Okay, we’ve got one for all you seafood lovers headed to Disney World!
Perfect lobster
We’ve told you a lot about the best Disney World restaurants for picky eaters, the best value quick-service spots, the best restaurants for first-time visitors, and more! But now, we’re going to give you a full run-down of all the BEST seafood locations at Disney World!
As the situation with COVID-19 develops, we’ve seen a number of updates announced.
Face Masks
Recently, the Orange County, Florida mayor recommended that individuals wear masks indoors again, and noted that the county is in “crisis mode” due to the COVID-19 situation there. Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also updated their guidance and are now recommending that vaccinated individuals wear masks in indoor, public locations in certain areas. Now, we’ve got an update regarding Disney World’s mask rules.
Royal greetings from Magic Kingdom!
Time to Visit Magic Kingdom!
Each week (several times a week sometimes) we share a look at all of the new merchandise, construction updates, and other changes that we’ve seen in the parks recently. Today, we’ve got some news for you from Magic Kingdom. As they sing in Disney’s Happily Ever After, 🎶”Ready to begin?”🎶
Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom is a counter-service spot that offers a variety of options including some tasty seafood treats and popular sandwiches!
Truly a Fan-Favorite Spot
This spot truly is a fan favorite, and was even ranked as the second best counter service spot in Magic Kingdom by thousands of our fantastic DFB readers! While guests have been able to grab some Columbia Harbour House favorites at Tomorrowland Terrace for a while, the options were a bit more limited. Well, if you’re a big fan of Columbia Harbour House we’ve got some BIG news for you!!
Over the past several months, many things have changed all throughout Disney World.
Time to Visit Magic Kingdom!
Just in the past few weeks alone, we’ve seen fireworks return to the parks, pre-shows reopen, more hotels and restaurants reopen, and ride queues return to “normal.” So, you might be wondering. What does rope drop look like in the parks right now? Well, we checked out the rope drop situation in Magic Kingdom today and are sharing all the details with you.
Many things have been changing around Disney World lately.
New Cinderella Castle Design
We’ve seen resort rooms get makeovers, the return of fireworks, and many rides go back to normal operations. However, one thing that hasn’t really returned to the parks are the shows. Many are no longer take place or are modified, while others will be returning soon after long closures. The full “Let the Magic Begin” welcome show has not returned to the Magic Kingdom yet. But, each morning, the music is played in Magic Kingdom as guests enter the park. And now, the music of the show has also been altered.
Ever since Disney World reopened, we’ve had a bit of a problem with food in Magic Kingdom.Â
Cinderella Castle
At first, not very many restaurants were open, causing Mobile Order wait times to rise and windows to get backed up. Then, we had issues finding places to eat later in the evening, because several spots closed before the park did. But as more restaurants reopen, it helps to alleviate those problems, and now it looks like one of our favorites could come back soon!
We’re total suckers for a new pair of ears!
Minnie Ears!
We’ve seen some amazing new ears recently like the Riviera Resort Ears, the Studded Rainbow Ears, and more. Now, we’ve spotted a SURPRISE pair that could make the perfect addition to a Disney parks ‘fit.
The Haunted Mansion is a classic Disney ride, so it makes sense that we’ve seen a ton of merch themed to the spooky park staple!
Haunted Mansion in Disney World
From light-up replicas to room decor to bags, Disney’s made almost every souvenir you can think of featuring those happy haunts! And now, your four-legged friends can show their love for the Haunted Mansion as well!
