food IS a theme park
International travel to Orlando has been lower than in previous years due to the global pandemic.
Flying to Orlando
Foreign flights made up 13% of all flights to Orlando International Airport before the pandemic, now they only make up 6%, according to Orlando Business Journal. However, more international travel is now resuming and one of Orlando’s busiest airlines is planning on trying to boost that number.
What an exciting month July has been in Disney World, and we’re not even half way through! Between Happily Ever After AND EPCOT Forever returning to the parks, we’v also already seen the reopening of Main Street Plaza Ice Cream Parlor, and the kickoff of the Flavors of Florida event in Disney Springs!
Cinderella Castle
It’s a great time to be visiting Disney World with so much MORE to see and do! With that in mind, let’s take a look at the current park hours and Park Pass Reservation availability for the week of July 11th, 2021!
Goooood day, pals! We’re comin’ at you with a review of one of the more controversial restaurants in Disney World and we can’t WAIT to bring you along for the ride.
T-Rex
This time, we’re headed to Disney Springs to visit a HEAVILY-themed restaurant that is loved by some, and hated by others — T-Rex! This dino-themed spot is the sister restaurant to Rainforest Cafe and is known for some pretty spectacular prehistoric theming with some less than spectacular food offerings.
The day has finally arrived…‘Ohana has REOPENED at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort (oh, how we have missed you)!!
It is TIME!
The restaurant will be serving a family-style breakfast and dinner starting today. We’ve already shared details with you about the menus that have been announced for this spot and a HUGE noodles update, but now it’s finally time to eat! Today, we’re sharing a first look at a reopened ‘Ohana and its breakfast menu.
Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream at Disney California Adventure serves up sweet treats that are perfect for beating the heat! Located on the Buena Vista Street section of Disney California Adventure, it’s a great spot to cool down and enjoy an ice cream sundae!
Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream
Clarabelle’s officially reopened on July 8th and we stopped by to get the scoop (pun intended)! In the past, we’ve loved dishes like the Oswald Sundae and the “Whole Herd” Ice Cream Bar, so we’re excited to be back!
Did you even go to a Disney theme park if you didn’t take any pictures?
WandaVision Photo Op
There are plenty of iconic choices when it comes to taking pictures in the parks, including the castle and park icons, but Disney has been offering some pretty fun photo-ops lately! Specifically in Disneyland Resort, we’ve seen a Roz photo-op (which we could not stop laughing about), a WandaVision set, and SO many more. But now, we found one of the best photo-ops we’ve EVER seen, and it’s based on Disney and Pixar’s newest movie!
For years, Disney’s holiday events have been great ways to celebrate Halloween, Christmas, and more! Ticketed events like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas have been hot events in past years!

With the current state of the world, many of these events have been cancelled or replaced with events like the upcoming Boo Bash at Disney World. Although it might not be the same as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween, it’s still nice to have a way to be festive at the parks! Now, Disneyland has announced a Halloween event for this year!
Those of us who live in Florida have been keeping up to date on Tropical Storm Elsa and have experienced its impact at Disney World, an impact that has canceled recent fireworks shows.
Hurricane Day in Disney World
In the past, we’ve shared tips on what you need to know if a hurricane threatens Disney World, and we’ve even told you about the best hotels at Disney World to weather a hurricane. We’ve also told you about the hurricane kits that were available at some resorts to help you get through bad weather at Disney World (although they’ve been removed recently). And we’re keeping an eye on the hurricane season this year to see what’s in store. [Read more…]
