food IS a theme park
Disney World is constantly changing!

Sometimes we see those changes coming and sometimes we don’t. Last month, a few things definitely caught us off guard. Here are the three most unexpected things that happened in Disney World in March!
In the last year, we’ve seen a lot of “sprucing up” going on around the Walt Disney World parks, but especially in Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle getting work done for the 50th Anniversary.
Cinderella Castle got a new paint job and now she’s getting additional decorations for the 50th Anniversary. We also noticed repainting happening at the parking entrance for the TTC and several classic attractions are getting golden touch-ups. Today, we spotted another place in the park where there’s some painting going on, and we took some photos to share with you!
The phased reopening of Walt Disney World continues! And, we’re especially happy to see more dining locations and options become available once again.
Olivia’s Cafe
Just a few weeks ago, for instance, Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort opened again to guests (along with its restaurants, of course). And while Olivia’s Cafe has been open for awhile now, this hidden gem of a restaurant at Disney’s Old Key West Resort has recently reinstated brunch at Olivia’s Cafe. (And, may we say… YUM!) In fact, if you’re planning on kicking back at Old Key West yourself, then you need to know about ANOTHER quick-service spot reopening to guests!
Disney World has been adapting its safety guidelines alongside the ongoing pandemic.

Currently, there are safety procedures in place for mask-wearing and social distancing throughout the parks. But now, an important update has been made regarding these policies.
Disney World is continuing with its phased reopening.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
We’ve seen restaurants and resorts reopen as Disney World slowly increases its limited operations. Recently, Blizzard Beach even reopened! But if you’ve been following the hotel reopening dates closely, you may be a little confused. Why are reopening dates listed for hotels that are already open?! Well today, we’re breaking it ALL down for ya.
Something exciting is coming to Disney World!
Hi There, Disney World 🥰
All kinds of events are kicking off in and around Disney World, from the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival this summer to a virtual runDisney event. But over at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, a famous competition will take place.
For many folks, Disney World is the perfect happy place.
Cinderella Castle
Sure, it’s a joy to walk down Main Street, U.S.A., but we can’t always jet off to the parks every time we need a pick-me-up. Well, good news! You don’t necessarily need to drop big bucks to get to your happy place. What if you could go to Disney World WHENEVER you want without leaving your house…or putting on pants. How you ask? Our kids showed us.
There’s one Disney World theme park that’s a little bit harder to get to than others.
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway
Since the theme parks reopened last July, the Disney Park Pass theme park reservation system has been implemented to help keep the parks at limited capacity. It has been notoriously difficult to get into Disney’s Hollywood Studios and now it could be OVER TWO MONTHS until some guests can get in.
Don’t get us wrong — we LOVE Disney World. We’re there every day, and we still get a little teary-eyed when we walk down Main Street, U.S.A. and see Cinderella Castle. Disney World IS our happy place!
Welcome to our happy place!
But at the same time, there have been some things that Disney World has done that left us scratching our heads and asking, “What gives, Disney?” We’ve seen some pretty ridiculous things happen at the parks over the years, and some were so outrageous that we’ve totally forgotten about them!
If there are two things EPCOT is known for, it’s the eats and the drinks!!
Spaceship Earth
Not only has the Flower and Garden Festival brought us some delish treats this spring, but some of our regular stops are dropping some brand-new bites and we’re here to tell ya’ all about it!
