food IS a theme park
Tri-Circle-D Ranch is one of the many things that makes Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort so unique!
Welcome to Fort Wilderness!
At Tri-Circle-D Ranch, guests can enjoy trail rides, pony rides, wagon rides, and carriage rides right in the middle of Disney World!
Earlier this week, we were truly shaken to our core when we found out The Polite Pig in Disney Springs was no longer selling the famous Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookie! THE HORROR!
R.I.P. Gideon’s Cookies at The Polite Pig!
Of course, we later found out WHY, and also much to our relief, The Polite Pig began offering its own replacement: hence the Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookie was born!
We noticed some really cool items at World of Disney in Disney Springs today — like these Drizella and Anastasia Pot Holders!

And one of our favorite finds is an Up-inspired journal that’s giving us allllll the feels!
The state of Florida has slowly but surely been reopening for a few weeks now.
Rainbow Mickey Face Mask
With Disney World set to reopen select hotels in just a few days, we’re keeping a close eye on government mandates for the area.
All of us are in the same boat as we await more details regarding Disney World’s plan for its phased reopening.

When it comes to hotels, Disney has only released information for the select Disney World resort hotels that will begin reopening next week.
We were really hoping Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’s new outdoor Shine Bar + Social would be opening with the rest of the restaurant today. Ever since we spotted construction on this secret project at one of our favorite Disney Springs’ spots, we’ve become a little obsessed!
Shine Bar
And while we had a marvelous time at Homecomin’s grand reopening (and maybe brought home a fabulous Chicken Print Face Mask or two with our doggy bag of leftovers) the new patio bar is only open for outdoor seating for the time being. Let’s take a peek at, anyways!
Select Disney World hotels are getting ready to welcome back guests next week and the theme parks are gearing up for their July 11th and July 15th grand reopenings!
Magic Kingdom
And according to a recent post on Unite Here Local 737’s Facebook page, we’ve just learned of a few more groups of restaurant Cast Members that are being asked to return to work.
According to a recent post on Unite Here Local 737’s Facebook page (one of the largest unions of Disney World Cast Members) another wave of callbacks for food and beverage workers has just begun!

And we’re picking out a few particularly tasty tidbits of information from the “teams” Disney World is asking to return to work!
According to a recent post on Unite Here Local 737’s Facebook page, we now know Disney has started calling even more Cast Members to return to work at Disney World’s theme parks and resorts.
Spaceship Earth
These Cast Members will join the union members Disney called back earlier this month in preparation for the select Disney World Resort hotels that are reopening June 22nd.Â
Disney World is working through a phased reopening. Some Disney Vacation Club resorts are set to open on June 22nd and the parks will follow next month. Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom will reopen on July 11th, and Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios will reopen on July 15th.Â
Disney World
With the return of guests, Disney will need to bring back many of their Cast Members. Some workers have already been called back to staff the now-open locations in Disney Springs and in preparation for the reopening of some of the resort hotels. Now, according to the Orlando Hotel and Restaurant Workers Movement, even MORE Disney World workers are being called to return to work soon.
