food IS a theme park
We know it feels like 2025 just started, but we’re starting to look at the calendar to plan our 2026 Disney World trips!
Let’s go to Disney World
Disney just dropped their 2026 vacation bookings, so we have all the details on what trips will look like next year. There are cheaper and more expensive times to go to Disney World, and with Disney announcing the ticket prices for 2026, we can start figuring it out.
Disney World is FULL of experiences — each one more exciting than the last. And, while we love all the rides and all the food (we are the Disney FOOD Blog, after all), we can’t get enough of the world-class entertainment at Disney World, either.
Chip ‘n’ Dale at Magic Kingdom
From character meet-and-greets to incredible theatrical shows and more, Disney World entertainment is top-notch. But, we know we can’t be the only ones who have had some seriously frustrating experiences when it comes to the Magic Kingdom parade!
Disney fans, it’s time to get EXCITED. We’re here with an update on the vote for Disneyland’s $1.9 billion park expansion.
Disneyland
Announced in 2021, DisneylandForward came into play as a multi-year Disneyland and Anaheim Resort expansion and redesign that would expand and update two existing approvals from the 1990s. In layman’s terms, DisneylandForward would not only allow extra theme park development to the land surrounding the Disneyland Resort, but also expand the resort’s lodging, retail, parking, and dining options. Over the past few months, Disney representatives have been meeting with Anaheim’s city council to shed more light on the proposed plans — attempting to gain the council’s vote in favor of the expansion. Now, we have an update!
Disney Springs is just filled to the brim with all sorts of food options.
4R Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck
If you’re looking for somethin’ quick and easy, the 4 Rivers Cantina Barbacoa (4R) food truck is a great option. Here, you can find delicious traditional Mexican Barbacoa — from Nachos, Tacos, and Quesadillas, to things like Taco Cones and Burrito Bowls filled with your choice of meats like Brisket Barbacoa or Pork Sofrito. The food here is great and remains a popular choice for a reason. If you love hitting up this food truck or were planning to soon, we have some bad news.
An age-old debate among Disney World visitors is if it’s really WORTH IT to stay at one of Disney World’s hotels.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
There are tons of perks to staying on-property, from proximity to the parks to eligibility for the Disney Dining Plan. However, there’s another perk that people either don’t know or forget about in the midst of all the other planning. You can find it on your phone — in the My Disney Experience app. Let’s talk about it!
I’m about to put y’all in a REALLY good mood. Life got ya down? Look no further. I’ve got some good news to share.
Cinderella Castle

Today, we’re here to outline each of these things for you so that you can share this excitement with us. If you’re hoping to be put in a very good mood, just keep on reading.
Visiting Disney World can be daunting, especially if you or someone you love is living with a disability.
Cinderella Castle
Disability Access Service (DAS) is designed to accommodate guests and their families who have difficulty tolerating extended waits in a conventional queue environment due to a disability. The service allows you to schedule a return time that is comparable to the current queue wait for the given attraction. It does not provide immediate attraction access. Disney announced on April 9th that the DAS system would undergo some important changes, and we’re here to break those down for you.
As a runDisney fanatic, I’m super glad that the Disney World races are seeming to increase in popularity.

It’s super fun, and I’m happy that the events are starting to get the attention they deserve. However, there IS a downside to this increase in popularity.
