food IS a theme park
Back in September, Disney made a lot of HUGE announcements.
Destination D23
Destination D23 took place at the beginning of September with big announcements like when Journey of Water was going to open and when the EPCOT transformation would be complete. They also made one big announcement about a ride that would be changing in November!
To quote the Lion King, “It is time.”
Christmas in Disney World!
It is November 1st and Halloween is officially over. It’s time to deck the halls, gather up the garland, decorate the tree, and…sip your favorite Starbucks holiday drink. That’s right, the Starbucks holiday drinks (and red cups) are coming back SOON!
Ever since Florida Governor Ron DeSantis changed the Reedy Creek Improvement District to the new Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD), we’ve been following along with the updates.
Reedy Creek Improvement District
Ever since the board members were named for CFTOD, we’ve seen multiple changes for the district that governs Disney World. But one of the most recently publicized decisions involved a member of the Florida Ethics Commission, who was awarded a large contract by the board. In the aftermath of that decision, CFTOD may be facing some problems.
It’s just about that time again!
Main Street crowds on New Year’s Day
As you know, those crowds flock to Disney World for the holidays, Festivals, and events, so you’ll have to “LOOK OUT” because all of those dining reservations are going to be booked out FAST! But more to the point, the reservations for a popular holiday will be opening in a few days, so get ready to grab your reservations ASAP!
Having a Disney Visa comes with some pretty sweet perks! We’ve talked about the special dining and merchandise discounts before, but did you know that there are some special experiences and events available for those with a Disney Visa card?
TRON Lightcycle / Run
Disney doesn’t advertise these experiences very loudly, so it’s easy to walk right past some FREE events without even knowing that they’re available! Next time you go to Disney World, be sure to check out these exclusive experiences!
Walt Disney World
It’s ALMOST TIME to visit ZOOTOPIA!!
Zootopia!
A Zootopia-themed land has been in the works for a while over at Shanghai Disney Resort and we’ve even seen the state-of-the-art technology and animatronics coming to this spot, but now that we’ve got an official opening date, it’s time to go over what we’ll get to see and experience there!
The best part of visiting Disney World and Disneyland is seeing ALL the characters. There are meet and greets, character dining experiences, roaming characters, rare characters, and more.
EPCOT
Of course, you never know exactly WHO you’ll run into in the parks, but there’s one character we’ve been anticipating — Asha from Disney’s new movie, Wish! Disney announced a while back that she would be coming to meet at EPCOT and Disneyland, and now we have some exciting news about her arrival.
Halloween is here, and we are doing ALL the fun and spooky things in Disney World.
Fort Wilderness
We’ve checked out all the Halloween decorations in Magic Kingdom. We’ve already been to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. We’ve also eaten a TON of Halloween snacks (and we have ZERO regrets). But now, we’re going to have some fun at one of Disney World’s resorts: Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground.
The holidays might be right around the corner, but we’re still taking in the last remnants of spooky season!
Halloween decorations
Disney World is too, because now that Halloween is officially here we’ve got a NEW treat to try. Come with us over to EPCOT to see what we’re snackin’ on today!
