’s get into what we ate! Everything We Ate Starting off with the bread service, these rolls were very fluffy and warm and were easy to pull apart. It tasted a bit dry, but the cinnamon butter that came on the side solved that problem quickly! Shipwreck Restaurant Bread Service It was extremely soft and spreadable with a sweet flavor that paired nicely with the rolls. It’s no bread without butter Moving on to the salad, all of the ingredients were fresh and weren’t something you’d find in your typical restaurant salad. This is a mixed green salad with toasted almonds, dried cranberries, fresh tomatoes, fresh apples, red onions, and asiago cheese tossed in a homemade poppy seed dressing. Shipwreck Restaurant Salad The asiago cheese, apples, and dried cranberries gave it a unique flavor that we loved! It was also not overly dressed, so the flavors of the ingredients weren’t overpowered, and the poppy seed dressing added a nice flavor. A vegan option is also available upon request. Shipwreck Restaurant Salad Now we’ve made it to the hearty part — the family-style skillets. We decided to try the Seadog Skillet, which comes with grilled marinated flank steak, herb roasted pork tenderloin, blackened fish, sautéed garlic citrus shrimp, and rotisserie chicken served with wild rice pilaf, mushroom cream sauce, and garlic butter. Each table will also receive mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and roasted seasonal vegetables with this skillet. Our full spread! Overall, we thought everything was delicious, and there were SO many different things to try. Starting off with the flank steak, it was cut thin and had a good flavor, but it was cooked medium-well, so it was a bit tough. We didn’t get to decide how we’d like our steak cooked — it just comes in one temperature, and because medium-well is more of a crowd-pleasing temperature, that’s how it’s cooked. Although we think it loses some of its flavor because of it. Shipwreck Restaurant Seadog Skillet We received a great cut of pork that we thought was a touch dry, but not overly dry. It was nice and lean with a mild, but pleasant flavor. And the blackened fish really surprised us! We’d go so far as to say that it was one of the best things on this platter! This is a flaky white fish with a robust and aromatic blackened seasoning that wasn’t too strong. Shipwreck Restaurant Seadog Skillet Pork Tenderloin Next up was the garlic citrus shrimp, which we found to be well-cooked and well-prepped! There’s no need to peel the shrimp, but you will need to take the tails off because they are served with them on. And there’s no need to worry about that because the shrimp were so well cooked that the tails slid right off! It’s also served with drawn butter (the kind of butter you’d get with lobster), which made it 10x better! Shipwreck Restaurant Seadog Skillet The rotisserie chicken had a VERY meaty flavor, which just shows that it’s clearly ACTUALLY rotisserie. It had a good texture and was well-cooked, but we found the skin to be a bit stretchy and chewy. Shipwreck Restaurant Seadog Skillet Moving onto the seasonal vegetable, we were brought green beans that were perfectly cooked and had a perfect amount of butter! Shipwreck Restaurant Green Beans It was a little hard to tell because it was wild rice, but we found the wild rice pilaf to be slightly undercooked. We decided to put the mushroom cream sauce on this and some of the other items, and we thought it was a great addition to the meal! It was extremely creamy and had an umami flavor that’s classic, but it pairs nicely with a lot of the stuff on the skillet! Shipwreck Restaurant Wild Rice Pilaf And you can’t go wrong with the mashed potatoes that were served with the skillet — they were super creamy and nicely buttered and combined well with anything on your plate! Shipwreck Restaurant Mashed Potatoes We also found the macaroni and cheese to be a bit basic, but the noodles were ideal, plus there was so much cheese (you can never have enough cheese!) It’s perfect for any macaroni and cheese lover! Shipwreck Restaurant Macaroni and Cheese And finally, we had dessert, where we opted for the Pirate Captain’s Delight. This is a warm chocolate chip cookie skillet served with vanilla bean ice cream, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, and Heath Bar pieces. We LOVED the toppings! The scoop of ice cream was nice and big and came with the perfect drizzle of sauces and Heath Bar pieces. Shipwreck Restaurant Pirate Captain’s Delight But we did find the cookie to be a little disappointing — warm, but not soft. It was more crumbly than gooey, so it was difficult to get a bite. It had good flavor and would be good as a normal cookie, but the texture wasn’t quite right for a skillet cookie. Shipwreck Restaurant Pirate Captain’s Delight Plant-Based Offerings We also got to try some plant-based offerings — vegan meatloaf, seasoned tofu, vegetable dumplings, and the chocolate fondue. Shipwreck Restaurant Plant-Based Skillet The vegan meatloaf was our favorite plant-based option on the menu — it actually tasted like real meatloaf, just without the meat flavor! We found it to be the most successful plant-based meatloaf we’ve ever tried, even with all of the options at Disney World. We DREAM about coming back here just for this one item! Shipwreck Restaurant Plant-Based Meatloaf The seasoned tofu had an Asian-inspired flavor profile with flavors like sweet chili sauce. It’s served with some seasonal vegetables (in this case, mostly broccoli) and tastes like a reliable dish you’d get from your local Chinese restaurant! The roasted cauliflower was the perfect balance of tender and firm and was seasoned well with a blend of spices. Shipwreck Restaurant Tofu The vegetable dumplings were a close second when it came to our favorite plant-based items! They’re actually very comparable to the ones you’ll find at ‘Ohana at the Polynesian Village Resort in Disney World. Shipwreck Restaurant Vegetable Dumplings And when it came to dessert, we found the chocolate fondue to be OUTSTANDING! We really appreciated being able to get an option like this, especially when it’s been removed from other venues. The flavor of the fruit that came with it paired extremely well with the fondue and marshmallows. Shipwreck Restaurant Chocolate Fondue You really can’t beat a delicious and hearty meal at a budget-friendly cost!

