food IS a theme park
Happy World Ocean Day!
EPCOT
Disney World is known for celebrating LOTS of special occasions, from Pride Month to Fathers’ Day. And today, a time-honored tradition has returned to EPCOT for today’s unique holiday.
We’ve been seeing slow changes back to “normal” in Disney World.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Lately, park capacity has been increased, social distancing has been reduced, and the outdoor mask requirement has changed. We’ve also seen smaller shifts, like the removal of hand-washing stations and the return of self-serve fountain drinks. And now, we’ve noticed another change.
Update: We were told many phone lines were down and to try again tonight or tomorrow.
It’s getting closer and closer to Halloween!
Mickey Pumpkin
That means we’re getting ready for BOO Bash, Disney’s Halloween After Hours event that’s kicking off this August. We’ve already learned all about dates and pricing (and even some spooky sweets that’ll be up for grabs), and today, tickets officially go on sale.
October is a BIG month for Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
Not only is it the 50th anniversary, but a new restaurant and attraction are set to open on October 1st! Park Passes at Disney World have been hard to grab for that date recently, but more park passes have just been added for ALL 4 parks in October!
We’ve probably watched Cruella AT LEAST five times since the live-action origin film made its debut on Disney+ and in theaters.
Cruella’s Debut
As the parks have been celebrating with treats, merchandise, and photo-ops around the parks, fans of the “brilliant, bad, and a little bit mad” villain can also take a peek behind-the-scenes of the making of the film!
Character interactions have been pretty different in Disney World since it reopened last summer.
Hey guys!
Although regular meet-and-greets are gone for the time being, we now have character cavalcades in each park, adorable distanced meet-and-greets, and different character dining experiences! And today, we saw a classic Disney character doing something different than usual — warning, it’s SUPER CUTE.
Today has been an awesome day for EPCOT Food and Wine Festival news!
EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Banner
We got a look at the booths coming to the festival (including nine booths that won’t open until October), and the exclusive new corkcicle! Even though the festival doesn’t start until July 15th, we’re already getting super excited! On top of all the other announcements today, Disney also released some information about the live concerts coming to the festival this year!
We had an awesome time at Avengers Campus opening day on Friday!
Pym Tasting Lab
We reported to ya LIVE as we rode the new WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure attraction, sampled the eats at Pym Test Kitchen, and showed you ALL the cool details in the land. And now, we’re settling down for some sips at Pym Tasting Lab!
We’ve been keeping a close eye on all the things reopening around Disney World for ya!
Cinderella Castle
So far, we’ve seen Disney reopen many of the hotels, restaurants, and even some entertainment — though, there is still a lot more to go (including some fan-favorite spots). But, things are starting to look a bit more “normal” for all of you brave Disney travelers with kids who have endless amounts of energy!
It’s finally the big day — Avengers Campus has opened at Disney California Adventure!
Let’s goooo!
We’re here to check it out, riding the new WEB Slingers attraction, eating all the food at PYM Test Kitchen, and just generally exploring this new land. And if there’s a new land in the park, you know that Disney can’t resist dropping new merchandise, so let’s take a look at all the items we found (that you’ll totally need to buy on your next visit!).
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
