Ever get to a hotel, see someone check in for their SUITE (fancy!), and suddenly regret the very basic room you booked with no view and only the necessary amenities? Wish you could somehow get an upgraded room? Disney’s Contemporary Resort Well, there’s some good news! You CAN get a hotel room upgrade sometimes (keyword: sometimes) depending on the situation. Want to know the secret tips and tricks to get that upgrade no matter what hotel you’re staying in? You’re in the right place! Today we’re breaking down 11 of the top tricks to getting a hotel room upgrade anywhere you stay! 1 — Ask! It might sound very basic, but the number 1 way to potentially get a hotel room upgrade is to ASK! We know, it’s truly earth-shattering advice. But in all seriousness, sometimes all it takes is the act of reaching out to the hotel employees to see what’s available. Worst case scenario: there’s nothing they can do. Best case scenario: the upgraded room of your dreams is all yours! Hotel Room — Hotel Lulu When you check in, ask to see if there are any upgrades available and what they would cost. It NEVER hurts to ask! Asking ahead of time can also be good. If you can, try to call the hotel or send a message ahead of your stay to let them know that you’ll be staying there and would like to upgrade your room if possible. This is also a great time to mention if you’ll be celebrating something special (more on that in a second), or why the upgrade could benefit you (like you’re planning on working from the room, etc.). The View from a Room at the Swan Reserve Marking special requirements or requests when you book your room can also be helpful in potentially getting you an upgrade. Want a room with a good view? Or how about a room with more space? If you note those room specifications when booking your room (within a little “requirements” or notes box of any kind), some hotels might see them and “go the extra mile” to fulfill those requests. Click here to see the best Disney World hotels for 2023 2 — Membership/Loyalty Programs If you want an upgrade, joining the loyalty program for the hotel you’ll be staying at is a good idea. Joining those programs is often free, though earning points can take a while. Those who reach a certain status within the loyalty program can sometimes get complimentary room upgrades. For example, Marriott notes that for those who reach the Gold Elite status, they’ll do their best to upgrade those members’ rooms upon their arrival (provided there’s availability). Again, just don’t expect to hit that top status overnight! Parkestry Rooftop Bar at the JW Marriott Still, if you’ll be staying at hotels from a particular brand and the loyalty program is free to join (as it often is), it doesn’t hurt to get the points and climb your way up to higher levels. You’re spending the money, so you might as well get a reward out of it too! Click here to see 6 hacks that’ll stop you from paying full price for travel 3 — Credit cards associated with hotel brands Want to earn even MORE points toward your loyalty status? Consider signing up for a credit card associated with the hotel brand you stay with the most. Sometimes hotels and their rewards systems can be tied to certain credit cards. By utilizing that associated card, you might be able to get to a higher status faster! For example, if you get the Hilton Honors Aspire Card (through American Express), you’ll get COMPLIMENTARY Hilton Diamond Status. That’s the highest loyalty level for Hilton. And it grants you space-available room upgrades! Time to Relax and Get That UPGRADE! Booking through the hotel-associated credit card or other special card can also help. For example, American Express Platinum Cardmembers may be eligible for upgrades (provided there’s availability) at a variety of hotels around the world. You’ll want to look into the credit cards you have (or want to get) to see what perks they can give you. Travel a lot? Check out our post — I travel full time: here are 8 SURPRISING things I carry with me 4 — Check available rooms ahead of check-in Maybe you want a room upgrade and the employees would love to give you one, but the type of room you’re looking for simply isn’t available. Avoid getting your hopes up by looking ahead to see what rooms are available. If you look online as if you were making a new reservation for the same nights as your booked stay, you should get a feel for what rooms are available. That can give you a sense of what might be available for an upgrade and what type of room you should ask for. Just remember that availability can change! Click here to see 7 things you should NEVER do at a Disney World hotel 5 — Check in later If you’re hoping to score an upgrade, checking into the hotel later in the day might work out. If you check in later in the afternoon, the staff will already generally know what rooms will and will not be empty that night. That might make them more inclined to upgrade you. If you book a room in a standard category and the hotel has essentially overbooked those rooms, checking in later can also help. If everyone else in the standard rooms has already checked in by the time you get there, the hotel may need to put you in a higher room category simply because of the way things worked out. Some suggest arriving between 5-6PM, but just be sure to check the rules at that hotel and make sure you don’t arrive too late! Swan Reserve rooms Note, however, that there is some disagreement on this point. Certain sources recommend getting there early, particularly if you’re utilizing your loyalty status to get an upgrade. If other members under the same loyalty status arrive early and ask for upgrades, they might take up all of the upgraded rooms. So you’ll have to weigh your options here and see what risk you’re willing to take. Checking on room availability (as we noted above) could give you a better idea of what might be available, helping to inform your decision. Click here to see some travel hacks that’ll help you STUFF everything into your tiny suitcase 6 — Consider when you visit If your hotel visit will take place during a super busy period, all or most of the rooms may already be booked, lowering your chance of getting an upgrade. If, however, you travel during a slower period, there could be much more hotel room availability generally, giving you a better chance of scoring an upgrade. 7 — Share the details of your stay Are you going on your honeymoon? Is it your birthday? Are you celebrating a special occasion? Babymoon? Graduation? Is it your first time in the city you’re visiting? Whatever the reason or circumstances surrounding your trip, share them with the hotel staff! Swan and Dolphin Lobby If you tell the staff about your special situation, they may be more inclined to give you an upgrade! Click here to learn about the most popular travel destinations for 2023 8 — Being loyal in general can help If you’re a repeat guest at a particular hotel or with a particular brand of hotels, that company and its employees may be more inclined to “reward” your loyalty with an upgrade. So if all things are equal, you might want to keep picking hotels from the same umbrella brand to build up that sense of loyalty (and let them know you’re a repeat customer!). 9 — BE KIND! BE KIND! BE KIND! We cannot emphasize this enough — BE KIND! If you walk into a hotel and act entitled to a room upgrade (or anything else) or rude, your chances of getting an upgrade will go WAY down. You may be tired after a long day of travel, exhausted from dealing with delayed flights and long lines, or maybe you’ve had bad experiences with certain staff members. There might be many reasons for your frustration, but it’s SO critical to be kind. Animal Kingdom Lodge You never know what the employee on the other side has had to deal with today — rude customers, the loss of a family member, or a million other things. Being kind in general is a good thing to do. But when it comes to upgrades, it can also boost your chances of being treated nicely if you’re treating the employees in control of upgrades nicely! As they say, you get more flies with honey than with vinegar. Also, it’s just nice to be nice without any reason for it whatsoever. 10 — Book through the hotel’s website directly While booking through third-party channels may be convenient, you might want to consider booking directly through a hotel’s website if it’s an upgrade you’re after. Booking through the hotel’s site can give you direct access to the hotel’s member benefits (like their reward points). 11 — Consider booking at a newer hotel Another thing to consider is booking at a newer hotel. If the hotel hasn’t been open long, it might be more eager to impress customers by providing bonuses like room upgrades. It might also have more vacant rooms, generally improving your chance of getting an upgrade. Click here to see 10 viral products you need from Target and Amazon before you travel Other tips There are a few other things you might want to keep in mind if you’re hoping to score an upgrade. For example, shorter stays can sometimes have a better chance of being upgraded. The hotel might have the space and availability to bump you to that suite for 2 nights, but a 10-night stay can present some availability challenges. Booking a slightly more expensive room can also sometimes help. Compare someone who already paid a bit more to book the middle-level room versus someone who paid the absolute CHEAPEST price possible. All things being equal, the hotel might be more inclined to upgrade someone to a fancy suite if they’ve already paid for the middle-level room (showing they’re already “dedicated” to this hotel and paying for a good experience), over the person who booked the cheapest room.

