food IS a theme park
Jambo, everyone (that means hello, if you didn’t know)!
Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom
We go to the Disney World parks every day, and today we’re bringing you latest updates in construction, merchandise, and food from Disney’s wildest theme park — Animal Kingdom!
We’ve seen a LOT of Star Wars news released recently. We got more information about the release of season three of The Mandalorian, a sneak peek at new merchandise coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and even seen new characters roaming around Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland!

If that’s still not enough Star Wars for you, then you need to check out the new Star Wars cars (yes, cars) from Volkswagen!
When it comes to souvenirs for your Disney vacation, all of your choices can be incredibly overwhelming! You can go for the classic Minnie ears, a spirit jersey, a plush, and so much more!
Coffee in the Most Magical Place on Earth
One of the more practical souvenirs would be something that you can use, even when your vacation is over (do Minnie ears fall into this category?), like a coffee mug! Disney has tons of options when it comes to mugs, and we recently spotted some mugs perfect for lovers of Starbucks AND Star Wars in Disneyland.
It certainly seems like there’s never a shortage of news when it comes to Disney World!
There’s almost always something going on in Disney World!
May brought us so much news and information about the parks! We got to ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT, saw the release of the Disney Pride Collection (with 100% of profits donated), and saw some exciting (and not so exciting) food updates! These are the most important things we learned in Disney World in the month of May!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind has officially opened in EPCOT!
It’s officially open!
Disney shared several weeks ago that Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will (at least for now) will not offer a standby line, and will instead require guests to obtain a boarding group via a virtual queue in order to ride. In addition to a virtual queue, Cosmic Rewind will also be available as an Individual Lightning Lane selection (or pay-per-ride selection) via Disney Genie.
EPCOT is going through a pretty major transformation at the moment!
EPCOT is changing A LOT!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is now open along with the Connections Cafe and Eatery, with much more still on the way! We recently got a lot of updates about the EPCOT transformation like CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza, Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana, and a new character meet-and-greet spot! As the park changes, the guide map needs to change, as well, and today we picked up a new version of the map that includes the latest park additions!
It’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind opening day!
It’s opening day!
We’re on the ground in EPCOT to bring you all of the Cosmic Rewind news, from the crowd levels, to information about the Lighting Lane situation, and even an updated look at the merchandise! But would we really be DFB if we didn’t mention the food, too? We spotted a new drink at Joffrey’s in World Discovery that is themed to the new rollercoaster!
Happy Obi-Wan Kenobi release day! The new Star Wars show premiered today with not one, but two new episodes with the third coming next Wednesday, June 1st!

It’s also the second day of the Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, and we’ve already seen so much news! We got an update on when we can expect Season 3 of The Mandalorian, we got more information about a new Star Wars show coming to Disney+ called Skeleton Crew, and perhaps most exciting of all, we found out that we’ll be getting FLUFFY EWOK EARS! Disney Springs is getting in on the Obi-Wan Kenobi excitement with two new treats that will be available for the duration of the show.
It’s a big day for Star Wars fans!
‘Star Wars’ Celebration
Not only are the first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi available on Disney+, we got tons of new Star Wars updates yesterday thanks to the Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim. We now have more details about season three of The Mandalorian, information about a new Star Wars show on Disney+, Skeleton Crew, and we learned more about the not Star Wars-related Willow show coming to Disney+ too! And if that wasn’t enough, we just got a sneak peek at some new Star Wars ears that will be available soon!
After months of waiting, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is finally open in Disney World!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
We’ve already ridden the ride and have seen the queue, heard the songs you could get while on board, learned about the villain, and seen ALL of the merchandise that will be available! We also shared that a standby line will not be available for this ride for the time being, and instead a virtual queue will be used. Guests will also have the option to purchase an Individual Lightning Lane reservation (or pay-per-ride) the morning they wish to ride, and now we have more details on how much that will cost!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
