food IS a theme park
More and more Disneyland spots are reopening!
It’s back!
Today, we stopped by the newly reopened Hearthstone Lounge at Disney’s Grand Californian Resort to see how it was!
This week was a bit of a rollercoaster in Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
Disney made several new announcements that ranged from reopenings to policy changes, an opening timeframe for a highly anticipated Disney World hotel, and we even witnessed a bizarre sign malfunction, so let’s go over everything unexpected that happened this week!
Disney World is still phasing out a lot of their previous health and safety guidelines, and we’re seeing more and more attractions and pre-shows return.
Disney World
This week we saw Disney announce return dates for several attractions, closing dates for two shows, and a surprise reopening. Shall we review?
If there’s one thing we’ve got a weakness for, it’s Disney merchandise!
We’re suckers for some Disney shopping!
What Disney fan doesn’t love to collect tees, Minnie ears, film memorabilia, toys, or some other item that reminds them of the “magic?” And while there are plenty of fun things to shop in the theme parks, today we’re sharing all the brand-new products that you can find online!
Disney World’s Grand Floridian Resort offers quite a few places to dine.

One of those spots, 1900 Park Fare, is known for serving one of the most unique dishes in Disney World — Strawberry Soup. It’s not a smoothie, but a cold, sweet soup. However, 1900 Park Fare is currently closed, so where can we get Strawberry Soup?? We’ll tell ya!
Appleseed Orchard is back at EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival this year! This spot features both kid and adult-friendly offerings that are all about apples, perfect for the whole family!

Last year, we saw this booth in the EPCOT Showplace, but this year it’s back home in the Canada Pavilion!
We love Disney for so, so many reasons: the foods, the rides, the shows, the warm-and-fuzzy feelings it leaves us with after a day well spent. What we don’t love are the ride lines. Such. Long. Lines.
(Three hours for Seven Dwarfs’ Mine Train? Yeah, how ’bout no.)
Ugh…
Fortunately, not every ride is going to demand you stand in a line and waste your Disney day away. Consider hopping onto these rides if you’re tired of waiting in those never-ending Disney queues.

Fridays are for online shopping. We don’t make the rules.
We need them allll
It’s time to review all the new Disney merch we found this week, including three new mugs on shopDisney, a new Disney nuiMO collection, a brand new Imagination Key Collection, and more! Let’s get into it!
Whether you’ve found a better deal at a property off-site or you’re needing to cancel your vacation altogether, sometimes you’ve got to let go of that Disney World hotel room you reserved.
Coronado Springs’ Gran Destino Tower
No, Disney’s not going to be mad at you. In fact, this happens often — and Disney has a straightforward hotel cancellation process to help you worry about one less thing. [Read more…]
Oga’s Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is one of our favorite places to grab a drink in both Disney World and Disneyland!
Oga’s Cantina
They have fun-themed drinks like the Dagobah Slug Slinger and Yub Nub, and even a drink that will make your mouth go numb! Oga’s also has a few snacks on the menu that are…let’s just say, unusual for our planet! The Rodian Ration is an alcoholic sort of jello with boba balls inside (which makes them look like fish eggs, in our opinion). And then there’s the notorious Happabore Sampler. Think of it as a charcuterie and cheese board, but WEIRD!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
