food IS a theme park
There has been some great news for Star Wars fans today.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World
We got a super exciting look at the rooms inside the upcoming Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, and now we learned that THREE brand new toys will be making their way to Batuu soon!
Earlier today, the Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, Josh D’Amaro, made a presentation at the IAAPA Expo about progress on many of Disney’s ongoing projects.

He shared updates on projects like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Space 220 Restaurant, and Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser in Walt Disney World. He also discussed several projects ongoing at Disneyland Paris. And we also got the chance to see several photos from inside Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, which are both still currently closed.
Get ready for some delicious tachos, nachos, and quesadillas — the 4 Rivers Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck is reopening in Disney Springs!
4 Rivers Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck in Disney Springs
When Disney Springs began its initial reopening, the 4 Rivers Cantina Barbacoa Truck sprung back into action as well, serving up awesome eats with new health and safety measures. But soon after, the food truck once again closed, and we were left to snag our Disney Springs snacks elsewhere.
The holidays have arrived at the Disneyland Resort! Well, at least to the areas that guests currently have access to. While the theme parks remain closed, Downtown Disney is available for shopping and outdoor dining, and this Thursday, Buena Vista Street will also reopen!
Christmas has arrived at Downtown Disney!
Let’s take a look at some of the seasonal dining and shopping guests can take part in!
Baby Yoda here, Baby Yoda there, Baby Yoda everywhere! It seems like Disney is releasing merchandise based on the hit Disney+ show, The Mandalorian, left and right these days!
Star Wars Mandalorian PEZ
Just recently, we’ve seen Baby Yoda magnets, phone cases, t-shirts, AND lots of toys! Now there are some super-cute new The Child bags available on shopDisney!
Headed to EPCOT for some fun at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival?
International Gateway temperature checks
Well, if you’re planning on entering through the International Gateway entrance (a.k.a. the “back” entrance), you may experience some issues. It appears Disney is experiencing some technical difficulties today with this back entrance to the park that is preventing guests from entering.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, AND Avengers Campus?! Y’all, there has been SO MUCH Disney news happening today, we can hardly wrap our heads around it.
Hoop-dee-Doo Musical Revue
However, Disney also just dropped some huge news about the shows and performers that have been canceled or let go in the parks currently.
Disney has several amazing holiday face mask designs available in the parks and online!
Gingerbread face mask
You already know that we love Christmas and holiday merchandise, so having SO MANY new face mask choices has been really great! Recently, Disney released a collection of holiday face masks with Spirit Jersey, and the classic designs must have been pretty popular, because now there’s a new mask to add to the group!
Today, at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) expo, Josh D’Amaro shared several updates on a number of ongoing and upcoming projects for Disney parks around the world.
Josh D’Amaro in EPCOT
As the Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, D’Amaro had a LOT to discuss in his presentation, and we got a chance to get more insight into what the company’s plans are for moving forward following the pandemic. He talked about several new attractions, hotels, and restaurants, but he also briefly discussed something that thoroughly excites us: plans for Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary!
We’ve been eagerly awaiting any update about a possible reopening of the theme parks at Disneyland Resort.
Red Car Trolley behind the Gates at Disney California Adventure Park
Under the current California theme park reopening guidelines, Orange County — where Disneyland is located — must reach the lowest (yellow) tier in California’s system. Most recently, the county had remained in the red (3rd) tier, but today that has changed.
