food IS a theme park
Here at DFB, we know a thing or two about Disney restaurants.
Disney World
But Disney World restaurants have certainly changed over the years! You might be surprised by JUST how much some have changed! We’re taking a look at the weird and wonderful Disney restaurants of the past. Do you remember these surprising things from back in the day?
If you are the type to look swanky and swell at Walt Disney World, chances are you know about Dapper Day.
Disneybounding
This is an organization that celebrates retro style and modern “refined” style that throws it back to days of red lipstick, bouffant hairstyles, and petticoats. You may know them from their Dapper Day meetups at Disney World and Disneyland!
As Disney World continues its phased reopening, modifications have taken place in order to accommodate more guests in certain areas. Without FastPass+ and with the necessity of separating parties by six feet in queue areas, those lines can get mighty long! Since capacity increased last year and more guests are starting to travel again, those lines are only getting longer.
Cinderella Castle
Disney has remedied the ever-growing wait times by shifting from a model of every other row being loaded with guests to a model of EVERY row being loaded with guests.
It’s the start of spring break season in Disney World!
Tree of Life
Even though a small majority of the U.S. population plans to travel this year, we’re still expecting MAJOR crowds in the parks. Disney’s been preparing, too: they’ve recently extended park hours and added Park Pass reservations. And guys, the time is HERE. Let’s take a look at how the crowds are shapin’ up for spring break in Disney World.
We spent a lovely day in Downtown Disney yesterday!
Downtown Disney
The Disneyland theme parks may still be closed for the time being, but we’re able to spend the day at the nearby shopping and dining district. So, we’ve got an update on everything NEW!Â
We hope you’re ready to join us in The Land pavilion in EPCOT as we grab some lunch!
The Land Pavilion
We’re stopping by a classic EPCOT counter service location in the pavilion: Sunshine Seasons. We noticed a couple of fun additions to the menu when we were checking it out on Mobile Order, and figured we’d swing in to give them a try AND bring you a review while we’re at it! [Read more…]
Disney is already saving the earth with plastic cheese (it’s true!) and special trash cans.
New Disney Trash Cans!
But there’s more cool environmental stuff coming to Disney World soon!
Guys, we’ve gotten some HUGE Disney news today.
Cinderella Castle
Disney announced opening dates for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Crêperie de Paris, a reopening timeline for Disneyland Resort, and even an update on the Disney Cruise Line! But hang tight, because there’s even MORE to share. In Disney’s Shareholders Meeting today, CEO Bob Chapek had an update on the Disney College Program.
It’s been about a few years since we first learned that EPCOT would be getting its OWN version of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in the France Pavilion!
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Ride Vehicle
This ride was originally supposed to open in summer 2020, but due to the global health crisis, the construction and opening date were delayed. We have seen a lot of work being done on the ride and the France pavilion’s expansion. Last year, Disney shared that the ride would be opening in 2021, and now we FINALLY have an official opening date!!
We’ve been looking forward to the extension of EPCOT’s France Pavilion for what feels like eons!
France Pavilion Expansion
With the announcement of a new ride called Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and a new crepe restaurant, what’s not to like? Disney announced that these attractions would open sometime in 2021, and now we have an official grand opening date for La Crêperie de Paris!
