food IS a theme park
Welcome, world travelers, to EPCOT! We swung by the good old Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow to check out everything that’s shiny and new!
EPCOT
Come along with us as we share all the latest construction, food, and merchandise updates!
Even though we still don’t know the exact date Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure will reopen, we’re starting to see more signs that the parks are getting ready to welcome guests as soon as they are able to!
Disney California Adventure Park
Just last week, we spotted some new park reservation signs and a potential walkway at Disneyland Resort, and we’ve seen some health and safety signs outside of the parks as well. Today, we spotted even more additions that show we’re one step closer to Disneyland reopening.
Pumpkin spice here, pumpkin spice there, it feels like we’ve been seeing pumpkin spice everywhere in Disney World (not that we mind it)!
Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Mac-Tini
Pumpkin Spice Lattes popped up in the parks a few weeks ago, but now lots of other themed goodies like the Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treats, Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Mac-Tini, and Pumpkin Bread Tiramisu have trickled in for the Halloween season. Even though that’s a LOT of pumpkin spice, we can’t seem to get enough of it during the Fall!
We still fondly look back on the days we would hide our Halloween candy so we could savor it long after trick-or-treating. But, nowadays we’d rather just indulge on all the spooky snacks and sips that have been popping up in Disney World instead! 😉
Halloween Treats at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club
Although pumpkin spice and even poison apples have practically been the poster children for Halloween treats in the parks, there’s something just so nostalgic about candy corn this time of the year. And Disney’s been serving up looks with Candy Corn Witch Ears and mixing up candy corn treats in the parks and resorts for guests of all ages to enjoy!
We’ve got some interesting Disney World construction news today!
Big Thunder Mountain in Disney World
We spend a lot of time spotting construction in the Disney parks. Just yesterday we found some new construction in EPCOT’s Italy Pavilion. To be honest, we’re pretty used to construction in EPCOT, but it’s more surprising when we hear tell of projects in Magic Kingdom! Could these permits point to upcoming ride refurbishments?
We were already excited that Yorkshire County Fish Shop is set to be open on the weekends now in EPCOT, but now we’ve found a way to celebrate our love for fish & chips all the time…
Yorkshire County Fish Shop
…Fish & Chips Minnie Mouse EARS!
We’ve had a pretty great time chasing down new pairs of Mickey and Minnie ears recently.
The Disneyland Hotel
We just keep spotting them in and out of the parks! From Halloween Ears like the Jack ‘O Lantern Mickey Ears to unique ears like the Norway Viking Ears, it’s hard to pick a favorite. But, we DO have a new contender from Disneyland. Seriously, these just might be the best ears we’ve seen on the west coast in a WHILE.
BOO!! Err, I mean… HELLO from Disney World’s Magic Kingdom!!
Court Jester Mickey and Knight Donald
THIS is where Halloween is in FULL SWING… and the gang’s ALL HERE — and in their festive best — to celebrate! We’re checking out what’s NEW in the park (with help from some of our best Disney pals!), and we hope you’ll join us along the way for even more festive fall fun!
Oh, and when we say “the gang’s all here…” [Read more…]
Navigating a reopened Disney World can be a tricky challenge! It can certainly feel like things are constantly changing in the parks these days.
Disney World
How many people are allowed in? Will our favorite snacks be available? What time do the parks even close!? It can be hard to keep track! We don’t want these changes to catch you unaware, so we’re taking a look at three NEW Disney World trip mistakes that you’re totally not expecting and how to avoid them!
Today, Disney hosted an invitation-only virtual press conference to “update on how we’re making magic while we continue to promote health and safety.” We were invited to attend the conference.
Disneyland Gate
Disney executives took today’s conference as an opportunity to give an update on the parks that have reopened and to call on California’s governor for guidance when it comes to the reopening of Disneyland. They assert that the longer Disneyland remains closed, the greater the repercussions are for the surrounding communities.
