There has been an update on Starcruiser availability, see the latest updates below in red. Now THIS is an interesting turn of events! Let’s walk you through the latest mind-boggling news of the day. Wow, just wow. So recently, Disney dropped a HUGE news bomb that many people did NOT see coming: Disney decided to close the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser later this year. The news sparked a hot discussion on Disney’s rising prices and potential falling demand both in the parks and at the resorts. But now, the plot thickens! Between the day that the news broke back on May 18th through May 25th, new bookings were temporarily paused. Then, on May 26th, Disney opened up its Star Wars hotel booking availability to anyone. The final voyage for the Star Wars Hotel will be September 28th-30th, 2023, though that date sold out before booking was open to the general public. Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Fast-forward to May 26th — the first new booking day. Things were…chaotic, to say the least. A voyage on the Galactic Starcruiser can only be booked over the phone, and the phone lines were very busy. When we tried calling the Starcruiser-specific phone number, the call wouldn’t go through. We couldn’t live chat on the website, either! If you want to book a stay, good luck; it’s pretty challenging! Ouannii Throughout the day, we kept our eyes on the calendar to see if any more dates sold out. Well, it turns out that the ol’ FOMO principle is strong with Star Wars fans because SEVERAL dates have already sold out. Take a look at all those blocked-out dates! ©Disney Turns out all it takes is the threat of an impending closure to prompt new sales, huh, Disney? As of now, only four dates are still available to book, including May 29th, May 31st, June 4th, and June 12th. Keep in mind that things could change if people cancel their reservations, but for now, the calendar is filling up FAST! Crown of Corellia Dining Room UPDATE! As of 5:25PM ET on May 26th, the availability calendar seems to have DISAPPEARED from the Starcruiser website. Though pricing information remains, along with Disney’s message about them experiencing a “high call volume” for bookings, the calendar that once displayed the remaining available dates is gone. It’s possible that all dates have sold out but that has not been officially confirmed yet. We will watch for updates and share information with you as we get more details. Keep in mind that even if all dates are currently sold out, some availability may open in the future if there are cancelations, so you’ll want to continue to watch for updates there. Holo Sabacc Table We will continue to keep our eyes out for additional updates. In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more!

We just found a unique churro — who wants to see it?! Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure certainly have had their fair share of news lately with fun popcorn buckets like the Mickey Mouse Perfect Picnic popcorn bucket and a new Ariel meet and greet debuting in the parks based on the live-action movie, but Disney’s latest addition is one that we feel like might cause a stir! On a recent visit out to Disney California Adventure, we stopped by the churro cart near Award Weiners to try out their latest creation. Allow us to introduce you to the Bacon PB& J Churro! Now THAT is a combination. Would you try the Bacon PB&J Churro? If you’re reading this and thinking, “How could they possibly pull this off?” well, here’s the breakdown. This new creation consists of a classic Disney churro rolled in banana sugar, drizzled with peanut butter and Jelly, and topped with crispy bacon. Oooh! This looks interesting! So we dug in… and were pleasantly surprised! All of the flavors here work really well together! The bacon was crunchy and kind of salty. It certainly gave us more of a savory snack vibe. Then the jelly had a sweet and fresh taste along with the creamy peanut butter. Churro cart by Award Wieners If you’re wondering about how the banana fit in with the rest of the flavors, we didn’t taste much of the banana sugar, but there were hints of banana in some bites. Since it all worked so well together, it really was difficult finding fault with this one. If you’re not a fan of sweet and savory flavors battling in the same snack or just prefer a classic churro with less going on with it, this one is probably a snack you’ll want to skip. Some may prefer a plain churro! If this sounds like just the right twist of a peanut butter and jelly spin, then you can pick one up for $6.75. We try out all the latest snacks around the Disney parks to help you decide on what’s best to try for your next Disney trip, so for the latest in Disney foodie news, stay with us at Disney Food Blog!

The day we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived — Disney’s live-action The Little Mermaid remake is here! ©Disney We’ve been preparing by watching the trailers, getting some behind-the-scenes sneak peeks, and even doing our makeup like the iconic princess.

