food IS a theme park
Over the past few months, we’ve been able to spot some of our favorite Disney friends in cavalcades, distanced character meet-and-greets, flotillas, and distanced character meals.
Hey There Friends!
If you’re a big fan of saying “hello” to the Disney princesses, Mickey, Minnie, and more, you’re in luck. Soon, character experiences in the park will be changing!
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration is off to an exciting start, with 150 new food and drink items around the parks and resorts, well over a hundred new merchandise items, not to mention new fireworks shows in both Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, a new daytime show in Disney’s Animal Kingdom…needless to say, there’s a lot of NEW stuff happening!
Be Our Guest
Those new food and drink items can be found at all four theme parks, including right here in Magic Kingdom. Recently we went to Be Our Guest Restaurant to check out their new menu offerings!

There are two new ways to experience Harmonious, the brand-new nighttime spectacular at EPCOT. If standing along World Showcase Lagoon just won’t cut it and you’re looking to add a little something special to your evening, new dining packages are available for booking at both Rose & Crown Dining Room in the U.K. Pavilion as well as Spice Road Table in the Morocco Pavilion.
EPCOT
We chose to experience Harmonious from Rose & Crown Dining Room recently, and we wanted to share our experience and our thoughts with you today to discuss whether or not it’s worth the price tag!
A popular entertainment spot in Disney World is reopening soon!
Jellyrolls
Located at Disney’s BoardWalk, Jellyrolls is a dueling piano bar famous for its drink specials, fun atmosphere, and, of course, awesome entertainment! Even when Disney World reopened after the closures in 2020, Jellyrolls still remained closed. In June 2020, Jellyrolls announced that they would be reopening on October 1st, 2020. But the closure was later extended indefinitely. Now, over a year later, a new reopening date for the dueling piano bar has been announced!
Disney World’s MAJOR 18-month long 50th Anniversary Celebration has been years in the making.

The Swan Reserve is a new hotel that is opening soon on Disney World Property!
Swan Reserve
It is part of the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Complex, which means it’s really close to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, as well as other hotels like Disney’s BoardWalk Inn and Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. The Swan Reserve was supposed to open earlier this year, but after a series of delays, it’s now supposed to open this month. With it getting so close to being complete, we got to go INSIDE the new hotel and take a look around, so come with us as we tour the Swan Reserve!