This summer is going to be a HOT one in Disney World, which means when it comes to caffeine, we’re going iced coffee all the way. A great summer coffee is here! Sometimes, though, you want something that’s refreshing but is ALSO coffee so you can get that pick-me-up you need. That’s pretty hard to find — at least, it was — but now The Cake Bake Shop on Disney’s BoardWalk has solved all our coffee problems with their new iced coffee flavor that somehow beautifully combines mocha AND blueberry! The new Blueberry White Chocolate Mocha Iced Coffee is now available at the Cake Bake Shop on the bakery side for $9. While that sounds like a lot going on, and we totally get that, because it IS, don’t be fooled. Blueberry White Chocolate Mocha Iced Coffee This is super creamy, and the notes of iced coffee and blueberry are incredibly well-balanced. We didn’t get a lot of white chocolate, and we actually think that’s a very good thing, since white chocolate can often be overpowering. Instead, we got a nice, even vanilla note, which we felt blended beautifully. So good! The taste of this makes us think of blueberry muffins in the best way, since the blueberry comes through in every sip but isn’t overpowering. This is a great afternoon pick-me-up when you’re craving something more than just plain iced coffee, and we can’t recommend it enough, even though it is a little more on the expensive side. The whipped cream on top is a fun addition too Looking for more recent reviews? Check out our posts below! More Recent Reviews!

When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle-of-the-road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well. The BOATHOUSE We recently stopped by The BOATHOUSE at Disney Springs to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here! Atmosphere The BOATHOUSE is a signature restaurant in Disney Springs with a culinary focus on steaks, chops, and seafood. As you might have guessed, it’s themed after boating, and that’s reflected in the overall atmosphere and decor. Inside The BOATHOUSE This restaurant offers seating for 600 (400 inside and 200 outside), so there’s not a bad seat in the house. And don’t miss the chance to stroll around the dock and check out the beautiful vintage “dream boats” from the 30s, 40s, and 50s! The BOATHOUSE indoor seating Another highlight of this unique restaurant is the Amphicars. These cars that “drive” on water are just part of the entertainment at The BOATHOUSE, and you can find booking information for the experience here. The BOATHOUSE Amphicars But enough about the restaurant — what’s on the menu here?! Menu While there are certainly opportunities to splurge on dishes like Maine Lobster Tail Oscar or one of the Gibsons Heritage Steaks, the spot also offers a more casual outdoor menu and sandwiches such as their Gibsons “Sandwich King” Award-Winning Burger. BOATHOUSE menu And, the raw bar serves three to five varieties of oysters in addition to Anastasia Gold caviar sourced from a local farm in Pierson, Florida. Oyster menu And now, onto the main event — the food! Drinks To drink, we picked up the iconic Duck Duck Razz for $17. This is made with Skyy Raspberry Vodka, blue curacao, lemon juice, and simple syrup — and it’s one of our favorite drinks at Disney World! Duck Duck Razz So, what did we grab to eat?! Eats We picked up the Duo Dips & Chips for $13.50. This comes with tortilla chips, pimento chips, and charred tomato salsa. The chips have a nice, crisp crunch and taste freshly prepared. There’s a light seasoning of salt and pepper that add flavor before being dipped. The pepper adds just a little bit of spice that works well with both dips. Duo Dips & Chips The pimento cheese dip is rich, creamy, and cheese-focused. It’s a blend that seems to be multiple cheeses (maybe shredded mozzarella or another lighter cheese). There are red pepper pieces that add color, a slight crunch, and a subtle pepper flavor, though there’s not much of a kick. Pimento Cheese The salsa has a brief kick at the start of each bite before you’re hit with a fresh tomato flavor. The strongest flavor in this is definitely tomato with a slightly acidic aftertaste. It isn’t overloaded with spices or seasoning, but just enough to still get a big flavor from the tomato. The texture is smooth enough to coat the chips, and they don’t soften after holding the dips, either. Charred Tomato Salsa For our main entrée, we had the “Yacht Club” Sandwich, which is $23. This sandwich is made with roasted turkey breast, cucumber, bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, honey chipotle mayo, and Swiss cheese served on multigrain bread. It comes with kettle chips on the side, but you can swap those out for an additional cost. Yacht Club Sandwich This is available in a half or full portion, and our waitress strongly recommended the half due to its size — which we’re happy about, because this was MASSIVE. This is a multi-layered sandwich that’s tall and thick due to how much is packed inside. The roasted turkey is the most prominent flavor here. It’s thick, savory, and freshly roasted instead of something like lunch meat. The vegetables add a freshness and crunch in each bite that blends in. The avocado added a soft texture and creaminess that also blended well. The chipotle honey mayo had a faint, slightly sweet flavor with a mild kick that faded quickly. HUGE sandwich We also tried an order of the Truffle Fries for $13.50. These are served with ketchup and lemon aioli and are