If you haven’t stayed at a Disney World hotel in a while, then you might be surprised by some of the big changes going on! Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Many of Disney World’s resorts have gotten room updates and renovations recently, and changes like the end of Disney’s Magical Express and Extra Magic Hours converting to Early Theme Park Entry might be challenging to navigate. But besides those big updates, there are some smaller changes we’ve seen recently at the Disney hotels, and we’re sharing them all here! Disney’s Port Orleans — Riverside Food Updates River Roost Lounge Let’s start things out at the River Roost Lounge, where there are some brand-new food and drink items we tried this week! First we ordered the French 75 which is made with Argyle Sparkling Brut, Hendricks Gin, Lemon Juice, and Pure Cane Sugar. It’s $15.50. French 75 We also tried a new plant-based option, the Spinach and Artichoke Dip, served with Cornbread Crostinis for $14. It was surprisingly creamy for something that wasn’t made with dairy products! Spinach and Artichoke Dip Both of these items are available daily from 5PM to 12AM at the River Roost Lounge. Make sure to check out our review to get the full details! Click Here for Our River Roost Review! Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Construction Updates New Disney Vacation Club Villas Construction Over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, we’ve been watching construction closely on the new Disney Vacation Club villas. So far, the land has been cleared of the former buildings, and it seems like Disney’s getting ready to go vertical with the project. Construction updates! This week, some containers arrived onsite, and more dirt has been moved around. We’ll continue watching to see when structures appear. We can’t wait to see what it looks like completed! Click Here to See Concept Art for the New Villas! BoardWalk Inn Merchandise Updates Dundy’s Sundries Our final big update is over at the BoardWalk Inn, where Dundy’s Sundries, the gift shop right next to the lobby, has closed. Guests can still do their shopping for souvenirs outside the lobby at Screen Door General Store on the BoardWalk. The store is closed! There’s a planned refurbishment for the lobby at the BoardWalk Inn, so it’s likely that this closure is one of the first steps in the transformation. The windows were completely covered and we could hear construction noises coming from inside, so maybe we’ll get some big changes here soon! Click Here to Get All the Details on the BoardWalk Changes! That’s everything new that we spotted at the Disney World hotels this week! We’ll continue visiting, especially as the holiday season kicks off, to check out all the offerings. Soon, these resorts will be decorated with Christmas trees and gingerbread houses — we can’t wait!

It’s no secret that Disney World is a busy place, because, well, it’s Disney World! So many people… We keep a close eye on Disney World’s crowds and wait times so you know what to expect when you visit. Holiday weekends and the weeks leading up to the fall and winter holidays are notoriously busy in the parks, but sometimes Disney crowds surprise us…and not always in the best way. Today, for example, crowds are WILD in the Disney World parks! We’ve touched down in 4 parks today and the crowds are everywhere! Let’s take a look. Animal Kingdom We started in Animal Kingdom, which can sometimes be one of the least busy parks — not today! Crowds were already heavy walking into the park. Entrance Crowds They didn’t alleviate once you got inside either. Many people stayed put to figure out where they wanted to go. Inside the entrance If you headed over to Pandora, the lines for both rides were quite long, but since those are two of the most popular rides in the park, that’s not entirely surprising. Pandora Crowds Walkways were especially shoulder-to-shoulder. Where it narrows, people get muuuch closer Expedition Everest was at a 50-minute wait with a line well outside of the indoor queue. Expedition Everest Crowds Quick-service spots like Tamu Tamu Refreshments had some decently long lines as well. Tamu Tamu Refreshments Even DinoLand had pretty intense crowds (especially considering this area of the park can be a ghost town). TriceraTop Spin Crowds Let’s check out Magic Kingdom! Magic Kingdom Magic Kingdom crowds certainly weren’t any better. Cinderella Castle was seeing a lot of foot traffic. Look at all those people! Even less popular spots like The Magic Carpets of Aladdin were seeing lots of people. Look at those crowds! We also saw a pretty long line over at Storybook Treats! Look at that line How were the crowds in Hollywood Studios? Hollywood Studios Hollywood Studios seemed to be the calmest park we saw this afternoon. Sunset Boulevard wasn’t too crowded, fortunately. Sunset Boulevard Some of the stores were a little more crowded than usual, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Store Crowds One of the most populated parts of Hollywood Studios was Galaxy’s Edge. Lots of people! And finally, let’s head to EPCOT! EPCOT Perhaps the worst park for crowds today was EPCOT. Just look at this shoulder-to-shoulder foot traffic in World Showcase! World Showcase was the most crowded part of the park that we saw. Many of the pavilions, like Germany, were filled with parkgoers! Germany Pavilion Crowds The Norway Pavilion was seeing a 110-minute wait for Frozen Ever After! Norway Pavilion Crowds As for the rest of the park, it was a pretty normal crowd day. Soarin’ was seeing a 60-minute wait while Living With The Land had its normal 10-minute wait. The Land Pavilion Crowds And the front of the park was semi-quiet, all things considered. The lack of crowds was a little deceiving If you find yourself in Disney World with huge crowds, we’ve got plenty of tips to help you avoid the crowds and make the most of your day. If you’ve got some extra room in your budget, you can also use Disney Genie+ to skip the lines and give yourself the time to experience more of the park instead of waiting in line. Remember — Genie+ did just get a price increase and now uses flexible pricing that varies depending on when you visit. Designated Area According to Disney, these large crowds will continue for a while since the demand to visit the parks is still so high. We’ve got a guide to avoiding the crowds in Disney Springs (even though there are no rides, we assure you things can feel a little too close sometimes), and a great list of how to fix 39 things you may hate about Disney.

