food IS a theme park
More and more spots are slowly reopening in Disney World.
Hollywood Studios
This morning, we got the news that another Hollywood Studios snack spot would be returning tomorrow. Well, SURPRISE, because Epic Eats is actually open RIGHT NOW!
It’s the holiday season, which means it’s shopping time!

Due to the global pandemic, things have looked a bit different around Disney this holiday season, and there were some changes during Halloween time as well.
Magic Kingdom
While we got Halloween cavalcades, fun merchandise, and spooky decor, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party was canceled this year and we definitely missed it! Ever wonder what the 2020 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party merchandise would have looked like and wish that you have had the chance to buy some of it? Well, if you live in the Orlando area, you can NOW buy 1 piece of 2020 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party merchandise from the parties that could have been!
Ah, Italy. A place of romance, beauty, and spaghetti.
Italy Pavilion
We love to spot new MagicBands in and out if the Disney Parks. Seriously, talk about a functional accessory! We’ve recently spotted a bunch of new MagicBands online, including the Toy Story 25th Anniversary one, and now we’ve found a bellissimo new band in EPCOT’s Italy!
We’ve been seeing more and more restaurants and quick-service locations begin to reopen throughout Disney World.
Epic Eats
And lately, it seems more have been reopening over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, including ABC Commissary, KRNR The Rock Station Food Truck, and Woody’s Lunch Box!

We’ve also been keeping a watchful eye on the construction happening over at Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew, which was showing some signs of progress on our most recent visit!
The holiday season can really inspire people to be kinder, more joyous, and more generous to those in need.
Make a Wish collection
But the truth is, no matter what holidays you celebrate or don’t celebrate, it’s always a good time to help others. Earlier this year, we compiled a list of resources for and ways that you can help Cast Members in need in light of the recent furloughs and layoffs. We also shared other ways that you could help others, like by purchasing some of Disney’s Wishes Come True Blue collection to benefit Make-A-Wish.
Now, we’re compiling a list of some fantastic organizations that you can donate to or purchase from to help kids, Cast Members, and more.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
