food IS a theme park
Hello from EPCOT!
EPCOT!
We’re here in the parks alllll the time (it is Food and Wine Festival, after all), and we like to keep you updated with what’s new or different in the park. So, come along with us on a journey through EPCOT!
Nine Dragons in the China Pavilion of EPCOT is a table-service offering that features a wide range of cuisines, serving up Cantonese, Mongolian, Szechuan, Hunan, and Kiangche-style dishes. It’s not exactly a fan favorite, but we’ve enjoyed some of their offerings in the past!

Nine Dragons reopened in EPCOT today, and we stopped by and checked it out!

Except in very limited cases, new Disney World Annual Passes have NOT been sold since the parks closed last March.
Hey, Donald!
We think there are several reasons why Annual Passes might not have been sold for a while, including Disney World possibly wanting to manage the percentage of Passholders visiting. Not too long ago, a glitch made us think Annual Passes were available to be purchased, but Stitch ate the page (we’re all too familiar with that sight) and we couldn’t complete the purchase. But now things are CHANGING — soon you can buy Disney World Annual Passes once again!
Alright Disneylanders, we’ve got BIG news today.
Disneyland
Yesterday, Disneyland teased its new Annual Pass program called Magic Key. Disneyland’s previous Annual Passholder program was discontinued at the beginning of this year and we’ve been waiting for its replacement. Let’s learn more about Magic Key!
At the beginning of 2021, Disneyland announced that they would be discontinuing the Annual Passholder program and replacing it with a new membership option.

Until that new membership option became available, Disney fans with active Annual Passholder memberships as of March 14th, 2020 were transitioned directly into the Legacy Passholder Program. This program gave members discounts on food and merchandise all around Disneyland until a new program could be introduced. Yesterday we found out Disneyland was going to announce their new Annual Pass program, and it’s finally here! We have the details about WHEN you can buy Disneyland annual passes again!

In the past, the time frame has varied for how long it takes to add the new Presidential animatronic. The attraction closed on January 20, 2021 and Disney said a couple weeks ago that it would be reopening in August with the new President Biden animatronic, we just didn’t have an exact date. BUT while we were in Magic Kingdom today, we discovered that the Hall of Presidents is OPEN! [Read more…]
