food IS a theme park
Disney has now announced the dates for the 2021 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival!
Flower and Garden Festival
Since it began in 1994, the Flower and Garden Festival has become a highlight of Spring in Walt Disney World. And since last year’s festival was cut short due to the extended park closure, we’re looking forward to the return of the Flower and Garden Festival in 2021!
Just over a month ago, Disney announced that Park Hopping would be coming back to Walt Disney World at the start of 2021 in a modified way.
Cinderella Castle
The new system has quite a few rules and requirements different than the old way of Park Hopping you may be familiar with, one being that the ability to Park Hop is not guaranteed — instead, it’s entirely based on park availability (a.k.a. you might NOT get to hop if the parks are full). But, getting a ticket with the Park Hopper option is more expensive than a regular 1-day, 1-park pass. Will that additional cost be worth it for you under the modified system? Here are our thoughts.
Many reopened Disney restaurants have opened with slightly different menus or a completely new menu. But we have yet to see a restaurant serving up SEVERAL items from another closed restaurant in the park — until now!
Tomorrowland Terrace Reopening
Sure, you can grab Ronto Wraps or Chesire Cat Tails in a new place now, but we’re looking at Tomorrowland Terrace because it seems to be serving up quite a few old favorites from Columbia Harbour House! The restaurant just reopened today with this new menu, and we had to see how it compared to the original.
Disney World Park Hours have been changing quite a bit lately.
Cinderella Castle
Well, if you’re headed to Disney World for New Year’s Eve or planning to be there on January 1st, when Park Hopping begins, you’ll want to be up to date on the latest park hours to make sure you plan accordingly. Today, we noticed that park hours have been extended for the first few days in January!
Do you like starting your day at the foot of Cinderella Castle?

Who doesn’t? Soon, it’s gonna be a little bit easier to make sure you snag the most important meal of the day when you arrive at Magic Kingdom RIGHT at opening. Yup, some MORE breakfast offerings are coming to Disney’s flagship park!
Earlier this year, Cinderella’s Royal Table reopened, featuring a very quick appearance by Cinderella herself!

And while we munched on some chicken and tenderloin of beef when we visited, a NEW entree will soon be joining the menu for all to enjoy!
ICYMI, Park Hopping is coming back to the Walt Disney World theme parks in the New Year!
Walt Disney World Monorail
Starting January 1st, guests who have purchased Disney World theme park tickets or passes with the Park Hopping add-on option will once again be able to visit more than one park per day. And now we are seeing the new Park Hopper Hours reflected on the Walt Disney World website for the four theme parks! [Read more…]

Disneyland Paris may be closed for the time being, but a reopening is scheduled soon. When the park DOES reopen, a MAJOR icon might look pretty different!
Some lucky folks are headed to Disney World next week. Are you one of them?
Magic Kingdom
If you are, we want to make sure you’re ready! A very big thing to plan for is that wacky Florida weather. Your Disney week could see a wide range of temperatures and surprising precipitation, so we’re taking a look at the weather conditions that you can expect on your trip to Disney World.
While we were checking out the new Star Wars Cloud City Spirit Jersey at Tatooine Traders in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we noticed another new arrival.