Okay, Star Wars fans! How many pairs of Star Wars ears do you have? Chewie Ears! Maybe you’ve got those sweet Darth Vader ears or the Ahsoka Tano ears, or maybe you managed to grab those fun Lightsaber Ears we saw earlier this year. If you didn’t get those Lightsaber Ears, though, we’ve got something to tell you — some NEW Lightsaber Ears are now available in Disneyland. BUT, they’re not quite the same. Okay, the Lightsaber Ears we previously saw were pretty nice. Not only did they have lightsabers on them, but they also had the Rebel Alliance symbol on one ear and the Empire symbol on the other with the Star Wars logo in the middle. AND THEY LIT UP! Plus they were only $22 at the time. These Are So Cool! Okay, so let’s look at the NEW Lightsaber Ears we just found — they’ve got lightsabers on them, but, well, that’s about it. The ears are made from something like a shiny black vinyl. We will say that we like the detail on the lightsaber hilts here. NEW Lightsaber ears The headband says “MTFBWY” (May the Force Be With You)! Also, the headband looks way more comfortable than the plastic headband from the previous pair of lightsaber ears. May the Force Be With You These ears, which don’t light up like the ones we saw before, are $34.99. If you’re looking to grab them, you’ll find them at the Star Wars Trading Post in Downtown Disney in Disneyland. We’ll be sure to let you know if we spot these online. In the meantime, here are all the other pairs of ears you can buy online right now! Have you checked out the latest Disney-themed t-shirts in our store?

There are a LOT of restaurants in Disney World, some of which are located in spots you’ll have to take a trek to get to — but which ones are worth it? Gran Destino Tower With dozens of restaurants located at Disney World’s hotels, you may also be missing out on some hidden gems without even realizing it! We’ve already shared our list of the best restaurants in Disney World for 2023 and the best value fast food restaurants for 2023. But today we’re taking a trip to one tucked-away spot to see if it’s something you’ve got to add to your must-try list! Atmosphere Toledo — Tapas, Steak & Seafood is located at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, on the top of the Gran Destino Tower. It offers a rooftop dining experience with small plates inspired by flavors from Spain. The on-stage tapas kitchen serves up various small plates and cheeses, but you can also pick from larger entrees. Plus you’ll find over 50 choices of wines selected by their Master Sommelier, as well as cocktails, beers, and more. A Look Inside The real kicker here though is that setting. There are floor-to-ceiling windows with views out to Walt Disney World that are truly spectacular! And the decor inside is gorgeous too with some vaulted and backlit ceilings and even 2 olive trees! View from Toledo Time your visit right, and you might just be able to catch fireworks from this spot. Menu Toledo is only open for dinner, so don’t plan on grabbing lunch here. Here’s a full look at its current dinner menu! You can start things off with a number of tapas and starters. ©Disney If you’d prefer a meal with a few courses already selected for you, you can get the Chef’s Signature Dinner for Two for $155. ©Disney If you opt to create your own meal, then you might want to pick up an entree or two. ©Disney There are also side items… ©Disney …desserts… ©Disney …a kids’ menu… ©Disney …kids’ drinks and drinks without alcohol… ©Disney …beers, ciders, hot drinks with alcohol… ©Disney …wines… ©Disney …more wines and dessert spirits… ©Disney …and specialty cocktails. ©Disney So just what did we pick up to eat? Well, let’s dive into our review! Eats For our dinner, we started things off with the Pan con Tomate (which translates from Spanish to English as bread with tomato). This dish features Crushed Tomato, Garlic, Olive Oil, and Charred Bread and it is plant-based. Pan con Tomate and a View One of our reporters who tried this is a plant-based eater and they described this as “toast done right.” It had a LOT of great flavors. You might look at the ingredients for this dish and be thinking “I could make that at home easily! What makes this so special?” Well, we think that what takes this relatively simple dish to the next level is the quality of the ingredients. You Can Taste the Quality They are of an incredibly high quality and that makes this dish incredibly flavorful and unlike anything you’d likely be able to whip up at home. The crunch of the toast was great, the spices tasted wonderfully fresh, and all of our reporters who tried it really loved it! You can get this for $12. Dig In! Next, it was time to dig into the Rioja-Braised Chorizo. This is made of Spanish-style Sausage, Rioja Wine, and Onions and is priced at $15. Another Appetizer This dish was VERY rich! You could really taste the red wine and the sausage, and their flavors, mixed together, were fantastic. Our one caveat — this could be a difficult dish for picky eaters to enjoy. It was really peppery, to the point of being spicy, which was accentuated by the wine. If that’s a flavor profile you’re not used to eating, this could be a tough dish to enjoy. Would You Try It? But for us, the flavors were fantastic, the onions added a great touch, and the buttery toast served as the perfect vessel to soak up that tasty sauce! Get Us the Toast! From the tapas and starters, we moved into our entrees. Our first entree was the Rioja-Braised Chicken. This dish is priced at $30 and features Roasted Tomato Bomba Rice, Grapes, and Crispy Potatoes. Time to Eat! The skin of the chicken was very crispy, in the best way possible! But the star here might just be those grapes. Our reporters described them as “literal fireworks of flavor.” Talk about some excitement! The dish has a strong vinegar and garlic flavor, which we really enjoyed. The white meat chicken was flavorful and sort of moist, but it was a little chewy — so just be prepared for that. The dark meat, on the other hand, was extremely juicy and just falls apart in your mouth. Chicken Dish The dish as a whole looks exciting, but doesn’t taste nearly as exciting as it looks unless you get a grape — so be sure to grab those with each bite if possible! The rice it was served with was tasty and well-cooked. Unfortunately, some of the veggies served with it tasted strangely like a canned veggie soup or minestrone, so that was a less-than-ideal portion of the dish. But those grapes are where it’s AT. Get a Grape! Next, we turned to the Braised Lamb Shank. This is priced at $37 and features Olive Oil-Potato Purée, Rosemary-roasted Garlic Gravy, Huckleberry Jam, and English Peas. Potatoes and huckleberries?! HELLO sweet and savory! This combination totally worked. The Lamb The huckleberry jam did just sort of taste like the blueberries you’d find in a can to make blueberry cobbler or muffins, which was a little bit of a disappointment. But they still delivered in terms of flavor. The lamb