7 Things Disney World is Doing for the First Time This Year

Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? Even though Disney World just celebrated its 50th Anniversary in October 2021, the parks are far from dated!

We’re ZOOMING into 2022!

While some of these new changes are EXCITING, a few readers have shared some less-than-thrilled opinions on some other Disney World updates. From new attractions to crazy new foods, let’s take a look at seven things Disney World is doing for the first time this year!

When it comes to planning your trip to a Disney Park, there’s one unpredictable thing that could seriously impact it — the weather.

Disneyland’s Storybook Land Canal

When it comes to the weather, Disney has very little control of how things play out. For example, we’ve seen storms shut down rides at Disney World. But now, Disney’s West Coast park, Disneyland, is under a different kind of weather advisory.

Hello, 2022 EPCOT Festival of the Arts!

2022 Festival of the Arts!

It has been a busy day for us over here covering EVERYTHING that went down at the first day of Festival of the Arts! Between an insanely long line for a popcorn bucket that turned into the next meme/charity fund and some of the strangest food combinations we have ever heard of, we’ve seen some things this weekend. One of the things we’ve been seeing a lot of is art! (We’d hope so, given the name of the festival and all.) This piece in particular is as shiny as it is pricey!

When Disney World first announced that a Figment Popcorn Bucket was coming to the EPCOT Festival of the Arts, we knew it would be popular. However, we don’t think we knew the half of it!

Figment Popcorn Bucket

Because that popcorn bucket debuted yesterday with the festival, and guests were standing in a LONG line waiting HOURS to get their hands on a little Figgy of their own. HOURS, folks.

By Carly Terzigni 4 Comments

Back in 2019, we learned that Spaceship Earth would close for a lengthy renovation, which would ultimately result in new scenes, updated technology, and a new storyline! (Remember when THAT was the biggest thing we were all worried about? 2022 us is laughing at 2019 us! 🤪)

By Robin Burks Leave a Comment

To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.

We’ve seen A LOT of health and safety guidelines at Disney World change since the parks reopened after their unprecedented closure due to the COVID-19 global pandemic in 2020.

EPCOT Mask Sign

For example, we’ve seen temperature checkpoints removed from park entrances, physical distancing measures reduced throughout the parks and resorts, and more.

Masks have been mandated in some capacity since Disney World first began its phased reopening and, as CDC guidance has evolved, so have the mandates. So, let’s recap the past few years and go over the timeline of Disney World’s face mask requirement.
