food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here to share what’s new at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Pandora
And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you. So, what are we waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
In case you haven’t noticed, it’s finally 2021! We spent all day in Disney World today checking out what this New Year has to offer, including the modified return of Park Hopping!
Mickey Balloons
With the holiday season now officially behind us, we wondered what we would see today in terms of the parks returning to “normal,” so to speak. We’ll miss our beloved gingerbread treats and cheerful music, but all good things must come to an end, we suppose!
Many Disney fans are making their first return trip to Disney World since the pandemic-related closures in 2020. If this describes you, then you are going to find many things changed in Disney World, and one thing that’s important to know for your trip planning is that Park Hopping works differently today!
Welcome to Disney World
When Disney World first re-opened in 2020, Park Hopping was suspended. The option to “hop” between Disney World parks returned in 2021, with a few modifications. We’ve been Park Hopping ever since, and we have the answers to ALL your questions!
Park hopping returns today but it’s pretty different than before the closures.
Park Hopper
Guests visiting Disney World today may have the Park Hopper ticket option that allows them to visit other parks during Park Hopper hours (after 2PM for now). The catch is that these parks CAN hit capacity and if they do, you won’t be allowed inside. Here’s what we know so far about how to check for theme park Park Hopper availability!
Is there any better way to start a New Year than with MICKEY MOUSE and pals?!
2021 SouvenEARS 😉
I sure can’t think of one! Fortunately, there’s a way you can bring the gang along with you wherever you go throughout the year, with the new 2021 Disney World Tote! And if you’re ringing in the year in Disney World, we want to fill you in how you can grab this bag as a Limited Time Bonus Deal! [Read more…]
You might be on vacation during this holiday season, or just trying to squeeze in a few extra naps to catch up on some much-needed rest, but Disney news never takes a break!
Spaceship Earth
Another week has passed at the most magical place on earth, and some BIG updates have been announced or seen in the parks. From the return of Park Hopping to an update on the EPCOT monorail, today we’re taking a look at 5 pieces of Disney news from this week that you might have missed!
We’re HOPPIN’ into the New Year, my friends…because Park Hopping returns to the Walt Disney World theme parks as of today!
Walt Disney World Monorail in EPCOT
Park Hopping is the option to visit more than one of the four Walt Disney World theme parks per day. The program was suspended upon the initial reopening of the Walt Disney World parks in the summer of 2020. But now, guests who have purchased valid park tickets that include Park Hopper benefits can start their day in, say, Magic Kingdom, then HOP to EPCOT (or Hollywood Studios! Or Disney’s Animal Kingdom!) later in the day! [Read more…]
Things are constantly changing at Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
Just this month, we saw some restaurants reopen, other spots get new menu items, and a change in Boarding Group distribution times announced for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. December is almost over, but January will bring some even BIGGER changes at Walt Disney World. If you’re planning a trip to Disney World for January 2021, here are the 5 things that will be different there next month.
We’re saying BYE to 2020 and looking forward to the new year.
Tree of Life
For some, 2021 will bring a trip to Disney World and now we know the park hours a little further out. Previously we knew alllll the hours through March 6th, and now we know another two weeks — March 7th through March 20th.
