  2. It’s obviously no secret that we love food here at Disney Food Blog, so when a Disney World restaurant closes for refurbishment, we understandably get pretty bummed. Of course, it usually means that a refreshed and revamped experience is on the way, though, and we can’t be upset about that! Turf Club Lounge has reopened! It also means that we get to be STOKED when a restaurant finally reopens, because a new menu usually comes along with it — and that’s exactly why we’re celebrating now! That’s right, the Turf Club Lounge has officially reopened at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort, and we’ve got a first look at the refreshed space. Let’s check it out. Turf Club Lounge has finally reopened after being closed since late April 2026, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. This lounge at Saratoga Springs Resort is connected to Turf Club Bar & Grill, which itself is now closed for refurbishment. Disney staggered the closures so that either the lounge or the restaurant would be open during the construction. Turf Club Lounge revamped space The lounge is open from 11 AM to 11 PM, and Disney recently shared a look at the revamped menu — so you know we’ll be giving some of these new items a try! Make sure you keep an eye out for our full review. The lounge got some new tables and chairs, along with new carpeting… New tables and chairs …and a brand-new look for the bar as well! New bar! You can check out the new lounge menu below! New Lounge menu We suspect that the Giant Pretzel that was previously available here has been updated to become a pretzel stuffed with charcuterie. This baby is stuffed with meats, cheeses, and veggies. So we’d say that’s a big change. ©Disney It looks like The Turf Club Bar & Grill’s Turf Burger will be returning as well, which is made with Smoked Cheddar, Thick-cut Bacon, Bourbon Glaze, Crispy Onions, and Tomato Jam on a Brioche Bun. However, the side looks to have been upgraded from regular seasoned French fries to waffle fries. We approve! This is a great Disney burger, so we’re all about this being available in the lounge! ©Disney Finally, we also got a photo of what may be an existing menu item: the Crispy Chicken Wings that come with a Choice of Buffalo or Garlic-Parmesan Sauce, Blue Cheese, and Celery. ©Disney Of course, there are drinks offered in the lounge, too! ©Disney As of now, the Disney World website shows that the Turf Club Bar & Grill will reopen on September 30th, so we’ll be sure to keep an eye on that date in case it changes. We’ll be on the lookout for even more Disney World restaurant updates you need to know about and beyond. In the meantime, stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for the latest Disney news and more!

  3. Behind every milestone in Disney Cruise Line’s sustainability journey is a dedicated team of cast and crew members. From the galley and staterooms to Disney’s island destinations in The Bahamas, supporting a healthier planet is a team effort. Disney Cruise Line has eliminated more than 99% of all guest-facing, non-essential, single-use plastics on its ships and island destinations as of the end of fiscal 2025. The real magic on deck and at our island destinations is the dedication of our cast and crew,” Barry Compagnoni, vice president of safety, sustainability & medical operations, shared. “They are the ones bringing our sustainability goals to life every single day, and their impact is visible everywhere you look.” Where to See Our Teams Navigating These Changes If you look closely around our dining rooms, quick-service venues and buffets, guests can see the direct results of culinary and food service teams rethinking the traditional dining service. As a result, crew have steadily moved away from single-use items, replacing them with reusable and refillable, alternatives While Disney Cruise Line previously eliminated single-use staples like plastic straws, merchandise bags, cutlery, and individual condiment packets fleetwide, teams are now tackling everyday packaging and more. Guests who sailed recently may have noticed initiatives across food and beverage locations, including the transition away from individual, single-use packaging for more bulk containers and using reusable serving ware. In doing so, crew can deliver the same great flavors and an elevated dining experience with a fraction of the waste. Innovating at Island Destinations Teams at Disney’s island destinations in The Bahamas have been at the forefront of innovating operations to minimize waste. For example, when designing the guest experience for Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, food and beverage teams saw a blank canvas with an opportunity to do things differently. Through collaboration and forward-thinking, the new island destination operates entirely without guest-facing single-use plastics, utilizing reusable dishware, flatware and cups for every meal. The same service items have been introduced at Disney Castaway Cay, too. In addition to eliminating