food IS a theme park
It’s a little different this year, but we’ve really been enjoying the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival this year!
Food & Wine 2020!
We’ve had so many delicious treats! But, of course, no EPCOT festival is complete without TONS of great merch! We’re taking a look at ALL the new festival merchandise, so hold onto your hats (and get those wallets ready)!
Earlier this year, the popcorn boxes around Walt Disney World started presenting the buttery treat with a little extra flair… some Mary Blair flair, that is!

And then, just a few weeks later, we couldn’t help but notice that cold drink cups around the Resort had received the same bright and whimsical makeover inspired by the distinctive artistic stylings of Mary Blair. Well, today, we made the happy discovery that drink cups for hot beverages now feature the colorful design, too! [Read more…]

This awesome princess has been big news! This Friday, Mulan is releasing for premium access on Disney+ and you KNOW we’re excited to see our girl save all of China. Now, Friday’s an even BIGGER day for Mulan fans. The limited-edition Mulan Castle Collection is releasing online!
With limited capacity and no FastPass+ being two major changes in a reopened Disney World, many have wondered exactly what the impact has been on the average wait time for the many rides and attractions at the four theme parks.

We’re looking forward to the NEW Cirque du Soleil show that’s coming to Disney World!
Cirque du Soleil
Drawn to Life was supposed to premiere at the Disney Springs Cirque du Soleil location earlier this year.

The EPCOT Transformation has been a BIG item on Disney’s to-do list for some time now.
Epcot Construction
As you might know, Future World is set to get a pretty major makeover into the new World Celebration complete with new greenery, new statues, and more! This work has been ongoing for a while and Future World is pretty crisscrossed with construction barriers right now. Well, a new permit lets us know a little bit about the progress behind the barrier!