fell right off the bone and was incredibly tender. But there were some interesting flavors and textures here too. One of our reporters said that they felt like the lamb almost tasted like corned beef and had a weirdly slimy texture. But they still felt like the blueberries and lamb went together really well. Another one of our reporters loved the potatoes but was not as big of a fan of the lamb. It Can Get Mixed Opinions So this might be a bit more of a divisive dish. Keep that in mind if you’ll be traveling in a bigger group and hoping to get a dish to share that everyone will enjoy. Lamb Shank Then it was time to dive into a plant-based entree — the Brick Oven Cauliflower. This is priced at $30 and comes with Carrot Romesco, Artichoke Pistou, Cured Tomatoes, and Cilantro Crema. Cauliflower Our plant-based eater tackled this one and shared their thoughts. The initial flavor hit that you get from this is of char. Because of that char taste that hits you right at the front, it sort of gives you a steak-like effect. Of course, it doesn’t have the texture or flavor of an actual steak, but that char flavor (which often comes on a steak or burger) is there. Another one of our reporters who tried this shared that to them it tasted almost like a burger that had been on the grill too long though. Not exactly ideal. What Do You Think? Unfortunately, there was just something about the flavor of the cauliflower combined with the aftertaste it had and the aftertaste of the char that created a strange lingering flavor. Our plant-based eater shared that after that initial impression, they were very hesitant about the dish as a whole. But when they really dove in and started eating, they found a lot of surprise flavors hidden in the dish. Rather than being a dry, bland cauliflower, there were punches of flavor from some of the sauces drizzled on the top and side. The Sauces Made It Better Our tip? If you’re going to order this, ask for WAY more sauce. The Carrot Romesco was our favorite, so it’s the one we’d ask for more of. But just keep in mind that the char flavor, mixed with other flavors, can create a strange aftertaste. Worth a Try Or No? Then we grabbed a side item to give it a try — the Blistered Shishito Peppers. These are plant-based and priced at $8. About every 1 in 10 of these are spicy, making it a bit of a gamble in terms of which one you’ll get! One of our reporters got a pepper that was spicy, but our other reporter got some that were extremely mild. It’s a Luck of the Draw! These could be a great, fun option for plant-based eaters, but our whole team (including the non-plant-based eaters) really loved these. The seasoning on them was great, as well as the lemon juice that had been added. One of our reporters said it was their FAVORITE thing on the entire table, so it might be a side worth trying even if it’s something you’d not normally opt for! Just Be Careful — You Might Get a Spicy One! Finally, it was time to turn from the savory to the sweet! For dessert, we started with The Toledo Tapas Bar. It is priced at $12 and is a dessert that features the flavors of Spanish Coffee, crunchy Chocolate, Raspberry Mousse, and Lemon Curd. Ours also had a cheesecake component. Dessert This was really fun and enjoyable! The cheesecake and lemon curd were very good, and we really liked how the lemon and chocolate complemented one another. The coffee had a strong flavor, leaning toward the bitter side. But if you’re a coffee-lover, we think you’ll really enjoy it! And the raspberry flavor was wonderfully light, making it a good addition to the mix. A Closer Look Truthfully, it was hard to pick a favorite flavor. The toppings all made the extremely chocolatey bar have a slightly different flavor, giving you a fun experience with different bites. It’s certainly one for people who like chocolate, but even if you don’t absolutely love chocolate we still think the other flavors might make it enjoyable. A Peek Inside Finally, we ended things with the plant-based Chocolate-Avocado Mousse. It’s priced at $10 and is served with Strawberry-Basil Sorbet and Coconut Crumble. Our plant-based eater was the main one who tried this, and unfortunately, their experience didn’t start out great. Our Next Dessert Their first bite was absolutely a negative experience and they shared that it “scarred them.” The flavor combination was unconventional and that initially made them feel like this tasted really bad. As they went on, however, they tasted the basil in the sorbet and realized that was the culprit. The basil, when mixed in with the chocolate, had a confusing effect on their palate and almost gave the sensation that something had gone wrong in the kitchen. But, sometimes you need to move past the first few bites to truly experience the dessert, so they ate on! It Can Be Off Putting at First And as they ate, their opinion changed! The dish started to grow on them as the herbaceous earthiness to the ice cream added a unique flavor. There were also some little items made of sugar that would throw in a burst of sweetness when eaten, so that was nice. Truthfully, though, the chocolate sauce and the graham cracker crumbs could have been the whole dessert and we probably would have enjoyed just that. If you do try this, just be aware that the basil in the ice cream can be offputting at first, but it might grow on you! A Closer Look And that brings us to the end of our Toledo experience! Let’s go over some final thoughts. Nosh or Not Rush to Toledo if: You want to dine at a restaurant with a view You enjoy tapas-style eating and sharing plates with friends You’re looking for some more unique flavors Skip Toledo if: You are on a tight budget (the items here can be pricey and can add up if you’re grabbing several to share) You’re looking for simpler flavors to satisfy picky eaters You want to go to a spot that’s more central (this is a bit more tucked away since it is all the way over at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort) Overall Overall, we really enjoyed our meal at Toledo, though some parts went better than others. The Pan con Tomate really showcased the high-quality ingredients used here, the Chorizo dish was very rich, and the Rioja-Braised Chicken had those grapes that were little “fireworks of flavor!” Plus, we really loved the Shishito Peppers and the signature dessert was fun. But some of the dishes can be difficult for picky eaters, the Brick Oven Cauliflower had that char flavor and other flavors that created a strange aftertaste, and the Chocolate Avocado Mousse was extremely off-putting at first. Some of its dishes might truly challenge you to move past those first few bites to get to better flavors or flavors that grow on you. Some dishes were winners, while others would not be ranked as high on our list. Our Entrees If you’re looking for a unique restaurant with beautiful views, some tasty eats, and a tapas-style menu (with entrees too) then this might be a perfect out-of-the-way restaurant to try.

