food IS a theme park
The reopening of the Disney World theme parks is an unprecedented situation. Disney is walking a fine line in making sure their guests are happy with the protocols.
2020 Annual Passholder Magnet
One heavily affected group is Disney World Annual Passholders. The closure of the parks and modified reopening are definitely not what Passholders had in mind when they purchased their passes. Now, Disney is giving Passholders options for how they want to handle their passes with the reopening.
Disney World is moving towards a reopening, and there are going to be a lot of new protocols in place.
PhotoPass Photographers in Hollywood Studios
Disney is making a lot of experience updates to the theme parks in the interest of keeping guests and Cast Members healthy and safe. With the new Disney Park Pass theme park reservation system and cancellations abound, it can be hard to keep up. Well, now, Disney has updated the way that the PhotoPass service will function in the reopened parks.
Disney World is set to begin a phased reopening of the theme parks on July 11th, but we won’t all have to wait that long.
Magic Kingdom
Between limited capacities and the new theme park reservation system, we’re wondering IF we’ll be able to get into the parks when they open. On the other hand, some Annual Passholders in the Disney World area will be able to get into the parks BEFORE July 11th! Disney just announced the dates for the Annual Passholder previews!
Disney World isn’t even open yet, but the last few hours have sure been a crazy ride!
Big Thunder Mountain
And here’s the thing: now that the proverbial flood gates have opened, Disney World info seems to be gushing OUT! In addition to finding out Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival is now starting July 15th, MagicBands will no longer be given to resort guest for free next year, and Mickey’s-Not-So-Scary Halloween Party being canceled, even more details about Disney World’s attractions and entertainment have come spilling out!

The Force will be strong with your little Jedi pup thanks to these Star Wars Leashes and Collar we spotted today at World of Disney in Disney Springs!
There are a lot of changes coming to Disney World this fall.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom
Perhaps the BIGGEST change is that we won’t be hangin’ with our villainous Disney pals this Halloween. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has been canceled this year. Now, those who have purchased tickets to the event will receive refunds.
Hey guys! Fun fact: the last 24 hours have been absolutely INSANE! By now, we know YOU KNOW exactly what we’re talkin’ about!
Peter Pan’s Flight
Not only is Disney’s new reservation system is launching in mere days, but Disney has also shared that there will be no Park Hopper option for the foreseeable future and no more free MagicBands for resort guests. Mickey’s-Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has been canceled for 2020 and Food and Wine Festival is starting in July. Since there have been so many HUGE news stories, we’re scurrying around to get a few more refined details for you!
The global health crisis has had a pretty big effect on the entertainment industry.
The Rise of Skywalker at AMC
Just last week, we reported that AMC Theatres were working towards a summer reopening. Now, the movie theater chain has announced that they will be opening 450 U.S. locations on July 15th and the remaining 150 on July 24th.
A few days ago, we shared the full list of programs Disney+ would be releasing next month!
