food IS a theme park
We’re checked in to the reopened Disney World resort hotels today to see what we can learn!
Grand Floridian Lobby
With all of the health and safety protocol changes we’re seeing in the resorts today, we have a few specific questions. For one, can we still get groceries delivered to our Disney World resort hotel?
We’re coming at you LIVE from the reopening of the Disney Vacation Club Resort hotels in Disney World!
Disney’s Riviera Resort
So far we’ve covered dining, shopping, swimming, and MORE at these reopened hotels (we even caught a glimpse of the PINK Cinderella Castle!). As we’ve been reporting around the resorts, there was one common trend that honestly surprised us a bit!
Now that select Disney World Resort hotels and restaurants have reopened, we’re here to check out the experience and report back!
Grand Floridian Cafe
We headed to Grand Floridian Cafe to see how the new restaurant procedures are being implemented. Let’s take a look inside!
You’ll find Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC in The Landing area of Disney Springs.

And you know what you’ll find inside this nook that’s chock-full of vegan, allergy-friendly goodies? You’ll spot some NEW cupcakes in the bakery case, that’s what! [Read more…]
Select Disney World hotels reopened today and we’re LIVE with all the coverage! Be sure to follow along as we take you around the reopened Disney World Resort hotels! So far, we’ve checked out character dining, got an update on the transportation situation, and we even got a sneak peek at the PINK Cinderella Castle!
It’s Mickey!
Now, we’re exploring the changes that have been made to the overall shopping experience.
Will you be celebrating a special occasion on your next trip to Walt Disney World?
Celebration Button
A birthday, perhaps, or an engagement? Maybe your trip is in honor of a milestone anniversary… or are you planning your very FIRST TRIP to Walt Disney World? If so, then you may be looking forward to picking up one of the iconic BUTTONS that let everyone know YOU’RE CELEBRATING! [Read more…]
Select Disney World resorts have reopened today! We’ve already used online check-in to bypass the front desk and we’ve also explored the new Mobile Dine Check-In feature using the My Disney Experience app!
Hi Mickey From Afar!
But now it’s time to go for a quick dip (it IS summer, after all!). That why we’re slathering on our sunblock, slipping on our flip flops, and are heading over to our resort’s pool to check out the scene!
We certainly have been curious about how Disney would handle drink refills after reopening!
Star Wars Tumblers
This probably doesn’t come as a shock to you, but we have our fair share of Disney World Resort Refillable Mugs. The Refillable Mug Program helps to get you free refills for a limited time (sometimes with a specific expiration date, sometimes for the length of your stay). But how do refillable mugs work now that the hotels have reopened with new health and safety features?Â
We are live today from Walt Disney World, where select Disney Resort hotels have reopened to guests ahead of the reopening of the theme parks which will start with Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom on July 11th followed by EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios on July 15th.
Disney’s Riviera Resort
Our morning started at Disney’s Riviera Resort, including a Character Breakfast with Mickey and a few more of our favorite pals at Topolino’s Terrace and, of course, a stroll around Disney World’s newest Disney Vacation Club Resort. [Read more…]
While most character dining is suspended in Disney World, Topolino’s Terrace — Flavors of the Rivera is the one location currently offering a modified character dining experience.

And, while we know there will be a number of changes to the dining experience, including a limited menu, we stopped by Topolino’s Terrace to see what it’s actually like on reopening day!
