food IS a theme park
We’re just a few days away from two new restaurant openings at EPCOT!
EPCOT is getting two new restaurants!
Space 220 opens up on September 20th and La Crêperie de Paris joins the France Pavilion on October 1st. We already got a look at the new crêperie during previews for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, but we’re incredibly excited to eat in “space” next week. Today, we got a fresh look inside the restaurant as some of the first guests got the chance to dine!
Hello from Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
One of our favorite things to do is hang out here among the trees, animals, and delicious food (of course!). We like to go to the parks often to check out any new things or updates to old things, so come along with us and we’ll show you what’s new in Animal Kingdom!
The 50th Anniversary is getting closer and closer every day!
October 1st is a BIG day!
We’re just about two weeks out, and Disney World is quickly preparing. We’ve seen all kinds of decorations go up around the resort, from banners to sculptures to brand new signs and we’ve spotted some filming a few times in the parks. Today, one of our readers spotted camera crews again, but there was something special about the “celebrity” they were recording!
Haunted Mansion Holiday recently opened in Disneyland, and now guests can enjoy a The Nightmare Before Christmas-themed version of Haunted Mansion.
Haunted Mansion Holiday
Sometimes the line for Haunted Mansion Holiday can get really long, largely because it’s a temporary ride overlay available only from September 3rd through January 9, 2022. Now Disneyland Magic Key holders have a special opportunity to ride Haunted Mansion Holiday, and if you want to avoid a big line, here’s your chance!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is home to some of Disney World’s biggest rides, like Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and Tower of Terror.
Sunset Boulevard
We got some big news today about the virtual queue at Rise of the Resistance and how you can still skip the line with Disney’s new system. But what else is new at Hollywood Studios this week? Let’s find out! [Read more…]
Hello there fellow snacker!
The Popcorn!!
Are you a fan of grabbing all kinds of tasty treats while in EPCOT? Perhaps you too are a fan of the signature caramel popcorn and the oh-so-delicious pumpkin cupcake at Karamell-Küche in EPCOT’s Germany pavilion? If the above applies to you, then there’s a BIG update you need to know about.
Hello, DFB friends! We’re here with more of what’s new at Magic Kingdom.
Cinderella Castle
We’ve been seeing more and more 50th anniversary statues pop up, new Cinderella wreaths, and even a favorite treat return. Now we have another 50th anniversary item to share and more progress toward Disney launching the Genie+ program!
Ever wanted to ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance WITHOUT a Boarding Group?
Rise of the Resistance
We’ve seen Rise of the Resistance open to guests without a boarding group very rarely, but other than that boarding groups have generally been required. Soon, however, things will be changing. How will these upcoming changes potentially impact the situation with the NEW, paid FastPass-like systems Disney will be rolling out soon? Here are our thoughts.
If you haven’t yet visited Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs, you’re missing out!
Gideon’s Bakehouse
Gideon’s Bakehouse, located in The Landing of Disney Springs, is known to Orlando locals and tourists alike for their nearly half pound cookies, cakes, and more, and today they posted on Instagram about an extremely limited treat they have for TODAY ONLY! So if you’re in the neighborhood and in the mood for some chocolate, you’ll want to see this.
We’re just a couple of weeks away from the premiere of Harmonious, the long-awaited new nighttime spectacular at EPCOT! The show will officially debut on October 1st as part of the kickoff of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration.