October can be one of the BEST times to visit Disney World — and the crowds prove it. Halloween decorations in Magic Kingdom! Many people visit Disney World in October to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or eat at EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival, or maybe you just want to take advantage of the slightly cooler weather and see all the Halloween decorations. Last week’s wait times were HIGH, so let’s check out this week’s average wait times! If you scroll to the wait times below, you’ll easily see which rides tend to have higher wait times than others and why purchasing Genie+ might be a good plan for you. Genie+ costs $15 to $22 per person, per day, and whether it’s worth it to you depends entirely on what you like to do in Disney World. Want to spend less time in the standby lines? Genie+ gets you in the faster Lightning Lanes, and you can also buy Lightning Lane access a la carte for certain rides. Tower of Terror Lightning Lane Below you’ll find the average wait times of every Disney World ride this past week so you can see how long you might have to wait in line this October. Wait times were high last week, but what about this week? Magic Kingdom We’re starting off with Magic Kingdom, where Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time at 57 minutes! Last week, the ride averaged 59 minutes, so it went a little bit down this week.

This is your ultimate 1-day trip plan for EPCOT! Hollywood Studios Let’s head over to Hollywood Studios, where Rise of the Resistance had the highest average wait time this week at 95 minutes.

We’ve seen classic souvenirs, collectible souvenirs, practical souvenirs, and some EXPENSIVE souvenirs. But we LOVE finding weird souvenirs. Let’s take a look at one of our favorites — the Monsters, Inc. Scream Canister Water Bottle!! Let’s take a walk down memory lane when we found the Scream Canister Water Bottle at Disney World! It originally made its debut at Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort, which makes sense since those west coast Disney parks host the fun dark ride, Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! We were thrilled to see it there and ECSTATIC to see it when it popped up in Disney World. Scream Canister Water Bottle What is it that love about it? Well, it’s almost an EXACT REPLICA of the Scream Canisters in the movie, but, you know, hand-held. And since these contain the screams that power Monstropolis, when you press the button on the top and twist the lid, it makes screaming noises! So, now your water bottle can LITERALLY scream at you — call it a new way to motivate your hydration. Scream Canister Water Bottle We recently saw this little gem return to Disneyland and are hopeful for its return to Disney World, as well. It also goes in and out of stock online on shopDisney, WalMart, and Amazon — you just have to keep checking! We’ll let you know what other cool merch we find at Disney World, too, so stay tuned!

The Brightline train is an exciting new addition for many Florida residents. ©Brightline Earlier this year it was revealed that Disney backed out of the Brightline train deal, but the current train route will still stop near Disney World and run close to Universal Orlando’s new park, Epic Universe. This new train isn’t just for theme park visitors though — it will provide a new method of transportation for many around the area. But how much will the new train really help the state’s infrastructure needs? The U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary had some thoughts to share on the matter. Pete Buttigieg, the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, spoke to the Orlando Sentinel and offered promising remarks that the region is in the right direction. He said the department has already signaled its recognition of the region’s infrastructure needs and potential. ©Brightline The current Brightline train proposal “extends commuter and Brightline rail from the airport to International Drive and theme-park stations — and, for Brightline, along Interstate 4 to a Tampa station.” Completing this would mean Brightline achieves their cross-Florida corridor from Miami to Orlando to Tampa. ©Brightline In order for this to happen, Orange County voters must approve a penny hike in sales tax in November, and the U.S. Department of Transportation would have to provide matching grants through its rail and transit agencies. Brightline train at Orlando Airport Buttigieg said that while he can’t speak to specific applications, he knows “there is a very strong vision here with what they want to do with transit broadly and Brightline specifically.” When asked about the penny hike, he said “when a community is ready to step up, including with taking on some level of cost and put skin in the game, that helps us be a better partner at the U.S. DOT,” and that “whenever those investments can be matched, local, state and federal, it means that much more can be done.” ©Orlando Sentinel While it’ll still be a while until the full Brightline rail is completed, we’ll keep an eye on all the updates and keep you up-to-date on what’s going on. In the meantime, you can follow along with us as we keep our eyes on all the Disney World construction going on because there’s A LOT of it!

Chilly weather has finally come to Disney World — but whether or not it will stick around is anyone’s guess. Crowds in Disney World One thing that we can be sure will stick around for a WHILE is construction in Disney World. BIG changes are coming, and if you’ve found it a little hard to keep track of it all — we’ve got you covered. We’re always on the hunt for the latest construction updates from around the parks and resorts — so let’s take a look at everything you might have missed this week! Magic Kingdom Walt Disney World Railroad We’re seeing some progress on the Walt Disney World Railroad tracks over near TRON: Lightcycle Run! Recently, more work has been done on the tracks in various locations throughout Magic Kingdom — so hopefully we’re one step closer to finally being able to climb aboard this train once again. More tracks! We’ll keep an eye out for the latest updates on the Railroad and let you know if we learn of any news! See the Latest Walt Disney World Railroad Updates Here TRON: Lightcycle Run It looks like concrete is the name of the game over at TRON in Tomorrowland. The cement walls are up while the surrounding structures appear to be filled with sand for now. TRON construction We also spotted some ride vehicle testing on our last pass through the PeopleMover! Ride vehicle testing! Disney announced that TRON: Lightcycle Run will be opening in spring 2023, but we’ll keep you updated with the latest news until then! Check Out the Latest TRON Update Here EPCOT Journey of Water – Inspired by Moana Over at EPCOT’s scaffol– we mean Moana-inspired attraction, we’re starting to see more details come to life on the rock structures. Shading has been added for some dimension, and what looks like green moss is covering some of the rocks as well. The logo is there! And, more of those large, branched towers have been installed as well. More greenery and white tree-like structures are in Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana is slated to open sometime in late 2023. See the Latest Journey of Water Update Here Disney’s Animal Kingdom Dino Diner A snack stand has moved in over where Dino Diner used to be in Animal Kingdom. You can grab various bottled beverages and frozen treats over here. Dino Diner is no more Disney removed Dino Diner without any announcements or word on what might come next for the space, so we’ll keep an eye out for the latest and let you know if anything changes with the current snack stand! Disney’s Hollywood Studios Keystone Clothiers Construction walls are up out in front of part of the facade of Keystone Clothiers in Hollywood Studios. The store appeared to sustain some minor damage just after Hurricane Ian, so it looks like Disney is repairing that. Keystone construction No word on how long these walls will be up, but we’ll let you know when Disney tears them down. Woody’s Roundup Rodeo BBQ Not much has changed over at Woody’s Roundup Rodeo BBQ — at least from what we can see on the outside of this green scrim. Roundup Rodeo construction The table-service restaurant is supposed to be open sometime this year, but will Disney be able to pull that off? We’ll let you know! Read About the Latest Rodeo Roundup Updates Here Disney Resort Hotels Polynesian Village Resort It’s dirt as far as the eye can see at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Polynesian construction The former Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show building was demolished and the area was cleared to make way for a new hotel building featuring DVC villas, restaurants, and more. See the Latest Construction Updates at the Polynesian Resort Changes are a-comin’ to Disney World, but you can be prepared on your next trip by checking out the planning tips you need to know about before you get to the parks and a definitive ranking of every Disney World hotel!

