food IS a theme park
Disney’s Animal Kingdom wouldn’t be complete without one thing: the ANIMALS, of course!
Giraffes!
And we love, love, LOVE it when a NEW baby animal joins the pack! Recently, we’ve seen a baby babirusa and baby giraffes!
The 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is officially OVER, and you know what that means — the 2021 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is right around the corner!
Eeyore, Piglet, and Tigger TOO!
In fact, Flower and Garden kicks off in just eight days on March 3rd!
One of the biggest post-closure changes visible to guests when they travel to Disney World these days are the plexiglass dividers on rides. Over time, some rides have these barriers installed, like on Rise of the Resistance and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, to increase the ride’s capacity. Other rides, particularly fast-moving ones, originally opted instead to load every other row to allow for physical distancing.
Spaceship Earth
In recent months, however, we noticed Disney shifting protocol to loading every single row, like what we saw change on Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster and Slinky Dog Dash.
We’ve got an update on some mysterious construction in Disney World!

We’ve seen some pretty wacky Disney merchandise over the years!
Magic Kingdom
We’ve seen things that were crazy expensive, things that we didn’t understand, and things that were downright weird. Recently, Disney released a new line of shoes that we looked at and thought, “Surely those can’t be comfortable, right?” So, for science, we bought ourselves a new pair of those Native brand shoes, and we tested them out in Disney World!
We spotted a discount in EPCOT today!
China Pavilion
Since the International Festival of the Arts ended yesterday, we took a trip to the park today to check out some unique merchandise and try some snacks. And while we were in the China Pavilion’s House of Good Fortune buying wasabi chips, we noticed a discount on our receipt!
Disney has recently released a few extras for Legacy Passholders.
Disneyland Annual Passes
They’ve gotten deals on shopDisney, in-person merchandise discounts, and a Passholder preview for the Star Wars Trading Post reopening in Downtown Disney. And now that Disney California Adventure is reopening for a limited-time ticketed experience, another perk is on the way.
When the clock strikes 1PM in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, almost everyone’s heart skips a beat.
Rise of the Resistance
It’s like a countdown to launch when it comes to snagging a boarding group for the popular attraction — Rise of the Resistance.

So, leading up to the race to see who can tap “Join Boarding Group” fast enough, everything quiets down for a moment in the park.
