food IS a theme park
Can you believe that it’s almost been a month since every single Disney Park around the world closed??

Since many of the parks won’t be reopening “until further notice,” we’ve all been anxiously waiting for any news about when we can set foot in Disney again (we just miss it so much!). And, it’s going to be a bit longer before guests can visit Tokyo Disneyland.

Right now, a lot of us are experiencing some MAJOR post-Disney blues since we haven’t been visiting the parks!

Although Disney has been trying to do everything they can to help by donating excess food, providing furlough for employees, and even extending Annual Passes, the company may still take a hit financially with the recent closures. Since ALL the Disney Parks are closed (which hasn’t happened before now) and Disney Cruise Line sailings are cancelled, Disney is likely to see some changes in the aftermath. And now we have insight into just how much the closures are impacting the value of the Walt Disney Company.
We’ve LOVED spending our time at home mixing up our favorite treats and even a few new snacks!
Joffrey’s Coffee
While we’ve already made Minnie Mouse Cupcakes and the iconic Churro Bites (!!!), we are making up a Joffrey’s Coffee staple to cuddle up with while we watch Disney+. We just miss that Disney park coffee so much!

Ever since the parks first closed, we have been trying to imagine the impact the closures will have on a powerhouse like Disney.

We’ve seen execs taking pay cuts, Cast Members being furloughed, the company taking on new debt, and even purchasing a new parcel of land. To those of us on the outside, it appears as though Disney has been thoughtfully planning their moves not only to protect themselves financially but to ensure a future for the parks we love. Former Disney CEO, Bob Iger, spoke to how the latest events have impacted the company’s vision moving forward in a recent interview with Barron’s.
These days we’re looking to add more Disney magic to our lives! Luckily it seems that every week we keep discovering NEW ways to do just that.
Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
Take a look at some of our latest findings and hopefully they can sprinkle a little pixie dust your way! We’re talking phone cases, new Loungefly bags, and even some merch inspired by the latest Disney World attraction!
Disney Chairman Bob Iger recently expressed his expectations for reopened Disney parks, spurring Wall Street to make their own predictions.

With the Disney parks currently closed, executives and analysts are looking to the potentially very different future of the parks. Even as Iger began to suggest measures that could be taken to make guests feel safe, Wells Fargo analysts are predicting that the Disney parks may not return to their pre-closure attendance levels for two years.
As many of you already know, it isn’t just Disney’s theme parks, hotels, cruise ships and film industries that are taking a big hit with this current situation. Dinsey also has a large presence on Broadway with three musicals including The Lion King, Aladdin, and Frozen, as well as a large number of touring stage show productions.

And while all Broadway performances gave their final curtain call on March 12th, the temporary closure was only set to remain in effect until April 12th. Now, the reopening of Broadway has just been pushed back.
Easter is just around the corner, and we’re ready to go on an Easter Egg Hunt with our family (with ALL Disney treats, hopefully!).
Mr. Easter Bunny and Mrs. Easter Bunny
Although we’ve been ordering our favorite Sprinkles cupcakes and making the cutest DIY Easter baskets, the holiday is about to get a LOT more magical with these themed Disney crafts and recipes! And although Easter may look a little different this year, we’re hoping these crafts and snacks will help make your holiday magical.
How many weeks of homeschooling has it been? Three? Four? We seem to be losing track of time while also simultaneously running out of ideas for how to keep the kiddos entertained!
