food IS a theme park
GET READY FOLKS. If you love Zootopia or just love new Disney rides and lands, we’ve got some exciting news!
Zootopia Land
A Zootopia-themed land has been in the works for a while over at Shanghai Disney Resort. We’ve seen a glimpse of the state-of-the-art technology and animatronics coming to this spot in the past, and Disney has indicated that the land will open in late 2023. But now we’ve got some MAJOR NEWS!
All that shimmers isn’t gold, right? In this case, it’s platinum. Disney100 collectibles are popping up everywhere in the Disney parks and online, and we just discovered a few more we NEED to add to our collections.

Getting to see all of the Disney castles around the world in places like Disneyland Paris, Shanghai Disney Resort, and Hong Kong Disneyland might seem like a dream to most of us. Although we might not have a trip planned there yet, it doesn’t mean seeing their gorgeous castles is too far out of reach!
We’ve been to a LOT of new Disney restaurants over the years.

The opening of a new dining spot is one of the most exciting things for a Disney fan! Brand new theming and ambiance AND new eats?! It can really be a dream come true. We’ve seen quite a few restaurants that have opened recently and MORE announced for the future, but right now we’ve GOT to talk about a new restaurant that you might want to visit ASAP (though getting there could be a little complicated).
As we all know, Turning Red was a huge hit, inspiring better relationships between mothers and daughters, inspiring immigrant families to embrace their culture, and inspiring children to … become obsessed with a giant red panda.
Meis Galore…
It’s hard not to fall in love with Mei, the adorable preteen in Turning Red who sometimes transforms into an equally adorable giant red panda.

While Disney World and Disneyland have dropped COVID-19 restrictions, other Disney Parks around the world are still being affected by COVID-19.

Shanghai Disney Resort has undergone multiple closures throughout the last few months due to COVID-19, with only select areas of the resort undergoing a phased reopening. Now we have more news about Shanghai Disneyland!

COVID-19 shut down every Disney resort in 2020 and while some parks like Disney World were able to open months later, some Disney resorts have closed several times. Shanghai Disney is one resort that has closed several times due to COVID-19 and the latest closure happened on October 31st, 2022. Now, Shanghai Disney has announced the beginning of another reopening.
Various Disney parks have closed (and later reopened) over the past 2 years due to COVID-19, and now the pandemic is affecting one Disney park again.

Shanghai Disney Resort has closed a few different times in the past few years due to COVID-19, but had most recently reopened on June 30th, 2022 after a closure that began in March of 2022. In late October, however, we saw that Shanghai Disney Resort was reducing some of its offerings in response to COVID-19. And now things have changed again.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect Disney Parks around the world.

We’ve seen Disneyland Paris close and later reopen, and Hong Kong Disneyland went through a similar closing and reopening process. Back in March, Shanghai Disney Resort closed due to COVID-19, and now we have an update.
