food IS a theme park
The start of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations is just a few weeks away!
Mickey and Minnie!
We’ve already seen some of the 50th anniversary character statues in the park, gotten a glimpse at the special lighting coming to Spaceship Earth, and even heard some of the music for EPCOT’s new fireworks show. Today, we spotted more 50th anniversary decor on one of Disney World’s signature forms of transportation!
Hello from Disney World!
Chili Lime Cupcake
It’s spooky season and yes, we’ve been trying all the special Halloween treats we can find. That includes a spicy cupcake, a spooky frosting-full push-pop, and a boozy (and tropical?) drink! But we’re also still watching all the Disney World restaurant menus for changes, and we’ve got a few to share with you this week.
Oh poutine, how we love thee.
The Daily Poutine
The Daily Poutine in Disney Springs is a kiosk that serves not only the classic combo of fries, gravy, and cheese curds but also a whole slew of creative flavors ranging from Butter Chicken to Korean BBQ! Today, The Daily Poutine announced the return of a beloved fall flavor!
Disney World’s turning 50 this year and there’s a MASSIVE celebration that’s about to begin!
Cinderella Castle has been redecorated for the 50th Anniversary!
We’re already seeing a lot of things in the parks in anticipation of the celebration’s opening day, on October 1st. Cinderella Castle got a serious glow-up. EPCOT is undergoing a massive transformation. The park icons have started getting their new lighting schemes. We’re getting TWO new nighttime shows, one at Magic Kingdom and another at EPCOT.
We’re back to check in on all of the construction projects going on around Disney World and WOW has it been busy!
LOTS of new decorations are popping up EVERY day!
The Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary is just around the corner so there’s almost always something new to spot in the parks. Between sparkly new golden statues, missing animatronics, more progress on upcoming attractions, and other construction projects, we’ve got A LOT to cover — so let’s jump right on in!
To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
We’ve seen safety policies change many times since Disney World reopened last year after being closed due to the pandemic.
COVID-19 Health and Safety Sign
When the parks first reopened, there were strict safety precautions put into place like temperature checks, required masks, and social distancing. As the pandemic continued, some of those policies were relaxed or done away with altogether. However, some things, like required masks indoors, actually came back shortly after Disney removed the requirement due to an increase of COVID-19 cases and new recommendations from the CDC. One thing you may be wondering about is the current status of social distancing in the parks. So, is there still social distancing in Disney World?
Disney World is on a roll with restaurants reopening lately!
Welcome back, Diamond Horseshoe!
From Boma to Columbia Harbour House to Casey’s Corner, so many Disney World favorites have come back. Now, the Diamond Horseshoe has officially reopened in Magic Kingdom, and we’re here to give you a first look at our dining experience!

There has been a lot of uncertainty surrounding traveling due to the COVID pandemic.
Mask Sign
Disney World has put several health and safety measures in place, but many people have expressed that they are not ready to head back in and face the crowds. We asked our readers what it would take for them to feel comfortable in Disney World again — here’s what you said!
EPCOT has been undergoing a massive transformation and all that hard work is really starting to show!
