food IS a theme park
One of the most popular rides at Disney World is Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Rise of the Resistance
It’s such a hot ticket item that Disney has a special boarding process in place where guests must join a virtual queue to get a boarding group via the My Disney Experience app. TYPICALLY the boarding groups vanish in mere SECONDS…but not today.
We’re already seeing a lot of big changes happening at Disney World in 2021!
Hall of Presidents
From Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure getting closer to opening at EPCOT to continuing updates from Disney on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (aka the Star Wars hotel), a lot is already going on at the beginning of the New Year!
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Mask rules, distancing guidelines, and more have changed significantly in Disney World recently. Masks are now no longer required for fully vaccinated guests in most places, and distancing guidelines are being reduced. We’ve seen distancing markers removed in some line queues, pre-shows return to some attractions, and more changes being made. Many attractions are now loading guests in every row just as they used to prior to the pandemic-related closures. We expect that more changes will continue to take place on Disney World’s rides throughout the upcoming days and weeks as the updated mask and distancing guidelines are put in place.
If you’re headed to Disney World soon, there are a few things you need to know about like Park Pass reservations, which restaurants are open, and updates on the latest mask policies.

But, another important thing you’ll want to be aware of is how Disney is handling loading its attractions while keeping social distancing in mind. Will you be sitting with another party on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run? Are there plexiglass barriers on this ride or the other? We’re breaking it ALL down for you today.
Welcome, foolish mortals… .
Haunted Mansion
We’re your ghost hosts, and although we’ve already told you about new Haunted Mansion clothing, a Haunted Mansion pillowcase set, and a Haunted Mansion fan, we just found another AWESOME piece of Haunted Mansion merch that just materialized at Disney World!
Disney World continues to update its rides to better accommodate guests while also maintaining certain health and safety guidelines.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
Since the parks’ reopening, Disney has added plexiglass dividers to many of its attractions to increase the number of guests that can use a ride vehicle at any given time. Most recently, plexiglass was added to Frozen Ever After in EPCOT, but we’ve also seen it on several Hollywood Studios attractions, including Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway and Rise of the Resistance.

We’re CERTAINLY looking forward to the opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in EPCOT.
Remy’s Ratatouille Construction
Due to delays from the global health crisis, the new attraction is now on track to open in 2021. We’ve been keeping a close eye on construction progress in the France Pavilion expansion from above in the Disney Skyliner, and now, we just got ANOTHER sneak peek thanks to the ABC Holiday Special!
