food IS a theme park
There has been a LOT of news about Disneyland Resort in the past few weeks.
Disneyland
Not only is Disneyland reopening next month, but there are also some serious expansion plans in the early phases! Of course, we’ve been stopping by to check out the everyday updates too, so here’s everything new we spotted in Disneyland this week!
Spring is in full swing in Disney World!
Flower and Garden
If you’re getting set for a trip to Disney World next week, you’ll probably want to know what to expect when it comes to the forecast. So, we’re here with a full weather update for your week in Disney!
Is there anything like the beautiful view of Cinderella Castle from Main Street, U.S.A.?
Cinderella Castle
We’ve been lucky enough to catch this view a few times over the past few days as we take in all the sights of Magic Kingdom. Now, we’re bringing you an update on everything NEW in construction and merchandise!
Disney tends to be on the cutting edge of technology when it comes to theme parks.
Let’s Get Scanning!
Now, Disney World is testing an all-new facial recognition system for park entry that could replace finger scanners. The process is currently opt-in through April 23rd as it’s tested and Disney collects data (You know we gave it a try!). Some folks aren’t loving the idea of facial recognition, so we wanted to break down how it works!
One STAPLE of a Disney vacation is a solid souvenir.
Popcorn Bucket at EPCOT
For many, the best Disney World souvenir is a brand new refillable souvenir popcorn bucket. Typically, we see new buckets released every few months or so to commemorate one event or another. But we have to say, the buckets are FEW and FAR BETWEEN this year. We might go so far as to say we’re in a drought — The Great Disney World Popcorn Bucket Drought of 2021.
One surprising Disney World BoardWalk location is seeing some changes today!
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
Ample Hills Creamery was an ice-cream-y staple of the BoardWalk before filing for bankruptcy, getting new owners, and announcing a permanent closure during the Disney World closure last year. Now, we’ve spotted signs of change at the ol’ Ample Hills spot!
Disney just laid out the DisneylandForward project.

This new project focuses on an expansion of Disneyland within the current space that the resort already covers. It’s in very early stages, but teams hope to explore the creation of new theme park attractions, dining, retail, hotel, and more in Disney’s original resort. Now, we’re taking a look at some of the concept images for DisneylandForward.
Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort has officially reopened!
All-Star Movies
Earlier this week we walked you through all of the biggest changes when it comes to health and safety measures and updates to transportation, and now we’re going to take you on a tour of a standard room!
Some of us are REALLY looking forward to the return of cruising when it’s safe — especially Disney cruising!
Disney Cruise Line
Disney Cruise Line has been periodically canceling sailings due to the global health crisis and might resume limited operations this fall. Disney Cruises might be limited this year, but you COULD put a 2022 cruise in the books!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been pretty popular over the last few months!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We TOTALLY get it with the still very popular Rise of the Resistance and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. We’ve spent a few days in Hollywood Studios this week, so we’re bringing you an update with everything new!