Halle Bailey In Hollywood Studios, you’ll be able to meet the live-action Ariel in Walt Disney Presents. This is the same spot that was previously being used for a Sulley meet and greet. Walt Disney Presents And if you’re over in Disneyland, you can find her at the promenade near “it’s a small world”. “it’s a small world” Now, let us walk you through our experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We got in line to meet Ariel bright and early, but the line was super long on opening day. It’s a good thing we have feet and not a tail because we stood in line for a LONG time. The posted wait time was 60 minutes, but we ended up waiting 95 minutes. It was so lovely to get to know Ariel. She was bright and bubbly and so much fun to meet! Ariel was so sweet! While we’re at it, can we take a moment to appreciate the new outfit? It’s beautiful! Can you tell we had a GREAT time?! Look at that DRESS!

So, you want to go on a Disney Cruise? Donald and Captain Mickey We totally get it. A tropical escape, Disney-themed dining, AND getting to see Mickey and Minnie in their captain attire? Sign us up. But, there’s a pretty big situation that you might face on select Disney cruises: hurricanes. Thinking about booking a cruise during hurricane season? Read this first. Is it Safe? First things first, hurricane season in the Atlantic runs from June 1st through November 30th. That’s a pretty long time and includes a big section of the year that many families like to travel — summer vacation! So, is going on a cruise during this time of year even safe? Castaway Cay You’d be surprised how well cruise lines are able to handle hurricanes. Planning a trip during this season is actually pretty safe because hurricanes are really well-tracked. Meteorologists can spot them days, if not weeks, in advance, and cruise lines are able to adjust course if they need to to avoid any danger. Time to set sail! Cruise ships can delay the trip a bit so that it has time to pass, stay in port longer than planned, or take a different route altogether to avoid the storm. So, you’re unlikely to ever be in an unsafe position if a hurricane occurs during your scheduled trip. Will My Cruise Get Canceled? Since there are so many ways to manage an unexpected hurricane, it is actually pretty rare for a cruise to get canceled. Cruise lines would much rather adjust course than call off the cruise entirely — so they do! Disney Magic They will often change the itinerary, route, or departure port or delay the trip for a few days instead of canceling a cruise. So, it’s unlikely that your trip will be canceled if a hurricane forms, but, it can definitely be changed. Views aboard the Disney Dream! Your departure date could be moved up or pushed back, you might spend more or less time at port, or you may even go to different ports altogether. Disney Dream However, there is a small chance that your cruise could be canceled if the situation calls for it, so you should keep that in mind when making plans. It’s a good idea to get travel insurance to deal with any changes you need to make to your airfare, rental car, hotel, or other travel plans surrounding your cruise. Will I Get My Money Back? So, in the rare occurrence that Disney actually cancels your cruise, they will issue a refund. Occasionally, they might even offer you a discount on a future cruise. But, if you are booking through a third party — make sure you do your research on their cancelation policy! Disney Cruise Line However, refund policies get a little trickier if the cruise hasn’t been canceled. As we said, the cruise line may decide to move the timeline for the cruise by a few days in order to avoid the storm. Flight plans, rental cars, and other travel accommodations that you have made in order to make the cruise will have to be adjusted, too — so make sure you look into all of the cancelation policies for these services! Disney Dream According to Disney, “If Disney Cruise Line cancels your cruise or delays your cruise for more than three calendar days, and you do not accept an alternative cruise or choose not to travel on a delayed cruise, you may request a refund or a cruise credit by emailing Disney Cruise Line at Caserequest@disneycruise.com.” Castaway Cay Requests for these refunds must be made within 90 days of the scheduled sail date and must include a copy of the cruise confirmation, proof and amount of payment, and cancellation or delay notice. And, keep in mind, that if you decide to cancel the cruise because you are concerned about a hurricane, typical cancellation policies should apply. Disney Wish pool So, you will be able to get a refund if they change the dates of your cruise in certain situations, but if this level of flexibility isn’t ideal for your group, you might want to reconsider taking a cruise during hurricane season on this part of the map. Disney Cruise Line As always, make sure you do your due diligence when planning a Disney cruise during hurricane season.

