food IS a theme park
La Brea Bakery Cafe in Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort is a great breakfast and brunch joint!

But it’s not just for mornings — La Brea serves lunch and dinner, too. And now, the cafe even offers a Happy Hour Menu!
We’ve already tried SO many holiday snacks, so we might as well add just one more to the list!
HOLIDAY TREATS!
Yesterday, we reported that the Fa La La La Funnel Cake arrived at Sleepy Hollow in Disney’s Magic Kingdom. This location is known for serving up all the delicious battered goodies: funnel cakes, waffles, and corn dogs! Today we stopped by to try out this holiday spin on one of their classic treats.
We noticed something a little different in Magic Kingdom today! We took a spin on Haunted Mansion to get our fix of ghouls and ghosties and noticed that something has changed.

This attraction hasn’t quite been its regular old self since it reopened due to health and safety measures, but now it’s one step closer to normal.
Throughout 2020, the CDC has continued their research on the effectiveness of face coverings in their efforts to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The consensus for many months now has been that wearing proper a face covering is one of the key non-pharmaceutical interventions to protect those around you from catching the virus.

Now, an updated brief from the CDC indicates that wearing a face covering could be as beneficial to the individual wearing the mask as it is to those around them. What is unknown at this time is whether the CDC’s findings could have any repercussions at Disney World, who has regularly updated and tightened down on their own face mask guidelines and policies.
We may not be able to hop on a Disney Cruise Line adventure just yet, but things in the cruise industry are certainly starting to get moving.

The CDC’s No-Sail order has expired, and new requirements have been put in place that cruise companies must meet in order to sail again. Construction is also going on at the terminal Disney Cruise Line uses in Port Canaveral, and now we’ve gotten a peek at the progress and what this updated terminal is looking like right now.
Well, things have started to clear up a little — but we’ve had a pretty rainy day so far in Disney World! Hey, we were sure to have a wet one today!
Rainy Animal Kingdom
After all, Tropical Storm Eta is passing over Florida and you can pretty much expect to have a wet one in Central Florida at any given moment. Missing out on the damp Disney World times? We’re bringing you some rainy day pics and vids!
You’ve got all of your tickets linked in My Disney Experience, you’ve got all of your family members’ accounts set up and ready to go in the app, and you’ve stretched your fingers and practiced tapping at a super fast speed, but when the Boarding Groups for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance are released you only get…a backup boarding group.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
“Backup” boarding groups are assigned to guests after the day’s official boarding groups limit has been reached. Guests with a boarding group may get the chance to ride this incredibly popular ride IF, and only IF, all of the official boarding groups are already called, the attraction is still operating (without technical issues), and the park is still open.
So, you may be wondering — “what are the chances that I get to ride Rise if I only score a backup boarding group?” Here’s what we’ve found out.
We love how quickly Disney World puts up its holiday decorations. We are always awed by the amount of work that goes into getting all the holiday decor up for the first official day of the season.

And although each park slowly gets decorations before the official start of the holidays, it’s the overnight work the day before that is truly magical!
This year, we are celebrating the 65th Anniversary of Disneyland! We are eagerly awaiting to celebrate in person when the park reopens.

While we wait, Disney has been treating us to lots of fun and unique merchandise to celebrate the parks’ 65th year. We have seen tons of merch released on the shopDisney site, and even items available at Target! BoxLunch has also released its own apparel in celebration of the 65th Anniversary that is available to order online!
