food IS a theme park
Two of Disney World’s theme parks have already reopened to the general public while the remaining two are set to open tomorrow.
EPCOT
All guests who visit must have valid theme park admission and a reservation to visit Disney World during its reopening phase. And availability for Annual Passholders has been pretty slim. Now, Disney has shared that they will be increasing availability for Annual Passholders.Â
We’re always on the lookout for Walt Disney World souvenirs that capture the charm of the characters and the parks. It’s fun to bring a piece of the magic home with you, right?
Emporium’s Check-Out
We found a fabulous collection of keychains that are almost too cute for words at one of Walt Disney World’s best-known shops.
Last week when World of Disney in Downtown Disney District reopened for the first time since the temporary closures, we got a sneak peek of the new Disneyland Park 65th-anniversary collection!
65th Anniversary Merch
And while the new MerchPass system went live today on shopDisney, shoppers are also queueing up in a MASSIVE virtual line for their chance to buy some of the 65 Years of MAGIC goodies.
We’ve been checking out all the sights at EPCOT this week and there is so much to take in! Not only is it amazing to try in all amazing food and beverage at the 2020 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, but it’s also just so good to take a leisurely stroll around the park to see what’s new after the park’s extended closure.
L’Espirit de la Provence
And, during our time in World Showcase, we noticed something unusual. In fact, SOMETHING IS MISSING IN FRANCE!
The Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival has already begun and we got to preview many of the food booths at a Cast Member soft-opening yesterday.
The Citrus Blossom
And while some food booths are still serving EPCOT’s Flower and Garden offerings on their menus such as France, The Citrus Blossom has also brought back lots of Flower and Garden favs.
Walt Disney World monorails are getting makeovers and we’ve been catchin’ the trains to get a good look at them!
Monorail
We spotted a sleek and futuristic Monorail Silver that looks like something straight outta the future. Then Monorail Green stole our hearts with a vibrant splash of color and new seats! It’s Monorail Peaches’ turn to get some love! [Read more…]
Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom is officially open to the public and we’re back with more new updates!
Tree of Life
There have been some changes to the way attractions and park entry is handled. Other than, that Animal Kingdom is just as WILD as we left it in March. We found a few new souvenirs while perusing the shops and discovered some interesting dining updates! [Read more…]
Grab your eating pants, we’re munching our way around World Showcase!
Japan
We’ve been checking out all of the booths at the modified 2020 Taste of EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. Of course, we’ve tried ALL KINDS of amazing festival eats, but now we’re going to stop into one of our FAVORITE booths every year! Let’s review the delish menu at the Japan marketplace!
Disney has been getting creative with the way they are handling online shopping these days!
Disneyland 65th Anniversary Merchandise
Disney created an online shopping event for guests who wish to purchase the new Disneyland Resort 65th Anniversary merchandise. Shoppers can now purchase the merch online and either head to Downtown Disney for a pick-up or have it sent to their home. Either way, if you choose to shop online, you’ll likely have to “stand” in a virtual line to get it.
The Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival rather surprisingly soft-opened during the Cast Member preview on Monday before the celebration officially begins on July 15th!
a Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
So far, we’ve taken you along with us to explore the brand new Mac and Cheese food booth as well as a few of our favorite returning marketplaces! But now it’s time to check out one of the additional locations that’s been known to get in on the Food and Wine festivities, too.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
