food IS a theme park
Hello from Disney’s Hollywood Studios, DFB friends!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We spent some time at Hollywood Studios to check out what’s new, so here are the latest updates!
As you likely know, EPCOT is currently in the midst of a MASSIVE transformation.
Construction in Future World
In addition to the new rides coming to the park, like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, we’re also expecting a new nighttime spectacular, Harmonious. There are also plans to add some new buildings and features to the park, making it more eye-catching. Part of this plan includes an updated park entrance, and we got some details on the fountain coming to that area today!
If you’re a Star Wars fan, then Disney World is FULL of merchandise made just for you!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
Not to mention the fact that there are literally THOUSANDS of items to choose from online: from shirts, to home goods, to snacks and food items. And today, when we were heading through Hollywood Studios, we found some Star Wars merchandise at the Pandora store inside Legends of Hollywood!
Earlier this month, a stay-at-home order was issued for Southern California, including Orange County and Anaheim.
Carthay Circle at California Adventure
The order went into effect when ICU capacity in the region dipped below 15%, which triggered the order via a mandate by the state of California.
Can you believe it? Next week is CHRISTMAS!
Rivers of America
Those of you traveling during Christmas week will want to stay extra flexible. Crowds can get heavy around the holidays and you’ll want to prepare for long lines! It’s also good practice to keep informed on scheduled attraction closures when you’re traveling to Disney World. That way, you’re not totally disappointed if you suddenly find out your favorite ride is closed. We’re here to help you plan around the scheduled refurbishments so you’ll experience less stress on vacation. Let’s take a look at the refurb schedule from December 21st through December 27th!
Ahh! We have another EPCOT festival to look forward to!
Spike the Bee Sipper
The 2021 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival will be returning March 3rd through July 5th with a TON of food locations. Now, we know another returning offering of the fest!
We LOVE A good EPCOT festival.
Flower and Garden Festival
Right now, we’re still enjoying the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays and we’ve got our sights set on the soon-to-start EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. But now, we’ve got NEWS from the 2021 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival! Ooh!
Disney has now announced the dates for the 2021 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival!
Flower and Garden Festival
Since it began in 1994, the Flower and Garden Festival has become a highlight of Spring in Walt Disney World. And since last year’s festival was cut short due to the extended park closure, we’re looking forward to the return of the Flower and Garden Festival in 2021!
Just over a month ago, Disney announced that Park Hopping would be coming back to Walt Disney World at the start of 2021 in a modified way.
Cinderella Castle
The new system has quite a few rules and requirements different than the old way of Park Hopping you may be familiar with, one being that the ability to Park Hop is not guaranteed — instead, it’s entirely based on park availability (a.k.a. you might NOT get to hop if the parks are full). But, getting a ticket with the Park Hopper option is more expensive than a regular 1-day, 1-park pass. Will that additional cost be worth it for you under the modified system? Here are our thoughts.
Many reopened Disney restaurants have opened with slightly different menus or a completely new menu. But we have yet to see a restaurant serving up SEVERAL items from another closed restaurant in the park — until now!
Tomorrowland Terrace Reopening
Sure, you can grab Ronto Wraps or Chesire Cat Tails in a new place now, but we’re looking at Tomorrowland Terrace because it seems to be serving up quite a few old favorites from Columbia Harbour House! The restaurant just reopened today with this new menu, and we had to see how it compared to the original.