the need for single-use plastics, using sturdy serviceware means guests enjoy their lunch with an elevated island dining experience. Meanwhile, over at Disney Castaway Cay, our island operations teams have rolled out redesigned trash cans. By ensuring separate receptacles for recycling and food scraps are seamlessly integrated into the guest experience, our crew are able to sort and manage waste more effectively and efficiently than ever before. Every Order, Every Interaction: Small Changes in Dining and Retail Merchandise and food and beverage crew members handle millions of guest interactions a year, making them Disney Cruise Line’s strongest champions for daily change. By shifting away from single-use items, these teams have fundamentally changed how we sail: Retail Teams: By transitioning to reusable shopping bags, our merchandise crew has successfully eliminated the use of nearly 1 million plastic bags annually. Food & Beverage Teams: Teams have replaced plastic water bottles with recyclable aluminum options, managing refill stations across both guest and crew areas. They’ve also adapted to serving specialty coffees and drinks at 24-hour beverage stations in plastic-free, paper cups. “The culture was there to push us forward as a team,” Gary Latouche, director of hotel operations, merchandise, photography and spa, shared. “We made the lists, but it’s a real team effort to find solutions and put them into practice.” Operations teams are also looking beyond guest-facing areas to influence the supply chain. By partnering closely with vendors, purchasing teams now buy guest room towels in bulk, eliminating excess single-use plastic wrap before it ever boards the ship. This effort also includes reuseable Disney Cruise Line pallet covers that can now be seen replacing plastic wrap at the loading docks in Port Canaveral, Port Everglades and Singapore. These new protective covers have the same function but eliminate the need for single-use plastics to protect new merchandise inventory. Stateroom Hosts Leading the Charge Stateroom hosts are the heart of the onboard experience, and they are directly leading the implementation of waste-reduction efforts where guests feel it most. When delivering Disney Cruise Line Castaway Club loyalty gifts, hosts now distribute lanyards and amenities in paper-based packaging rather than traditional plastic sleeves—a transition that has removed over 3 million plastic sleeves from operations since 2024. Additionally, by maintaining and managing the refillable bath product dispensers in every stateroom, housekeeping teams help eliminate the distribution of more than 2.2 million plastic amenity containers every single year. “We’ve been working toward this for years and we are all really invested in meeting our goal, and the results show that,” Shelley Gold-Witiak, director of hotel operations & guest experience integration, said. Together, Anything is Possible The overarching sentiment is that this wouldn’t be possible without the shared goal and a team always looking to find solutions. For Melanie, manager of spa and operating participants, she hopes people take away that they can be part of the solution, even in small ways, every day. “To make a change, it takes every single one of us on this planet. It’s not one person, it’s not one team, it’s not one company. Whatever we do, we just hope that it’s inspiring,” Melanie said. Every milestone reached is a reflection of our crew’s shared passion for protecting the environment. It is the daily attention to detail from every individual that brings these goals to life.

  6. Packing for Disney World is harder than it seems. Sure, you know you need a park bag, but how do you know what type of park bag is going to be perfect for you? What’s your perfect backpack? No one style fits all when it comes to bags, but most people agree that you want something not too big that it’s cumbersome but not too small so that it won’t fit everything you need. We’ve tried out DOZENS of bags in the parks on all different kinds of days. Now, if you’re traveling with a larger group, you’ve got a lot you need to bring into the parks with you, or you want to double your carry-on backpack as your park bag, here are three of our favorite bags on Amazon right now that are all rated 5 stars. DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission.

Feeling Fancy? ©Amazon If you want a bag that can be used in multiple different ways, especially in fancier settings, like an upscale dining reservation, the Brown Leather Backpack is something you should look at. Now, this is NOT a bag you want to use for theme park days, since it could get dirty, but quick jaunts into the parks to get to a dining reservation or to snag some photos? That’s something we can get behind! Grab it here! Simple is Sometimes Best ©Amazon The Vera Bradley Women’s Microfiber Large Travel Backpack is a great choice for those who want something durable, can fit a ton of essentials for both work and play, and matches with basically any outfit.

