food IS a theme park
It’s springtime in Disney World and we’re getting ready for a season of fun!
EPCOT
Earlier this week, we celebrated the flower season with a trip to EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival. Maybe you’re headed to Disney World in the next few months too, and now we know MORE park hours!

Planning to visit Disney World, Disneyland, or even just your local Disney Store soon? Well, there are some BIG things you should know about!
Hello and Welcome to the Most Magical (and Beautiful) Place on Earth
This week, the International Flower & Garden Festival started in EPCOT, tickets went on sale for a super special Disneyland event, and MORE. Check out the 5 BIG Disney stories from this week that you need to know about.
The theme parks at Disneyland Resort have been closed since last March, and are expected to remain closed throughout this March.
Disneyland Gate
But, many stores and restaurants in Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort have reopened, and a special ticketed event will soon be coming to Disney California Adventure Park. Still, because the county where Disneyland is located is within a specific reopening tier, stores and restaurants have certain capacity and other restrictions. And those restrictions can’t be lessened until the county reaches a lower tier. Soon counties may be able to move into a lower tier easier. This would allow those counties to loosen select restrictions.
Spring break season is quickly approaching.
Cinderella Castle
In spring, we typically see major crowds in Disney World as the parks fill for one of the busiest times of the year. And while wait times are rising and Disney extends park hours as March continues, there’s a good chance we won’t see a major swarm of visitors.
We’re used to seeing lots of our favorite Pixar characters in Disney’s Hollywood Studios…
Buzz Lightyear in the Pixar Pals Motorcade
But we noticed them in a whole new way in the park today, because TONS of Pixar pals can be spotted on the new World of Pixar Loungefly Mini Backpack we spotted in the shops along Hollywood Boulevard! [Read more…]
We HAVE to show you what we saw in Disney’s Hollywood Studios today.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Even though traditional meet and greets are still suspended, we love spotting characters out and about in the parks. We’ve had some great interactions with them during cavalcades, or even if we’re just passing by! But we’ve gotta warn you: we don’t think you’re prepared for what we saw in Hollywood Studios today.
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival started up on Wednesday, and it was pretty busy!
Flower and Garden
Now, that got us wondering. If the first day of an EPCOT festival is such a big draw, what do other parks look like? To answer that question, we’re taking a look at wait times and crowd levels around Disney World yesterday and on other festival kick-offs of the past!
You may have visited Disney World a million times, but have you eaten at all of its award-winning restaurants?
Tiffins Meal
Recently, the Orlando Sentinel released its 2021 Foodie Awards and 10 different locations in Disney World, including Tiffins in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, received some special honors! How many of these spots have you been to? Let’s find out!
After a month of relatively low crowds, short park hours, and plentiful Disney Park Pass Reservation availability, our luck may finally be running out. As spring break season approaches, it looks like Disney World is preparing for larger-than-average crowds.
EPCOT
