food IS a theme park
Big CHANGES have hit Disney this week.
Disney World
From changes with Genie+ to changes on restaurant menus, things aren’t all the same as they were just a few days ago. Let’s go through some of the biggest updates from this week!
While some families love the planning that a Disney World vacation takes, others may prefer a more laid-back option like Disney Cruise Line!
The Disney Dream in Castaway Cay!
When on a Disney Cruise, most of your dining is included, and you can choose whether or not you want to book extra offerings outside what is offered on the ship (which is a TON). So you can just sit back and relax if that’s what you wish! The Disney Dream especially has so many offerings to take advantage of while on board, and now you can win a trip on the Dream with just a few clicks!
Air travel has been changing a lot lately.
Flying high
Mask requirements changed, flight routes have been taken away and added in some areas, new airlines have been introduced, and some airlines are even trying to merge. There have been issues with canceled flights recently, and it doesn’t look like that’s going to change any time soon.
Father’s Day is right around the corner!
Celebrate Dad sign in Disney World
There are tons of ways you can celebrate your Dad, including exclusive foods in Disney World. One of the most stressful parts of Father’s Day is finding the perfect gift for Dad, and we’ve got some Disney-themed gift guides to help! If you’re still looking for a gift for Dad, then check out this Father’s Day sale!
Disney is no stranger to supply shortages. We’ve seen issues with bubble wand shortages, and the Monte Cristo sandwich was even taken off the menu at the Plaza Restaurant due to a turkey shortage.

More recently, we’ve seen the ramifications of the Jif peanut butter recall in the parks as some desserts and food items with peanut butter were not available. And now, there’s another ingredient shortage that may lead to missing menu items in the Disney parks.
When Starbucks and Disney collide, it can be a magical combination.
Coffee in the Most Magical Place on Earth
Whether you like to sip your iced Starbucks coffee in Disney World or pour your coffee into a Disney Starbucks mug at home, it’s a little more fun with a bit of Disney magic. For Disney World’s 50th anniversary, Disney and Starbucks released a popular blue tumbler followed by a NEW gold and blue bottle. Although the new bottle was previously only spotted in Disney World, it’s now officially online!
The 2022 D23 Expo is gearing up to be THE Disney fan event of this year, with lots of fun activities, exclusive merchandise, and potentially HUGE announcements about Disney’s current and upcoming projects.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect Disney Parks around the world.
@Disney
We’ve seen Disneyland Paris close and later reopen, and Hong Kong Disneyland went through a similar closing and reopening process. Back in March, Shanghai Disney Resort closed due to COVID-19, and now we have an update.
