food IS a theme park
The Germany Pavilion in EPCOT is an unlikely place for a very exciting shopping spot — for Annual Passholders at least. That is until recently… .
Annual Passholder Pop-up Shop
Last week, the Disney World Annual Passholder Pop-up Shop opened in EPCOT and it’s got LOTS of exciting exclusive merchandise and deals for Passholders. We stopped in recently to see if there was anything new from the last time we visited and we hit the MAGNET JACKPOT.
Name a more iconic Disney resort hotel water slide than the Keister Coaster at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn and Villas. We’ll wait.
Luna Park Pool at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
Well, something is going on with our clown-faced friend, and we’re not sure how we feel about it. Luna Park Pool went under construction a few weeks ago, covering up the Keister Coaster’s visage in the process. Now some surprising details are emerging… Could it be (GASP!) CURTAINS for the CLOWN!?
The State of California has issued its theme park reopening guidelines, pushing a potential reopening for Disneyland into the fourth tier of reopening. Orange County currently remains in the second tier.

With the release of the new guidelines, an outpouring of response has come from the community in and around Anaheim. The Anaheim Mayor took to Twitter immediately after the announcement to issue a statement, and now Disneyland’s President has done the same.
Disneyland has remained closed since March and after significant back and forth between Disney, other local theme parks, and the California Government, California Governor Newsom’s office has released theme park reopening guidelines.

Most notably, the guidelines restrict large theme parks like Disneyland from reopening until Orange County reaches Tier 4, which could take months. Now, the Anaheim Mayor (who has spoken out before) has responded to the guidelines.

California’s Governor Newsom said discussions regarding theme park reopening guidelines were “forthcoming” some time ago. Disneyland and other California theme parks requested, however, that the state not finalize the guidelines without their input. Early details about the guidelines were revealed a few weeks ago, but their official release was delayed following pushback. Today, the official theme park reopening guidelines were finally released.
Ah, the glorious Mickey Waffle. It is hands down one of the most iconic treats in Disney World.
Mickey Waffle at Magic Kingdom
Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Magic Kingdom has been a go-to for Mickey Waffles (and Nutella Waffles!) for some time, but that’s all changed today and we can’t say we’re happy about it. Mickey Waffles are GONE from the menu at Sleepy Hollow!
Ahh, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort — a cozy spot with the added benefit of being walkable to EPCOT AND Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Yacht Club Resort Lobby
When the resort reopened last month, we noticed a few furniture updates around the resort’s lobby. And now, the Yacht Club Lobby has seen some more pretty significant changes. Let’s see!
Since Disney World reopened we’ve seen various changes, like the introduction of the Park Pass reservation system, social distancing measures, online check-in at table service restaurants, and more.
Magic Kingdom
One area where we’ve seen some serious changes is Disney World’s holiday offerings for 2020. Although we’ve already gotten lots of details about what to expect for Halloween and Christmas, New Year’s Eve is still a large question mark. What will New Year’s Eve be like at Disney World this year? Here’s what we know.
One thing that we love about celebrating holidays is creating fun themed crafts to add to our decorations, and Halloween is no different.