COVERED in seasonings. The fries are freshly cooked with a mixture of crispy edges and softer insides. Most of them were pretty floppy and didn’t hold much shape. The potato flavor inside was so fresh that it tasted like steak fries despite them being thin-cut. Truffle Fries These are topped with truffle oil and Parmesan, which add a light saltiness to the fries. The truffle oil adds an earthy taste that’s noticeable in most bites. The STAR of this is the lemon aioli. It’s tangy, citrusy, with a subtle garlic flavor that enhances the other flavors in the fries. The ketchup gives a sweeter, more familiar dipping option, but doesn’t make as much of a difference as the aioli. SO much seasoning Finally, we rounded out our meal with the Key Lime Pie, available for $15. This is made with key lime, vanilla bean chantilly cream, and raspberries, and IT IS HUGE. This is an oversized pie slice that’s easily shareable between 2-4 people! The top layer is light, airy whipped topping that covers the pie and is topped with key lime zest. Key Lime Pie This layer is very creamy and fluffy compared to the layer underneath of key lime custard. This layer is more citrus-focused, sweet, tangy, and thick. It leans closer to a mousse than a dense custard. Although both the custard and whipped layers are about the same size, the citrus flavor is the strongest in the slice, and the whipped layer is there to enhance the layer underneath. There’s also a homemade graham cracker crust that breaks apart easily and gives a warm, spiced crunch. It’s relatively thin, so it’s not in every bite. This was HUGE So, is The BOATHOUSE still one of our favorite spots at Disney Springs? Nosh or Not This Disney World restaurant is a must-visit if… You’re looking for great seafood: Obviously, a place called The BOATHOUSE has pretty good seafood! We’ve had items like different kinds of oysters, grouper, shrimp, and more. Everything usually tastes fresh, bright, with the perfect hit of saltiness, and if seafood is your thing, you’ll have to cross this restaurant off your list. You want a relaxing meal: Sometimes you need to escape the chaos of the theme parks, and one way to do this is by choosing a long table service experience to soak in all the relaxation. We love the comfortable seating, beautiful views out the window, and enjoying the drinks, appetizers, bread on the table, entrees, and dessert. You’re celebrating: While this isn’t the most expensive restaurant in Disney Springs, it’s definitely not the cheapest. We like coming here when we’re celebrating or looking for a place to catch up with friends visiting from out of town, to make it feel special. It’s also nice for a date night! You should skip this Disney World spot if… Seafood is not your thing: While there are great options outside of seafood that we love, if no one in your party is obsessed with seafood, you’ll probably be able to find another restaurant with a wider variety of options. We usually don’t find that this restaurant “smells” like a seafood restaurant, but you might not enjoy the prices if seafood isn’t your focus. You have kids dining with you: While there is a kids’ menu with mac and cheese, burgers, and chicken tenders, there might not be enough options for your kids. There is also grilled salmon and popcorn shrimp for those who are a little more adventurous, but if you have picky eaters and they’re particular about their meals, a restaurant with a more expansive kids’ menu might be better. You’re looking for something more unique: While we do love The BOATHOUSE, the dishes are not the most unique we’ve seen. They’re packed with great flavor and quality, but they’re dishes we’re familiar with. If you’re looking for something you might not have heard of, this might not be it, but if you’re dabbling in seafood, you might enjoy the wide variety of options. Overall The BOATHOUSE In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for more restaurant updates from Disney World and beyond.

We’re so excited to finally have an Encanto-themed attraction coming to Disney World, though we’ve still got many months to go before its planned debut in 2027. ©Disney The new ride, based on the family’s Casita, will be in the new Tropical Americas land in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, which is currently under construction at the former home of DinoLand, U.S.A. While we’re still waiting for an official opening date, we’re watching construction closely, but thanks to Instagram, we’ve got an update on what’s happening with the attraction OUTSIDE of the park! Now, again, there’s been no confirmation of this, but considering the ride will need new vocals from the cast, and we could possibly only be about a year away from opening, we’re really hoping this is the ride taking another step towards opening. ©Disney While we still don’t know a whole ton about the new ride, we do know that the story of the ride takes place after Antonio receives his gift, allowing his room to transform into a lush rainforest. Guests will journey through the Casita itself, encountering members of the Madrigal family along the way, resulting in a story that expands on the film rather than simply retelling it. It also looks like the ride will be a boat attraction, meaning water will likely be involved. ©Disney We’ll be sure to keep you updated on all the latest Disney news, both inside the park and out, so you can keep up with all the latest news, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB!
