It may be hard to believe, but Valentine’s Day is RIGHT around the corner! We certainly love this particular holiday, thanks in part to all the delicious treats that arrive in Disney Parks this time of year!

Disney just released their annual Valentine’s Day Foodie Guide, and this year includes special dinners and desserts around the globe! Let’s take a look at all the delicious limited-time dishes you can find at the parks this year!
We’re almost a year out from when Disney first closed the theme parks in March of 2020, and there are still a lot of health measures in place.

During your Disney day, you’ll see mask mandates, temperature checks, and social distancing. Now, Disney has added a new update to their existing social distancing policy that specifically speaks to larger groups.
Things are constantly changing at Disney World.

In 2020 alone we saw TONS of changes (like the temporary suspension of fireworks and the suspension of the Disney Dining Plan) and — oh yeah — the parks CLOSED for the longest time in history! All of these majorly changed how you plan your Disney vacation. BUT, Disney has made many major changes like this over the years that dramatically impacted how trips are planned. Today, we’re taking a trip back in time to go through some of those BIG changes. Plus, we’ll make a quick trip to the future to see some changes that are on the horizon!
Pandora — The World of AVATAR in Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a unique place of beauty any time of day.
Pandora — The World of AVATAR
If you’ve ever had the chance to experience the land after the sun sets, it’s especially stunning. But no matter when you visit, you’ll notice a certain glow all around you stemming (umm… no pun intended) from the bioluminescent flora of Pandora and reflected on the ground you’re walking on in the Valley of Mo’ara.

Now, if you’ve been following along with us you’re probably pretty familiar with some of the things we recommend. While it can be really helpful to know all the spots you should visit and everything you should do to enjoy your vacation, you should also know the things you shouldn’t do.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is known for some awesome rides like Expedition Everest or Dinosaur.
Tree of Life
But many guests often overlook the animal trails at the park! Animal Kingdom has several trails that give you a closer look at many animals, and one of these trails in currently under construction.
Throughout 2020 and even some of 2021, a lot of Disney news was about park closures, and updates on restaurants and resorts that have remained closed or have delayed their re-openings.
France Pavilion Expansion
But, this week, the Disney news was a bit different. Instead of looking at the past or things that are closed, we got TONS of sneak peeks and info about things that will be OPENING in the future. Want to see the rooms at the Star Wars hotel? How about a look at Tom Holland’s role in the upcoming Avengers Campus? Or a walk inside the new Ratatouille area? We’ve got all that and more!
Jambo from Harambe Market!
Harambe Market
This spot in Animal Kingdom’s Africa reopened in November for guests visiting this beautiful park on the weekends. But while hours remain somewhat limited, Harambe Market is currently open every day of the week except for Tuesdays and Wednesdays. So we thought we’d stop by during our Friday visit to grab a bite that we haven’t previously tried. [Read more…]
When Disney World reopened in 2020, several things remained closed or unavailable, including LOTS of live entertainment shows.
Festival of the Lion King theater
Slowly, some things have come back, including the Frozen Sing-Along show in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. When the massive entertainment layoffs were announced, however, we thought it might be a while before we saw some of our other favorite shows return. But now we’ve got some HUGE NEWS! The Festival of the Lion King show will be returning to Disney’s Animal Kingdom soon!
