food IS a theme park
We’re here to share everything that’s new in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
We recently visited on a pretty rainy and gloomy day, but we made our way through the park to check out any updates. Let’s take a look at what we found!
After being closed for nearly a year, Disneyland announced the end of their annual pass program.
Disneyland Entrance
Even though there is a new membership program in the works, and previous annual passholders are now referred to as Legacy Passholders, there are still lots of questions to be answered. Now, we’ve got another update on the future of Disneyland passholders.
It’s hard to believe that this year is Disney World’s 50th anniversary.
Cinderella Castle
In preparation, there are several construction projects and new attractions on their way, but Disney has not released too much information about the celebrations in store yet. Luckily, we can get a sneak peek of the anniversary fun tomorrow!
Visiting EPCOT this weekend?
EPCOT
If so, we’ve got some news you’re gonna want to know! EPCOT has recently updated its park hours for this upcoming Saturday, February 20th.
Disney World Annual Passholders get quite a few perks!
Tree of Life
They often get SWEET discounts on Disney merchandise, access to exclusive Disney stuff (like some really cool MagicBands and Minnie Ears), and more! And now Annual Passholders can get some perks at Disney’s Animal Kingdom on weekdays (including the ever-popular Passholder Magnets!).
Some HUGE changes are coming to EPCOT!
Spaceship Earth
We’ve already seen a few new changes, including the new fountain in front of Spaceship Earth and the new Leave A Legacy display. But so much more is coming, including the Harmonious nighttime show, the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ride, and more!
If you love Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, we’ve got something exciting for you!
Disney’s Yacht Club & Resort
There’s just something about the atmosphere of the Yacht Club that makes us feel more relaxed. It could be the fact that we like to stuff our faces with delicious ice cream at Beaches & Cream while we’re visiting or just the sound of the boat’s horn as it takes guests between EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. Well, we stumbled upon a new souvenir that captures the atmosphere and has some hidden details for dedicated Disney fans!
Construction has really ramped up this year at Disney World!
Fantasmic! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
EPCOT has already seen a few updates, with more on the way. Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom got a makeover, and several rides are currently in progress. But Disney’s Hollywood Studios might get some work done soon, too!
Over at EPCOT, we’re still waiting for some of our favorite restaurants to reopen!
Morocco
This is especially true over at the newly-reopened Morocco Pavilion — we’ve been waiting for both Tangierine Cafe and Restaurant Marrakesh to open their doors again! But now, there’s a new snack option in the Pavilion you might want to check out.
After so many stops into the shops in Disney World, you start recognizing the same things over…and over…and over again.
Mitsukoshi Department Store
But, if you’re looking for the most non-Disney store at Disney World, you can head over to Mitsukoshi Department Store in EPCOT’s Japan Pavilion. The store is filled with unique gifts like peach rice cakes, strawberry Kit Kats, and cool color-changing shirts. We’ve even spotted some Animal Crossing plushes (it is Disney after all) and we found ANOTHER video game-inspired item on our visit today!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