  9. It might be hard to believe, but Pixar’s Cars movie is turning 20 this year (yep, we feel old right now). Well, Cars has remained a popular franchise for Disney, so much so that there’s an entire Cars Land in Disney California Adventure and a new Cars expansion called Piston Peak is coming to Disney World. KA-CHOW! To celebrate this big anniversary, the first Cars movie will be returning to theaters for a limited time. AND if you happen to go see it at AMC Theaters, you can also get yourself some brand new Cars souvenirs (and trust us, you’re going to want them). Cars will be returning to AMC Theaters on September 3rd, and to celebrate, AMC is releasing some SWEET Cars souvenirs, including a Piston Cup…that is actually a cup that comes with a fountain drink. BRILLIANT. But you can also get a Cars cup with a souvenir topper of one of your favorite Cars characters. OR you can splurge and get the brand-new Lightning McQueen Popcorn Bucket. Ka-Chow! ©AMC Cars originally premiered in 2006 and grossed $462 million worldwide, making it the sixth highest-grossing movie of that year. It received two Oscar nominations, including Best Animated Feature. It won both the Annie Award and Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film. ©Disney We celebrated the 20th anniversary of Cars earlier this year at the Daytona 500, which included photo ops with Lightning McQueen, some brand-new Cars souvenirs, an exclusive tour of a Daytona 500 garage, and chatting with some real NASCAR drivers. It was a great way to celebrate the movie. Look at all the merchandise!

  10. We have seen a LOT of expensive souvenirs in Disney World. From super-cool signed artwork to building your own lightsaber and droid to even some pricey dinners that have us doing a double-take, there are a lot of expensive items hiding throughout Disney World, but nothing like this. Naboo, Ahch-to, Navarro Mini Mugs We’re always on Amazon looking for incredible deals on Disney souvenirs you don’t want to miss, but when we saw the price of this, we said… “what?” DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Say hello to a $398 Starbucks Mug! ©Amazon Yes, you read that right. For whatever reason, this Starbucks “You Are Here’ for Hollywood Studios costs almost $400. It’s from 2017, but we definitely saw these in the parks for around $30. Hollywood Studios “You Are Here” mug (2015) We assume the markup is due to them not selling these anymore and this one being from 2017, but that’s still a steep price for a coffee cup. It might be the final one you need for your collection, but we would check other places before making this investment. check it out here In the meantime, make sure you keep following Disney Food Blog for more of our favorite souvenir finds — including the ones that are worth snatching up and others that you might want to skip on!

  11. Okay, let’s talk about DOLE Whip. It’s one of the most ICONIC treats in Disney Parks, and pretty much a MUST-EAT anytime you visit Disney World or Disneyland, right? It also comes in all kinds of treats, from the straight up classic DOLE Whip Pineapple Soft Serve to other flavors to floats to cupcakes. Pineapple DOLE Whip You can even find DOLE Whip in your local grocery store. Speaking of which, a NEW DOLE Whip product is coming to grocery stores soon, and you are either going to love it or hate it…DOLE Whip whipped cream. Now, we haven’t had an occasion where we were eating a dessert and thought, “You know what would make this better? DOLE Whip-flavored whipped topping!” However, maybe we’ll find some clever uses for it. Say, for example, pineapple whipped topping could be great on pineapple upside-down cake (although it’s even better with actual DOLE Whip). Pineapple Upside-down Cake from Aloha Isle Refreshments However, we can’t think of many other snacks this whipped topping might work with. This might be a case of just spraying it into your mouth like you did as a kid and eating it by itself? Who knows? It’s probably worth a try, so if you see it out there in the wild, grab a can and try it for yourself. We can’t wait to see if this will be available in more stores soon so we can get our hands on it! We’ll keep an eye out for more Disney-related snack news, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

  16. We’ve seen some pretty big anniversaries celebrated in Disney World, just over the past decade, including the MASSIVE Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration (which went on FOREVER), as well as The Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary Celebration. Let’s face it…Disney loves to celebrate, and there’s always a big party. Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom Well, another BIG Disney World anniversary is coming up soon. On October 1st, 2026, Disney World turns 55 years old, and we’ve already seen a sneak peek at what the 55th Anniversary logo will look like! Now, Disney World didn’t actually go out of its way to show us this new logo, but we noticed it when we were looking at upcoming merchandise drops. It was actually on a promo image of the new Cinderella doll that’s releasing on September 7th at The Disney Store to celebrate the event. ©Disney Here’s a closer look at the logo. It has the Walt Disney World logo at the top with a Florida pennant, the numbers 55, and the globe…and the 55 and globe make a Mickey Mouse head. ©Disney However, we’ve also seen another 55th Anniversary graphic that expands upon this logo, and it looks like we have the 55th Anniversary theme as well: “55 Magical Years of Storytelling.” This was from a special D23 event happening on October 4th. ©Disney So what does this mean? Well, Disney doesn’t seem to be going all out for its 55th birthday like it did for its 50th, but we can imagine that we’ll at least see some other merchandise drops in addition to the Cinderella drop over the next few months. We are hoping that Disney World releases some special snacks for the occasion, though that might just be our own wishful thinking, but still…if you’re paying attention, Disney…WE WANT SPECIAL SNACKS. The 50th Anniversary snacks were EPIC We’ll be keeping an eye out for more Disney World anniversary news, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

  17. Magic Kingdom has been making some MASSIVE changes. We’ve seen both Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad get HUGE updates. Villains Land is being built behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Piston Peak is being built in Frontierland. But we have yet another change to warn you about soon, too. The Walt Disney World Railroad The Walt Disney World Railroad is set to close soon, so if you have plans to ride this attraction, you’ll want to make note! According to the Disney World calendar, The Walt Disney World Railroad is set to close on September 28th. However, the good news is that the closure doesn’t seem to be for too long: the calendar shows it reopening on October 30th. This is probably just a refurbishment, so we don’t expect to see any big changes with the attraction. Walt Disney World Railroad The Walt Disney World Railroad is an opening day attraction in Magic Kingdom that operates with historic steam locomotives. It takes a round trip around Magic Kingdom and consists of four locomotives with five passenger cars each. Each train can hold about 365 people. WDW Railroad car The railroad has three stations: Main Street, U.S.A., Frontierland, and Fantasyland. Usually, you can take a loop around the park, but due to construction in Frontierland, the railroad is operating in shuttle mode only: from Main Street, U.S.A. to Fantasyland and back again. Still, it’s a great way to save your feet if you don’t want to walk through the park. Main Street Station We’ll keep an eye out for more closures in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more. 2 Disney World Rides Will Be Closed for Refurbishment in September Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

  18. Keeping Disney World rides in tip-top shape takes a lot of work, and sometimes that means attractions need to close to make it happen. Of course, it’s never fun to get to a Disney park and realize one of your favorite rides is closed, which is why we always keep an eye on the refurbishment calendar to know what closures are coming up and when. It can save you a ton of heartache in the long run and help you prepare for your upcoming trip. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Of course, if you don’t want to keep up with the calendar on your own, you can always check DFB! Speaking of which, one of Magic Kingdom’s popular rides is closing in November for refurbishment, and we’ve got all the details you need to know. Heads up! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will be closing for refurbishment on November 2nd, according to the Disney World refurbishment calendar. As of now, there is no word on when it might reopen, but we’ll be keeping an eye on the calendar for any updates. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure In addition to the closure of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, Tiana’s Bayou General and Critter Co-Op will also be closing on November 2nd. These two gift shops feature Princess and the Frog merchandise along with other general Disney souvenirs. Critter Co-Op Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is a thrilling water ride that took over what once was Splash Mountain. It opened in Disney World on June 28th, 2024, meaning it’s over two years old! This is the first major refurbishment for the ride, and while Disney hasn’t shared any details about what the closure is for, it’s likely for general maintenance. The ride has had some mishaps with its animatronics pretty much since it opened, so it’s possible that this closure will address some of these issues (we can only hope!). Tiana animatronic As far as other ride closures go in Magic Kingdom, the Carousel of Progress is currently closed as Disney works to revamp it. Each scene of the ride is being completely updated to represent new decades. The first act will be set in the 1960s, starting with the moon landing in 1969. The second act will be in the 1980s, with Sarah showing off her latest kitchen gadgets and appliances. The third act will take us to 1999 on New Year’s Eve (cue Prince song here). A fourth act will show a possible future. Carousel of Progress Concept Art ©Disney We’ll be on the lookout for more Disney World ride refurbishments you need to know about and beyond.

