food IS a theme park
We’ve SERIOUSLY missed Casey’s Corner and those delicious corn dog nuggets with plastic cheese!
Casey’s Corner
Right now, Casey’s Corner is still closed, but, when we stopped by Magic Kingdom today, we spotted some changes in the area that could mean this quick service spot is on its way to reopening soon!
No one’s slick as Gaston, no one rides horses like Gaston, no one reopens a restaurant like Gaston!
Gaston in Magic Kingdom
That’s right! A little while ago we spotted some signs that seemed to suggest Gaston’s Tavern in Magic Kingdom would be reopening soon. Then, we got some official confirmation that it would be opening on Friday, September 4th. So, of course, we made our way over there today to check it out!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios experienced a few hiccups yesterday!
Rise of the Resistance
Issues surrounding a HUGE lightning strike that occurred the night before potentially played a role in Rise of the Resistance’s temporary shut down yesterday. But we’re happy to report that all systems appear to be normal again this morning!
Who’s ready to check out some Alex and Ani bracelets, Pandora charms, Loungefly backpacks, and all the latest Dooney & Bourke styles?
Ever After
That’s right — one of our favorite stores at Disney Springs which carries all of these lines has just reopened today — Ever After Jewelry Co. & Accessories! Let’s go check it out!
While Planet Hollywood was one of the first restaurants in Disney Springs to announce they’d be reopening on May 2oth, we were surprised to find the restaurant unexpectedly closed down last week!
Planet Hollywood
But while walking off our Birthday Cake Shake from the newly reopened Vivoli il Gelato in Disney Springs today, we found out Planet Hollywood is open once AGAIN!
Disney Springs and Universal Orlando’s CityWalk reopened a few months ago and brought about several big changes — some of which are taking a little more getting used to than others! 😉
Universal Orlando
Both shopping and dining districts mandated the use of masks for both guests and employees. Making the change to wearing masks in daily life has been a bit of a transition — but add a little Florida heat and walking around all day to the mix and things start to get a little swampy pretty FAST.
We’re LIVE from the Passholder preview at Universal Orlando Resort!
Universal Orlando Resort
We’re taking you with us as we tour all the sights and thrills Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. So far things have looked a little different than we remember — with temperature checks, masks, and other safety protocols in place — but now we’re checking out the RIDES!
It’s been a hot second since we stepped foot inside a theme park!
Universal Studios Resort
Disney World closed back in March and is slated to open next month. But today, we were granted a super sneak-peek into Universal Orlando’s theme parks (which don’t officially open to the public until June 5th)! Wands [and masks] at the ready? Let’s take a look!
Disney World and Disneyland have been closed since March, but attractions over on the east coast have been slowly opening up to guests again.
Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle
Universal Orlando plans to open its theme parks this week and Disney World will follow next month. Earlier today, we learned that Disneyland Resort is now only accepting reservations beginning July 15th. But according to recent reports, Universal Studios Hollywood is already considering opening the theme parks in July.
Morimoto Asia and Morimoto Street Food reopened on May 22nd, and we stopped by to check out their new health and safety measures — as well as sample some of their tasty Bao Buns!
BBQ Pork Bun
And while we’ve also been back to enjoy some Beer Cheese as well as a Rice Bowl and Egg Roll combo, we’ve just learned these two spots will be operating with reduced operating hours starting today!
