food IS a theme park
You never know what you’ll find on a visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, especially if the animals are out and about.
A perfect view!
This week in Animal Kingdom we spotted some fun characters, and some interesting souvenirs, but this morning we were party to some very interesting gossip!
It’s been well…a YEAR for everyone, but especially for Disney World’s PeopleMover. The Magic Kingdom attraction closed over a year ago and we’re still waiting for it to reopen.
Patiently waiting…
The reopening was delayed, then delayed again, and then delayed AGAIN. But earlier this week, Disney announced that the ride would be up and running “late this weekend.”
So…is the PeopleMover opening or nah?
Rise and Shine, Tomorrowland!
This week, it was announced that the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover’s refurbishment of over a year was finally coming to an end this weekend. We spotted updated hours for the attraction on the Disney website, and upon talking to Cast Members, were told that today might be the magical day. So, we were at Magic Kingdom bright and early this morning to scope out the situation for ourselves.
Paging Star Command! Think you have what it takes to defeat Zurg and save the galaxy? Then you’re going to have to blast off to infinity and beyond on Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom!
Want to be a Galactic Hero?
And once you blast off, you’ll be wanting to reach that coveted status of Galactic Hero, right? But how exactly do you go about nabbing 999,999 points on this ride? Well, we just reached Galactic Hero Status, and now we’re going to tell you EXACTLY how we got there.
We’ve been anxiously awaiting the grand opening of Space 220 in EPCOT for years…literally!
Space 220
Set next to the Mission: SPACE attraction in EPCOT, Space 220 is a restaurant unlike any other in Disney World. To enter the restaurant, guests will board an elevator that will simulate transporting them 220 miles above Earth to the Centauri Space Station. Once inside, guests will be treated to a full panoramic view of space as they dine! Sounds great, right? If it ever opens, that is!
We’re at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge today, checking things out and seeing if there is anything new!
One of our FAVORITE resort lobbies…Jambo House!
While there haven’t been any updates on Boma or Jiko getting a reopening date, we did take a look around, and of course say hi to some animals. Although we’re used to seeing wildlife around this resort, there were some univited guests we noticed as we made our way around.
We get it — Disney World is expensive. That’s why we always try to share our best tips and tricks on how to save money at the parks!
Don’t be afraid to ask for free water!
From telling you about free water (yes, we’ll mention it every chance we can get) to how to save on portable chargers to trip discounts, we’ll let you know when we spot great deals and ways to save a few bucks. And yes, we’ll even tell you how to save on food!
