EPCOT is having a BIG day!
December 5th marks a milestone in EPCOT’s transformation process! A lot is happening inside the park and we noticed that it has caused a change in Disney’s app. Let’s take a look at what’s been updated!
It’s a very big day!
December 5th marks Walt Disney’s birthday, and in honor of the man who started it all, Disney chose the day to officially open a NEW area of EPCOT. The World Celebration Gardens and Walt the Dreamer Statue are two brand new additions to the park — part of the transformation that has been in progress for the past few years. Now, the area is officially open to guests, and of course — there’s a new park map to feature the new areas.
There are new things popping up at Disney World seemingly every day.
In order for all this change to happen, though, we sometimes have to say goodbye. Over the years, we’ve bid our farewells to attractions, shops, and even restaurants. Over the past couple years in particular, though, there have been several temporary closures for Disney World restaurants, and even a few permanent closures, or closures that happened a WHILE ago but still haven’t reopened. Let’s talk about it!
Disney’s nighttime spectaculars are some of the best entertainment we might ever see.
The fireworks, lasers, and projections that we often see come together perfectly to tell beautiful stories that only Disney could tell. But have you ever wondered what goes into designing and creating one of these magnificent shows? Well, now you can get a behind-the-scenes look at how Disney put together their newest nighttime show– Luminous The Symphony of Us!
Have you ever seen something so odd and brilliant you CAN’T look away? That’s definitely us with this one… .
If you’ve ever seen a monkfish, you KNOW that aliens exist here on Earth. One of the strangest-looking fish we’ve ever seen, the monkfish is a prehistoric-looking seafood delicacy. With that said, if you recently found yourself in Disney Springs, you may have had the opportunity to watch a master chef slice and dice this freakish fish!
We have big DFB food news!
We know there’s a lot of restaurants (like…you know…hundreds) to try during your short trip to Disney World. But when I tell you that you should ditch the park for at least a lunch or dinner at the Crew’s Cup Lounge in Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, I mean, mean it. Seriously, this is a place you do. not. want to miss! Especially RIGHT NOW.
But first, a little backstory: We had one of the best meals ever at this spot back in 2019. But when it reopened after the COVID shutdown, one of our favorite menu items didn’t come back!
Recently, we got some very kind emails from some very kind readers who gave us hope that the prodigal menu item had returned! So we had to go check it out!
New developments have come to light regarding the continuing concerns between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) board, and Disney. Today, employees were hit with a 2 million dollar bill for back taxes owed on previous job perks.
Here’s some background. Following the Reedy Creek Improvement District’s (or RCID) dissolution earlier this year, employees of the district lost perks like park tickets and covered discounts. After backlash over this change, the newly created Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD), created by Governor Ron DeSantis, approved stipends for employees instead.
