food IS a theme park
Nothing complements a day by the pool like a refreshing drink or cocktail, and luckily at Disney World, there’s no shortage of Pool Bars!
The Drop Off
Today we popped over to the Drop Off Pool Bar over at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, which has really stepped up its cocktail game lately, and we were happy to find a new drink on the menu!
Disney World is the Most Magical Place on Earth, but the Most Perfect Place on Earth? Not unless your idea of “perfect” is being taunted by a s’more.
Magic Kingdom
We typically have an AMAZING time when we visit Disney World, but we won’t pretend that everything always goes as smooth as the Skyliner (or, you know, not). For example, here are five things that went hilariously horribly wrong this week!
Although it may not be the most thrilling ride at Disney World, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover is a serious fan favorite! So you can imagine everyone’s worry and fear when this leisurely trip around Tomorrowland didn’t reopen with the park last summer. Since then, we watched in agony as its closure was extended again and again (and again, and again).
PeopleMover
To be honest, there was a time when we thought the PeopleMover was completely DOOMED, destined to follow in the footsteps of its west coast counterpart. But thanks to an announcement from the President of Walt Disney World, Jeff Vahle, we finally learned that the PeopleMover WOULD be moving people once again! And that day is today, friends.
Hey Beauty and the Beast fans, we spotted something you might want to add to your wishlist!
Disney Springs
When it comes to Disney movies, Beauty and the Beast gets its fair share of merchandise. We’ve seen everything from mugs to fancy tops that feature our favorite characters from the film. But did you know you can also rep one of the movie’s most underrated characters with your Disney souvenir??
You never know what you’ll find on a visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, especially if the animals are out and about.
A perfect view!
This week in Animal Kingdom we spotted some fun characters, and some interesting souvenirs, but this morning we were party to some very interesting gossip!
It’s been well…a YEAR for everyone, but especially for Disney World’s PeopleMover. The Magic Kingdom attraction closed over a year ago and we’re still waiting for it to reopen.
Patiently waiting…
The reopening was delayed, then delayed again, and then delayed AGAIN. But earlier this week, Disney announced that the ride would be up and running “late this weekend.”
In case you missed it, it’s almost Oscars night! And get this — the Walt Disney Company has received a total of 15 nominations! Woo-hoo!
Soul of Jazz
Some of our favorite movies from the last year have been nominated, including Soul, Mulan, Onward, Burrow, The One and Only Ivan, and more! So which movies will take home Academy Awards — we don’t know, but we can’t wait to watch and find out! It’s Oscars Party time!
So…is the PeopleMover opening or nah?
Rise and Shine, Tomorrowland!
This week, it was announced that the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover’s refurbishment of over a year was finally coming to an end this weekend. We spotted updated hours for the attraction on the Disney website, and upon talking to Cast Members, were told that today might be the magical day. So, we were at Magic Kingdom bright and early this morning to scope out the situation for ourselves.
Paging Star Command! Think you have what it takes to defeat Zurg and save the galaxy? Then you’re going to have to blast off to infinity and beyond on Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom!
Want to be a Galactic Hero?
And once you blast off, you’ll be wanting to reach that coveted status of Galactic Hero, right? But how exactly do you go about nabbing 999,999 points on this ride? Well, we just reached Galactic Hero Status, and now we’re going to tell you EXACTLY how we got there.
We’ve been anxiously awaiting the grand opening of Space 220 in EPCOT for years…literally!
Space 220
Set next to the Mission: SPACE attraction in EPCOT, Space 220 is a restaurant unlike any other in Disney World. To enter the restaurant, guests will board an elevator that will simulate transporting them 220 miles above Earth to the Centauri Space Station. Once inside, guests will be treated to a full panoramic view of space as they dine! Sounds great, right? If it ever opens, that is!
