food IS a theme park
Since 2020, we’ve seen Disney Parks close due to the ongoing global health crisis.

Some parks have closed and reopened, while others have closed, reopened, and closed again. Now, one Disney Park is closing its doors completely to guests as of tomorrow due to the situation with COVID-19.
Now more than ever before, it’s important to be informed before you visit a Disney Park!

Whether it’s weather or COVID-19, there are tons of things that can affect how the Disney Parks operate, and they can change pretty quickly, so we want to make sure you have the most updated information on all of the parks! And, if you’re thinking about taking a trip to Shanghai Disney Resort soon, there have been a couple of changes to their Health and Safety Measures you’ll need to know!
CookieAnn is one of Duffy the Disney Bear’s many friends. The culinarily-minded dog, who was recently joined by a new friend, is a major hit overseas at parks like Shanghai Disneyland!

As Duffy and his friends become more and more popular both here and abroad, we’ve seen more and more new additions to the Disney parks inspired by these fuzzy characters! Today, a new restaurant inspired by CookieAnn opened overseas.
It’s Destination D23 at Disney World this weekend and the news just keeps on coming!
Look at all our pals!
We got an opening timeline for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT, there’s an updated stage show coming to Magic Kingdom, we saw new concept art for the Disney Vacation Club tower being added to Disneyland Hotel, and we know when Avengers Campus at Disneyland Paris will open! But, there is even MORE, because we have a closer look at the Zootopia area coming to Shanghai Disneyland!
To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
UPDATE: Shanghai Disney will remain closed on November 1st-2nd — guests will be notified when Disney has confirmed a date to resume operations.
In Florida, Disney World has been slowly returning to “normal” with modified character meet and greets and an optional outdoor mask policy. Importantly, though, safety is at the heart of all of Disney’s decisions, which is why Disney suspended entry into one of its theme parks on Halloween.

Disney released a statement regarding the temporary change.
Disney World isn’t the only place to celebrate Halloween this year.

We’ve been to Oogie Boogie Bash in Disneyland, and other parks around the world are also getting in on the spooky festivities. Let’s take a look at what’s going on in Shanghai Disneyland Park for Halloween and Fall!
The more, the merrier! Duffy and Friends are welcoming a seventh member to their club next week — a sleuthing fox named LinaBell!

LinaBell’s adventurous nature makes her the perfect addition to Duffy’s social circle, which currently consists of ShellieMay, Gelatoni, StellaLou, CookieAnn, and ‘Olu Mel.
We’ve seen many Disney park closures over the years.
We definitely missed Disneyland when it was closed!
All the parks around the world had massive closures last year (and into this year) due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but they’ve also closed in the past for various weather conditions. Shanghai Disney Resort was closed this week for that very reason, but it’ll soon be back up and running!
Between hurricanes, a worldwide pandemic, and typhoons, Disney is no stranger to last-minute emergency closings.

The powerful Typhoon Chanthu prompted a Disney park to close in anticipation of heavy rain and wind.
Themed lands are a staple of Disney Parks. And wow, have they shown they know how to theme!