As you may already know, Disney World has announced that they’ll be closing the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel later this year. Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Atrium The experience opened in March 2022, and it was truly one-of-a-kind. Similar to a cruise, you stay “onboard” the Halcyon Starcruiser for two days while you live out a Star Wars story and participate in activities, watch entertainment offerings, and have all your meals in the dining room. But the experience didn’t perform as well as Disney hoped, and now it’s set to close. Bookings reopened for the final voyages today, and if you’re trying to plan one last trip, we have some bad news. When Disney announced the closure, they paused bookings for a few days so that those who booked for October-December could sort out their trips and change their travel dates if need be. Bookings reopened on the morning of May 26th, and it has been chaotic to say the least. Crowds in the Galactic Starcruiser’s Atrium The Galactic Starcruiser can only be booked over the phone, and as such, the phone lines have been incredibly busy today. When we tried calling the Starcruiser-specific number, the call wouldn’t go through and we couldn’t chat on the website either. We’ve also heard reports of travel agents having difficulties as well. Some who tried were left on hold for several hours before being told that the Galactic Starcruiser phone lines were full. Crown of Corellia Dining Room We’ve been monitoring the Disney World website closely to see what availability for the Starcruiser looks like in the coming months, and as of the time of publishing, there are still several voyages available to book. We’ll continue checking to see if more sell out. ©Disney So if you’re trying to plan a trip to “space” today, you’ll likely be facing some challenges. The final Starcruiser voyage is set for September 28th-30th, so we’re interested to see if all the voyages fill up until then. Stay tuned to DFB for the latest news and updates from Disney World! We’ve got you covered with everything you need to know for your upcoming trip. Click Here for Our Full Guide to the Hotel!

But, we’ve eaten at every single restaurant in Disney World and are sharing all of the new ones that might have opened since your last trip! Before we get into the new restaurants you might have missed, did you hear that the Disney Dining Plan is coming back in 2024?! We’ve got a ton of info about the dining plan and how you can best use it to your advantage, and you can check it all out right here.

Roundup Rodeo BBQ Roundup Rodeo BBQ is a new Table Service restaurant in Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Roundup Rodeo BBQ takes guests on a rootin’ tootin’ dining experience in a new play area: a RODEO arena, created by Andy himself. Andy has taken some of his favorite games and play sets to create the scene with both Western toys and other items coming together to make a bright and colorful mash-up atmosphere. Roundup Rodeo BBQ You’ll dine among “play sets” of a western town and train station while rodeo festivities take place during the meal of All-You-Care-to-Enjoy BBQ fare served family-style! Platters feature house-smoked meats, classic sides, and miniature “sweet surprises,” and you can see the FULL MENU with food photos here. FOOD!!! This is a great spot for folks looking to eat a LOT of different food all for one price. There are plenty of different items to sample on the menu like pork, brisket, chicken, sausage, and so many sides you probably won’t even get to them all! Click Here for Our FULL REVIEW of Roundup Rodeo BBQ Energy Bytes This kiosk — located by TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom — serves up quick bites throughout the day, including breakfast! Morning visitors can look forward to doughnuts and cold brew coffee. The rest of the day features savory options including Digital Dumplings in both Buffalo Chicken and Beef & Broccoli varieties. NEW Energy Bytes stand Sweets include Strawberry IceOform featuring strawberry ice cream mochi and a frozen Watermelon Refresher. The Strawberry IceOform was the perfect blend of cheesecake and ice cream! The strawberry gel at the bottom offered a nice tang that pairs well with the sweet cheesecake foam. If you don’t enjoy the chewy texture of traditional mochi, you might want to avoid this dish. Strawberry IceOform! When we tried them, these bites were a new and exciting addition to Magic Kingdom and overall pretty tasty! Check Out Our Full Review of Energy Bytes Here Rosa Mexicano Rosa Mexicano is a chain restaurant that has opened its first Orlando-area location at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin! The new restaurant offers “an elevated fiesta dining experience” which includes signature menu items and award-winning margaritas. Rosa Mexicano The menu at Rosa Mexicano offers a contemporary interpretation of authentic Mexican cuisine which includes beloved classics and innovative dishes that pay tribute to Mexico’s richly varied culinary regions. Over 100 varieties of tequila and agave-based spirits are featured. The restaurant’s signature frozen pomegranate margarita (which was named the best in New York City!) is also available. Rosa Mexicano Spread When we dined there, we had a really good experience at Rosa Mexicano. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The setting was really great, with those beautiful windows, unique artwork, and upbeat music. Plus the food was good, with the Roasted Chicken Suizas being a real highlight. Check Out Our Full Rosa Mexicano Review Here BoardWalk Deli The BoardWalk Bakery at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Resort was transformed into BoardWalk Deli in 2022, but still serves up some yummy baked goods! Select favorites from BoardWalk Bakery are served at the Deli, including the Brownie Cheesecake, Coconut Macaroon, and the Cookies & Cream Cupcake! BoardWalk Deli Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are offered, and guests enjoy items like house-baked bagels, an “overstuffed warm pastrami Reuben” or a hand-piped cannoli. BoardWalk Deli spread The menu isn’t completely unique or groundbreaking, but most of what we ate, we really liked. We highly recommend those bagel sandwiches and the Cinnamon Yummy. Our least favorites were definitely the half-moon cookie, the banana bread, and the underseasoned ciabatta sandwich. We hope to try more of those pastries in the future! See Our Full Review of BoardWalk Deli Here Carousel Coffee You can find Carousel Coffee at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, located just off the lobby. Coffee (by Joffrey’s!), tea, and pastries are on offer. Keep an eye out for seasonal drinks and unique options like a Dark Cherry Mocha Frozen Blended Coffee (which Disney shares are a flavor staple of “coffee shops, family-owned delis, and ice cream parlors along the shores” in keeping with the BoardWalk’s vintage seaside theme). Carousel Coffee As far as the eats, you can grab classic snacks such as the Vintage Mickey & Minnie Sugar Cookie, Banana Bread, Croissants, Muffins, NJ Crumb Cake, Bagels, and a Mickey Brownie up for grabs. Carousel Coffee Carousel Coffee is a great option for coffee and snacks just steps outside of EPCOT. While everything we tried was pretty sweet, we did enjoy everything we had (though the sugar cookie wasn’t our favorite!). Give Carousel Coffee a try if you’re staying at the BoardWalk or another nearby resort, or if you find yourself walking on Disney’s BoardWalk. Click Here for Our Full Carousel Coffe Review Salt & Straw Salt & Straw is scooping up its unique signature ice cream flavors on the West Side of Disney Springs!

