food IS a theme park
One of Disney World’s classic nighttime shows is returning soon!
Electric Water Pageant
Since Disney World reopened, The Electrical Water Pageant has remained on hold. But Disney just announced that this nighttime show will be returning soon!
Happy 1 year anniversary Disney’s Riviera Resort!
Riviera Resort
That’s right! Disney’s Riviera Resort opened a whole year ago, and we’ve been enjoying delicious drinks and fun character meals there ever since! And now Disney has celebrated this fabulous Resort’s anniversary with something special — an incredible LEGO model! [Read more…]
Even though we don’t have traditional character meet-and-greets and meals right now, Disney has been very creative when implementing ways for us to interact with our Disney friends!
Pluto!!
Just this morning, characters returned to Chef Mickey’s at the Contemporary (in socially-distanced fashion), and we’ve seen several fun cavalcades and distanced meet-and-greets in the parks. We speculated a few weeks ago whether or not characters might come around to visit the Disney World Resorts again, and then we spotted some friends over at Disney’s Grand Floridian last week! Today, we saw a few characters again, this time at Disney’s Riviera Resort! And they showed up in a cool ride!
Since Disney World has reopened, character experiences have looked a bit different than before. This not only includes meet-and-greets in the parks but character dining experiences too!
Chef Mickey’s
That’s why as soon as we heard Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort (one of the most iconic character dining locations in all of Disney World) would be bringing its characters back, we knew we had to check it out! While there were some issues originally trying to grab a reservation, we were lucky enough to snag one. This meal has been updated when it reopened in July, serving breakfast to your table as an all-you-care-to-eat meal, rather than the usual buffet.
Welcome back to the monorail loop!
Grand Floridian Lobby
We recently made a journey around the Seven Seas Lagoon. Let’s take a look at what’s new at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
We’ve seen Mickey and his friends in the holiday cavalcades and some character dining experiences, and we’ve waved at him as he stood on the Main Street, U.S.A. train station, but now there’s one more spot to find the mouse!
Chef Mickey’s
A few months ago, Disney shared that some of our favorite characters would soon be making their way back to Chef Mickey’s in Disney’s Contemporary Resort and the day has finally arrived!
Just a couple weeks ago we were at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground checking out its rustic holiday decorations.
Fort Wilderness Decorations
Not only does the resort itself get fully decked out, but we’ve also seen some really incredible decorating done by guests! It’s a tradition over at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground to extravagantly decorate guests’ campsites and golf carts! We took a trip over to the campsites to see all the personalized decor!
Starting tomorrow, December 16th, Chef Mickey and friends are coming BACK to Chef Mickey’s!
Mickey Mouse at Chef Mickey’s
This fan-favorite character buffet restaurant reopened at Disney’s Contemporary Resort back in July with no buffet and no characters (but a much, much lower price). It also swapped its buffet for a family-style meal.
We use the My Disney Experience app a LOT!
Mobile Order sign at Sunshine Seasons
From placing mobile orders and making advance dining reservations to checking the latest wait times, it’s a fantastic tool! But, it seems like some guests are experiencing technical issues with the app today.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is constantly churning out TONS of creative cupcakes by way of Captain Cook’s.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort during the Holidays
From the Thanksgiving Turkey Cupcake (you’ve GOT to see him here) to the Holiday Wreath Cupcake and more, you can always find some serious seasonal snacking going on here. Today, though, we’re reviewing a cupcake that’s not here simply for a season: it’s the Moana Cupcake! [Read more…]
