food IS a theme park
As the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic has developed, we’ve seen a number of things in different states start to open up again.

Over in California, Disneyland’s theme parks have reopened. Not too long ago, we also shared a look at when Broadway could reopen in New York City. Now we’ve got a big update on when Broadway will open up once again and when you can start to buy tickets!
We’ve been following California’s gradual reopening closely.
California Beach
Disneyland reopened last week, and as vaccinations continue throughout the state, other restrictions are being lifted. In early April, California made big changes to the guidelines that dictate these restrictions. And now, we’re seeing the new guidelines in action.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, policy changes continue to be made.
Flying to Orlando
Recently, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed an executive order suspending all local COVID-19 restrictions. In practice, this affects enforceability of local COID-19 regulations, like the Orange County mask mandate. Disney World has already responded to that order, and now, the Orlando International Airport has done the same.
There has been some exciting news about Disney Cruise Line recently!

Disney recently revealed tons of details about the Disney Wish including the first ever attraction at sea, a Frozen-themed restaurant, a Star Wars lounge, a Marvel dining experience, a sneak peek at the rooms, and so much more.
Mask mandates and health and safety policies are changing all of the time.

If it sometimes feels like it’s hard to stay on top of all the developments, you’re not alone! The latest mask update comes from the Florida Health Secretary and Surgeon General, which suggests that full vaccinated Floridians can go in public without a mask.
As the situation with the pandemic develops, we’ve seen a number of policies announced and changes made.
Flying to Orlando
Recently, we’ve heard about some updates regarding vaccine passports in Florida, and social distancing and mask requirements in Orange County, Florida. Now we’ve got an important update about mask requirements in airports, on commercial aircraft, and more.
Lots of things have changed recently at Disney World. Some hotels are set to reopen soon, maskless photos can be taken outdoors, and we’ve even seen changes made when it comes to self-serve drink stations.

But, when it comes to food, there’s still quite a bit that is different from how things were prior to the park closures. Some fan-favorite restaurants are still closed and quite a lot of food hasn’t returned to the parks and hotels. So, today we’re going down our list and sharing some of those food items that are still missing from Disney World so you can plan ahead for your next trip (and not be SEVERELY disappointed when you find that *spoiler alert* beignets are not available from Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter 😭).
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…Disney announced that it would be building a Star Wars hotel experience called Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser!

The “Star Wars hotel” is more of a cruise-type experience where guests will stay aboard a “spaceship” for 2 nights and participate in all kinds of activities including lightsaber training, operating the ship’s defense systems, meeting Star Wars characters, and more. Reservations were set to open in 2020 (but they didn’t) and the hotel experience is set to open in 2021. But, if Disney does open the Star Wars hotel this year, a few things could go wrong. Today, we’re breaking that all down for you.
As the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop, we’ve seen a number of changes and specific policies announced.
A Look at the Florida Palm Trees
We’ve especially seen quite a lot of discussion on the topic of vaccine passports. The Florida governor has made statements about vaccine passports and passed an executive order on the topic as well. But now another part of the Florida government has taken action regarding vaccine passports.
Recently, we’ve seen some big changes made regarding distancing and masks in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Physical Distancing Signs
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently issued updated guidance regarding what activities fully vaccinated individuals can do outdoors without a mask. And earlier today, Mayor Demings of Orange County, Florida (where part of Disney World is located) relaxed some distancing rules in the county and announced some mask policy changes coming in the future. Mayor Demings also specifically spoke about theme parks and what changes might happen there.