  19. Every year, thousands of people walk into the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival with a beautiful, reasonable goal: eat a few things, drink something fun, maybe complete a cheese crawl, and make it back to Spaceship Earth without needing to loosen their waistband. We are not those people. Food & Wine Opening Day On opening day, the DFB team arrives at EPCOT with phones charged, portable batteries packed, assignments made, spreadsheets open, food trays ready, and the collective determination to eat, photograph, film, review, and document essentially the ENTIRE festival. And then, while our reporters are sprinting around World Showcase carrying six plates and a rapidly melting dessert, there’s another team at home downloading photos, editing video, writing reviews, updating pages, building social posts, and sending increasingly frantic messages asking, “DID THE CHEESE PHOTO UPLOAD?” DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. It’s fun. It’s also absolute chaos. And somehow, every year, we do it again. So, how exactly do we cover 30+ EPCOT Food & Wine Festival booths in one day? Grab a tiny plastic fork. We’re taking you backstage. It Starts MONTHS Before the Festival Opening day may be the main event, but our Food & Wine Festival coverage starts long before anyone hands us our first suspiciously tiny $9 plate. Usually about five months before the festival begins, we start watching for Disney to officially confirm the dates. Then we watch. And watch. And WATCH. Food & Wine Festival At first, we’re checking weekly for announcements. As the festival gets closer, that becomes daily. We’re watching official Disney websites, Disney social media accounts, press releases, videos, and pretty much anywhere Disney might quietly drop a detail it assumes nobody will notice. We notice. A casual sentence in a Disney Parks video mentioning a new seminar? Noted. A restaurant quietly adding a festival brunch? Got it. A merchandise preview hiding a festival logo in the background? Hello, new browser tab. Food & Wine Festival Booths, entertainment, special meals, seminars, merchandise, scavenger hunts, dining packages…if Disney announces it, hints at it, whispers it into the Florida humidity, somebody on our team is probably writing it down, and then broadcasting it to the whole company “BREAKING FESTIVAL NEWS.” And then the rest of us log in with our magnifying glasses and conspiracy theories to see if this suspicious hint in the blurry background of a photo is actually a clue. Then the Menus Arrive This is where things get serious. Once Disney officially announces the Global Marketplace booths and their menus, our team starts digging through every single item. Passport And we aren’t just comparing this year’s menu with last year’s. DFB has been covering the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival since 2009. We have RECEIPTS. Editors from the website and our guidebooks work with the social team to investigate basically everything Disney has decided to put on a festival plate. Is this actually a new dish? Was something remarkably similar served four years ago under a slightly different name? Have we eaten it before? Did we love it? Did we hate it? Was it once a Best of the Fest contender? Has the recipe changed? Has the presentation changed? Did Disney add a drizzle of sauce and decide this is now an entirely different entrée? We know your tricks, EPCOT. If something is genuinely new, we’re almost certainly getting it. And even when something is returning, we often get it again because recipes, portion sizes, presentations, and quality can change from year to year. This is how we generally end up purchasing somewhere in the neighborhood of 94% of the festival. Yes. Ninety-four percent. Including a LOT of beverages. Full Spread 2023 Opening day is not the moment to discover your assigned booth has three beer flights. We Build the Festival Battle Plan Once we know what we need to try, everything goes into what can only be described as the Festival Plan Cauldron. Editors have priorities. Social media has priorities. The video team has priorities. Our guidebooks need information. And somewhere in there, several dozen menu items are staring back at us, demanding to be eaten before somebody melts into World Showcase Lagoon. Finisher Prize Then we figure out who is going to EPCOT. That sounds simple until you remember our reporters are actual human beings. Some have food allergies. Some have dietary restrictions. Some don’t drink alcohol. Some have foods they simply cannot or will not eat. So we make sure assignments work for the people actually covering them. Grilled Bushberry-spiced Shrimp Skewer And reporters who can’t eat much at a particular festival? They’re still BUSY. Food is only one part of an EPCOT festival. Someone needs photos of the decorations, entertainment, crowds, merchandise, scavenger hunts, festival passports, and all those little details that make EPCOT feel different during festival season. Yes, Germany’s tiny train town might make the assignment list. The trains deserve journalism, too. The mug has a Mickey glove handle! We also make sure everyone has the appropriate park admission and reservations they need because there would be something particularly tragic about spending months planning opening-day coverage only to have someone standing outside EPCOT texting, “So…tiny problem.” The Home Team Starts Cooking, Too While reporters are preparing for EPCOT, a