food IS a theme park
Animal Kingdom Lodge is a truly unique resort.
Kidani Village Lobby in Animal Kingdom Lodge
From the safari animals right outside the windows, to the fantastic restaurants, this is a breathtaking resort. We stopped by today to check out the latest updates, so let’s get started!
Fantasia is such a great movie, not only because it cleverly took classical music and set it to Disney animation, but also because it gave us Sorcerer Mickey!
Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival
Remember when there was a gigantic Mickey Sorcerer’s Hat in Disney’s Hollywood Studios? That giant hat may be gone, but we’re still seeing plenty of Sorcerer Mickey represented in Disney merchandise! And we’ve even eaten some Sorcerer Mickey-inspired food!
Want to eat an awesome meal from a Disney World table service restaurant, but want the convenience of enjoying it in your own hotel room (or your home) in your pajamas while watching Disney+? You’ll definitely want to check out the Table Service To Go feature on My Disney Experience, which allows you to order food to go from some of your favorite Disney table service restaurants.
Sanaa Bread Service To Go!
We’ve already enjoyed Bread Service from Sanaa to go, and have seen lots of other restaurants added to this feature. Recently, we spotted another one that has been added to the list!
We spend a lot of time sipping on libations in Disney World, and we’ve got some THOUGHTS.
Frozen Iced Tea Lemonade
Today, we’ve got a DRINK UPDATE for ya! So join us as we stop in all sorts of places — from Disney Springs to EPCOT — and check out some NEW and old drinks. Let’s goooooo!
We’ve made quite a few trips out to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to check out the construction progress, and we were even able to run into our old friend, Coconut Man, what a joy!
Coconut Man!
We’ve seen quite a few construction signs, entrance changes, and more at the hotel, and recently we spotted another update!
It’s been over three months since Disney World reopened to the public after an extended closure. Over the past few months, Disney has been slowly reopening more resorts, restaurants, and experiences.
California Grill Lounge
Most Disney restaurants have been limiting menus to adhere to the new safety regulations and shortages. We’ve been monitoring these changes while Disney adjusts to reopening under the new conditions. The Landscape of Flavors, Drop Off Pool Bar and Harambe Market are preparing to reopen. Meanwhile, the California Grill has been open for some time. All four menus have reflected changes on Disney World’s website recently.
Disney World has been slowly but surely announcing hotel reopening dates.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Though most of the Disney World villas and hotels have reopened, there are some we’re still waiting on. In fact, there are some that are still closed until further notice! It’s time for a status update!
Please Note: This post has been updated to reflect additional reopening dates as announced by Disney.
SPRING BREAK, WHOOO!!! OK, Spring break is a popular time of year not just for college kids on break but for families too. And for many families that find themselves with a week off and are looking for a vacation, Disney World fits that bill nicely. Not only are kiddos are usually off from school, but the weather is more comfortable than in the sweltering summer months.
Magic Kingdom
But with all of the new protocols and safety measures, does it make sense to visit Disney World for spring break in 2021, or should you skip it this year?
Halloween is just around the corner and Disney is finding creative ways to celebrate without Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
Fort Wilderness
Although there is spooky Halloween fun happening all over Disney World, a Disney Cast Member shared that the Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds will be under a phase 2 closure on October 31st.
We’re in holiday overload today! Not only is it Halloween week, but we also spotted Christmas goodies popping up, AND now Thanksgiving is jumping into the mix!
Whispering Canyon Cafe in Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
It’s official! We have a Thanksgiving offering CONFIRMED in Disney World, so let’s put on our eating pants and set our sights on Disney’s Wilderness Lodge!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