We’re getting closer and closer to Halloween, and Disney World is getting more and more busy! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party We even actually have seen the temperatures dropping in Disney World, which is giving us all of the spooky vibes for the season. If you’re going to the parks soon, there are a lot of things to do! You can take a look at all of the holiday decor, eat spooky treats, attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and more. But, you also need to take a look at the calendar before you go. And, don’t forget that you still need a Park Pass Reservation to get into the parks — so we’ve compiled ALL of that info right here just for you! Magic Kingdom Park Hours We’re starting in Magic Kingdom, where on October 24th, 26th, and 29th the park will be open from 9AM to 11PM. On October 23rd, 25th, 27th, and 28th, Magic Kingdom will be open from 8AM to 6PM due to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, which runs from 7PM to 12AM on those dates. ©Disney On October 26th, Extended Evening Hours (for qualifying Disney World Resort hotel guests) are scheduled from 11PM to 1AM. EPCOT Park Hours EPCOT will be open from 8:30AM to 9PM from October 23rd to the 29th. ©Disney Extended Evening Hours will take place on October 24th from 9PM to 11PM. Disney’s Hollywood Studios Park Hours Disney’s Hollywood Studios has the same hours as EPCOT, opening from 8:30AM to 9PM all week. ©Disney If you want to park hop in Disney World right now, you have to have a Park Pass Reservation to start your day and you have to wait until after 2PM to scan into your second park (you have to go to your first park first!). An easy way to travel between EPCOT and Hollywood Studios is via the Disney Skyliner! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park Hours And Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be open from 8AM to 8PM on October 23rd & 29th. On October 24th & 28th, the park will be open from 8AM to 7PM, and on October 25th, 26th, and 27th, the park will be open from 9AM to 7PM. ©Disney Now, let’s check out the availability of Park Passes next week! Park Pass Reservation Availability The Disney World Park Pass availability calendar is divided by theme park tickets, resort hotels, and Annual Passes. For visitors with Theme Park Tickets, both Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios are booked up for October 24th. Then, only Hollywood Studios is full for October 25th, and only Magic Kingdom is full for October 26th. ©Disney If you’re staying at a Disney World hotel, the availability is the same as it is with the theme park tickets. Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios are booked up for October 24th. Then, only Hollywood Studios is full for October 25th, and only Magic Kingdom is full for October 26th. ©Disney If you’re a Disney World Annual Passholder you have a different calendar of park pass availability. Next week, the Incredi Pass has no blockout dates with full park availability. ©Disney Sorcerer Passholders is the same thing — there is full park reservation availability next week. ©Disney If you have the Pirate Pass you also have no blockout dates and every day is fully available. ©Disney And, the Pixie Dust Pass is blocked on October 23rd & 29th, but the rest of the week is open for reservations. ©Disney And that’s what you need to know about Disney World’s park hours and Park Pass availability for next week!

Genie+ allows Disneyland guests to skip long standby lines and use the Lightning Lane at many attractions. Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle Recently, Genie+ switched its pricing from a standard $20 per day to surge pricing, meaning that the price would fluctuate based on how much demand there was for the service. Today, we’ve seen the highest price yet for Genie+ in Disneyland. The minimum Genie+ price in Disneyland is $25 per person, but today it’s a bit higher than that — actually, it’s the highest we’ve seen in Disneyland so far. Genie+ in Disneyland today is $30 per person. ©Disney If you do the math, that means a family of four would have to spend $120 per day to use Genie+ in Disneyland. However, we do have to point out that unlike in Disney World, Genie+ in Disneyland does include unlimited PhotoPass downloads from that day. But guests will have to decide if that’s worth the high price on a high-demand day like today. ©Disney We also checked prices for Individual Lightning Lane attractions. Rise of the Resistance in Disneyland is $25 per guest today. ©Disney Radiator Springs Racers in Disney California Adventure is $20 per guest today. ©Disney So if you’re headed to Disneyland today, keep that in mind before purchasing Genie+ — you’ll have to decide if it’s worth it for you and your party. Disneyland Main Entrance In the meantime, if you’re looking to save money on your next Disneyland trip, here’s why you should NOT book a stay at a Disney-owned hotel (trust us, there are a ton of hotel options in the area at better price points). Meanwhile, you can also learn all about Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort — there are a lot of decorations to see, special snacks, and more! Want to Learn More About Disneyland?

One of the most important parts of your Disney World day (in our opinion) is what you choose to eat! There are lots of great options for snacks and meals in the parks, but there are also some less-than-stellar eats to watch out for. Mickey Pretzel! We’re in Disney World every single day, and we’ve tried just about everything there is to eat there. We’re here to help you find the best possible food, drinks, and snacks! Come along with us to see the best places to eat in Magic Kingdom. In this post, we ranked the 5 best table service (sit-down) restaurants, the 5 best counter service (fast food-style) restaurants, and the 3 best places to get a snack or treat. Of course, there are a lot more options than what’s listed here, but we focused on only the BEST eats for this list. If you want to see the rankings for ALL the restaurants in Magic Kingdom, check out our video on that topic. Now on to the best eats! Table Service Restaurants You will need a reservation for table service restaurants in Disney World. You can start making those reservations 60 days before your trip. These meals tend to be more expensive than most counter service meals, and they’re also usually bigger and fancier. But which table service spot should you choose? We’ve got the answer. 5. Be Our Guest Restaurant Coming in at number 5 is the Be Our Guest Restaurant. At this Fantasyland restaurant, you can dine inside the Beast’s castle! There are 3 different themed dining rooms: the ballroom, the art gallery, and the West Wing. Diners can also spot the Beast himself walking through the restaurant. Let’s go inside! This restaurant only serves lunch and dinner, and both feature a prix fixe menu, meaning you’ll pay one set cost and then choose an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. Eating in a castle doesn’t come cheap — currently, the meal costs $67 for adults and $39 for kids. Be Our Guest In our experience, the food here has been pretty good (especially the French Onion Soup!) but not knock-your-socks-off-amazing. So you’re really paying for the ambiance and setting rather than the food. PROS: Beautiful setting — don’t forget to walk around and see all the different rooms. You might meet the Beast! It has good food (albeit not incredible food). CONS: It’s pricey for what you get. There’s only a prix fixe menu available (no option to get a la carte instead). The meal can take a while, so you’ll lose time in the park. OVERALL: 7/10 Click here for our most recent review of Be Our Guest Restaurant. 