food IS a theme park
Earlier this month, Disney announced some exciting new tech for your smart device.

The MagicMobile service enables your smart device — your phone, Apple Watch, etc. — to function as your MagicBand! And while the feature won’t replace MagicBands entirely (you’ll still be able to choose designs based on your favorite characters, attractions, and more!), it provides an alternative for those who want everything streamlined down to one device.
Cinderella Castle is currently getting a HUGE makeover and updates for the big 50th anniversary celebration that starts later this year!
Decorations are already going up!
We’ve already seen it get a new paint job, watched it get some work done that required the moat to be drained, and got details about what it will look like later this year. And, there are already some shiny new decorative elements on it!
There are a TON of changes happening around Disney World, and we’ve been busy tracking them all!
Decorations are already going up!
We’ve found several new updates this week to ongoing Disney World projects, and we’re here to give you all the details!
One of our favorite places to get a meal that we constantly call “hearty” is the Rose & Crown Pub and Dining Room at the U.K. Pavilion at EPCOT.
Rose & Crown Reopening
But the Dining Room part of Rose and Crown has been closed for refurbishment since February, but we recently noticed that reservations were open again as of March 21st. Today is the day, and the Rose & Crown Dining Room has officially reopened!
Way back in January, we noticed that Bonjour Village Gifts at Magic Kingdom had closed and was getting a makeover!
Looking great!
At the time, we spotted a crew painting the exterior of the building. The Fantasyland shop eventually got a fresh coat of green paint, along with a pretty mural!
From Minnie Ears to Marvel hats, headgear is an important accessory in Disney World.
Pearl Minnie Ears
For all the latest fashions, we make a beeline for The Chapeau in Magic Kingdom, but now it looks like Disney is shaking things up, because we found a TON of merch from the hat shop at ANOTHER store on Main Street, U.S.A.!
Here at Disney Food Blog, we love to take a “work hard, play hard” approach to our jobs covering ALL things Disney with our readers!
Cinderella Castle
Sometimes, this leads us to unexpected places for impromptu photo shoots. That’s because we’re so committed to capturing the BEST photos for you all, even if that means photographing frosting FAR away from the parks!
If you’re really into cupcakes, you’ll want to make a beeline to Sprinkles over in Disney Springs!
Sprinkles Cupcakes
The shop is known for its cupcakes with yummy flavors that include some boozy cupcakes, specialty seasonal cupcakes, and even naked cupcakes (sans icing)!
Things don’t always go according to plan at Disney World, particularly with rides.
Let’s go ride with an alien!
It happens — rides go down, people have to be evacuated, animatronics stop working, and more. And sometimes this affects whether a ride is open or closed, or if it’s loading guests slower than usual.
Hello, everyone! We’re back at Disney World with more updates!
Worst hotel ever. Do not recommend. HAUNTED.
And we just spent some time at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, checking out some new food, new merchandise, and seeing what was going on in the park since we were there last. So are you ready for some updates? Because here we go!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
