food IS a theme park
We’ve traveled the world in EPCOT, walked the red carpet in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and wished upon a star at Magic Kingdom.
Tree of Life
But have we really explored the BEST park in Disney World yet… or have we saved the best for last?
No matter how big of a fan of sports you are, you might not know about all the exclusive offerings that Disney World has for you!
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex
While ESPN Club is still closed on Disney’s BoardWalk, there are still plenty of places to catch a game. Or, you could always visit ESPN Wide World of Sports if you’ve timed your vacation to coincide with an event! But, every once in a while, there’s a little something extra going on in the parks — like the Super Bowl Parade for example — and, soon a special Disneyland offering will be making its way to Disney World!
Planning a Disney World trip can be stressful! There’s a lot that goes into vacationing in the Most Magical Place on Earth, and you’ll need to be able to navigate the park pass system, Disney Genie and Genie+, as well as book dining reservations for any table service restaurants you want to experience.
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
The first (and arguably most important) thing you’ll want to do is make your park reservations. Park reservations (or park passes) are required for every day of your trip, and are subject to availability so they may sell out. Here’s what you can do when that happens.
Disney rides, restaurants, and experiences go under refurbishment frequently to keep them in tip-top shape for guests. And, it’s important to know that just because your favorite spot is closed for a period of time, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s getting a complete overhaul — it could just need some technical fixes or a paint job!
Pirates of the Caribbean Construction in Disneyland
Over in Disneyland, we’ve been keeping track of the refurbishments at Pirates of the Caribbean (where they’re completely overhauling the queue area) and it looks like one of the additional closures impacted by the refurbishment will be reopening soon! Here’s what you need to know!
Want to feel your mouth go NUMB while drinking a cocktail? The iconic Fuzzy Tauntaun at Oga’s Cantina could be just the drink to get. But this fun concoction seems to be encountering some potential issues.
The Fuzzy Tauntaun!
The Fuzzy Tauntaun has done it all — made our list of the most bizarre snacks, made our list of some of the BEST snacks, and even inspired us to make an at-home version. But if your goal is to get one in the parks, there’s something you need to know.
To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
Things continue to change when it comes to the COVID-19 situation.
COVID Sign
Mask requirements have changed on places like planes and at Disney World, testing requirements for certain cruise lines have been updated, and hospitalizations in places like Florida have even increased. Now, there has been a big change when it comes to what travel destinations are considered “high” risk for COVID-19.
Macaroni and cheese. Mickey and Minnie. Disney and Churros. Some things just make sense together, you know?
Churros and Disney just make sense.
Few Disney snacks are as iconic as the churro — and although it wasn’t created in the parks it has certainly become a staple, inviting flavorful twists and limited-time updates on the classic, crunchy, cinnamon treat. And now, Disney is preparing to celebrate National Churro Day in a BIG way!
EPCOT is currently undergoing a BIG transformation that includes new rides, restaurants, stores, and more.
Cosmic Rewind
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is about to open up officially, we just saw the opening of Connections Cafe and Eatery, and we found out a lot more about the new things still to come! And now, another part of EPCOT just got a transformation.
Got the high ground? Good. Then it’s time to dive into the story of a truly beloved Star Wars character in a way you’ve never experienced!
