food IS a theme park
While many experiences have returned to Disney World since reopening, one BIG perk has been missing.
Cinderella Castle
That’s Early Entry for Disney World resort guests! The perk allows guests staying at Disney World hotels to enter the theme parks BEFORE regular guests. Disney recently announced that Early Theme Park Entry would be replacing the former Extra Magic Hours, and now we’re getting a peek at what this revamped perk will look like!
It’s been almost one year since Disney World reopened to guests and things are starting to look a whole lot more “normal.”
Hello, castle!
Park hopping has been back since the new year, we’ve seen more fan-favorite restaurants announce their reopening dates, popular spots like Casey’s Corner are back, and Disney just keeps on releasing exciting news. And, today they’re finally answering the elusive question — will the Disney Dining Plan come back to Disney World?
In case you missed it, there will be a train that connects the Orlando International Airport and Disney World!

Starting in 2022, Disney’s Magical Express is being discontinued, and although there is a new bus service from Mears on the way, this train is another way to get from the airport to Disney World. We’ve been keeping an eye on the progress and any announcements for the upcoming train, but now we have more information about when construction on the new Brightline Train could start!
Disneyland Resort reopened its theme parks on April 30th!
Oga’s Has Reopened!
Ever since then, more and more has reopened at the parks including restaurants like Oga’s Cantina, and health and safety policies have changed. We recently learned that LOTS of Disneyland restaurants are reopening soon, but now even MORE restaurants have reopening dates!
Disney World is getting back to “normal” again in many ways, and we’ve seen a bunch of restaurants reopen lately!
Disney Springs
Not only are plenty of popular restaurants reopening like ‘Ohana and Tusker House character dining, but there are also some new ones coming to Disney World! We’ve already seen a brand new gelato stand in EPCOT, and we have an opening date for the new creperie, but now one ice cream company will be opening up a NEW location in Disney World!
Disney World reopened almost a year ago, and we’ve seen a TON of changes since then!
Welcome back!
Here at DFB, we’re all about the food, and that’s why we’re glad SO many Disney World restaurants have reopened recently! We’ve visited Chef Mickey’s for dinner and the newly reopened Cape May Cafe, but today a fan-favorite restaurant has reopened at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Guests returned to Disneyland at the end of April, and more things around the parks have been reopening ever since!
Galaxy’s Edge
Not only are more of the Disneyland hotels getting reopening dates, but we’ve seen restaurants like Wine Country Trattoria, Tiki Juice Bar, Docking Bay 7 Food & Cargo, and more set reopening dates. Many of these restaurants reopened today along with one of the most sought out spots in ALL of Disneyland — Oga’s Cantina!
Since Disney World reopened about a year ago, a LOT has changed regarding health and safety measures in the parks.
Mickey Face Mask
For a while, there were tons of different policies to keep up with, but since the COVID-19 vaccine has rolled out across the country, health and safety measures have started to dwindle down. We’ve seen the removal of temperature checks, physical distancing markers, and face masks outdoors, but there’s a new policy starting today — Disney World guests no longer need to wear masks in most locations.
October is a BIG month for Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
Not only is it the 50th anniversary, but a new restaurant and attraction are set to open on October 1st! Park Passes at Disney World have been hard to grab for that date recently, but more park passes have just been added for ALL 4 parks in October!
Character interactions have been pretty different in Disney World since it reopened last summer.
Hey guys!
Although regular meet-and-greets are gone for the time being, we now have character cavalcades in each park, adorable distanced meet-and-greets, and different character dining experiences! And today, we saw a classic Disney character doing something different than usual — warning, it’s SUPER CUTE.
