food IS a theme park
Headed to EPCOT for some fun at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival?
International Gateway temperature checks
Well, if you’re planning on entering through the International Gateway entrance (a.k.a. the “back” entrance), you may experience some issues. It appears Disney is experiencing some technical difficulties today with this back entrance to the park that is preventing guests from entering.
Today, at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) expo, Josh D’Amaro shared several updates on a number of ongoing and upcoming projects for Disney parks around the world.
Josh D’Amaro in EPCOT
As the Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, D’Amaro had a LOT to discuss in his presentation, and we got a chance to get more insight into what the company’s plans are for moving forward following the pandemic. He talked about several new attractions, hotels, and restaurants, but he also briefly discussed something that thoroughly excites us: plans for Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary!
Disney Visa® Cardholders get quite a few fun perks and discounts for Disney theme parks, resorts, and shopping, and we just learned of a brand new one!
Disney Chase Visa®
If you have a Disney Visa Card, you can get a deal on a stay at Walt Disney World this holiday season through early 2021.
Little by little, many restaurants and hotels all around Disney World have reopened.
Cafe Rix
And soon, another spot will be added to the list! Cafe Rix at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort will be reopening in just a few days.
Disney World has a whole lot of attractions coming to the parks soon with the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, TRON Coaster, and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure making their debut soon.
Cinderella Castle
While there is lots of construction is happening around the parks, Disney has had to pause a few of its regular shows. Butt tonight, there will be fireworks in the Magic Kingdom.
After the huge amount of Disney news we just learned, we are feeling REALLY excited for the future of the parks, resorts, and restaurants.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Since technology is getting transformed with flying Spider-Man animatronics, Omnimover ride vehicles, and a look into space from your bedroom, Disney has revealed additional details about how new experiences may change too.
WELCOME, friends, to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
HELLO from Animal Kingdom!
Let’s waste no time… because not one, but TWO spots in the park have just reopened, and a favorite holiday treat made a spectacular return. And there’s more where that came from… so join us as we check out WHAT’S NEW in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! [Read more…]
Ready to eat in space? Well, Space 220, which is a new restaurant coming to EPCOT, may not actually take you physically off of planet Earth, but it’ll definitely make you feel like you’re floating among the stars.

Space 220 was announced some time ago and was originally supposed to open last winter, but has still not opened its doors. We’ve been keeping an eye on the construction progress we’ve been able to see from the outside, but today Disney gave us a small peek INSIDE the restaurant!Â
As you may have heard, EPCOT is undergoing a pretty HUGE transformation.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Much of this transformation is happening over in Future World, including a BRAND NEW roller coaster — Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind! We’ve been keeping a close eye on the exterior progress on this attraction, but now we can take a peek INSIDE!
We’ve been keeping a close eye on the construction of Star Wars: Galactic Cruiser (a.k.a. the Star Wars hotel) coming to Disney World.

Today we got an amazing peek at one of the areas on the interior of this ship. During the IAAPA Expo presentation this morning, Josh D’Amaro, the current Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, shared a look at one of the guest rooms coming to the Star Wars hotel and it’s totally out of this world!
