food IS a theme park
Happy May the 4th Star Wars fans.

We have eagerly been anticipating an announcement for Disney World’s new Star Wars Hotel — the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser — and now we have just that.
If you’re visiting Disney World in May, there are some new additions you’ll want to know about!
Welcome to Disney Springs!
In the past few months, we’ve celebrated Black History Month, Women’s History Month, and Earth Month. May is Asian Pacific American Heritage month and Disney World has some celebrations in store!
Disney World pool bars are the place to be lately!
The Drop Off Pool Bar
We’ve recently been super impressed with The Drop Off Pool Bar at Disney’s Art of Animation, and we’ve recently tried fun drinks from there called the Tipsy Rabbit and the Fish Tank. Today, we noticed a new milkshake that ready to party for Cinco de Mayo!
Education is a constant thing, because it seems like we learn something new every day!
T-Rex
Disney World has celebrated teachers with hotel discounts and restaurant discounts, and now two more restaurants in Disney Springs are offering deals for teachers!
Welcome, travelers, to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
We have a few updates to share since our last trip to Animal Kingdom, so let’s dive right in with all of the latest news!
Isn’t it just magical that BOTH Disney Parks are now open for the first time in over a year? ✨
We’re big fans — how about you?
We are more than ecstatic that we can eat Mickey Ice Cream Bars, pose in front of castles, and wave to our favorite friends on both coasts. And, we obviously can’t pass up the opportunity to ride our favorite attractions in all of the parks now that we can visit! However, you don’t have to head to a Disney Park to experience this classic ride from home!
A number of changes related to the COVID-19 pandemic, masks, and more have been announced recently.
Health and Safety Signs in Disney World
The Centers for Disease Control have updated their guidance regarding wearing masks outdoors, the Transportation Security Administration extended their mask requirements for planes and public transportation, and we’ve seen some health measures changed in Disney World. Earlier today, Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis signed an executive order suspending local COVID-19 regulations and also signed a law related to COVID-19 restrictions, and now Disney has responded.
Brand-new nuiMOs outfits have arrived just in time for the summer season in Disney World as well as on shopDisney! We’ll be honest, we wish these outfits came in human sizes, too!
Tigger nuIMOs
If that wasn’t enough, it looks like even MORE summer looks will arrive in the parks as well as on shopDisney next month!
There’s a NEW baby care center in Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
Sometimes, areas of the park get a little spiffying up. We’ve seen traces of that all over Magic Kingdom, from Cinderella Castle to Fantasyland! And while the baby care center on Main Street, U.S.A. gets some TLC, a new temporary location has opened in Tomorrowland.
It’s hard to believe that it’s already May, but that means we’re some of us are saying bye to the snow 👋 and hello to warm summer days!
It’s getting warmer in Disney World!
And, if you’re ready to flip your wardrobe and add some new summer finds, Disney is ready to help you out — after all, aren’t they always? Already this season Disney has released a HUGE line of tropical summer clothing and homeware, and now there’s even more to match!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
