food IS a theme park
Welcome back to Magic Kingdom, DFB friends!
Cinderella Castle
We’re back with another update on everything new and exciting at Disney World’s flagship park. Let’s take a look at some new construction, merchandise, and more!
Disneyland shared a ton of valuable information today to those hoping to visit the parks following their historic year-long closure. Among the information shared included dates on when tickets will go on sale, as well as when guests can begin to make those required park reservations.

If you’re a Disneyland Legacy Passholder, you’re probably wondering what this means for your ability to visit the parks once they reopen. We wish we had great news to share with you, but it looks like things could get a bit bumpy over the next couple of weeks.
Ever since the global pandemic hit, health and safety measures changed and have continued to evolve in the Disney Parks and around the world.

The face mask policies in Disney World have evolved over time, capacity levels have changed, and travel policies have developed and been revised over the last year. But, with COVID-19 vaccinations becoming more available for many people around the country, health and safety policies may be changing again as more focus starts to be given to vaccine passports.
Disney World is constantly changing!

Sometimes we see those changes coming and sometimes we don’t. Last month, a few things definitely caught us off guard. Here are the three most unexpected things that happened in Disney World in March!
California continues to make adjustments to its COVID-19 regulations.
California Beach
Recently, we’ve seen changes made to the state’s reopening guidelines as over 20 million vaccines have been administered. Now, California is beginning to look towards life post-pandemic, as they anticipate fully reopening the state.
In the last year, we’ve seen a lot of “sprucing up” going on around the Walt Disney World parks, but especially in Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle getting work done for the 50th Anniversary.
Cinderella Castle got a new paint job and now she’s getting additional decorations for the 50th Anniversary. We also noticed repainting happening at the parking entrance for the TTC and several classic attractions are getting golden touch-ups. Today, we spotted another place in the park where there’s some painting going on, and we took some photos to share with you!
The phased reopening of Walt Disney World continues! And, we’re especially happy to see more dining locations and options become available once again.
Olivia’s Cafe
Just a few weeks ago, for instance, Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort opened again to guests (along with its restaurants, of course). And while Olivia’s Cafe has been open for awhile now, this hidden gem of a restaurant at Disney’s Old Key West Resort has recently reinstated brunch at Olivia’s Cafe. (And, may we say… YUM!) In fact, if you’re planning on kicking back at Old Key West yourself, then you need to know about ANOTHER quick-service spot reopening to guests!
Disneyland has announced a lot of details about the reopening of the theme parks.

We know a lot more about the return of ticket sales, dining, and attractions. Now, we’ve got a full list of the attractions coming to Disneyland Resort. Several attractions WON’T be reopening with the parks — and one, in particular, caught our eye.
This is NOT a drill: Disneyland just dropped a TON on info ahead of their park reopening on April 30th! 🥳
It’s…so…beautiful
In addition to letting us know which restaurants and rides will be reopening with the park, we also got news on the specifics of park tickets — and one very important feature that wasn’t present when Disney World first reopened.
Disney is getting ready to reopen Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park at the end of this month.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge | March 2020
So far, we’ve seen updates in terms of when dining reservations for the restaurants in the parks will be available, when tickets will be on sale, and more details about the future reopening. What rides will be open when Disneyland reopens you ask? We’ve got an update on that too and some BIG news about one super popular ride — Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
