You must be well-prepared for your trip to Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
Being prepared means having tickets, getting the dining reservations you want, paying for travel, and more. But it also means having essentials with you like sunscreen, lotion, and other items that will make your trip more enjoyable. Luckily, since we go to Disney World every day we know just want to pack. And now, a bunch of those items are on sale at Target this week!
Do you enjoy visiting the Disney World parks after hours?
Tree of Life after dark
Special Disney events occasionally take place after the parks have closed, which are excellent opportunities to take advantage of shorter lines and lower crowds. Sometimes, there are even complimentary treats and drinks! We are big fans of attending these after hours events, if you are able. And now, a very popular one is returning soon, and it’s almost time to get registered.
Disney is planning to add a new attraction to Magic Kingdom.
Storybook Circus
No, we’re not talking about the expansion that’s coming to Magic Kingdom, unfortunately. We’re talking about the new attraction coming to Storybook Circus — Smellephants on Parade. This new attraction will be sponsored by Scentsy, the wax melts and signature smells company. You’ll smell your way around Storybook Circus. No, we’re not kidding. When we were recently visiting Big Top Souvenirs, we noticed a change that might be an indication of some upcoming construction!
About four years later, the time has finally come for 1900 Park Fare to reopen!
1900 Park Fare
This character buffet located at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort closed in 2020 due to the pandemic and did not reopen with the rest of Disney World. Now, as of April 10th, it is finally open again. We’re celebrating the return of this charming restaurant and its famous strawberry soup. Come along with us as we find out which characters you get to dine with now that 1900 Park Fare is officially open!
Disneyland’s Downtown Disney is in the process of a transformation of its own.
Downtown Disney entrance
Downtown Disney is Disneyland’s shopping and dining district like Disney Springs is in Disney World. However, it’s getting a bit of a makeover. Some locations, including restaurants, have been closing to make room for new ones to appear. A new market with several new dining locations will be opening, and a world-renowned restaurant from Taiwan will be available. Now, Disney has given us a clue about when this new restaurant will be opening!
WE HAVE MORE TIANA NEWS!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Disney World
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom is opening this SUMMER. And we’re almost there! We’re so close to getting to ride the new ride, and Disney keeps dropping more and more hints about what we can expect when we do. They’re really good at getting us excited for new attractions, that’s for sure. Recently, we’ve gotten sneak peeks at the animatronics that will be on the ride as well as some new critter characters who will be playing us some music. Well, now, Disney has dropped a look at a few MORE critters coming to the ride!
On April 10th, 1900 Park Fare officially reopened its doors!
Let’s go to 1900 Park Fare!
This restaurant has been closed for nearly 4 years, since the pandemic in 2020. It is a character buffet, which means you get to visit with your favorite Disney pals while eating delicious food. The restaurant serves both breakfast and dinner at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. It’s no secret that we love Disney food, so of course, we headed over to 1900 Park Fare for breakfast on its opening day! Let’s see what’s changed and what is still the same about this beloved dining location.
If you’re not able to visit Disney World every day but need all the Disney souvenirs, we suggest checking out Target!
Target
Target is literally our go-to for nearly everything (well, besides Amazon, of course). The superstore has so many great Disney toys, keepsakes, decor, and park essentials. We’re loving it even extra this week because this week is Target Circle Week! We’ve taken a peek through all the deals for today, April 8th, and we noticed some awesome prices on Disney LEGO sets — let’s check them out.
We’ve all been getting ready for this very random day in April.
It’s Sonny Eclipse!
We heard something about an eclipse, so we dashed over to Magic Kingdom to say hi to our pal Sonny Eclipse! We shortly realized that was probably not what the fuss has been about these past few days. Instead, there’s a much more exciting solar event happening today (sorry, Sonny) — here’s what you need to know if you’ll be in the parks during it.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
