food IS a theme park
A major new menu addition at EPCOT is changing how we approach drinking around the world!
Who’s ready?
One of the world’s most exclusive alcohols, which used to be quite hard to find in the United States, is now available in the World Showcase!
If you’re visiting Disneyland and happen to be a massive Pixar fan, you may choose to stay at Pixar Place Hotel, which is…as you may have guessed from the name…dedicated to all things Pixar. You can even see the gigantic Pixar lamp and ball in the hotel lobby, as well as meet some rare Pixar characters like Joe from Soul and Bing Bong from Inside Out.
Pixar Place Hotel
Well, four things have been closed for a little while at this hotel, but we’ve got great news: all four closures are ending this month.
Are crowds about to get WORSE at Disney World? We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Disney World crowds and ride wait times can be unpredictable, but there are often some indicators that give us a clue about what we’re up against.
Kilimanjaro Safaris Lightning Lane
Throughout September, ride wait times and crowds have remained relatively low, but it looks like Disney is expecting that to change soon. We keep track of Lightning Lane prices at Disney World, and based on what we’re seeing for the first week of October, Disney is expecting an influx of crowds — because Lightning Lane prices are increasing.
WHAT a week! But every week is pretty amazing when we’re spending it in Disney World. So what did we eat this week? Well, a new EPCOT Food & Wine Festival booth opened, so you know we checked that out. Then we headed over to Disney’s Beach Club Resort for a brand new shake.
Cinnamon Roll Shake
We also spent time perusing Disney World restaurant menus to spot any changes, and let’s just say we have some updates to share with you this week, so let’s get on with it!
While The Magic of Disney Animation is currently experiencing a soft opening in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the new area and its attractions don’t officially open until September 14th.
Off the Page! at The Magic of Disney Animation!
Inside this new area, which used to be Star Wars Launch Bay, you’ll find four new attractions, all indoors to help keep you cool. However, the hours that these new activities will be offered is about to change REALLY drastically, only a few weeks after their official opening. If you’re traveling beyond the end of September, you’ll need to pay close attention.
Heads up if you’re going to EPCOT next month because there are some changes headed your way!
EPCOT
From new dining locations to delayed openings, there are a few things that could affect your trip. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Here are four changes coming to EPCOT in October!
Tomorrow’s going to be a sad day for Tokyo DisneySea, and we’re already mentally preparing, even though we’re thousands of miles away.
Aquatopia
Back in April, the park announced that they’d be permanently closing one of their most popular attractions. It’s a ride unlike any other — you truly can’t find anything even close to it in any other Disney park, and now it’s about to be gone for good. Yes, tomorrow, we need to say a permanent farewell to Aquatopia.
Disney World has recently made changes to its transportation system, which raises the question: Can guests still resort hop around Disney World?
