Valentine’s Day and Mardi Gras are over, so that means it’s time for the next holiday in Disney World!
Shamrock Shake!!
That’s right, we’re talking about St. Patrick’s Day! So far, we’ve seen special drinks at Starbucks in Disney Springs, one of our favorite seasonal burgers has returned, and we grabbed a Shamrock Shake in Disney World, but we have yet to see many green treats in Disney World.
Disney World reopened to the public following its temporary closures on July 11th, 2020. A lot has changed since then, and that has meant learning how to adjust to many of the new protocol and health guidelines implemented over the past several months.

And now we’ve discovered an easy and convenient way for you to get your chicken fix!
We’ve seen Disney World change a ton in the last year. The global health crisis turned the world on its head and made Disney rethink the entire theme park experience.

Extensive health and safety regulations were introduced which affected everything from dining to character interactions. The changes were implemented with limited capacity and physical distancing in mind. Disney has been subtly updating these changes over the last few months but there are still a few glitches that many guests have encountered. We’ve compiled a list of things that Disney World should change and how you can navigate the experiences for the time being.
Sometimes when we travel to Disney World, we get caught up in routines from previous visits. Let’s face it — we all have a certain way we like to do things when we visit Disney World.