The cuisine at Amare focuses on fresh, premium ingredients, seafood, citrus, olive oils, pasta, and pitas. There is also an extensive Mediterranean-based wine list available, including specialized wine flights. You’ll find breakfast, lunch, and dinner here.

Dinner selections feature items like hearth-fired Tiger Prawns and charred octopus, sea bass al cartoccio, and handmade manti dumpling filled with baharat spiced lamb, cauliflower, roasted eggplant, tomato, and yogurt sauce. Amare dinner We really liked Amare, but we’re not sure if everyone will. This restaurant probably isn’t for everybody, because some of the food items are more on the unique side and may not be the most approachable. If you have picky eaters in your party, this restaurant may not satisfy the whole group, so definitely take that into consideration before making a reservation. See Our Full Review of Amare at the Swan Reserve Don’t worry — you’ll have plenty more spots to try on your next trip to Disney World, and more restaurants are on the way, too! Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya will be a table-service restaurant coming to EPCOT this summer, Summer House on the Lake will open in “late 2023” at Disney Springs, and The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers will be coming to Disney’s BoardWalk in 2023.

The service is arriving under new ownership after the past owners filed for bankruptcy, and with the new ownership comes some new structuring. Let’s check it out!

Disney truly has a way of making us all feel like royalty from time to time. Just living out the royal fantasies While some of you might be imagining sweaty humans all packed together in a closely-quartered queue to ride a children’s ride and thinking that it doesn’t seem like royal treatment, we’re talking about some special events that Disney hosts that just seem to make things a bit more… magical. One of those occasions is World Princess Week! World Princess Week celebrates Disney Princesses, real-life princesses, and the spirit of girlhood by showcasing all that we are and all that inspires us to dream big, live courageously, and love those around us — just like the Disney Princesses in the films! (That was a little cheesy, but sometimes it’s about more than just a theme park and some cool movies, yanno?) Disney World celebrates all week long with snacks, special merchandise, and this year — a royal ball. Anna and Elsa Cookie This year, Princess Week will take place from August 20th through August 26th. While we don’t have many specific details yet, we do know a few specifics on the ball that will debut this year. Princess Tiana The Once Upon A Wish Party will be thrown by Disney in collaboration with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This event will be thrown specifically for Wish families and will include a full day’s worth of “enchanting surprises, inspiration, and adventures fit for a hero or heroine.” ©Disney Disney says we can expect tea and treats, character meet-and-greets, and Wish kids from all over the country! The very first Princess to be invited was 7-year-old Scarlett at Ventura Elementary School in Florida, who was personally visited at school by Minnie Mouse and her Cast Member friends. ©Disney We’ll continue to keep you updated as we find out more details about this year’s Princess Week Celebration as well as the Once Upon a Wish Party.