huge chunk of the operation is happening nowhere near Disney World. This is the part you don’t see when a review suddenly appears on DFB approximately seventeen seconds after somebody has finished swallowing. Pumpkin Before opening day, we assemble the whole team for an all-hands-on-deck type of day. The Social team is ready. Video editors are ready. Photo editors are ready. Website editors are ready. Scriptwriters are ready. Our guidebook team is ready. Gyoza of the Galaxy Full Spread 2026 And then there is our Festival Queen, sitting at the center of this enormous information spiderweb, directing photos, videos, tasting notes, assignments, updates, and approximately eight thousand other moving pieces toward the correct people. Opening day requires reporters, editors, writers, photographers, video editors, scriptwriters, social media professionals, designers, and more. It takes a village. A village with big opinions about the cheese soup. Festival Morning Starts EARLY Eventually, opening day arrives. For our EPCOT reporters, that means getting to the park bright and early. World Showcase and most of its festival booths may not open until later in the morning, but the festival itself is already waking up. There are decorations to photograph. Festival passports to find. Merchandise to inspect. Entertainment to document. And locations like Connections Café & Eatery or Sunshine Seasons may already have festival offerings available. Banner We do not waste perfectly good festival hours. While reporters gather that early information, the home team is already online. Writers are waiting for tasting notes. Photo editors are watching upload folders. Social media is waiting for video. Editors are updating festival pages. The video team is grabbing footage. Scriptwriters are assembling information for upcoming videos. Mickey-shaped Celebration Macaron Then World Showcase opens. And all heck breaks loose. Eat. Photograph. Upload. Repeat. Our Reporters Come PREPARED Festival opening day is not the time to realize your phone battery is at 11%. Your phone is your camera, notebook, video recorder, communication system, upload device, map, and occasionally the object you stare at while wondering why one photo is taking SIX MINUTES TO UPLOAD. Park essentials So our reporters arrive prepared: Portable chargers are non-negotiable. Sometimes multiple portable chargers. Food trays are enormously helpful because one person may suddenly find themselves carrying enough festival food to cater a small wedding. Wet wipes are essential for messy hands, sticky tables, and desserts that did not survive their glamour shots. Hand sanitizer? Obviously. Travel cutlery can save the day when a booth runs out of disposable forks approximately two bites before you desperately need one. Then there’s the standard Florida survival gear: ponchos, umbrellas, neck fans, portable fans, and whatever else prevents opening-day reporting from turning into EPCOT Survivor. Mini tripods help capture those cheese pulls and close-up shots you see online. Soft cloths keep phone screens and camera lenses clean. Get a food tray! And one particularly underrated piece of equipment is a phone cooling case. Phones overheat in Florida. A LOT. Normally, you can put your phone down for a while and let it recover. On festival day? Absolutely not. There are 47 notifications waiting, three photos uploading, a writer asking whether the sauce was spicy, social media needs that vertical video, and your next booth assignment is calling. Your phone cannot take a spa break. Meanwhile, At Home… The home team has its own version of festival survival. It involves fewer portable fans and significantly more staring at progress bars. Caramel-Apple Cheesecake Baumkuchen Imagine the perfect food photo finally coming through. You download it, edit it, save it, upload it…and then realize there was another angle you liked better. You JUST saw it, but in the time it took to finish that one photo, 38 more have arrived, somebody sent over tasting notes, Slack has lit up with six new notifications, a video file dropped into the folder, and an editor is waiting on the article. Naturally, this is also the exact moment your photo-editing software decides it needs an update. Before long, even stepping away from your desk to go to the bathroom starts to feel like abandoning your post in the middle of battle. Cider flight Opening-day coverage has a very specific rhythm. “I’ll just finish this one thing.” Famous last words. Constant Communication Is Everything Throughout the day, the reporters and home team are essentially attached by an invisible information leash. Where are you? Did you get the photo? Did that upload? Is the booth sold out? Can you grab another angle? Was that spicy? Which beer is which in this flight? Was there alcohol in that? Did the portion seem smaller? Can you photograph the sign? Is it raining? WHY IS IT RAINING SIDEWAYS? Okay, Florida, you can stop being so Florida now Plans also change constantly. A booth can run out of something. A menu item may suddenly be unavailable. Crowds may explode in one area. Florida can drop an entire bathtub of rain on EPCOT without consulting our schedule. Sometimes a reporter finishes early and jumps over to help someone else. Sometimes an assignment gets shifted. Sometimes somebody’s meticulously photographed food becomes lunch for an extremely ambitious bird. We adapt. Mostly because there is no other option. Be wary, he might after your