food IS a theme park
Last year, the pandemic caused the closure of every Disney park in the world. And some parks are still closed.
Cinderella Castle
Although Disney World reopened last summer, the park is currently operating at limited capacity (which was recently raised from 25 to 35 percent), with new health and safety guidelines that include temperature checks upon entry into the park and a mask requirement for all guests over the age of two.
It has been a BUSY week for Disney merchandise!
Walt Disney World Gateway
We’ve seen a LOT of Valentine’s Day merchandise get dropped a month ahead of the holiday, several runDisney items in the parks, and even MORE Disney Dog and Disney Cat clothing! If you like to do some Disney shopping, you currently have no shortage of choices. Besides these things, a TON of new products arrived online, and we’re sharing all of them with you today!
Some people who visit Walt Disney World eat and stay exclusively on property. But, if you and your family like to also explore some of the surrounding areas in Orlando, you might be familiar with the Crossroads of Lake Buena Vista shopping center near Disney Springs.
Walt Disney World Gateway
This center was home to several businesses including TGI Fridays, Red Lobster, Buffalo Wild Wings, and more. Back in 2019, the State of Florida acquired the complex. Now, a historic MILLION dollar agreement with the state has been finalized, and all stores at the center will soon be closing.

As much as we LOVE new Disney merch, we love not having to pay full price for it EVEN more. I mean, Disney released almost 100 pairs of ears in 2020! That adds up FAST!
Minnie Ears
Luckily, Disney will offer discounts on all of those ears, clothes, plushes, pins, and toys from time to time, and for D23 Gold Members, there’s a great new deal available!
The United States is set to issue new requirements for domestic and international travel.

The White House has announced a new Executive Order on Promoting COVID-19 Safety in Domestic and International Travel that mandates both a required quarantine for international travelers and mask mandates during air travel and more.
Sometimes, Disney’s food get can a bit pricey.
EPCOT
As in, $62 for lunch? Even if the snacks are SO worth it, we sometimes just need a cheaper option. Today, we spotted an inexpensive and massive eat that we had to remind you all about in EPCOT. It’s been around for some time, but it deserves to be in the carb spotlight.
Over the years Pixar has made some incredible movies!

We’ve had Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, the ever-popular Toy Story franchise, and so many more! But if you’ve visited Disney World recently or shopped for Disney merchandise online, then you’ve likely noticed that one particular movie has become very popular all of a sudden — Up. We’ve seen Up-themed items pretty much everywhere we go and we have to ask, why now?