4. Crystal Palace Crystal Palace is located at the top of Main Street, U.S.A., with views of Cinderella Castle outside the dining room windows. This restaurant recently welcomed back characters, so you’ll dine with Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore. Crystal Palace The food is served in a buffet, with options like carved meats, roasted veggies, Walt’s favorite chili, and a kids’ station. The food is pretty good, especially for buffet standards, with a few unique options like shrimp creole and plant-based curry. To the buffet! With the return of characters came a hefty price increase. Currently, this spot is $59 per adult and $38 per child for lunch and dinner. Breakfast (with the characters) is a little cheaper, at $45 per adult and $29 per child. PROS: Characters are back! This is the only place to see all 4 of the Hundred Acre Woods friend in one spot. There are lots of options on the buffet. It’s not as crowded or hard to get reservations for as the other character dining locations. CONS: It’s still pretty pricey for what you get. Not much on the menu for plant-based eaters or more adventurous eaters The restaurant isn’t really “Disney” themed besides the characters — it’s themed after the Crystal Palace greenhouse in Hyde Park in England. OVERALL: 7/10 See our most recent review of Crystal Palace here! 3. Cinderella’s Royal Table The icon that most people think of when they think about Disney World is Cinderella’s Castle. So of course the ultimate dining experience has to be eating INSIDE that castle, at Cinderella’s Royal Table! Cinderella’s Royal Table The food here is good, but not great. It’s not bad by any means, but what you’re really paying for is the experience of eating in the castle, complete with vaulted ceilings and royal decor. A meal here for lunch and dinner costs $67 per adult and $39 per child, and breakfast is $45 per adult and $29 per child. Dine INSIDE the Castle at Cinderella’s Royal Table! This spot used to have more of a character element, with the Disney princesses visiting guests at their tables, but currently you’ll just say hello to Cinderella before you go inside, and then she might pop in for a few minutes at a time to wave to everyone from her balcony. PROS: You’re eating INSIDE the iconic castle — it doesn’t get more “Disney” than that. You’ll get to visit with Cinderella. Views outside the windows of Fantasyland and the Hub are amazing. CONS: Character sighting is underwhelming — there used to be more of a character element than there currently is. The food isn’t great (not terrible, not amazing). It’s expensive for what you get. OVERALL: 7.5/10 2. Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen One of our favorite places to eat in Magic Kingdom is also one of the most underrated. The Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen is located in Adventureland, near the Jungle Cruise ride, which this restaurant is based on! According to the Disney legend, Alberta Falls (granddaughter of Dr. Albert Falls) took over the family shipping business and opened up the Skipper Canteen to host guests before or after they go on their Jungle Cruise ride. Skipper Canteen The eats here are more unusual and unique than what you’ll find at most Magic Kingdom restaurants. They’re inspired by cuisines from around the world, so this is definitely a good choice for more adventurous palates. Thai Noodles Make sure to walk around and take in all the decor here — there are a ton of details that are easy to miss if you’re not looking! Adult entrées here range in price from $21 to $38, and kids’ meals are $11 to $14. PROS: It has more adventurous options than some other restaurants. There’s great theming and a cool backstory. The hilarious Jungle Cruise skippers are your waiters. CONS: Menu options are not great for picky eaters. Unlike some other spots on this list, it’s not super “Disney” (unless you know the deep history of it). There’s not an awesome view outside the windows (unlike Crystal Palace and Cinderella’s Royal Table). OVERALL: 9/10 See our recent review of Skipper Canteen here. 1. Liberty Tree Tavern Our #1 pick for table service restaurant in Magic Kingdom is (drum roll please) Liberty Tree Tavern! This might be an unexpected pick, with options like Cinderella’s Royal Table available, but if you’re looking at the eats alone, this spot has the other places beat by a mile. It’s unlimited Thanksgiving food served all. year. long. How can you beat that?? Liberty Tree Tavern The theming isn’t super “Disney” — instead, you’ll find dining rooms themed after influential U.S. historical figures. But there’s still some interesting decor to see, and it has a cozy vibe that we appreciate. The full spread But what really seals the deal for us here is the dessert. The Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake is NOT something to be missed. It’s basically a warm toffee cake served with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce, and it’s one of our all-time favorite treats in Disney World. This spot is also cheaper than most other table service restaurants in this park, coming in at $39 per adult and $21 per child. PROS: You’ll find delicious and filling food (all-you-can-eat Thanksgiving feast) here! The vibes are home-y and comfortable. We’re in love with that dessert! CONS: The food is very heavy — it might not be great for a hot day. There are no super adventurous options (but it’s a good spot for picky eaters). It’s not “Disney” theming. OVERALL: 9.5/10 Click here for our recent review of Liberty Tree Tavern. Counter Service Restaurants Now we’re moving on to the counter service restaurants in Magic Kingdom. You don’t need a reservation for these spots, and they tend to be much cheaper than the table service options. Check to see if the restaurant you choose has Mobile Order available. That can save you time because you won’t have to wait in line to order! There’s a pretty wide range of food types and quality in this park, so check out where you should eat here. 5. Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Café (on Mobile Order) Our #5 choice for counter service restaurants in Magic Kingdom is Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Café, located in Frontierland, just before you get to Adventureland. This spot has Mexican food on the menu, albeit not the most authentic eats you’ll ever see. Let’s go in! But it’s still a good spot to grab a quick bite, and there’s a lot of indoor seating available, which means AIR CONDITIONING. We also really like the queso here, which you can add to any meal for just $1. We still miss the miles-long toppings bar, which hasn’t returned since the parks shut down due to the pandemic. PROS: Lots of air-conditioned seating More interesting options than just theme park food Queso (need we say more?) CONS: Not authentic Mexican cuisine Food is tasty and not too expensive but also not super exciting or fancy Miles-long toppings bar is still not available OVERALL: 6/10 Check out our recent review of Pecos Bill here. 4. Pinocchio Village Haus (on Mobile Order) Over in Fantasyland, you’ll find our #4 pick for Magic Kingdom counter service restaurants: Pinocchio Village Haus. This spot has mostly flatbread pizzas and salad, which tend to be a bit