food IS a theme park
A HUGE Disney World hotel perk will be changing SOON!
Tree of Life
With so many great deals and promotions Disney World has recently released, we wouldn’t blame you if you said you were caught between a few choices of where to stay for your next visit. However, if extra time after the normal park hours are finished on select days makes your ears perk up, there’s a specific change happening soon you’ll want to take notice of before you arrive!

Dining in Disney World isn’t cheap, that much is for sure, so we’re always on the lookout for the best deals you can find while you’re experiencing the parks.
EPCOT
Most of the time, we say these deals are found at quick service locations around the parks, not at table service restaurants, and certainly not those with prix-fixe meals. However, that’s changing, because there’s a NEW $29 prix-fixe meal coming to a restaurant in EPCOT this summer, and you won’t want to miss it!
Who’s ready to visit EPCOT’s most problematic (and only!) tiny village?
Welcome back!
The tiny train town in the Germany Pavilion is one of my favorite places to visit because there are so many quirky stories to uncover among the residents there. In fact, I visit and report on their shenanigans so often that I’ve been dubbed the mayor of the itty bitty city. And during Madam Mayor’s most recent visit, I found some interesting tidbits.
A strong case could be made that Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is currently the most popular ride at Walt Disney World. The coaster has dominated the resort’s average wait times nearly every week since it transitioned from a virtual queue to a traditional standby line earlier this year. Behind the scenes, the ride is one of the resort’s most advanced.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
The attraction, which first opened in May of 2022, is based on the popular spacefaring Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) franchise. Rumors of the Guardians characters coming to Walt Disney World began almost immediately after the first film was released, partially because the first film was a monstrous hit, and partially because the characters are some of the only Marvel properties not barred from appearing at Walt Disney World due to Marvel’s preexisting licensing deal with Universal. These rumors only strengthened with the opening of Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout at Disney’s California Adventure in May of 2017. Later that year, Cosmic Rewind was announced as coming to EPCOT, and replacing Ellen’s Energy Adventure, which was a light retheme of the opening day EPCOT attraction Universe of Energy.
Disney just announced the menu for their new Spaceship Earth adults-only lounge opening up SOON!

American Adventure
However, what if you’re craving a classic theme park kind of snack that can satisfy your sweet tooth?

Well, we did JUST THAT recently to get you a full review of the funnel cakes.

Earlier this year, Disney announced that a brand new lounge was coming to EPCOT’s most iconic location: Spaceship Earth. According to Disney, the new lounge will be inspired by the ‘stories, shapes, and enduring legacy of Spaceship Earth. There will be lots of rich textures and warm metallic tones for a mysterious and elegant intimacy.
