DisneyDining Disney Dining Plan and Reviews

On September 24 it was announced that Walt Disney World was rolling out plant-based options in all of its quick service and table service restaurants. The date given for the new choices was October 1. I was invited to be part of a small media group on October 3, and we learned more about the new choices.    First let ...

October 1, 2019 was a big day at Epcot. It was the beginning of two new major experiences. There was also a smaller option that was introduced as part of the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. I was part of a hosted media group that got to experience it all. First the new small option. The Donut Box is ...

The rides, attractions, and restaurants at Walt Disney World are maintained on a regular basis. This keeps guests safe. Sometimes, though, extra work is needed. A ride, attraction, store, or restaurant might close for refurbishment. It could be that the closure is just for a few days so that the elements of the area can be deep-cleaned, and maybe a ...

The Disney Skyliner is the newest form of transportation at Walt Disney World. It uses gondolas to take guests from some of the resorts to either Epcot or Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The Disney Skyliner opens to the public on September 29. On September 27, I attended a media event that included the dedication, plus a chance to ride. If you ...

On Tuesday, September 24 I was part of a media group that was invited to learn more about Disney’s Riviera Resort. We did not actually step foot onto the new property, we instead toured the models that are located in the Disney Vacation Club Preview Center. Still, what we saw was quite impressive. Of course I would expect nothing less ...

The 2019 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival began on August 29, which was also the day that Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened here in Florida. That was immediately followed by Hurricane Dorian and all of the uncertainty that came with the storm. It has also been hot, even by Florida’s standards! I’ve been to Epcot a few times since ...

When my daughter and I were in Anaheim for the D23 Expo in August, we were hosted by the incredible Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel. The hotel is close to opening a brand new full service place to eat; Hanagi Japanese Restaurant. Although it was not yet open when we were there, we were invited to attend a special meal that ...

Can you think of a time when Walt Disney World was more exciting? We have delicious restaurants, limited time attractions coming to an end, and a brand new galaxy! Hurricane Dorian is gone, and the fall weather has to arrive one of these days, doesn’t it? Here are ten reasons why you need to stop thinking about an impromptu vacation ...

The 2019 D23 Expo was held in Anaheim on August 23 through 25. It’s a bi-annual convention, and it takes place at the Anaheim Convention Center, which is very close to Disneyland. Since my daughter and I were covering the convention for Disney Dining and Disney Tips, we needed a place to stay. Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel offered to host ...

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is the most ambitious expansion ever at any of the Disney Parks. After all, people (myself included) have been dreaming of living out their own Star Wars experience since 1977! I have been lucky enough to visit Galaxy’s Edge on both coasts. I’ve shared lots of information; from official events, as a regular guest, and as ...
