food IS a theme park
Planning a Disney World trip in 2025?
Welcome to Disney World!
There are a few BIG updates you absolutely need to know before packing your Minnie ears and hitting Main Street, U.S.A., and they’re the kind that are shaking up the park experience, so let’s break it all down for you.
Let me start by saying this: Disney World is one of my favorite places on Earth. The magic, the rides, the snacks – it’s all perfection.
Magic Kingdom
But even the Most Magical Place on Earth isn’t immune to those less-than-magical moments. We’ve all been there. So, let’s get real about the times Disney World wasn’t so dreamy. Grab your Mickey ears and your favorite snack because I’m spilling the tea on my most uncomfortable Disney experiences.
When in Disney World, one does as the native Disney World-ites do – get a DOLE Whip!
Pineapple Dole Whip
Listen, we all love the creamy, tropical vibes of the classic DOLE Whip soft serve. It really is a staple of any Disney World trip and an essential treat to beat that Florida heat, but, I’m here to say that if you’re sticking to soft serve alone, you’re seriously missing out. Why? Three words – DOLE Whip Slush! So let’s talk about this twist and how it’s turning this classic dessert into a sip-worthy, next-level refreshment!
Disney World is magical, but let’s face it. Waiting in long lines isn’t exactly part of the fantasy.
That’s a long line!
If you want to maximize your time, skipping the lines is key. Two of the best strategies are using Disney’s Lightning Lanes or arriving early for rope drop. But which one works best for you? Let’s break it down so you can plan the perfect park day.
