food IS a theme park
Today we shared the big news that traditional meet and greets are coming back to Disney World, Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line, and Aulani.
Hey There Mickey!
But you may have missed an important detail within all of that news…
🚨 Get ready! The way you meet your favorite Disney characters in the parks is CHANGING…again!
Hey There Mickey!
Prior to the pandemic, meeting Mickey, the Disney princesses, and other iconic characters was full of hugs, autographs, and regular face-to-face contact. Of course, the situation with COVID-19 changed all of that. After the parks reopened, fans got the chance to see Mickey and friends…but only from a distance. Then, more traditional meet-and-greets returned, but they were still riddled with changes including (importantly) distancing requirements, no hugs, and no autographs. We later heard that the face-to-face meet-and-greets we’re all used to would soon be returning to Disney World (and got a hint about it yesterday) and now we’ve got BIG news!
Although we love all the parks at Disney World, there’s just something extra magical about Magic Kingdom.
Magic Kingdom is…well…MAGICAL
Maybe it’s because there’s a gorgeous castle at the end of Main Street, U.S.A., maybe it’s because there are just SO many attractions to ride, maybe it’s because of all the different lands, maybe it’s because of the FANTASTICAL parade we get to see there every day, but whatever the case, we LOVE Magic Kingdom. We love that we get to go there every day, just checking out anything new going on.
We don’t know about you, but we were SICK of winter — springtime really came to the rescue this March! In Disney World, spring is a pretty busy time of year. Spring break crowds took OVER the parks and resorts, and for now, high wait times and large crowds are fairly common in Disney World. Now that Disney is relaxing its health and safety guidelines, more and more people are flocking to the parks for a little vacation.
From big announcements to little updates, we learned a lot this month!
With all the hustle and bustle happening around Disney, there’s been a lot of news in a short amount of time. If you need a little refresher, you’ve come to the right place! Come with us as we discuss FOURTEEN new things we learned in Disney World in March.
We know it’s only the spring, but we’re already getting excited for the 2022 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival!
2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
Don’t get us wrong, we love Flower and Garden Festival, but Food and Wine is the OG food festival. Disney just announced that the 2022 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival will take place from July 14th through November 19th of this year, and they also revealed how many food booths will be at the festival!
