food IS a theme park
It’s Disney World’s 50th Anniversary! And the whole resort is celebrating!
Tree of Life
We’re celebrating, too, by enjoying the new character cavalcade, two new nighttime shows, a ton of new merchandise, and SO MUCH FOOD. But we’re also drinking some special 50th Anniversary drinks, and well, we’ve found one that just became one of our favorites!
We can’t believe the day has finally arrived, but here we are! It’s Disney World’s 50th Anniversary!
Joffrey’s
And we are enjoying EVERYTHING about the big party, including the new cavalcade, the new character outfits, the new merchandise, and of course, ALL THE NEW FOOD. I mean, are you surprised we’re most excited about the food?
It’s here! Disney World is celebrating its 50th anniversary and there is a LOT to look forward to at the biggest party we’ve seen at Disney World in a long time!
Sunshine Tree Terrace
We’ve got TWO new fireworks shows, LOADS of 50th anniversary merchandise, the 50 gold character statues, every park icon becoming a Beacon of Magic, and SO much more. But more importantly, we’ve got LOADS OF NEW FOOD to try, and, well, we won’t lie — that’s what we’re super excited about!
It’s a rather busy day at Disney World! Do you think there’s some sort of celebration happening?
Cinderella Castle
Of course, today is the day we’ve been waiting for — it’s the 50th Anniversary! We’ve been all over Disney World this week checking out all of the 50th Anniversary offerings around the parks and resort and eating as many EARidescent treats as humanly possible. And now we’re trying one of the drinks that we’ve been most excited about!
We’ve already been to most of the 2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival booths, but a few of them didn’t open until today.
EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
Although several of the booths were going to open on October 1st, a whole bunch of them opened early! But there were still a couple that we had to wait for, including an old favorite: the Belgium booth!
When it comes to Disney World restaurants, it’s ALL about the theming. OK, THAT…and good food and drinks help too. 😉 One location with a stellar backstory and some pretty neat theming we RARELY visit though? Enzo’s Hideaway Tunnel Bar in Disney Springs.
Enzo’s Hideaway Tunnel Bar
We have a confession to make: we haven’t been back here for another review since it opened back in early 2018. Our first experience was…underwhelming, to put it mildly. But, every place deserves a second chance. Especially when you have a killer backstory and fun theming, right? So we’re heading back to the tunnels for a second round.
It’s spooky season at Disney World, and you know what that means!
Halloween is here!!!
That means we’re shopping for the most fun Halloween merchandise at Disney World, while also trying out all the amazing Halloween snacks and drinks. And we’ve got a MONSTER of a drink to share with you today!
We LOVE this time of year — the time when all the fall and Halloween food and drinks come out and make us think of cool days, colorful leaves, and everything we pretty much don’t get here in Florida, at least in early September.
Block and Hans
We’ve already dived into so many goodies, including a spicy (!!!) cupcake, a fun push pop with LOADS of icing, a boozy colorful flight of drinks, and a Haunted Mansion cake! Although we love all the new treats we’ve had a chance to check out, we’re also excited to see some returning faves!
Are you planning a trip to Hawaii?

If so, you might have plans to visit Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, where you can meet some cool characters and attend a fun luau. But if you’re not actually planning to stay there, you might want to get updated on the latest policy change that could affect your visit.
Dockside Margaritas in Disney Springs is home to a variety of margaritas, and it sometimes features creative concoctions like the Chipotle-Pineapple Margarita!
Cheers!!!
Right now, this spot has a special drink available, just in time for the Halloween season, and we’re checking it out to see if it’s something you should get.
