food IS a theme park
It’s the end of an era at Disney World.
Jellyrolls
Jellyrolls announced earlier this month that it will be leaving Disney’s BoardWalk after 30 years of operation. The boisterous dueling piano bar will have its final day of operation on April 19th, and while it will be reopening somewhere not on Disney property, we can’t help but feel the sting. So, we’re sharing our favorite stories from Jellyrolls over the years!
Staying at Disney World hotels provides numerous perks that can help make your vacation better! For example, you can take advantage of a complimentary day at a Disney World water park on your check-in day, enjoy extra time in the park with Early Entry, and get free parking at the theme parks.
Disney’s Riviera Resort
Another big perk is taking advantage of complimentary Disney World transportation. This transportation can pretty much get you anywhere you want to go on Disney World property and includes a network of boats, buses, monorails, and the Skyliner. However, one Disney World hotel’s transportation options have decreased.
It’s no secret that we have quite a long list of favorite foods you’ll find around Disney World. Corn dog nuggets from Casey’s Corner? Check. Cheeseburger Pods from Satu’li Canteen? Check. But, just because we have our top eats doesn’t mean we’re not always looking for MORE snacks to add to our favorites list.
The Cake Bake Shop
We heard there were some new treats available at The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers, so you know we had to RUN to go check it out. How does it compare to the other sweet treats we’ve tried from this bakery? Let’s dig in and find out!
It seems to be the time for construction in Disney World! There are lots of construction walls all over Disney World, including in the closed area of DinoLand U.S.A.
This just doesn’t feel right!
The DinoLand U.S.A. closures began on January 13th, 2025, with the closures of TriceraTop Spin, Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures, and Fossil Fun Game. We were sad when the construction walls went up, and we are also feeling some type of way seeing the progress on TriceraTop Spin.
Disney World is busy making ALL kinds of changes. In Magic Kingdom, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is getting an update, while Disney also works on building a new Cars expansion and Villains land.
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
In Hollywood Studios, a new Monsters, INC. land will replace Muppets Courtyard, while the Muppets will move to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and a new Villains-themed show gets ready to debut. Even Animal Kingdom is getting a new show AND a new land. Well, Disney World hotels are also changing, including Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, which just got a lobby refresh with some brand new furniture.
As the winter of 2025 turns into spring and then summer, many are planning trips to Walt Disney World, and looking to take advantage of some of the limited-time discount offers currently available from the “Most Magical Place on Earth.”
Cinderella Castle
Two of the biggest current offers at the resort are the Save, Stay & Play offer, which is valid for arrivals most nights from February 26th to June 30th, and the Free Dining Plan offer, which is valid from May 27th to June 26th and again from July 7th to August 6th. The former offers savings of up to $200 a night (depending on resort level) when booking a “3-night, 2-day Walt Disney Travel Company room-and-ticket package at select Disney Resort hotels” while the latter offers a free Disney Dining Plan (the type of which depends on the level of hotel booked) to those who book a “non-discounted 3-night, 3-day Walt Disney Travel Company package that includes a room at a select Disney Resorts Collection hotel and a theme park ticket with a Park Hopper option.” So, which of these offers is better? Well, that depends…
A NEW Disney World hotel location has been added to the list of closures.
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
The list of closures has been growing recently, including the addition of many attractions and numerous hotel pools that closed in January. Well, another Disney World hotel location is joining the list of closures this week!
You can tell your group is getting hungry, and someone suggests heading to a sit-down restaurant for a relaxing meal. Everyone agrees, but there is one big problem, you haven’t made any dining reservations. Dun dun dun!
Magic Kingdom
It may seem like the start of a Disney World horror movie, but have no fear because DFB is here with eight restaurants that are perfect for last-minute reservations. Not only do these restaurants usually have last-minute reservations, but they also serve up some delicious food!
When visiting Disney’s BoardWalk, one thing you can’t miss is the enchanting AbracadaBar.
AbracadaBar
With its magician-inspired decor, cozy atmosphere, and mystical vibe, this spot has long been a fan favorite for grabbing a drink and soaking in the themed ambiance. But did you know they’ve added some new food items to their menu? We stopped by to try the latest offerings and see if AbracadaBar’s magic extended to their eats. Let’s dive in!
Okay, we know that the prices of cake slices at The Cake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers have been pretty controversial, but overall, we’ve liked pretty much every slice of cake we’ve tried. The cakes here are an indulgence when you want to throw down some $$$ for something to celebrate a memorable moment or occasion.
The Cake Bake Shop
So when we learned there’s a NEW cake slice to check out, we went running to Disney’s BoardWalk to check it out. We’re bringing you along with us for our review, so let’s go!
