food IS a theme park
WOW, we have a lot to discuss in Disney World! From health and safety updates to new character cavalcades, there is almost always something new to check out in the parks. Today, though, we’re focusing on just one park: the iconic, the timeless, the innovative…EPCOT!
Greetings from EPCOT!
We’re taking a quick trip around EPCOT to see what’s new — come with us!
What if we told you that a super popular new Disney collection is coming soon to the parks?
It’s almost here!
Stoney Clover Lane has collaborated with Disney in the past to make bags and other items themed to the Disney Princesses, and now, they’ve created a whole new collection themed to Mickey and Friends! The collection was released on Stoney Clover’s website last weekend and will be on shopDisney tomorrow (February 18th), but we didn’t know when it would be available in Disney World…until NOW!
What’s better than a Mickey balloon? A Mickey ballon-shaped thing!
Balloons on Main Street, U.S.A.
Whether it’s a Mickey balloon popcorn bucket, a Loungefly backpack, or a pair of Mickey ears…we love a new Mickey balloon souvenir! Well, we just found a NEW Mickey balloon item in Disney World…and you can even drink out of it!
All aboard! Who’s ready to set sail on the Disney Wish?

Although the ship’s first sailings have been delayed, we’re still really excited about everything the Wish will offer. This will certainly be a Disney cruise experience unlike any other, especially when it comes to entertainment. Not only will guests get to have experiences in both the Marvel and Star Wars universes, but they’ll also get to experience Disney Cruise Line’s first attraction at sea, plus so much more. Now, we have even more details about entertainment on the Wish!
Disney is starting on a MASSIVE construction project very soon!
Hey, Mickey!
Mickey’s Toontown used to be a destination in both Disney World and Disneyland, but now it can only be found in Disneyland. This area has attractions like Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin, Mickey’s House, and Gadget’s Go Coaster. Disney announced last year that this area would be getting some major updates, and now we know WHEN those updates will take place! [Read more…]
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (AKA the Star Wars hotel) is opening up on March 1st in Disney World, and while we’re excited, we still have a lot of questions!

Who are ALL of the characters we’ll meet? How will the fireworks show work? How “in-character” will the Cast Members be? These are all questions we’ll be trying to find answers to once the hotel opens. Another question we have is about the food. We’ve already seen what some of the food is going to look like on the Starcruiser, but what happens if you have special dietary needs or food allergies? Well, we’re here to tell you!
Take a breath. Imagine for a second that the computer, phone, etc. in front of you has disappeared. You find yourself on Main Street, U.S.A.. Around you, you can hear the sound of guests talking and laughing. In the distance, you hear some of the background music for this beautiful spot. And then it hits you — the distinct and gorgeous voices of the Dapper Dans reach your ears and your heart and your soul are filled with joy. LIVE MUSIC folks. Sometimes there’s just nothing better than live music.
The Dapper Dans — Seriously, the BEST
Although Disney World has ALL kinds of entertainment to enjoy at the resorts, in the parks, and at Disney Springs, sometimes all you really want is to just listen to some great live music. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, a night out, want to hit the town in Disney style, or are just a lover of music and want to fill your day with those glorious sounds, we’ve put together a list of EVERYWHERE you can see live music at Disney World. So let’s get ready to jam out! 🎵
Alright guys, remain calm, but we found…A NEW PAIR OF MINNIE EARS!
There are so many ears to choose from!
We know that not all of you are freaking out the same way that we are right now, but for those of you who are just as excited as us, we’re about to give you a really great reason to rush over to Disney World today. It doesn’t matter how many pairs of ears you’ve already got, there’s always room for more! Right?!
The travel industry has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, but things are starting to improve in some places.
The crowds have certainly returned to Disney World!
Due to the pandemic, we’ve seen limits on crowds and capacity due to social distancing requirements and travel restrictions. But, recently many of those limits and restrictions have been removed. We’ve previously shared a look at how Florida tourism was slowly improving. But just what are the numbers looking like now? How many have been traveling to the state? Here’s what we’re seeing.
If you’re heading to Disney World soon and haven’t bought your ticket yet, there’s some important price information you need to know about.
EPCOT
Price increases have impacted a number of things around Disney World including HUNDREDS of food items, merchandise items, and more. Now, it looks like price increases are impacting some park tickets too.