underwhelming but still tasty. We’ve really enjoyed a few specialty eats that you can sometimes find on the menu, like the Berbere Chickpea Flatbread. Pinocchio Village Haus Restaurant A big bonus of this restaurant is the seating. It has lots of indoor tables and chairs, and some seats are near a big window that overlooks the “it’s a small world” ride! PROS: Some of the limited-time options have been surprisingly interesting and tasty Fun seating options (overlooking “it’s a small world”!) Lots of seating available — it’s a lesser-known spot, so you likely won’t have to fight for a table CONS: Most of the food is fairly mediocre Nothing super adventurous on the menu most of the time — just pizza Dining room can get loud during peak times OVERALL: 6.5/10 Check out a review of Pinocchio Village Haus here. 3. Casey’s Corner (on Mobile Order) One of our favorite places to eat in Magic Kingdom is Casey’s Corner. Is it mostly because of the incredible location right in front of Cinderella Castle? Maybe…but not entirely. This is also the home of our beloved corn dog nuggets with plastic cheese! Casey’s Corner spread You’ll find mainly theme park staples on the menu here, especially lots of hot dogs. So if that’s not your jam, you might want to opt for a different spot. But the food is pretty good and, like we said, you can’t beat this location. We recommend eating here during off-peak meal times (such as around 10:30AM or later in the afternoon, like at 3 or 4PM) because it can get very crowded for lunch and dinner. PROS: Amazing location right at the top of Main Street, U.S.A. The ragtime pianist outside makes for a great ambiance Corn dog nuggets and plastic cheeeeeese CONS: Pretty basic menu — if you don’t like hot dogs, this isn’t for you Can be crowded because of its location on Main Street, U.S.A. Most of the seating is outdoors, which means no air conditioning OVERALL: 8/10 See our review of Casey’s Corner here! 2. Sleepy Hollow Refreshments (on Mobile Order) The runner-up for the best quick service spot in Magic Kingdom has to be Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Liberty Square. It has very limited seating (and none indoors), but the food here is good enough that we come to eat here all the time anyways. Sleepy Hollow The funnel cakes and Mickey waffles are great, but the real gems are the Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich (now available all day long instead of just for breakfast) and the Sweet-and-Spicy Chicken-Waffle Sandwich. They’ve also got hand-dipped corn dogs! PROS: Fun and unique eats (we love those waffle sandwiches!) Easy to grab-and-go Good location — close to Cinderella Castle CONS: No indoor seating, not a ton of outdoor seating either Limited menu Some of the food can be tricky to eat (those waffle sandwiches will require a fork and knife) OVERALL: 9/10 See our review of Sleepy Hollow here! 1. Columbia Harbour House (on Mobile Order) And coming in the #1 spot for the best counter service restaurant in Magic Kingdom is Columbia Harbour House! This restaurant is SERIOUSLY underrated — many people pass it over for one of the more popular spots like Casey’s Corner. But you shouldn’t count it out! It has a surf and turf menu with eats like a lobster roll, a shrimp boil, grilled salmon, and chicken tenders. Columbia Harbour House There’s plenty of indoor seating here (hooray for air conditioning!), and the theming fits in very well with its location in Liberty Square. However, it’s not a super “Disney” atmosphere, so younger kids might not think it’s quite as fun as some other options in this park. PROS: Not just your average theme park food (caters to both picky and adventurous eaters) Lots of indoor seating Surf and turf vibes appeal to multiple palates CONS: Not a huge variety of options Not many plant-based options on the menu The atmosphere isn’t very fancy or “Disney” themed OVERALL: 9/10 Check out our most recent review of Columbia Harbour House here. Snacks/Dessert 3. Main Street Plaza Ice Cream Parlor If you’re looking for a cold, sweet treat in Magic Kingdom, Plaza Ice Cream Parlor is the place to be. Although it has a pretty limited menu (just your basic ice cream and sundaes), the ice cream is high-quality. The location is also tough to beat — it’s right in front of Cinderella Castle, across from Casey’s Corner! We love the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor! Unfortunately, this spot isn’t on Mobile Order, so you’ll have to wait in line to order your eats. Sundaes and floats go for $7 to $9, and a double-scoop ice cream cone is $6.79. PROS: Simple and delicious treats Great location (at the top of Main Street, U.S.A.) A cold snack is always welcome on a hot day in Disney World CONS: Not a lot of seating Pretty basic menu (not a lot of exciting eats) No savory options on the menu OVERALL: 7.5/10 See our review of Plaza Ice Cream Parlor here. 2. Spring Roll Wagon Our 2nd favorite place to find a snack in Magic Kingdom is the Spring Roll Wagon, located just in front of the Adventureland entrance if you’re coming from Main Street, U.S.A. These aren’t your average spring rolls — you’ll find a cheeseburger spring roll and a 50th anniversary pastrami spring roll here right now! We’ve also enjoyed pepperoni pizza spring rolls here. Spring Roll Wagon Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of seating available in the area, and the price for just 2 rolls is a little bit high, at $9.50. Still, these are unique eats and, in our opinion, very tasty! PROS: Unique snack — not something you usually see in a theme park Good location (right off Main Street, U.S.A.) Filling and delicious CONS: No seating available A little pricey for what you get Not much variety on the menu — pretty much just the spring rolls OVERALL: 8/10 Check out a recent review of the Spring Roll Wagon here. 1. Aloha Isle And the winner for the BEST place to get a snack in Magic Kingdom is Aloha Isle in Adventureland! This is the home of the iconic Dole Whip, which you should not miss. There are also Dole whip floats and various flavors that you can swirl with the classic pineapple, like raspberry and coconut. Aloha Isle Our favorite thing on the menu here right now is the Tropical Serenade — a 50th anniversary treat that features POG (pineapple, orange, and guava) juice with coconut dole whip. This spot used to be on Mobile Order, but it isn’t anymore. Seating is limited, so you’ll likely have to take your treat to go. PROS: DOLE Whips! Seasonal menu changes, so there might be some unique/interesting options Our favorite 50th anniversary treat lives here: the Tropical Serenade! CONS: Not on Mobile Order anymore Only sweet things on the menu — no savory Very limited seating OVERALL: 9/10 Check out a new snack at Aloha Isle here. There you have it!

Disney World is a magical place, but that doesn’t mean that everything runs smoothly 100% of the time. There are sometimes emergency situations in the parks, and Disney generally has plans in place to handle those events. EPCOT Tonight in EPCOT, it looks like one such event has occurred. The Harmonious barges appeared to catch fire during EPCOT’s fireworks show. The barges are large structures in the middle of the World Showcase Lagoon, from which the fireworks are set off during the Harmonious show. These barges also display projections and lights. Harmonious Barges Tonight, several visitors in EPCOT tweeted videos that showed one part of the barges appearing to catch fire. Stay tuned to DFB for more updates.
