food IS a theme park
Disney’s Hollywood Studios will reopen on July 15th.

We’re most excited about the return of dining and we’ve got an eye on a few of our favorites. Last week, Disney announced the restaurants that will be reopening with the theme parks on July 11th and 15th. We noticed that most of our favorite Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge dining spots would be opening. Now, though, one has been removed from the list.
The new Disney Park Pass System — which is an online tool that allows guests to make a required reservation to visit one of the four Walt Disney World theme parks when they start to reopen in July — made its debut earlier this week.

Currently, the system has rolled out to guests with Walt Disney World Resort hotel reservations (who also have valid theme park admission) before it opens to Walt Disney World Annual Passholders on June 26th and existing ticket holders on June 28th. [Read more…]
As we’ve previously seen before select Disney Springs dining locations and Disney World resort restaurants reopened, sweeping menu cuts are now occurring at several theme park restaurants.
Tony’s Town Square Restaurant
Just recently, Disney has shared with us which Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom restaurants will be reopening on July 11th as well as which dining locations will be available when Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot resume on July 15th. Disney is offering limited menus at many of the resorts and Disney Springs restaurants for the time being. And, now it looks like the parks are following suit.
Get your snazzy clothes ready because Dapper Day is returning to Disney World this fall!
Dapper Dans
Anyone is welcome to join in on Dapper Day! These events celebrate sophisticated clothing and timeless style and many participants opt to rock mid-century inspired ensembles in the parks. And while the most recent Disneyland Dapper Day (originally scheduled for this weekend) has been canceled, the event will be returning to Disney World later this year!
It’s been quite the day so far with exciting news coming out of Disney World. For those itching to get back to Galaxy’s Edge when Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopens in Disney World on July 15, they may be happy to know that many of the major attractions and shops will be open.
Lieutenant Beck on Rise of the Resistance
And yep — the reopening list includes the fan favorite Rise of the Resistance! This attraction has been the must-ride choice since it opened in December of 2019.
But we’re also getting word of another MAJOR development that will change the way we’ve come to experience “getting in line” for this ride!
Disney World is opening its gates next month — July 11th will see the return of Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom, and July 15th will welcome back Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot.
We’ve recently reported all the updates about the Disney Park Pass Reservation System, which will allow guests to make theme park reservations for their days in the parks.

Disney has just released a BUNCH of details regarding the new required theme park reservation system for guests visiting Walt Disney World when the Resort reopens, including its official NAME!
Walt Disney World’s Epcot
We now know it’s officially called the Disney Park Pass System — and it will be going live in just a few days! But while we’re relieved to finally know WHEN and HOW we’ll be able to book our Disney World theme park visits again (with more information coming soon!), we were bummed to learn that guests will only be allowed to visit one park per day upon the reopening of the theme parks, according to information which Disney has just released.

There is a lot to keep track of when it comes to the latest info for Walt Disney World Annual Passholders right now.
