food IS a theme park
We spent a LOVELY day in Disney World’s flagship park yesterday!
Magic Kingdom
Some things are certainly different from the last time we popped into the Magic Kingdom, so we’re bringing you an update with alllll the news in construction and merchandise!
Since Gideon’s Bakehouse opened in Disney Springs, it has drawn in lots and lots of visitors!
Gideon’s Bakehouse
After a very successful soft opening, the unique cookie shop had its grand opening event with new flavors, merchandise, and more! Just a little bit after the shop opened, the virtual queue was already FULL with a wait time of 11 hours (!!!). The people need their cookies and peanut butter cold brew!
ALERT. There has been a new development in the PeopleMover saga.
We Miss You PeopleMover
The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover in Magic Kingdom has been down for refurbishment for MONTHS now. It keeps getting a new reopening date, and then having that date change as the refurbishment gets extended again. Most recently, the refurbishment was set to end in February, but that has sadly changed.
Disneyland Paris remains closed.

Although World of Disney in Disney Village has been open on select days, the parks are still shuttered. They’re set to reopen on April 2nd, 2021, after pushing that date back from February 13th. However, even after this reopening, some events will be canceled.
EPCOT is currently going through a HUGE transition!
Spaceship Earth
Along with highly anticipated attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, EPCOT is getting a brand new nighttime spectacular called Harmonious!
Can you believe it’s been almost a year since we’ve been to Disneyland?
Disneyland Entrance
Luckily, guests have been able to get a taste of Disney magic in California with Downtown Disney and Buena Vista Street open for shopping and dining. While Anaheim officials are pushing for a quicker opening of Disneyland and other large theme parks, Disneyland is doing all they can to keep people involved. Disney California Adventure is even holding an event that will let you into several lands in the park!
Disney World does a pretty good job when it comes to water and boat rides.
Splash Mountain
There’s Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Frozen Ever After, and MORE. These rides are SUPER popular and all involve some sort of speedy slide down a flume of some kind. Now, Disney might be working on a way to make the lines for attractions like this SHORTER than ever!
Disney+ launched in 2019, and ever since we’ve seen some pretty exciting shows and films!
Magic Kingdom
We learned a LOT about the upcoming content for the streaming platform at Disney’s Investor Day, and we’ve recently experienced huge hits like Marvel’s WandaVision. But now, there’s an entire TV universe based in Magic Kingdom said to be in development for Disney+!
It’s almost March, which means Raya and the Last Dragon is releasing soon!

The film releases in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access on March 5th. We’ve already gotten a taste of the themed treats in the parks, explored some new experiences in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and checked out all the new merchandise. Now, it’s time for an exclusive new look at the movie!
One of our favorite spots to grab a drink in EPCOT (and all of Walt Disney World really) is La Cava del Tequila in the Mexico pavilion.
Mexico Pavilion
We’ve had all kinds of unique creations here. But, today La Cava is doing something extra special since it is National Margarita Day. Today, this spot is offering a specialty drink in a SUPER limited edition souvenir cup and we got to check them out!
