food IS a theme park
Have you ever participated in a runDisney race?

Disney’s races are incredibly popular — getting booked quickly and far in advance. And if you’re looking to sign up for this summer’s runDisney Virtual Series, then we’ve got some new details to share!
It’s officially April in Disney World, and we’re seeing colorful treats EVERYWHERE.
Tree of Life
While we’ve seen plenty of pastel Easter treats and bunny butts, Disney recently released all of the treats coming to the theme parks for Earth Day! There are some returning treats and drinks, but others are new. And today, we’re taking a look at a BRAND NEW cupcake!
We’ve been in search of the BEST spot in Walt Disney World over on our Instagram Stories and we’re getting close to finding it!
Ever just chill here? Yeah, same.
But, these aren’t just the places that WE think are the best in Disney World — we turned to our readers to tell us where their favorite spot was and then took to find the best, bracket-style! Last week, we started with a whopping 32 locations and we’ve been narrowing it down ever since. So, which spots are going head-to-head for the ULTIMATE match-up? Here are the latest results!
We’ve seen quite a few updates about COVID-19, vaccines, and more lately — especially when it comes to the topic of vaccine passports.
Flying to Orlando
Recently, we’ve shared details about how vaccine passports may be required for travel and more this summer, and we’ve seen Florida’s governor comment on and issue an Executive Order regarding vaccine passports as they relate to the state. And now we’ve gotten an update from Dr. Anthony Fauci about vaccine passports and whether he thinks they’ll be required by the federal government.
In accordance with health and safety regulations, Disney World is currently operating at a limited capacity.
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Although some resorts, restaurants, and attractions are scheduled to reopen soon, many remain closed. Other rides are temporarily unavailable for planned refurbishments. We’ve been keeping a close eye on all of these closures and updating you regularly. Now, we’re bringing you all the hotels and attractions that will be closed in Disney World in April 2021!
All right, mug collectors! We’ve got some new finds for ya.
MUGS!
We love keeping an eye out for new mugs in the parks. After all, your morning coffee tastes better when it’s in a Disney mug, right?! Well, we’ve spotted LOTS of new finds lately, from monorail to Star Wars designs! But if you live far from the parks, there are some new options online for you to get your Disney AND coffee fix at the same time. It’s a win-win, right?!
Even if you’ve been to Disney World in the past few months, there are some recent changes that will make you do a double-take.
France Pavilion Expansion
It’s not all bad — we’ve experienced a few fun and totally unexpected surprises that we’re gonna talk about today —but, if you don’t know about this stuff you might get caught totally unaware.
Fans of a certain willy-nilly, silly, old bear are going to have a pretty good day today.
Mickey and Minnie nuiMOs
Why? Because the Winnie the Pooh and Friends nuiMOs plushes are now available online! nuiMOs are the newest Disney merch trend where you can collect posable, dressable (and pricy!) mini plushes of your favorite Disney characters. Let’s check out the new ones!
If you love Mickey ears, you probably know Disney’s released quite a few pairs lately!
OoooOoooo! So Pretty!
We’ve seen pretty pastel rainbow ears, a twist on Minnie’s classic polka-dotted look, and even new light-up balloon ears! But when we first saw Disney’s new (blue? purple?) ears in the parks, we had some QUESTIONS. Luckily, if you’re a fan of these kinda controversial ears, you can now snag ’em online!
It’s kind of a weird time for Disney World right now.
EPCOT
As you can imagine there are LOTS of upcoming offerings that we’re excited about, from attractions to restaurants and everything in between. At the same time, we haven’t had any big NEW announcements in a while. So, there’s only so much we know about the next few years in Disney World. What can we expect for the years to come?
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
