In the blink of an eye, it’s already August! It was a busy month for Walt Disney World, and we saw a lot of announcements over these past few weeks.
The EPCOT Monorail is back!
Now, we’re rounding up 10 new things that we found out in July. Let’s get crackin’!
Can you believe that tomorrow is the first day of AUGUST?! This year has been much quicker than last year!
This year is more than halfway over!
Over the past 7 months, we’ve seen a lot of huge changes and massive news bombs come out of Disney World, and the wild ride is just beginning! Not everything has fully reopened yet and some things are even taking a step backward in terms of health and safety protocols, so if you’re traveling soon, here are 11 things you need to know about Disney World in August.
We can’t even fathom everything that’s happened since last year — 2020 was a crazy year to say the least! Disney World closed and reopened. And we watched as health and safety guidelines went from being prominent at the parks to being phased out.
One of our FAVORITE resort lobbies…Jambo House at Animal Kingdom Lodge!
What a year, right? And there are STILL things at Disney World that haven’t reopened yet, including restaurants AND hotels. But that’s changing, too. Many of our favorite snack spots have reopened, along with many of our favorite restaurants, and we now have official reopening dates for the rest of Disney World’s hotels!
Here at DFB, we understand that some of our readers are on special diets and can’t always eat the things we eat at Disney World.
Orange and Raspberry Dole Whip Swirl!
But we want to help you in choosing some of the best food that you CAN eat, so we’re putting together some lists to help you choose.
It’s no secret that a trip to Disney World can get expensive.

There is a new fireworks show and projections coming to Magic Kingdom, a new daytime show coming to Animal Kingdom, the debut of Harmonious in EPCOT, golden character statues will be going up around the parks, and we’re FINALLY getting the opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure! Disney recently announced that they will be offering extended evening theme park hours for select guests for the big anniversary, and we’re here to tell you which guests will get the new perk!
A ton of things have been reopening in Disney World lately!
Let’s Go to Disney World!
We’ve seen the reopening of pre-shows, single rider lines, and the dining room at La Cava del Tequila! We also found out that Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge will reopen on August 26th, which hopefully means the return of restaurants like Boma and Jiko as well! But for now, we just found where an EXCLUSIVE Jiko drink is hiding while the restaurant remains closed!
We’re not going to lie — we are OBSESSED with Minnie Ears ’round these parts.
So many ears…
And Disney knows we’re not the only ones — because why else would they release SO MANY? And ears come in so many different varieties that it’s easy to find a pair to represent everything we love about Disney! But did you know you could also match your ears to your Disney World resort?
Another week has gone by in Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney parks all over the world…and what a week it has been!!
It’s Been Quite the Week for Disney News!
This week, we got a HUGE update on fireworks, saw some big distancing and mask policy changes in action, and more. If you’re looking for all the latest Disney news from this past week, with updates you NEED to know about, we’ve got it right here for you!
When it comes to spicy food, most of us understand that there’s REAL spicy and…then there’s Disney spicy.
HOT!
And of course, Disney’s version of spicy food is usually tamed down to appeal more to the masses. But there are still some places at Disney World where you can get the real deal — the kind of food that will have steam coming out of your ears and make you break out into a sweat.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
