food IS a theme park
Good news if you’ll be in Disney World this weekend!
Who else is ready to walk right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A.?
Park hours in Magic Kingdom and EPCOT have been extended! We just saw Park Passes get refilled, and now hours are getting a little adjustment, too.
In case you missed the pics, Walt Disney World has been BUSY lately.
Tomorrowland Crowds
The 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is officially OVER, and you know what that means — the 2021 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is right around the corner!
Eeyore, Piglet, and Tigger TOO!
In fact, Flower and Garden kicks off in just eight days on March 3rd!
One of the biggest post-closure changes visible to guests when they travel to Disney World these days are the plexiglass dividers on rides. Over time, some rides have these barriers installed, like on Rise of the Resistance and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, to increase the ride’s capacity. Other rides, particularly fast-moving ones, originally opted instead to load every other row to allow for physical distancing.

In recent months, however, we noticed Disney shifting protocol to loading every single row, like what we saw change on Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster and Slinky Dog Dash.
Wow… it’s been a minute since we have seen much of a change in the offerings at EPCOT’s Refreshment Outpost.
Refreshment Outpost
Oh, sure, the spot serves up fun seasonal selections to go along with the current EPCOT Festival. But the regular eats here?

We spotted a discount in EPCOT today!
China Pavilion
Since the International Festival of the Arts ended yesterday, we took a trip to the park today to check out some unique merchandise and try some snacks. And while we were in the China Pavilion’s House of Good Fortune buying wasabi chips, we noticed a discount on our receipt!
The Taste of EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival will be starting in just a few days and the park is already getting ready!
Spaceship Earth
Some topiaries are already up in the park and the Festival’s new prehistoric garden is already available for everyone to see. Today, while we were at EPCOT we also spotted a NEW park map themed to the upcoming festival!
EPCOT’s seen lots of construction lately.
EPCOT
While reinstallation of the Leave a Legacy panels just finished, there’s still walls up around projects like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and more. But today, we noticed some progress. EPCOT’s park icon was lookin’ just a little different!
It’s almost time to sing “Happy Birthday” to Disney World!
Happy (Almost) Birthday Disney World!
Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary falls on on October 1st, 2021. But, you better start warming up those vocal cords now because, based on what Disney announced, we’ll still be singing Happy Birthday to WDW in 2023?!
Welcome back to EPCOT!
