food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at EPCOT!
Festival of the Holidays Sign
And, we’ve got plenty of construction, merchandise, and food updates to share with you! So, let’s dive right on in!
The Keister Coaster (with arguably one of the CREEPIEST clown decorations) at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn is currently under construction and its refurbishment schedule actually got extended to the end of the year.
Luna Park Pool Construction
A Cast Member had told us that the slide’s signature clown had officially left the building and wouldn’t be back, but we hadn’t heard any updates in terms of what would be replacing our scary friend. BUT today we finally got an update and now we know what (and who) will be featured in the Keister Coaster’s new design!
It’s time for a leisurely stroll around Disney’s BoardWalk!

We made it out to EPCOT’s nearby resorts to check out the new merch and foodie updates since our last visit! Come check out Disney’s BoardWalk Inn and Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts!
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort reopened to guests in October. But when the hotel reopened, some dining options remained closed upon the initial reopening.

For a lot of us, the Disney parks make a pretty good happy place.
As many of us wrap up the year working from home, we might be looking for a change of scenery. Whether you can make it to Disney World or not, we’ve got you covered with some amazing and FREE Disney World desktop wallpapers for your computer. Pick your favorite!
If you’ve ever made a huge merchandise purchase at a store in a Disney theme park and then had to lug it all around the park throughout the rest of the day, you know how annoying that can be! But hey, when you gotta get that new merch, you gotta get that new merch!
Windtraders Holding Disney Merchandise — Trial
Prior to the park closures, you could have items held for you at the front of the park or sent to your Disney World hotel (so you wouldn’t have to carry them around). When the parks reopened, however, these types of package pickup and delivery were suspended. Disney’s Animal Kingdom tested a modified merchandise holding system earlier this year, but now package pickup could be returning!
If you’re looking for a thrill, Hollywood Studios has some great options for “big kid” rides!
Hollywood Studios
You can “drop in” at the Tower of Terror, become a pilot on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, or blast off to an Aerosmith concert at Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. Given how popular these attractions are, the new health and safety measures and physical distancing can definitely decrease the number of guests that get to ride them each day. But today, we noticed a BIG change in safety measures on one of these attractions. [Read more…]
We’ve been keeping a close eye on the construction of what once was a mysterious shack being built along the Kilimanjaro Safaris route in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
New building on Kilimanjaro Safaris
Slowly, the construction was completed, and now it’s looking like a fully furnished, little building! We’ve spotted a bunch of new things at this spot recently, like a fire pit, table, clothesline, and more, but we’ve still wondered…what exactly is this place for?? Well, after spotting some new animals hanging out here today, we now know!
