food IS a theme park
Magic Kingdom is getting some touch-ups for Disney World’s 50th anniversary!

Cinderella Castle is undergoing a major transformation, and Fantasyland is getting some spiffying up! On top of some fresh paint, shimmering gold leaf decor is being added to some classic attractions. We’ve already seen some signs of this on Prince Charming Regal Carrousel, but when we stopped by today we noticed some MAJOR progress!
It’s not even summer yet, but we’re already thinking about spooky season!
Halloween at Magic Kingdom 2020
Even though Disney has not yet announced if Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will return this year, fall remains a popular time to visit the parks. There are plenty of pumpkin-inspired treats, the weather is great, and you’ve got a chance to see some pretty cool characters! But if you want to visit the parks on October 31st, you’d better start planning.
Earlier today, we told you that EPCOT’s new gelato spot officially has a name!

Disney also announced that Gelateria Toscana is opening in May (that’s next month, people) in EPCOT’s Italy Pavilion. We’ve been following the construction since the project was announced in 2019, and we are SO ready for an assortment of gelato, sorbetti, and tiramisù. And when we were walkin’ by the construction zone today, we noticed something HUGE!
We won’t lie — we love playing with our food. And we love coming up with food hacks to take a snack up a level or to create something entirely new!
The most controversial milk in the galaxy!
We’ve already played around with a cool Dole Whip hack, as well as mixed Churros with Coconut Dole Whip (hello, YUM!). We even hacked a Valentine’s Day treat to turn it into something even more epic. But today, we’re turning to that most controversial of snacks — the Blue Milk at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Disney World currently requires you to wear a face covering at all times on property — and maybe you want a little Mickey style while you do just that!

Earlier today, we spotted some brand-new masks in Disney World! They’re quite a bit pricier than the older versions — and they’re sporting some new features, too. Now, if you’re in the market for a new mask, you’ll probably want to know exactly what the differences are, so you can figure out if the high price is worth it. And that’s why we’re here: to break it all down for ya! Let’s get started.
There’s a MASSIVEÂ Star Wars holiday coming up soon!
Darth Vader Valentine
May the 4th!!! That is officially known as Star Wars day, and in case you don’t get it — it’s because May the 4th sounds a lot like “May the Force” (be with you) and it’s traditionally become a day that Star Wars fans celebrate their favorite movie and TV franchise!

Well, howdy pardners!
Howdy, Woody!
We’ve made a couple visits to Disney’s Hollywood Studios over the past few days and now we’re here with a quick check-in on everything new! We didn’t spot any updates in food or construction — but we DID see some cool new merchandise!
Calling all Star Wars fans!! May the 4th (a.k.a. Star Wars Day) is coming up soon and we’ve got some great news!
Are You Part of the Resistance?
You can celebrate Star Wars day at home by snagging some collectibles or new tees, cooking up Star Wars recipes, and watching the Star Wars films (of course). But, if you’ll be in Disney World, soon you’ll have the chance to try some out-of-this-world treats leading up to Star Wars Day!
EPCOT is undergoing a MAJOR transformation — and that means there will be some new eats!
EPCOT
In addition to new rides like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, we’re getting NEW restaurants like La Crêperie de Paris in the France Pavilion and Space 220 in Future World! And over in the Italy Pavilion, a new gelato spot is on the way…and we FINALLY have more details.
Recently, we’ve seen some big changes made regarding distancing and masks in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Physical Distancing Signs
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently issued updated guidance regarding what activities fully vaccinated individuals can do outdoors without a mask. And earlier today, Mayor Demings of Orange County, Florida (where part of Disney World is located) relaxed some distancing rules in the county and announced some mask policy changes coming in the future. Mayor Demings also specifically spoke about theme parks and what changes might happen there.