In April of 2022, we found out that Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel at Disneyland would be undergoing a MAJOR transformation to become the Pixar Place Hotel. ©Disney/Pixar Set to open this winter, the high-rise hotel overlooks Disney California Adventure Park and will present to visitors the artwork and styles from the classic Pixar films and animation studios. Disney just shared some extra details on the all-new restaurant coming to the hotel this fall. Great Maple is coming to Pixar Place Hotel and will be a “Southern California-based modern American eatery.” It will serve upscale dishes of fan-favorite comfort foods like fried chicken, burgers, and even salads. This restaurant will be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and will provide easy access for overnight guests, locals, and theme park visitors. It is located on the ground floor of the hotel. ©Disney/Pixar Since this hotel is a chain, we were able to speculate on what kinds of specific dishes might be offered once it opens this winter. But now, some of those menu items have been confirmed! Signature dishes will include Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Maple Bacon Doughnuts, the Cajun Shrimp & Cheddar Biscuit Benedict, and the Soda Pop-Braised Baby Back Ribs. Plus, you’ll be able to indulge in the full bar which will serve wine, beer, and cocktails. ©Great Maple Disney said that Great Maple’s “culinary creativity will abound throughout the hotel.” Aside from the restaurant itself, there will be a grab-and-go coffee shop, and food and beverage options will also be available at the pool bar and concierge lounge. ©Disney If there’s no maple-flavored coffee, we will protest! Just kidding. Maybe. Well, we’ll continue to keep you updated with all the latest Disneyland news, so make sure to follow along for more! Looking for more details on Pixar Place Hotel?

In May 2023, Disney announced that a $1 billion project the company planned for the Lake Nona area of Orlando was canceled. Lake Nona Town Center ©Lake Nona Disney purchased land in the Lake Nona area of Orlando in 2021 to build a campus that would relocate thousands of Disney employees to Central Florida. They later announced that this plan was delayed as of June 2022 and the move was again delayed for over 3 years — before the official announcement was made pulling the plug on the project. When it was first announced that the Lake Nona project was scrapped, many were quick to speculate about what would happen with the land. Since Disney isn’t moving forward with the relocation, there are 60 acres of land ready to be developed. They could choose to pivot and do something else entirely with the land — but new documents show that may not be likely. Cinderella Castle Disney bought the land from Tavistock Development Co. LLC, but it turns out that Tavistock may have some control over the land again now that Disney has backed out of building the new campus. According to the Orlando Business Journal, not only does Lake Nona’s master developer have a say in what happens to the land, but also the timeframe in which it happens. Obtained Via the Orlando Business Journal Legal documents related to the original sale between Disney and Tavistock reveal when Disney might have to resell part or all of the Lake Nona land back to the developer. Whether the land is developed or sits vacant can have an impact on neighboring property owners, residents, and businesses. EPCOT Orange County public records show a memorandum of repurchase option between Tavistock subsidiary Lake Nona Land Co. and Disney’s Dynamic Campus LLC said that Disney needed to reach these construction milestones: “Completion of 250,000 square feet of interior construction and a certificate of occupancy issued by seven years from the property sale closing date. That puts it at Sept. 14, 2028.” “Completion of a total of 500,000 square feet of the project by 10 years from the closing date, putting it at Sept. 14, 2031.” Tree of Life The deadlines are “repurchase triggers,” which give the seller the right to buy back any undeveloped parts of the 60 acres of land. Not only that, but they could do so for the original $46.4 million, or a prorated price. Right now, Disney hasn’t indicated what they plan on doing with the land. A Disney spokesperson said that Disney was “considering next steps for the property.” What those next steps might be though, we’re not entirely sure. Hollywood Studios Folks in the Central Florida business community think Disney could eventually change its mind and decide to move forward with the relocation after all, depending on how the battle with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis shakes out. Orlando land broker Daryl Carter of Maury L. Carter & Associates (who is not related to the project) thinks Disney execs have a few options for what to do next. Map of the Potential Community in Lake Nona ©Orlando Business Journal “They’re going to evaluate what the property is worth today, what the cost is to carry or hold it — and what it’s going to be worth three or five years from now if they sit on it. The other thing that a big corporation like Disney is going to evaluate is other potential uses of that capital [retained from selling the land] and where else could they put that money to use,” Carter said. Magic Kingdom Another document posted to Orange County public records for the sale of the property to Disney in 2021 contains clauses about the right of first offer and right of first refusal. The right of first offer means “for 99 years from the sale date, Disney will have to provide written notice to Tavistock of its intent to market the property for sale or lease. Tavistock then would have 30 days to decide whether to buy or lease the property before that opportunity is provided to another entity, per this memorandum.” The right of refusal means that “terms of an unsolicited offer to Disney to buy or lease the property…would have to be presented to Tavistock, which would have 30 days to match it.” Welcome to Disney World While we’re not sure what will happen next with the Lake Nona land, we’ll be keeping an eye out for the latest updates.

