food IS a theme park
We have more refurbishment news to share with you!
EPCOT
We’ve received loads of refurbishment announcements over the last few days! But as a recently redone dining location reopens, another one will be closing.
You might be getting a sugar high from reading about all of the treats that we’ve been trying at Disney Springs in Disney World recently.
Everglazed
Recently we’ve tried the newest cookies (and CAKE) of the month over at Gideon’s Bakehouse and devoured more Dole Whip (duh)! And, now we’re back at the recently opened Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew for more new sweets!
Disney World may no longer offer free MagicBands with resort hotel stays, but there are still plenty of great MagicBand colors and designs to choose from if you want to buy one!
MagicBands
Most recently we saw the Dooney & Bourke Americana MagicBand, along with some new glittery Magicbands, a MagicBand with Mickey-shaped snacks, and a brand new Up MagicBand!
There are a LOT of things that are different about traveling to Walt Disney World right now. You need a Disney Park Pass reservation to even get INTO a theme park, there are very few live shows, character flotillas and cavalcades have replaced traditional meet-and-greets, and so on… .
Character flotilla at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
A LOT of these changes you can plan for well in advance of your trip. You can reserve Park Passes as soon as you know you’re going to Disney World (subject to availability, of course), you can pack extra masks and hand sanitizer to prepare for enhanced health and safety measures, and you can temper expectations knowing you may not get to do EVERYTHING you were once able to enjoy at Disney World.
We have been waiting to eat at Space 220 for a WHILE now.
Mission: SPACE and Upcoming Space 220
This new restaurant coming to EPCOT is set to send guests onto the Centauri Space Station where they’ll enjoy dinner with a view of Earth from SPACE. The restaurant was supposed to open back in 2019, but it has been delayed for a number of reasons. Today we spotted something that might indicate there’s some more progress being made.
We’ve got a treat for you today!
Disney’s Pop Century Resort
We’re exploring one of Disney World’s value resort options so that you can know EXACTLY what to expect when you book a room there. We’ve already brought you a full room tour, but now we’re taking you through pics and video of ALL of Disney’s Pop Century Resort!
There are plenty of quick snack stands to stop at for a bite in Disney Springs!
B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co.
We’re fans of AristoCrepes and The Daily Poutine, and we like to stop by Sunshine Churros if we’re in a mood for a unique sweet treat. Today, we stopped by B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co., but it wasn’t just for fun. We’re here to try the newest item on the menu — the Mardi Gras Smoked Crawdog!
We’re SO excited for all the new things coming to EPCOT!

A new restaurant, TWO new rides, and MORE?! It seems like we’re just starting to scratch the surface on EPCOT’s makeover at Disney World! And, we’ve got an update on construction progress so grab your walkman and crank up the Awesome Mix Tape!
Anyone who’s strolled into the Magic Kingdom has strolled past Main Street Firehouse.
Main Street Firehouse
This structure is a staple of the Main Street buildings. It might not be as famous as its Disneyland counterpart that houses Walt’s apartment, but it is still pretty cool. Up until recently, the space held the sign in for the Sorcerors of Magic Kingdom game, and now, it seems some work might be done.
With the stay-at-home order now lifted, guests can once again eat and drink at Disneyland Resort.
Carthay Circle at California Adventure
Recently, we saw a few restaurants announce when they would reopen for in-person dining and dining reservations became available at those spots. We then shared that Carthay Circle Lounge would be reopening soon for its Alfresco dining experience, and two other Disney restaurants would be reopening on Buena Vista Street. Well, if you’ve been wanting to make reservations for Carthay Circle, the wait is over! Reservations for this Disney spot are now available.
