Greetings from another exciting day at the Universal Orlando Resort! We’re back and ready to take a look at what’s happening around the parks. Let’s get going! We started our morning at Islands of Adventure for Early Park Admission and when we arrived in Hogsmeade, we were disappointed to see that Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure was delayed. It was a beautiful morning, but storms would move in quickly. That’s typical Florida weather, so be prepared for anything. The “If […]

Magic Kingdom

We stopped by Magic Kingdom recently to check in on anything that might have changed. There wasn’t too much that was new from our last visit but we do have a few construction updates. Take a look!

Magic Kingdom Construction Updates

Main Street, U.S.A.

First up, we noticed that the side street of Main Street, U.S.A. has some bushes blocking the area. We couldn’t tell why the area was blocked, but we’ll be keeping a close eye on the changes.

Main Street

Tomorrowland

There was an update over in Tomorrowland too!

Tomorrowland Pavement

The pavement outside of Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe and Tomorrowland Speedway looked like it had been redone.

Also, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover FINALLY reopened! We were so happy to cruise around Tomorrowland once again.

Opening day on Sunday was definitely a long one filled with evacuations, rain, and plenty of delays. But, it was worth the wait!

REVIEW: Does Disney World’s ‘Luxury’ Fudge Live Up to Its Name?

Throughout EPCOT’s World Showcase, you can find all kinds of specialty snacks from all over the world.

UK Pavilion

We’re often intrigued by the snacks we find in the China and Japan Pavilions, but during one of our most recent visits to EPCOT, something in the U.K. Pavilion piqued our interest.

Now, fudge is a pretty common thing in Disney World, but have you ever seen luxury fudge? That definitely doesn’t sound like your everyday chocolate fudge. And it’s made with Guinness Beer, so it’s pretty different than your run-of-the-mill Disney World fudge. So yeah, we had to try it.

Guinness Luxury Fudge!

The most important thing to note about the Guinness Luxury Fudge is that it isn’t chocolate like you might expect. Generally speaking, traditional British fudge doesn’t actually include chocolate, but rather focuses on sugary and buttery flavors. Plus, the texture is a little different too. It’s not chewy like standard Disney World fudge normally would be, but instead, it melts in your mouth. 

Little Pre-Wrapped Pieces

The fudge had some nuttiness to it, and you can definitely taste the Guinness. So that may be good or bad depending on where you fall on the Guinness-loving spectrum. Overall, we thought these were pretty good!

Not Especially Fudgy

The biggest downfall of this luxury fudge is its “luxury” price. One bag costs $12.95, and Annual Passholder discounts aren’t applicable because it’s a boozy treat. We’d be happy to indulge in some again, but not at this price. If you’d like to try it yourself, you can find it at The Tea Caddy in the U.K. Pavilion in EPCOT! Check back with us for more reviews from Disney World.
