On this very special holiday week episode, we're discussing all of the theme park restaurants and dining i delved into while at Walt Disney World earlier this month. Is it brutally honest? kinda!! Some old favorites have fallen out of favor while some newer (and new-to-me!) table-service restaurants and quick-service spots wowed me. Come for my unabashed love of a reliable Magic Kingdom restaurant, and stay for me maybe never doing character dining again?? If you're wondering where to eat at Disney World, this one will have you covered and more! Relevant Links...

Universal Express, which offers skip-the-line benefits on rides and attractions throughout Universal Studios Hollywood, will NOT allow guests to skip the line on Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge when Super Nintendo World opens. It will only allow them to skip the reservation system process to freely enter the land, one time per day, when the reservation system is in place.
