food IS a theme park
There’s just something special about drinking around Disney Springs, especially if you can hit up a Happy Hour deal!

And one of our fav spots to hit up has been Paradiso 37!
If you’re like us, you know the best thing about Disney’s Animal Kingdom isn’t necessarily Flight of Passage or Expedition Everest…

The best thing about Animal Kingdom is right there in the park’s name — the ANIMALS, of course!
It’s one of the absolute CRAZIEST times of the year at Walt Disney World…the bustling week between Christmas and New Year’s!
Even though Disney World is still operating under limited capacity, there’s a certain undeniable buzz in the air during this time of year, and you really have to SEE it to feel it. And if you aren’t there yourself, well, don’t sweat it. Take a journey with us from our photos and videos from Walt Disney World on December 29th!
In case you missed it, Orlando-area cult favorite bakery Gideon’s Bakeshop has OFFICIALLY opened a location at Disney Springs!

This sweet spot, known for its massive, loaded cookies, iced coffee, and cakes, has been a HUGE hit ever since it opened at Walt Disney World’s shopping and dining district. It’s even had to implement a virtual queue system (not unlike those we see for entering popular shops around Disney World)!
Though Disney World increased the theme park capacity back in November, some families decided to stay home for the holidays.

But, just because some guests decided not to spend Christmas in the most magical place on earth doesn’t mean Disney wasn’t a big part of their holiday season! And, with a Disney-fied recipe of hot chocolate in hand, it seems that MANY Disney lovers turned to Disney’s streaming service — Disney+ — for some holiday entertainment.
The year of 2020 is finally coming to a close and holiday decor has begun its transition back to storage. While many may be feeling the post-Christmas blues, this is our time to focus on the future and celebrate the New Year!

We know that there are BIG things coming to Disney in 2021. The 50th anniversary is just around the corner and there is much to celebrate! Many of us are excited to put 2020 behind us and are looking forward to watching the clock countdown to midnight as we step into 2021. As you may know, Disney World is closing earlier than usual on New Years Eve this year. But a location close to Disney World will be celebrating 2021 past midnight.Â
We’re just days away from 2021, and if you’re planning on spending any part of New Year’s Eve in a Disney World theme park, you’ll need to make sure you’ve got a valid Park Pass reservation for the park you want to visit.

We checked on Park Pass availability recently and shared that with you, but when we checked again today we noticed that things have changed!

California Governor Gavin Newsom has implemented a system where “Stay-at-Home” orders are put in place in regions within the state once that particular area falls below 15% ICU capacity.
Buena Vista Street
Earlier this month, some regions, including Southern California — where Disneyland Resort is located — fell below this capacity level, triggering the stay-at-home order to be implemented in that region. The stay-at-home order is then set in place for a minimum of three weeks, at which point the situation can then be reevaluated. The order was set to expire in Southern California on December 28th, but as California’s ICU capacity continues to fall, Governor Newsom has announced that the stay-at-home order will remain in place in Southern California.
Cinderella Castle has gone through some serious changes this year!

We’re starting to get used to the rose and gold paint job on the Castle, but it’s still pretty new! Now, Disney has filed several permits that might mean MORE work on Cinderella Castle! Let’s take a look!
