food IS a theme park
We’re seeing quite a few changes to Disney World’s hotels!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa
As hotels like Disney’s Beach Club Resort and Disney’s BoardWalk Inn prepare to reopen, others like Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Contemporary Resort are undergoing refurbishment. And now, over at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, some BIG changes are underway.
If you’ve been keeping up with Disney World’s many health and safety measures, then you probably know about all the changes that have been happening recently!
Guests can now take maskless photos outdoors if they remain stationary and distanced from others.
We’ve seen mask requirements for outdoor areas be relaxed and temperature checks are getting phased out. Now, the verbiage on the Disney World website has changed to indicate that physical distancing measures are being reduced. What could this mean for the future of the parks? Let’s discuss!
We love visiting Batuu at Disney’s Hollywood Studios if only to see what cool new Star Wars merchandise ends up there.
Star Wars plushes!
And we’ve seen some VERY cool stuff, including Chewbacca socks, a Droid Depot backpack, and some pretty sweet lightsabers! But today, we spotted some brand new items that you might just want to give a big hug!
You know what’s underrated in Disney World? Disney Springs!
Disney Springs!
People tend to focus so much on the parks that they forget all about Disney’s shopping and dining complex — even though it’s full of fun things to do, delicious food, and plenty of activities for the whole family. We stopped by Disney Springs today to check out what was going on and we found something surprising…not one, but TWO locations were closed today!
There are quite a few different forms of transportation you can use to get around Disney World including Disney buses, boats, the monorail, and one of Disney’s latest forms of transportation — the Skyliner.
Time for a Trip on the Skyliner?
Recently, the Skyliner’s operating hours were adjusted for one day, and now we’ve got some news about an upcoming Skyliner CLOSURE that you need to know about.
The Three Caballeros at Gran Fiesta Tour in EPCOT have been through quite the journey over the past few months.
Let’s Go for a Ride!
Donald was replaced by a plant, then the plant went missing, and all three Caballeros were replaced by cardboard cutouts. But, earlier today Disney shared that the Three Caballeros animatronics have finally made their way BACK to the ride so we went to check it out for ourselves!
We’ve been closely following the progress on the Brightline train in Florida!

The train will directly transport guests from the Orlando International Airport to a stop in Disney Springs, which will be super helpful when the Magical Express service is discontinued in January 2022. While the train’s Disney Springs stop was originally due to open in 2023, it has been delayed to 2026. But now, construction has reached a BIG milestone!
Who doesn’t love a good all-you-can-eat breakfast?!
Let’s take a visit to Cape May!
When Disney World reopened, several restaurants remained closed for months afterward, not having the resources, staff, or possibly guest demand to operate again. Now, we’re starting to see some of our favorites open back up for business, and today we’re heading over to Disney’s Beach Club Resort to check one out! Cape May Cafe has reopened and we’re ready to utterly stuff ourselves with hearty breakfast food.Â
For months we have been closely following the saga of the Three Caballeros animatronic figures at The Gran Fiesta Tour in EPCOT’s Mexico pavilion.
Gran Fiesta Tour
For a while Donald’s animatronic was replaced by a PLANT (literally) and later all 3 of the animatronics were totally removed and replaced by cardboard cutouts. It’s been one wild ride! But now we’ve got some BIG news — the Three Caballeros (in animatronic form) are BACK!!
100th-anniversary ears, Dole Whip ears, and tropical ears — there are LOTS of Minnie and Mickey ears you can buy in the Disney World theme parks and online.
50th Anniversary Grand Finale Ears
But, if you’re searching for a particular set of ears in Magic Kingdom, odds are you’re probably looking for them and buying them in the WRONG place.Â