fries. Eventually, Everyone Gets VERY Full There comes a point during every festival coverage day when eating stops sounding like a reward. This is hard to explain until you’ve spent hours tasting bite after bite after bite after bite. One more slider. One more dumpling. One more dessert. One more cocktail. One more spoonful of something involving truffle. Eventually, someone announces that they physically cannot consume another morsel. And then somebody else checks the assignment sheet. There are four booths left. Godspeed. Full Spread at 2025 Primavera Kitchen This is also why having a team matters so much. Nobody should have to personally consume an entire EPCOT festival. We divide, conquer, share bites, compare opinions, and occasionally stare at the next plate with the forlorn expression of someone who once believed unlimited festival food sounded exciting. Then We Do It All Again By the end of opening day, everyone is exhausted. The reporters have walked miles through EPCOT in the Florida heat while eating enough small plates to build one enormous, deeply confusing meal. The home team has spent hours writing, editing, cropping, uploading, publishing, updating, messaging, and trying to remember whether the ravioli photo was IMG_4827 or IMG_4872. There have probably been technical problems. There may have been rain. Something almost certainly melted. Someone has probably spilled a beverage into a bag. And somewhere along the way, a bird committed a misdemeanor. That’s one way to carry food in your park bag… But we also got to spend the entire day talking about Disney food with people who care about it every bit as much as we do. That’s the weird little secret behind these massive festival days. Yes, they’re stressful. They are LONG. There are moments when everyone involved is one failed upload away from wishing they’d never heard of Adobe Lightroom. Full spread But they’re also ridiculously fun. Our coworkers are texting encouragement from across EPCOT. Someone at home is celebrating because the photo finally uploaded. Reporters are helping other reporters finish their assignments. Writers are shouting virtually about an unexpectedly great dish. The social team is watching everyone fall in love with something we tasted 20 minutes earlier. And by the end of the day, we’ve somehow taken one enormous, messy, delicious festival and turned it into reviews, photos, videos, guides, posts, updates, and recommendations that can help YOU decide what’s actually worth your money. Full spread We get paid to eat Disney food and go to Disney World. There are worse jobs. Even when there is bubble tea in your backpack. So the next time you see us declare something Best of the Fest just hours after the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival opens, know there was an entire tiny-food command center behind it. And probably one very tired reporter asking whether they really have to eat another dessert. Yes. Yes, they do.

  23. Disney made a litany of announcements at the 2026 D23 Ultimate Fan Event, revealing new details on upcoming theme lands, a new class of Disney Cruise Line ships, and even some major surprises. However, few could be described as more “long-awaited” than the confirmation that the Yeti on Expedition Everest was FINALLY going to be fixed. Expedition Everest When the Animal Kingdom coaster first opened in 2006, the Yeti animatronic was hailed as the largest and most advanced Disney had ever built. The massive free-moving animatronic Yeti in the center of the “Forbidden Mountain” was one of the ride’s main promotional points teased in commercials and being discussed in Travel Channel documentaries. However, within months of opening, the Yeti was stuck in B-Mode. The animatronic was unmoving, with strobe lights pulsating to give the illusion of movement, hence the nom de plume “Disco Yeti”). This was allegedly due to structural damage the powerful animatronic was doing to the mountain when fully operational over the years. Disney officials, including Joe Rohde himself, made numerous claims that the Yeti was going to be fixed, but nothing came of them officially… until NOW! While the announcement and performance were met with a massively positive reaction, Disney didn’t confirm many major details of the project, including whether the Yeti animatronic was being fully replaced, or even a timeline for when the project was set to begin. However, for the latter, we can extrapolate an estimate. ©Disney Whether the Yeti is being fully replaced or simply reworked, it stands to reason that Expedition Everest is going to be closed for some period of time during the refurbishment. That seems unlikely to happen right now, since the coaster is one of only 5 rides currently operating at Animal Kingdom during the construction of Tropical Americas. Cranes! That new land – – complete with the new rides Antonio’s Fiesta de Encanto, Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent, and El Carrusel de los Animalitos (AKA The Little Animals’ Carousel) – – is scheduled to open in 2027. Once those three attractions are up and running in the faux village of Pueblo Esperanza, it will be much easier for Disney to close Expedition Everest for even a semi-extended period of time to fix the Yeti. We’re so excited for this to open! While Disney has confirmed that they’ll finally be fixing the star animatronic on Expedition Everest, you’ll likely still be able to boogie down with the “Disco Yeti” through sometime in 2027.

