food IS a theme park
We’re less than ONE MONTH away from the grand opening of Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure!
What’s that blue stuff?
This ALL new land of marvelous Marvel stuff is set to open on June 4th!
Disney’s left a few projects with some loose ends since reopening last year.
Disney Springs
For example: WHEN will Space 220 open in EPCOT? Is Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser still opening in 2021? The list goes on. But good news! Today, we did get an update on one of these projects: Beatrix in Disney Springs.
Lately, with all of our feverish excitement, we’ve been feeling like groupies for the construction barges at Disney World!
Harmonious Barge
It’s without question that EPCOT’s upcoming nighttime spectacular, Harmonious, is one of our most anticipated attractions in Disney World, which is why we get SUPER psyched any time we see new construction afloat. And continuing this pattern of eager fandom, we spotted another construction barge on World Showcase Lagoon today!
Ready to go on a virtual trip around EPCOT?
Spaceship Earth
We’re constantly visiting the Disney World theme parks and more to see what’s new. During our most recent visit to EPCOT we spotted NEW Minnie ears, saw that a spot that JUST opened was CLOSED(!!), and got a look at lots of construction going on around the park. Join us for a virtual trip around this experimental prototype community of tomorrow to see all of the things that are new there!
We have been waiting to eat at Space 220 for a WHILE now.
Mission: SPACE and Upcoming Space 220
This new restaurant coming to EPCOT is set to send guests onto the Centauri Space Station where they’ll enjoy dinner with a view of Earth from SPACE. The restaurant was supposed to open back in 2019, but it has been delayed for a number of reasons. Today we spotted something that might indicate there’s some more progress being made.
Wow! It’s wild to think about but Disney World’s 50th Anniversary is THIS YEAR.
Walt Disney World Gateway
In preparation for the big occasion, Disney has given Cinderella Castle a new look and is working on new attractions and restaurants for the parks. Another area that’s getting some TLC is the Walt Disney World entrance signs around the resort! Today, work on another one of the entrances got underway.
Last year, Disney announced that an M&M’s Store would be coming to Disney Springs.

Um, yay! We’ll hardly ever say no to more candy options. Though the opening was delayed during the park closures, the store is expected to open this year. Now, after receiving a fresh layer of paint, the store got a pretty BIG addition.
Listen, it’s no secret that we tend to listen to our sweet tooth.
M&M’s Store
Well, we’ve been hearing the call of the upcoming M&M’s Store since it was announced last year. Despite a delay in the opening, construction has moved forward. Today, the store has a whole new look!
There’s quite a bit of construction happening in Disney World right now!
Disney World Gateway
And that includes several projects in Magic Kingdom! From the completely drained Rivers of America to construction on the new TRON Lightcycle Run, things are moving right along ahead of the park’s 50th anniversary in 2021.
Gideon’s Bakehouse is getting ready to open its Disney Springs location and WE. CANNOT. WAIT.
Triple Chocolate Cookie from Gideon’s Bakehouse — East End Market Location
We’ve already sampled SO many delicious cookies from their exiting Orlando location, heard about some of the unique items that will be featured in the new store, tried out their hot cookie hour at their East End Market spot, and even got some awesome stories in an exclusive interview with the cookie master himself — Steve Lewis, the owner of Gideon’s Bakehouse. BUT, today we spotted a new development over at Gideon’s Disney Springs location!
