food IS a theme park
Disney World has been updating the health and safety measures in the parks as needed.
Face Masks
We’ve seen several updates to the mask policy and the overhead announcement that reminds guests of the rules. Now, there’s a new update.
Lightsabers have become popular souvenirs for guests visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. And the Legacy Lightsabers at Dok Ondar’s Den of Antiquities have become hot ticket items!
Lightsabers
The Legacy Lightsabers are replicas of lightsabers held by some of the most famous Jedi in the galaxy, including Ahsoka Tano, Cal Kestis, Luke Skywalker, and more! But today, we channeled the Dark Side of the Force and held the lightsaber of Darth Tyranus himself, Count Dooku!
We’ve spotted quite a few of the same new Disney face masks at Disneyland Resort and in Disney World lately.
Up Mask
Recently the ones in Disney World were hit with a HUGE price increase. So, we thought that the masks in Disneyland would see a similar price jump, but that’s not at all what we found when we visited today.
It’s beginning to look a lot like the holidays around Disney World. We’re already seeing TONS of holiday merchandise pop up in shops all over the resort.
Holiday Decorations at Hollywood Studios
And we’ve already seen the first of the holiday decorations go up at Hollywood Studios, but guess what? There are EVEN MORE holiday decorations at Studios now!
What’s NEW at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you ask??
Mickey’s of Hollywood
Well, quite a bit actually! We’ve been checking out the new merchandise and a few attraction updates. Join us on a tour of the star-studded Hollywood Studios in Disney World!
Is it still spooky season? Are we just skipping Thanksgiving this year? Is Christmas starting right now? It’s 2020, so basically anything goes at this point.
Bakery Case
If you thought this bakery case was confused as to what holiday it is, just wait until you see the “holiday” drink we found in Disney World. It’s a “holiday” drink for sure, the problem is it just can’t decide which holiday it’s celebrating!
We have really enjoyed trying out all the fun flavors of Lay’s chips that we’ve been finding at House of Good Fortune at the China Pavilion at EPCOT.
Chips at The House of Good Fortune
So far, we’ve tasted the tomato chips, along with the candy chips (!!), as well as some AMAZING seafood flavors, including squid AND fried crab!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is so much fun — it’s part theme park and part zoo!
Animal Kingdom Tree of Life
And we LOVE seeing all the animals, especially the cute little baby animals born at the park. But one part of the park where we could see smaller animals has been closed since Disney World reopened.
Getting a boarding group for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is still one of the most difficult things to do (it may even be harder than snagging some of that limited edition merch on shopDisney)!
Rise of the Resistance
Disney has made some changes recently that may make things a bit easier for some — like installing plexiglass barriers in the ride vehicles to accommodate more guests, and allowing guests to sign up for morning boarding groups at 7AM from outside the park. But, what if you try to sign up for a 7AM boarding group (and the Force just isn’t with you that day) and you aren’t able to snag a group? Here’s what you can do.
Surprising news! Okay…not really.
Splash Mountain
Splash Mountain has been the talk of the town lately. Due to it’s upcoming The Princess and the Frog retheming, it’s been one of the BUSIEST rides in a reopened Magic Kingdom, oh, and it’s been down a LOT. Well, guess what? It’s closed AGAIN.