  24. Staying at a Disney World hotel on your trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth comes with a TON of perks. Typhoon Lagoon When you stay on-site at Disney, you can get benefits like Early Theme Park Entry each day, plus Extended Evening Hours depending on which at which hotel you stay, and the 7-day booking window for Lightning Lanes. Being closer to the parks is a huge perk, and you can enjoy free transportation as well. Hotel guests could also take advantage of free tickets to Disney’s water parks throughout this summer, but that perk is ending soon, and Typhoon Lagoon is also closing for annual refurbishment soon! Heads up, water park fans! Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park will be closing on September 9th for its annual refurbishment. Guests will be able to enjoy Blizzard Beach during the closure, and it’s expected that when Typhoon Lagoon reopens in the following months, Blizzard Beach will then close for its refurbishment. That way, come spring and summer of 2027, both water parks will be open again. Typhoon Lagoon Disney World has been offering free water park entry to resort guests on their check-in day, from May 26th, 2026 through September 8th, 2026. As long as Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon are open, everyone staying in your Disney World hotel room can access these water parks for free on check-in day! It’s a great way to spend your check-in day, especially if you didn’t already have plans. Typhoon Lagoon But once September 9th hits and Cool Kids’ Summer comes to an end, this perk will no longer be available. The good news is that Disney has confirmed it will return for summer 2027. We can’t wait! Stitch at Typhoon Lagoon We’ll be on the lookout for even more Disney World hotel perk updates you need to know about.

  25. Disney World has dozens of construction projects happening right now, but some of the largest ones are happening across the parks. ©Disney EPCOT is currently the only park not with a massive land addition in the works, and Magic Kingdom has TWO new lands in the works as we speak. One of those lands is Piston Peak, the new Cars-themed area on the way, and Disney just took a big step forward in planning for construction, though it may not look like it. Why? Well, because it just looked like giant balloons in the air, but they were VERY important. It was also their job to look at the concept art and remember what part of the land would be where each balloon was, and think about how it’ll blend in with the land around it. For example, will the snow-capped mountain block views of Cinderella Castle from the land, or other areas of the park, and will it blend in with Cinderella Castle’s recent lighter paint job from afar? How about some of the new buildings — will they blend in with the rest of Frontierland, and even Haunted Mansion since it’s gotten a paint job? Yes, Imagineers have to think about all of this BEFORE the construction actually begins. ©Disney Yes, this also very likely means that balloon tests are completed for lots of major new land additions, such as Villains Land (though that one may not have happened yet) and Galaxy’s Edge. Ever noticed how seamlessly lands sometimes turn into one another, or how it’s hard to see Disney’s Contemporary Resort from certain parts of Magic Kingdom? It’s part of the planning process, and we love hearing about what happens behind the scenes. ©Disney We can’t wait to keep a close eye on all the latest construction updates happening around Disney World and beyond, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB!

  28. It’s time to get scary… and scared! Halloween Horror Nights has officially arrived at Universal Orlando, and we are THERE on the very first night. Of course, we’re checking out all the haunted houses, but more importantly, we’re checking out all the food. Meat Grinder Red Velvet Halloween Horror Nights runs on select nights in August, September, and October through November 1st at Universal Studios Florida, and the event features exclusive food and drinks you can’t get at the parks during the day. So let’s talk about everything we ate and drank at the party! We’re starting with the Birria Pizza Fries at the DreamWorks Imagination Cafe for $13.99. These are French fries topped with birria beef, mozzarella cheese, onions, and cilantro. Birria Pizza Fries The Birria is melt-in-your-mouth tender, with quite a good portion of Birria. The cheese is nice and melted, and every fry had a good amount of cheese. The diced onions on top add a little crunch, and the chopped cilantro has that soapy flavor, so you might not like these if you’re not a cilantro fan. However, we think these are a hit, and would like to see them return next year! Birria Pizza Fries To satisfy our frightful sweet tooth, we made our way over to Fearful Fare to try the Meat Grinder Red Velvet for $8.99. Now, this thing is… well… it looks gross. It’s freshly ground red velvet cake with cream cheese icing and puffed rice maggots. You have to give Universal an A+ for most terrifying food presentation, right? Meat Grinder Red Velvet Texturally, this was straight mush. It’s a very soft, mushy cake topped with a ton of soft frosting. There weren’t enough puffed rice pieces to add a substantial crunch. Taste-wise, this was very yummy chocolate cake, and the red sauce was a sweet strawberry sauce. If you like chocolate cake, then it’s a fun twist on a classic, but you probably won’t like it if you need some bite in your dessert. Meat Grinder Red Velvet We’ll be covering EVERYTHING at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
