We always keep a close eye on food at Disney World — that’s our job! That’s why we’ve been busy eating our way around the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, nomming on cookies, snacking on amazing dishes, and getting our drink on.

But we haven’t forgotten all the other great dining spots at Disney World. We’re still tracking menu updates and changes as we find them!
It may be hard to believe, but Disney World’s four theme parks have been reopened since JULY of this year. We know, we know, time has just FLOWN by this year, right? Okay, so maybe the idea of time itself is all sorts of jumbled this year, but it’s true! And in the months since Disney World reopened, a lot has changed.
Cinderella Castle
Specifically, we noticed six major areas that have seen changes in the last few months. It’s pretty safe to say that when Disney World reopened in July, there were a whole ton of new rules, regulations, guest offerings, there was even a new castle color! But what has changed SINCE July?
Disney World is known to have some of the most unique snacks.

Some snacks have fun flavors like Fried Crab Potato Chips, while others have items you didn’t think would go together like the new Peppermint Chocolate Beer! And then there are those that have unique looks…like the NEW FACE DONUTS!
The global health crisis continues to be a challenge for the travel industry, especially for Disney, which temporarily closed its theme parks all over the world. Although most have reopened, Disneyland in California has not.

California’s response to the global pandemic, in particular, has kept many attractions in the state closed, although the Walt Disney Family Museum did have the opportunity to reopen on November 5th.
It’s hard to believe that Disney’s Tangled is now 10 years old, but we’re all for celebrating everything Rapunzel!
Dooney & Bourke Tangled Collection
And we’ve loved some of the new merch that’s popped up, including a light-up backpack, kids’ vanity set, and an upcoming gorgeous new Punzie doll. But we think we’re most excited about the Dooney & Bourke Tangled bag collection we just saw recently at Disney World!
In case you missed it, Fantasia is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year!
Sorcerer Mickey at the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival
And that’s important because that’s the movie that gave us one of Mickey Mouse’s most recognizable looks – Sorcerer Mickey! So we’ve loved seeing all the celebratory Fantasia Sorcerer Mickey snow globes, mugs, bags, and more!
One of the most fun parts of a Disney trip is seeing our favorite characters in person!
Characters!
Although typical character meet-and-greets are not currently operating as normal due to health and safety guidelines, Disney has come up with some creative ways for us to still see our favorite pals!
The holiday season is well underway in Disney World — and the crowd levels are starting to reflect that, too!
