food IS a theme park
Earlier this year, the Walt Disney World theme parks and many of the Resort hotels reopened, but not without a few changes.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
Aside from the mask requirement and limited capacity, one of the biggest changes at the theme parks has been the temporary suspension of FastPass+.
ICYMI, The Lunching Pad reopened TODAY in Magic Kingdom! This spot is back to its usual duties of serving counter service eats to guests who have blasted into Tomorrowland.
The Lunching Pad
There are no major changes to the menu to report upon reopening… and that’s not a bad thing at all, when you consider that The Lunching Pad serves — among other items — the Pepper Jack Warm Stuffed Pretzel AND the Cream Cheese Warm Stuffed Pretzel! Join us as we check out the newly reopened Lunching Pad, and grab a pretzel (and more) while we’re at it! [Read more…]
Halloween may not be here yet, but we’re already stocking up on Christmas spirit jerseys and ornaments!
Mickey and Minnie Ornaments
Now, the only question we have is how late will the parks be open when we visit during Christmastime? Disney is starting to give us a better idea of that now.
Disney has really hopped on the retro merchandise train this year, and we are NOT complaining.
Sunset Club Couture
With influences from the 90s, 80s, and BEYOND; Disney’s new retro merchandise craze has us feeling totally nostalgic. Today, we’re moonwalking over to Hollywood Studios where we spotted som FLY new retro pullovers — just in time for cooler weather!
Although several hotels are still closed at Walt Disney World, many have reopened and are now welcoming guests.
Beach Club Resort in Disney World
Slowly, more options, like room service and even Table Service Mobile Order, are being offered at Disney Resort hotels, and now guests can book additional types of rooms at some Disney resorts.
Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can. Except we don’t think any old spider can land his own merchandise on shopDisney!
Marvel MagicBand
But Spider-Man can! And he’s the star attraction of the launch of Marvel Mania on shopDisney.

As you’ve probably noticed mobile devices have been a HUGE help in the reopened Disney properties. The use of the My Disney Experience app in Disney World has helped to limit physical contact and expedite different processes. Ahead of reopening, Aulani Resort now has an app of its own!
It’s good to be bad, especially if you’re a Disney Villain.
Cursed Caravan with Lady Tremaine
And one of the most baddest of the Disney baddies is the Wicked Stepmother, aka Lady Tremaine, who has her own limited edition doll and pins coming to the Villains edition of the Disney Designer Collection Midnight Masquerade Series.
As Walt Disney World continues in its phased reopening, restaurants are continuing to reopen along with the rest of the Resort.
Tomorrowland
Yesterday, for instance, delivered the reopenings of Chefs de France in EPCOT and ABC Commissary in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. And today, we’re coming to you from Magic Kingdom to bring you news of a spot that has joined the list of reopened restaurants… [Read more…]
RED ALERT! Yesterday, we shared that another booth would be opening at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! So, of course we made our way to EPCOT to check it out.
Chocolate Studio Booth
But, when we arrived, it was not at all what we expected!
