food IS a theme park
The Disney Resorts have started to re-open around the Disney World property, and we’ve been taking you with us to check them all out.
Grand Floridian Resort
While we’ve already given you a look at dining at the Grand Floridian Cafe, today we noticed some new construction at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort!
While we’ve been dining at places like Wine Bar George or popping over to the World of Disney for a shopping spree, we’re ready to keep adding to our Minnie ears collection!
World of Disney
Even though you may not be able to pin trade in the usual way at Disney World for the time being, we found a way to show off your collection of pins and your ears at the same time!
Disney World will be re-opening its parks to guests on July 11th and July 15th! But, now Disney Springs and the select Disney Resorts have already welcomed everyone back officially.
Beach Club
Although you’re probably spending your time eating at your favorite Disney restaurants again or shopping at some of the awesome stores, we’ve got another way to add some magic to your weekend!
Disney World has implemented a number of new safety requirements for guests and Cast Members, including social distancing and face coverings.
Beach Club Resort
While there are guidelines for face masks and social distancing to keep everyone safe, there are some situations in the parks that may prevent Cast Members from maintaining the recommended six feet of distance from guests.
Although Disney Springs has reopened with comprehensive health and safety regulations, situations in the shopping and dining district are constantly changing and evolving.
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar Closed
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, Dockside Margaritas, and Rustic Cuff have all suddenly closed this week. And another Disney Springs store has unexpectedly shut its doors to guests this weekend as well.
Select Disney World Resort hotels reopened on June 22nd. Currently, buses are the only form of Disney transportation available for guests to navigate around property.
Monorail
But, even though the Monorail isn’t yet available for guest transportation, it has been spotted out and about near Magic Kingdom — with some new additions! Social distancing barriers have been added inside the Monorail.
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another DFB Video, and today we’re talking about ALL the Disney Parks news you need to know!
Grand Floridian Resort
Disney World will be opening in just a few weeks to guests, starting with Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom on July 11th and Hollywood Studios and Epcot on July 15th. While Disneyland was also previously scheduled to re-open soon after on July 17th, the parks’ re-opening dates have been postponed. However, Downtown Disney will still be opening to guests on July 9th. And, that doesn’t even scratch the surface of how much Disney Parks news we have to share with you!
Obviously, Disney has some pretty amazing food options for kids.
Kona Cafe
We know you’ve seen the iconic Mickey Premium Bar and the Corn Dog Nuggets at Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom. But what if we told you there’s a TOTALLY adorable kids’ option that you’ve never heard of! Well we’re headed to the hidden gem of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Kona Cafe, to let you in on this AMAZING kids’ meal.
Oh, Disney World restaurants — how we miss you!
Garden Grill Restaurant
While you know our affinity for spots like Wine Bar George (thank goodness the flaming cheese is back) and Garden Grill, there are a few restaurants around the parks we are missing more than we thought we would!
It’s no secret that Disney loves mountain-themed attractions. Disney has mountain-themed rides around the globe — four of which are in Disney World. These include Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain (which will be getting a BRAND NEW overlay soon!), and Expedition Everest.