Disneyland Resort celebrated World Wish Day by dedicating three windows on Main Street, U.S.A. to Make-A-Wish and the first two wish kids.

Quick Service Starting with quick service locations, we have four restaurants that we regularly dine at when looking for a counter service meal. Since Downtown Disney is just outside the gates of Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, take a midday break from the parks and walk to this convenient restaurant and shopping district. Blue Ribbon Corn Dog It’s hard to pass up a classic Disneyland Corn Dog, but you can pick up some VERY unique twists on this tasty concoction at Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs! The Classic Dog is made with a kosher, all-beef hot dog. And lots of yummy breading! Corn Dogs! When it comes to classic Disneyland snacks, we just can’t resist stopping by this small but popular kiosk. This booth is usually staffed by a single Cast Member, so expect slow service during busy times. Corn dogs definitely earn a spot on our list! REVIEW: The ONE Thing Keeping Disney’s New Corn Dog from Greatness Earl of Sandwich Not only is it a delicious crowd pleaser, but Earl of Sandwich is also affordable and quick. Earl of Sandwich Each toasty sandwich from Earl of Sandwich comes perfectly wrapped in a piece of gold foil labeled with a sticker that marks the type of sandwich you ordered. Our favorite is the Holiday Turkey! Napolini Pizzeria If you’re headed back to your Disneyland resort and looking for a quick bite, then stop in and customize a scrumptious pizza at Napolini Pizzeria! Napolini Pizzeria Toppings include Italian sausage, Parma ham, roasted chicken, pepperoni, smoked provolone, broccolini, arugula, black and green olives, artichokes, roasted red peppers and pineapple, and more.

While snagging a walk-up table might be possible, we suggest making a reservation for one of these unique restaurants. Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes, an incredibly popular New York City-based restaurant, introduced its signature burgers, CrazyShakes, and more to Disneyland! To put it simply, it’s really good food making it a spot that’s well worth a visit. Plus, it’s fun. Churro Choco Taco Shake Whether you stop by for a full meal or just a CrazyShake, you won’t be disappointed. REVIEW: Disneyland is Taking Milk And Cereal To The NEXT. LEVEL. Earl of Sandwich Tavern You’ll find the Earl of Sandwich Tavern (with indoor and outdoor seating) next to the counter service Earl of Sandwich location. The Tavern has a more varied menu, including burgers, fish tacos, and more. Yum We recommend the Mac-n-Cheese Burger — it’s pretty close to perfection! Ballast Point Brewing Co. Ballast Point is the very first onsite brewery — complete with a tasting room, a kitchen, and an outdoor beer garden — in the Downtown Disney District. This restaurant offers great eats paired with a huge and unique beer selection in a large hangout spot for both vacation guests and locals. BP Wings with Crispy Dry Rub The shareable plates are fun to order if you’re grabbing some friends and some seats on the patio to relax and linger for an evening.

Memorial Day Weekend is coming and that means summer is officially starting. Main Street USA With most major holidays, Disney World sees an increase in crowds. And when crowds increase, that can create some problems for guests. We could see an increase in the price of Genie+ (who remembers it being $35 for Spring Break?!). We could see park pass reservations fill up and advance dining reservations get harder to find. But there is one thing that just got easier for the holiday weekend. Orlando International Airport, the airport that is closest to Disney World, is known for having a lot of travelers come through, and it looks like this upcoming Memorial Day will be no different. They are expecting 1.1 million people to visit the airport from now til the end of May. According to the airport, this is a 16% increase from 2022. While this could send you into an anxious spiral if you are one of those 1.1 million people who have a flight to or from Orlando International, there is some good news. According to Fox 35, the airport will open the West Park Place parking lot. This will add 3,100 more parking spaces for travelers, which could make your vacation a bit easier if you’re flying out of MCO. Terminal C at the Orlando International Airport According to the Orlando International Airport’s website, Parking Garage B is already full ahead of the busy weekend. Travelers are encouraged to check the airport’s website for the most up-to-date information on parking. The West Park Place Economy Lot is shown below. It is $10 per day to park there. There is also a shuttle that will run from the lot to Terminals A and C. ©Orlando International Airport If you are traveling to Disney World this Memorial Day weekend, be sure to read our tips and tricks to make the most of the busy weekend.
