food IS a theme park

Set to open in 2023, this largest-ever port will have THREE new areas, each dedicated to a fan-favorite film: Frozen, Tangled, and Peter Pan!
Sure, it’s always nice to see Disney merchandise featuring Mickey Mouse, but that guy is kind of on EVERYTHING!
Mickey Tee
But we love it when we see merchandise around the parks that features more obscure characters, like this bag that features Rajah, Scuttle, Meeko, Flounder, and Lumiere!
It’s been over one year, but today, tickets for the reopening of Disneyland and Disney California Adventure went on sale!
Disneyland
As we probably should have expected, demand for these tickets is HIGH, leading to long wait times in a virtual queue. Earlier today, we even wondered: WHO is getting through on Disneyland’s website?!
ICYMI, Disney is redoing Jungle Cruise at Walt Disney World and Disneyland, and giving this iconic, pun-filled boat ride a BRAND NEW storyline with new characters and scenes to replace some culturally insensitive depictions.
Jungle Cruise
There’s an interesting part of this reimagining, however. Jungle Cruise at Magic Kingdom is going to STAY OPEN, so we’ve gotten some insight on how this ride is being altered! So far, we’ve seen some BIG changes (goodbye, Trader Sam!) and some more subtle changes.
If you can’t start your day at Walt Disney World, well, that’s a sad day. But, of course, you can make it a little bit better by starting your day by drinking your coffee or tea from a Disney mug!
Tangled Mug
We see a LOT of Disney mugs at Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and shopDisney, from this TOTALLY cute 101 Dalmatians mug to a Disney princess sketch mug! And mug collectors, if you’ve been holding out on expanding your collection, well, we have some bad news…SEVEN Disney mugs are now for sale online!
EPCOT is going under some HUGE transformations right now, including a complete overhaul of Future World!
Spaceship Earth
We recently learned that Creations Shop is going to be EPCOT’s flagship store in the newly-dubbed World Celebration and that Club Cool is coming BACK to EPCOT!
There are TWO big openings happening at Disneyland Resort later this year. First, of course, the parks are going to REOPEN to California residents after a yearlong closure on April 30th!
WOW! Look at Avengers Campus! ©Disney
And, recently we learned that Disney California Adventure Park’s BRAND NEW land, Avengers Campus will open SOON after!
When you’re going to Disney World, especially in this era of social distancing and capacity restrictions, some lines are to be expected. You’re likely going to wait in a line for the buses, you’re likely going to wait in (sometimes long and confusing) lines for stores, restaurants, and attractions, and you may even wait in line for the pool!
Be Sure to Look For These “Line Begins Here” Signs!
But there’s one line you may NOT be thinking about or planning for, and if you stay at certain resorts, not planning for this line could MAKE or BREAK your day!
We got a TON of new information about Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure today — including an opening date!
THE QUINJET!
While we are excited for all that Avengers Campus has to offer, it seems that a character is getting a new look. Iron Man will have a BRAND NEW costume!
Disney has been known to rotate its cocktails every now and then, and we’re not just talking about seasonal sips like the new (refreshing!) Earth Month cocktail at NoMad Lounge!
Mother Earth Cocktail
They’ll also bring back old favorites from time to time, and today we spotted a welcome friend at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
