food IS a theme park
We’ve really been in the collecting spirit this year from the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction Collection!

shopDisney has announced another collection that will debut this weekend! It will feature some of our favorite Disney princesses and the castles in which they live!
Earlier, we were moved to tears when we saw Magic Kingdom was still raising and lowering the American flag each day to inspire our country.
Disneyland Fire Department
And at Disneyland today, a light still shines brightly in the window above the Main Street, U.S.A.’s fire station in remembrance of Walt Disney himself.
OK, we know things are crazy right now. But fear not. Future vacations ARE on the horizon, I promise. And when you DO go back to Disney World, this info is going to come in VERY handy, trust me.
Being on vacation means an escape from the mundanity of life and the tasks that take up waaay too many hours of our time normally. One of those chores we’re more than happy to escape from is laundry!
Epcot
But sometimes you find yourself in a bit of a dilemma! How did you blow through a week’s worth of socks in just three days? Why did you only pack two pairs of shorts? Oh no…your kid (or your husband…or you…let’s be honest) forgot to pack underwear!? What if you’re headed somewhere other than home after your trip to Disney World or Disneyland and your suitcase could only hold so much? The solution becomes pretty clear — you need to do some laundry for your vacation-vibes to survive!
You know what we could really go for right now? CUPCAKES!!! And not just any cupcakes — we’re talking about the special ones only Sprinkles makes — or the ones you can design at home using their special kit!

Not every Sprinkles location may be open right now, BUT if there’s a bakery near you that’s still goin’ strong, they’ll bring their delicious cupcakes right to your door! Why — that’s the next best thing to having the Easter Bunny stop by with a basket of candy!
Update: As of April 17th, the governor has allowed some beaches and parks to reopen. Gatherings of 50 or more people are prohibited and social distancing must be practiced.
A little over a week ago residents of Orange county followed shortly by Osceola county went under orders to stay at home. Walt Disney World Resort resides between these two jurisdictions.

But today, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced a 30-day stay at home order for all of Flordia. This order begins on April 2nd at midnight.
There are few things we are looking forward to this year as much as the 2020 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival! Epcot is often seen as the “adult park” in comparison to the other Disney parks, so some families struggle with the idea of bringing children along.
2019 Food and Wine Festival
Not only is Epcot an excellent park for the whole family, but the Food and Wine Festival itself is a great place to take kids! If you’re having doubts, or if your kids scoff at the idea of a “Food and Wine Festival,” we know of some pretty enticing kid-friendly activities so they can enjoy the festival WITH you this year!
While The Walt Disney Company has had to make several costly moves lately including closing down its parks until further notice and delaying movie premieres, it seems they’re also thinking ahead.
Cinderella Castle
First reported by Orlando Business Journal, the company has just closed a deal to acquire more land near Walt Disney World Resort.
Back when Disney World’s temporary closure first began, we noticed the American flag still appeared to be flying high on Main Street, U.S.A. across from the entrance to Magic Kingdom.

Even though the Disney parks were absent of people, we could feel the strong presence of the star-spangled banner still being flown, and we hope you did too.
There’s SO much exciting Disney Parks Wishables news today, folks! While just moments ago we told you about the new Pandora: The World of Avatar Wishables Series, now we’re back to tell you about another collection!
