food IS a theme park
For many people, fall is sweater weather. And now, it can also be soft-and-fuzzy character hat weather!Â
Magic Kingdom
The King Arthur Carrousel Minnie Ears isn’t the only exciting piece of headwear we spotted in Magic Kingdom today. We also found a SUPER fuzzy hat that looks like the perfect accessory for those chilly fall and winter months!
With Halloween FAST approaching, our cravings for all things chocolate are reaching new levels!Â
The Ganachery
If your trick-or-treating plans are up in the air this year, one Disney World restaurant is here to save the day, with FREE chocolate! No, this is NOT a trick!Â
Change has been the major theme for Disney World — and the rest of the world — this year, sometimes in an exciting way, and sometimes…less so. Â
Wilderness Lodge Boat Transportation
One of our favorite tours in Disney World has officially been discontinued, marking yet another change for a beloved hotel.Â
Disney Cast Members are one of the biggest reasons that the parks are so magical and we love them dearly!
Cast Members
Disney recently made the difficult decision to lay off 28,000 Cast Members domestically. And many of the employees who were laid-off are still making an effort to help others who are in need during the current situation.
We’ve always loved traveling on the Friendship Boats on Crescent Lake that stop at EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Boardwalk Resort, Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts, and the Swan and Dolphin Hotels. There’s just something so leisurely and relaxing about riding a boat around Disney World.
Cresent Lake Friendship Boat
After Disney World’s reopening, the Friendship Boats were supposed to resume running again on July 29th. However, that didn’t happen, and until recently, the boats have not been seen at all.
The Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction series has been the hottest Disney World collectible of the year!Â
King Arthur’s Carrousel Ears
So hot, in fact, that they sell out FAST any time new versions become available, which is why you’ll want to head to Magic Kingdom ASAP to grab a pair! [Read more…]
We’re at the start of a brand new week, and we think that’s a great reason to treat yourself!
Hippy Dippy Area
Everything POP is also bringing back two menu items that are worth the carb overload.
The House of Good Fortune in EPCOT is known for its unique snack collection.
House of Good Fortune
We’ve recently seen a bunch of super awesome new-to-us Lay’s Potato Chip flavors in the China Pavilion, like fried crab and chicken tomato. We’ve even tried CANDY potato chips! But now, we’ve found ANOTHER unique flavor…Salted Yolk Rice Dumplings! (And wait ’til you see the bag!)
When you’re packing your day bag, the new normal is to make sure you’ve got an extra face mask with you on top of your sunscreen and sunglasses before hitting the parks.
Face Mask Sign
Although the switch to new health and safety measures might still feel unfamiliar to anything we’ve experienced in the past, Disney World has placed an importance on the well-being of guests and Cast Members returning to the parks.
Disney has been giving its mobile offerings on the My Disney Experience app some serious expansion in the reopened theme parks — especially when it comes to dining. More spots have been added to Mobile Order, you can now order some table service fare to go, AND there’s the new Mobile Dine Walk-up Waitlist.
Nomad Lounge
With all of these added mobile options, we’ve gotten questions wondering if they are mandatory to use when you head into the park. Mobile Order is strictly encouraged but what about the Walk-up Waitlist? Do you HAVE to use the virtual waitlist to get a table when you don’t have a reservation? Here’s what we’ve experienced!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
