food IS a theme park
Thinking of heading to Disney World during June or July? Don’t already have your Park Passes or thinking about switching some around?
EPCOT
Well, now is your time to act!! Yesterday, we saw things filling up (particularly on July 1st, which is when fireworks will return to the parks), but now things have changed.
A lot has been changing around Disney World lately.
No more social distancing markers in Mexico!
We’ve seen mask requirements change and social distancing markers go away, and we’ll soon see the return of fireworks shows in the parks. And now, we have even more changes to tell you about! We saw something open today that we haven’t seen since the closures.
Spooky season is HERE in Disney World!

Disney World kicks off the Halloween season in August, so you get to start celebrating a little bit earlier than in most places (which we LOVE). There are yummy pumpkin treats, festive decorations, and characters in their adorable costumes! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom was canceled this year, and instead, the after hours event BOO Bash has taken its place. Tickets went on sale to the public back in June, and we have an update about availability!
If you’re headed to Disney World soon, you probably have your eye on some Advance Dining Reservations at some really fun restaurants.
Magic Kingdom
It comes as no surprise, but dining is one of our favorite parts of a trip to Disney World (did our name give it away?). There are certainly some reservations that tend to be more difficult to get than others any day you try, but, right now, it seems like dining reservations are harder to get in general. Whether you’re trying to book Oga’s Cantina, Be Our Guest Restaurant, or even some of the less popular spots, why is it harder than ever to get a reservation for Disney World restaurants?
The music made by the Disney marching bands is an iconic slice of the Disney Parks experience.
Main Street Philharmonic at Magic Kingdom
While Disney World has the Main Street Philharmonic in Magic Kingdom, Disneyland Resort has the Disneyland Band. The Disneyland Band has not performed since the Disneyland closure in March 2020, but we have some news!
We haven’t seen an official fireworks show in Walt Disney World in over a YEAR!
Fireworks Testing
There were a few flares around the holidays, as well as some random fireworks testing, but not a full show! Recently we learned that fireworks will be returning to Walt Disney World on July 1st, and now we have official times for the shows! Take a look.
Greetings from EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
We’re here to tell you all about everything NEW in EPCOT, from food, construction, merchandise, and more! Let’s get started!
UPDATE: All rides have returned to their normal operations.
Heads up if you’re in Disney World right now!
Magic Kingdom
We’ve seen severe weather before in the parks, and it looks like we’ve got some more rolling in now. When storms arrive, particularly with heavy lightning, we can see rides or forms of transportation in Disney World go down temporarily. And that’s exactly what we’re seeing right now for ALL 4 Disney World theme parks. Let’s take a look!
LOTS of changes are happening at Disneyland Resort today.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
The parks opened to out-of-state guests, temperature checks have been suspended, and face masks are no longer required for fully vaccinated guests (in most circumstances). And of course, we’re at Disneyland Resort to check it all out for ya.
SO much is happening right now at Disneyland. It wasn’t even that long ago when the resort reopened, but since then, we’ve also seen the reopenings of several restaurants, and the grand opening of Avengers Campus!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
But updates continue to happen at Disneyland and now there’s been a HUGE update about who can actually visit the parks!
