food IS a theme park
Walt Disney World has PLENTY of transportation options, from buses to the monorail to the Skyliner and everything in between!
Disney Skyliner
But when Walt Disney World officially reopens Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom on July 11th and Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios on July 15th, not EVERY type of vehicle will be available.
When Epcot officially reopens on July 15th, there’s going to be a brand new hybrid food festival, the Taste of Epcot International Food and Wine Festival.
Epcot
We’ve FINALLY gotten menus for the 20 signature marketplaces that will be spaced out around the theme park, but we know that no festival is complete without merchandise!
Can you believe Food and Wine time is just around the corner?? While the 2020 Epcot Food and Wine Festival will run from July 15th through the Fall (the longest running festival EVER), you can see the FULL booth menus and more now!

Who’s hungry?? (We are!) Let’s get snacking and sipping through the 2020 offerings!

We’ve been all over Walt Disney World today checking out what’s new for the reopening!
Emporium Adult Apparel
We spotted something real cute while perusing the Emporium in Magic Kingdom. Honestly, it’s the perfect purchase to prepare us for those notorious Disney World summer thunderstorms. [Read more…]
We had a few of our team members arrive at Magic Kingdom this morning to attend the special Annual Passholder preview that’s happening today!
Magic Kingdom
And just about all of us took a different method of transportation to get here! See what our team experienced driving their own cars to Disney World today as well as riding the monorail and using the Disney World buses to get to the gates of Magic Kingdom! We also checked out the ferryboats on our way out of the park today too!
We’re back at Walt Disney World and taking note of all the new sights, sounds, and tastes!
Starbucks
It’s not a day at Disney without stopping into Starbucks for a little morning magic! We slipped into Creature Comforts at Animal Kingdom to get a feel for the new ordering procedures and, of course, try out a new drink on the menu!
We’ve been walking around all day today at the Magic Kingdom during Annual Passholder previews checking out wait times, spotting social distancing measures, and of course, riding some rides!
Magic Kingdom
And while there are plenty of rides and attractions officially open at The Most Magical Place on Earth, one of our FAVORITE rides was sadly down!
We’ve been exploring Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom this week during Cast Member and Annual Passholder previews before the theme parks reopen to the general public on July 11th, so that you’ll know what to expect for your first time back!
Splash Mountain
So far, we’ve talked about rider switch, refillable popcorn buckets, and a bunch of other important stuff you’ll want to know before you go! And while you probably know by now face masks must be worn at all times while visiting Disney World, you might be wondering if you have to wear them on water rides.
Walt Disney World is reopening this week and we’ve been scoping out all the new health and safety procedures during a few park previews.
Mobile Order Pick Up Area
Disney has increased sanitation frequency to all high-touch areas like handrails and attraction vehicles. These changes beg the question: “Are topping bars still available for guests?” We stopped by Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe and Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe in Magic Kingdom to find out! [Read more…]
A lot has changed in Disney World this year — even pin trading!
Pin Traders
Pin trading is a pastime that many consider a staple of Disney fandom. Disney pins have been around for a while, but in 2000 pin trading started up officially in the Disney parks! To celebrate the 20th anniversary of pin trading, there was supposed to be a trading event this August 22nd and 23rd. Now, due to the global health crisis, the 2020 Pin Trading Event will be held online!
