food IS a theme park
Disney World recently sent out guest surveys about the parks and announced new precautions for future visitors.

Although Disney World is still closed until further notice, analysts predict the parks could be open as early as July.
Who out there among us isn’t feeling a little EXTRA-indulgent these days!

In fact, not sure about you guys, be we’ve taken to storing some snacks between our couch cushions so that we don’t have to get up as much (and the kids and pets haven’t caught on to us yet!). WE KID, WE KID!
As our Disney World Table Service Throw Down came to a close, we couldn’t help but think back to a time in a previous bracket when the world seemed to spin right off of its axis!

That’s why we’re gonna examine five common issues that, even to this day, still confuse some self-proclaimed Disney World experts — even US!
Because ranking the lands of Magic Kingdom by its snacks wasn’t torturous enough for us, we’ve decided to do the impossible yet AGAIN!
Animal Kingdom
That’s right — we’re going to delve once more into these strange, uncharted waters of ranking all the Disney snacks we love for sheer entertainment purposes ONLY! (We not-so-secretly love most of these snacks, so it’s too hard to choose!) Let’s see how the rankings work out for all the lands in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
One thing we’re sure about in the midst of this situation is that we WILL return Disney World! Eventually.

Disney World has been closed since March 16th, and the park gates will remain shuttered “until further notice.” But just in the last few days we’ve seen a LOT of updates and confirmation about what Disney World will be like when it reopens.
Disney Springs will begin Disney World’s phased reopening on May 20th, and Disney World has confirmed that guests will be required to where face coverings. Disney World has also confirmed that rides, attractions, and other experiences may be modified or closed in order to protect guests and cast members during the theme parks’ reopening phases. And the Walt Disney Company has also stated that they are currently considering using more virtual queues and implementing more modifications like capacity limits in the parks when they reopen.
So with all of these changes, we asked our readers if we should even go to Disney World when things are so topsy-turvy. Here’s what they said.
