food IS a theme park
From Star Wars hotels to Ratatouille rides, there are a LOT of new things to be excited about at Disney World these days!
TRON Coaster at Magic Kingdom
When it comes to attractions we CAN’T wait for, we’ve been eagerly following the construction progress of a particular thrill ride at Magic Kingdom, and thanks to the latest construction update, that anticipation is only growing!
The shopDisney discounts and deals just KEEP ON COMING!
Frozen ornaments
We already reminded you about a 20% off discount code, but now we’ve got another great offer to share with you, too!
Slowly but surely, as more Disney World restaurants reopen, we’re welcoming our favorite Disney comfort foods back into our lives!
Harambe Market
And since we’ve been craving ribs like WHOA, the latest comeback at Animal Kingdom has us doing our best Lion King impression and roaring with excitement!
We’ve been doing a bit of a construction round-up as we’ve looked at EPCOT’s Harmonious, the possible “La Gelateria” in the Italy Pavilion, and the expansion of the France Pavilion.
Millennium Falcon
Buuut, we’re hopping over to a galaxy far, far away to take a look at everything happening over at the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser near Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
We LOVE a good discount on Disney merch, and we bet you do, too!
Disney Holiday Merch at Mouse Gear
So here’s a reminder: you have ONE DAY LEFT to grab a great deal on Disney merch online!
Jambo from Animal Kingdom, everyone! Every time we are in the parks, we have been spending our time eating Simba pretzels and exploring the unique decorations around each area.
Tree of Life
But, we’re putting Christmas and snacks on halt today because it’s time to cuddle some animals! Affection Section has been closed since Disney’s Animal Kingdom re-opened, but the petting zoo has now opened to guests again with additional health and safety measures. And, we’re taking you with us to check out the new protocols and to see some sweet goats, sheep, and more!
We have to say it: We miss Disney fireworks more than anything right now. Although nighttime spectaculars are on pause right now, EPCOT has still been moving forward with the construction on Harmonious!

Although the show was originally supposed to open in spring of this year, progress was delayed when the parks first closed. Now, EPCOT has put barges in place as permits state that more materials are being gathered and fireworks will be tested throughout the end of 2021.
EPCOT has been busy all weekend long with guests heading to the parks for Christmas entertainment (and probably to melt over the two new Karamell-Küche cookies and returning Frozen 2 Sipper).

Although the park is a HOT spot for construction right now, we’re narrowing our focus over to the Italy Pavilion! After construction walls popped up in the area, we’ve seen permits filed by the Pantina Restaurant Group for the “La Gelateria” Gelato Cart. Last year, we got a hint of what was to come with the announcement that the cart would have 12 different varieties of gelato and sorbet, including gluten-friendly and plant-based flavors.
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Saratoga Springs and Contemporary Resorts.
And, we’ve got plenty of entertainment, merchandise, construction, and food updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
Happy Holidays from Magic Kingdom!
