food IS a theme park
A LOT has changed in Disney World over the past few months, and we’re finally back in the parks to experience it.
Magic Kingdom
One of the biggest changes has to do with HOW we get into the parks. A park ticket alone doesn’t cut it anymore. Instead, entry requires valid admission AND a Disney Park Pass reservation to help limit capacity. Which led us to wonder — what if we want a mid-day break? Can you LEAVE a reopened Disney Park and return the same day? We’ve got answers!

And now we think we spotted some! You gotta see these new Dooney and Bourke bags we just discovered on shopDisney which features some of our favorite swinging pals from the classic film!
Walt Disney World has started a phased reopening with Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom this week.
Gaiters at Chapel Hats in Disney Springs
Disney released guidelines set by the CDC for acceptable forms of face-coverings that are required for entry. One policy is that that masks should “be secured with ties or ear loops.” This caused some confusion as Neck Gaiters, a popular face covering that slips over your mouth and nose, don’t have earloops and are not secured with ties.

Walt Disney World has PLENTY of transportation options, from buses to the monorail to the Skyliner and everything in between!

But when Walt Disney World officially reopens Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom on July 11th and Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios on July 15th, not EVERY type of vehicle will be available.
When Epcot officially reopens on July 15th, there’s going to be a brand new hybrid food festival, the Taste of Epcot International Food and Wine Festival.
Epcot
We’ve FINALLY gotten menus for the 20 signature marketplaces that will be spaced out around the theme park, but we know that no festival is complete without merchandise!
Can you believe Food and Wine time is just around the corner?? While the 2020 Epcot Food and Wine Festival will run from July 15th through the Fall (the longest running festival EVER), you can see the FULL booth menus and more now!

We’ve been all over Walt Disney World today checking out what’s new for the reopening!
Emporium Adult Apparel
We spotted something real cute while perusing the Emporium in Magic Kingdom. Honestly, it’s the perfect purchase to prepare us for those notorious Disney World summer thunderstorms. [Read more…]
We had a few of our team members arrive at Magic Kingdom this morning to attend the special Annual Passholder preview that’s happening today!
Magic Kingdom
And just about all of us took a different method of transportation to get here! See what our team experienced driving their own cars to Disney World today as well as riding the monorail and using the Disney World buses to get to the gates of Magic Kingdom! We also checked out the ferryboats on our way out of the park today too!
We’re back at Walt Disney World and taking note of all the new sights, sounds, and tastes!
Starbucks
It’s not a day at Disney without stopping into Starbucks for a little morning magic! We slipped into Creature Comforts at Animal Kingdom to get a feel for the new ordering procedures and, of course, try out a new drink on the menu!
We’ve been walking around all day today at the Magic Kingdom during Annual Passholder previews checking out wait times, spotting social distancing measures, and of course, riding some rides!
Magic Kingdom
And while there are plenty of rides and attractions officially open at The Most Magical Place on Earth, one of our FAVORITE rides was sadly down!
