food IS a theme park
Magic Kingdom hit some rough patches this past week.
Cinderella Castle
While a lot of new merchandise hit the park over the past couple of days, there were also some issues, like missing food offerings, canceled entertainment, and an early closing. So let’s dive deeper into what’s going on at the Magic Kingdom!
As summer closes in, we’re preparing ourselves (and our tastebuds) for new snacks and treats in Disney World!
Cookie Waffle Sundae
We’ve recently tried a Pepperoni Pizza Egg Roll in EPCOT, a Berries and Cream Churro (HA now the song’s stuck in your head), and a Gideon’s Bakehouse dupe in Disneyland! Today, we’re heading over to Disney Springs to try an ice cream sundae!
Bibbidi! Bobbidi! BOO! The return of this magical experience that transforms little boys and girls into dashing heroes and charming princesses has finally been announced!
Bibbidi Bobbodi Boutique in Magic Kingdom
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is Disney’s own boutique for guests ages 3 to 12 years old. “Magical Makeovers” are provided by Fairy Godmothers-in-Training who turn guests into royal princesses or gallant knights. There are two Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutiques in Disney World, located in Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, but they have remained closed since the pandemic closures, and we’ve been anxiously awaiting the moment when they reopened their doors. Now, we know when these spots will reopen!
Ever been walking down Main Street, U.S.A., and just suddenly had the urge to get your hair cut?
Main Street, U.S.A.
For the last couple of years, you would’ve been out of luck in that situation. But before the 2020 closures, Magic Kingdom had a fully operational barbershop on Main Street, U.S.A., complete with a variety of haircut services. This shop didn’t return when the parks reopened, but now we finally know when the Harmony Barber Shop will reopen in Disney World! [Read more…]
Skipping the standby line for one EPCOT attraction is changing soon in Disney World!
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
Well, at least for a little while. Since Disney introduced Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selection, guests who pay for the services have been able to bypass the regular line at select attractions. Access to certain rides is available through Genie+, while Individual Attraction Selection grants access to others. And, one EPCOT ride will be changing the way guests skip the line for a limited time!
Something new is cooking up in EPCOT!
EPCOT
No, we’re not talking about Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (although we’re extremely excited for its official opening on May 27th). We’re talking about the Pepperoni Pizza Roll at Sunshine Seasons! We’ve seen Pepperoni Pizza Egg Rolls over at Disney California Adventure in the past as well as Pepperoni Pizza Spring Rolls in Magic Kingdom (both of which we really enjoyed), so of course we had to try this new pizza-inspired item! And spoiler alert: This is PERFECT for pizza lovers!
The opening date for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is coming up SOON! It will officially open to all guests on May 27th.

We’ve already been able to go on the ride several times, so we’ve got ALL the details (including a spoiler free review!). The ride will be using a virtual queue system when it officially opens instead of a standby line. And now, we have more details about how the virtual queue will work for the ride!
What’s the FIRST souvenir you think of when you think of Disney World? Is it ears? We bet it is!
Can you EVER have enough?
Even if it wasn’t, you have to admit that Minnie and Mickey ears are iconic and a total theme park staple. And, there are SO many to choose from! Seriously, Disney has released dozens of new pairs already this year — it’s hard to keep up. But, luckily for you, we made it easy and compiled ALL of them together in one place! So, let’s check out ALL of the Minnie and Mickey ears that have been released so far in 2022. We will continue to update this post as more ears are released throughout the year.
