food IS a theme park
Disneyland Paris originally closed in March 2020, and then later reopened in July. However, it closed again in October.

Although Disneyland Paris was supposed to reopen on April 2nd, Disney recently announced that it would not reopen on that date. But it is reopening soon, although not as a theme park.
As Disney World’s 50th anniversary gets closer and closer, we’re constantly learning new things in Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
January was quite the month for news, and February was busy as well, but March had its fair share of important updates! We’ve seen 50th anniversary decorations, characters in new locations, and a Disney World water park reopened. Let’s dive into ALL of the biggest updates from this past month!
Calling all toys! We’ve got something new(ish) for the next time you’re visiting Andy’s toy box in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Entrance to Toy Story Land
We love stopping by Toy Story Land to get our fix of Totchos and ride some attractions with Woody and the other toys. But today we didn’t even make it all the way into the land before stopping to check out a new souvenir-drink combo!
You walk into a typical gift shop in Disney World and pretty much know what to expect — there will generally be t-shirts, spirit jerseys, maybe a few Crocs, shoulder plushes, etc. — the typical, standard stuff.
Welcome to EPCOT!
And, don’t get us wrong, there is NOTHING bad about those typical items. In fact, a lot of them are great, super cute, and fantastic adds to your Disney collection. But, if you’re looking for some unique merchandise in all of EPCOT, and really all of Disney World, there’s 1 place you absolutely, positively, 100% NEED to visit.
It’s time to EAT, people!
Cinderella Castle
We keep a close eye out for any changes to the food up for grabs in Disney World. Lately, we’ve clued ya in that TONS of new treats are on the way — and we’ve told you all about a secret menu or two! Now, we spotted some new options for munching over at Magic Kingdom.
If you haven’t noticed, Disney has taken quite a few steps to make its parks more environmentally friendly. In 2018, Disney announced it would ban single-use plastic straws at its parks.

We also recently noticed some changes at Disney World: our beloved plastic cheese (okay, it’s not REALLY plastic, but that’s what we call it) in pre-packaged plastic cups was being phased out in favor of cardboard cups of plastic cheese at select locations. And we’ve even spotted special trash cans in the parks for compost waste!
Hello, everyone!!!
OoOoOoOoOoh!
We spent some time at Disney’s Hollywood Studios taking in the sights (like does seeing the Hollywood Tower Hotel looming over everything EVER get old?), living our best life, checking out new food and new merchandise, and saying hello to some favorite characters. So here’s what’s new since the last time we were here!
Disney World has some great treats, but we shouldn’t overlook other Disney treats around the world either.

Disney has resorts in a LOT of places including the islands of Hawaii. Aulani, A Disney Resort and Spa is located in Ko Olina and makes for a relaxing a BEAUTIFUL trip for any Disney fan. Plus, Aulani has its OWN treats — and we caught wind of a sweet one today.
We’re just about a month out from the reopening of the Disneyland Resort theme parks!

As we gear up for our return to the parks, we also get to get PUMPED about all of the eats we’ll get to taste. Sure, we’ve gotten to have some of our favorites at A Touch of Disney events, but now we’re looking at some new and returning eats that are coming to the Resort!
Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park have been closed for OVER a year (except for some minimal reopenings, like through the A Touch of Disney event). But, both theme parks are set to reopen in just a few weeks!
Soon Guests Will Be Able to Visit Disneyland Again!
We’ve already seen some ways in which Disneyland will be different when it reopens due to the reopening guidelines and restrictions, but now we’ve got another update. If you’re looking for a spot to grab an alcoholic beverage in Disneyland, you’ll soon have one more place to go!
