food IS a theme park
Earlier this year, Disney announced massive layoffs coming to the Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products division. Recently, we were all devastated by the news that many performers from some of our very favorite Disney World shows had been affected by these layoffs.

In fact, Actors’ Equity Association indicated that 720 of their members working at Disney had lost their jobs there. Now, Disney has issued a statement regarding these entertainment layoffs.
2020 sure has been a year, huh?

Honestly, we’re totally ready for it to be the NEW YEAR, which will bring plenty of exciting things to Walt Disney World.
We’re big fans of Disney’s spirit jerseys — not only do they come in a lot of great designs (HOLIDAY SPIRIT JERSEYS, Y’ALL!), but they’re so comfy and they are great to lounge around in.

We’ve enjoyed looking at all the new spirit jerseys we’ve found at Disney World, too, including designs with Disney animal friends, wintry snowflakes and castles, and Wishes Come True Blue!
We love seeing all the Star Wars merchandise at Disney World, and more keeps coming in every day.

If you’re planning on visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios in December and have not yet made a park pass reservation, you may be out of luck.
Galaxy’s Edge
As you may know, Disney World started the park pass reservation system when it reopened to keep its parks at limited capacity. So a park pass, in addition to a valid ticket, is now required to enter any given park.
There are plenty of unique items that are NOT allowed in Disney World. Selfie sticks and large strollers are some common items that have over the years been banned from being brought into the parks.
No Selfie Sticks!
However, there are a few surprising items that absolutely ARE allowed in the parks! Service dogs are a common sight throughout the theme parks, but there’s another service animal that you may even know is allowed to enter Disney World. According to Disney, service animals include not only dogs, but MINIATURE HORSES as well!
Disney Springs is known for its incredible variety of shops.

They’ve got toy stores and clothing shops, as well as unique experiences like at the Coca-Cola Store. While browsing around Disney Springs, we noticed one store that was closed.
Hello, Hollywood! Disney’s Hollywood Studios, that is!

Let’s stroll through the glamour, the galaxy, and the backyard to see what’s new since the last time we were at Hollywood Studios!
Since the reopening of Disney World, character meet and greets have looked a little bit different.
Joy Strikes a Pose!
You can spot your favorites in the character cavalcades at each park, or even frolicking in the grass at EPCOT. Recently, we saw Anna and Elsa greet guests from a distance and now, another crowd-favorite is returning to the meet and greet scene!
Disney has released a LOT of face masks lately on their new fabric, from Marvel designs to Pixar ones and more!
