food IS a theme park
We spotted a fun souvenir this morning at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
We can’t resist a cute piece of Disney merch. From coffee mugs to Minnie Ears, we’re constantly on the lookout for new items to add to our wishlist!
Another month down in Disney World and we’re headed into the summer!
Magic Kingdom
We had a pretty busy month FULL of Disney news (which seems to be the norm these days). Sure, we saw some things coming like preparations for Pride Month and even the 4th of July, but some news was downright SHOCKING. Here are the three most unexpected things that happened in Disney World last month!
Disney World restaurants are some of the MOST magical places at the Most Magical Place on Earth. From Cheshire Cat Tails and Ronto Wraps to School Bread and Cookie Dough Cupcakes, these are places where foodie dreams come true!
Cheshire Cat Tail at The Lunching Pad
And now you can be even more apart of the action, because Disney World is hiring food and beverage Cast Members!
You’ve spent all day in the parks, and they’re closing after some long hours of fun! But, if you’re looking for a late night meal or snack, Disney World’s not the greatest place for after-hours eats at the moment.
EPCOT
Many of the places around the parks currently close early in the night, so it becomes a bit difficult to find a restaurant or quick-service spot open after you leave the parks. Although some of your favorite dining locations may not be open all night, we’re giving you a full list of all the places where you can find late-night meals in Disney World after 10 PM! And don’t forget, Uber Eats and other delivery services are available as well.
There’s some big news happening in Disneyland this week!
We made it!
We’re LIVE from the opening day of Avengers Campus today but that’s not the ONLY news from Disneyland! We’ve got an update on everything new in food, construction, and merchandise at Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney, and the Disneyland Resort hotels!
Wow — is it just us or did May just fly by? And it’s officially summer at Disney World — how did that even happen?
Watermelon Dole Whip IN a Watermelon
Of course, we’re ready for it (save for maybe the Florida heat and humidity), and we’re looking forward to all the great summer foods we’ll be eating over the next few months. May saw some pretty interesting snacks, though, including a secret menu Watermelon Dole Whipception snack, A Donut Burger, and Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls! And we also saw some menu updates at Disney World restaurants, so we’re going to get to those right now!
As Disney World (and the rest of the country) continues to return to normalcy, it seems like safety mandates are constantly changing. From seating more guests on rides to bringing back character dining and adding more pool chairs, Disney is steadily lifting all kinds of restrictions.
New Face Mask Requirements
This is especially apparent with its ever-changing face mask policies. After recently making a HUGE update that no longer required masks outdoors, similar change appears to be happening at outdoor theaters.
A LOT has changed at Disney World since the beginning of the year, and we’re starting to see the resort taking steps back toward what was considered “normal” pre-closure.
Will FastPass return to Disney World soon?
Recently, Disney World increased capacity, did away with temperature checks, began to reduce social distancing, and changed its face coverings policy. But there are still some Disney World programs that have not yet returned, most notably FastPass+.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen Disney World update its health and safety policies several times.
Temperature Checks have been removed from the parks.
Temperature checks were phased out, mask requirements have been relaxed, and physical distancing is being reduced all around the parks and resorts. Today, we noticed another update to the physical distancing requirements on Disney’s website!
It’s that time of the week where we check in on all the construction projects going on around Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
There have been a lot of BIG projects going on around the parks and resorts as Disney prepares for the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebrations that will be kicking off in just FOUR months (is time flying for anyone else?). And, this week, we got an update on a few of the big hitters in Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and the resorts. So, let’s take a look!
