food IS a theme park
We are getting SO close to the first day of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration, so you can imagine how busy things are at the parks right now!
We’ve been to Space 220!
Most recently, we’ve attended the opening of the highly-anticipated Space 220 Restaurant, tried an ice cream margarita, and had a spicy hot dog. And although we’ve seen a LOT of menu changes and updates over the past month, we’ve still got more to share with you this week.
Hello, fall! Even if it doesn’t really feel like fall in Florida, we’re dreaming about the days of sweater weather, Halloween, and all things pumpkin spice!
We love it here.
Yes, there’s just something about those warm flavors that get us in the mood for October, so when we see new pumpkin spice snacks at Disney World, we’re going to try them out! Maybe that makes us basic, but that’s how we roll!
Disney World is making a lot of changes as they prepare to launch the new Disney Genie program.
Rise of the Resistance
One of the rides experiencing a lot of changes is Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. As of right now, there’s only one way to ride Rise of the Resistance, and you can probably expect it to take a LONG time.
If you’ve ever happened to see any of the beautiful chocolate sculptures done by the chefs at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, you would know that these chefs are not just amazing bakers, but also fantastic artists!
Grand Floridian
They’ve created some beautiful works of art out of chocolate with themes like Mickey and Minnie, Cinderella’s Castle, and more!
Step right up, we’ve got something to show you! There’s something different over at the Dumbo attraction in Storybook Circus. That tiny little mouse by Dumbo’s side seems to have flown the coop! Did he borrow Dumbo’s ears?!
Dumbo the Flying Elephant
While we were visiting Storybook Circus in the Magic Kingdom, we noticed that a familiar friend wasn’t where he belonged!
We have to admit, we love our Disney merchandise.
The Emporium
We probably have way too many Disney mugs, t-shirts, and Minnie ears. But if you’re reading this, we’re guessing you have your fair share of Disney items too! So we asked our readers an impossible question: Which Disney merchandise item would you SAVE if you had to choose just one? Here’s what you said.
Lately, we’ve been seeing something new every day in Disney World — especially with the 50th Anniversary starting soon! It feels like only yesterday we were anxiously waiting for the gold statues to debut in the parks, and now we’re tracking the installation of Lightning Lane signs and searching for refurbished park icons!
Hello from the Magic Kingdom!
Well, today is no exception! The Cinderella castle stage has been empty for a long time now (we miss those castle stage shows!), but it looks like the stage is getting a 50th Anniversary makeover to match the castle!
Over the past few months, there has been a whole lot of construction progress around Disney World!
It’s Fall in Disney World!
We’ve seen brand new shops open, restaurants debut, and tons of attractions have received a fresh coat of paint leading up to the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary. And, now that we’re only a few weeks away from the big party, we’ve got even more to share — so, let’s dive right in!
Anyone remember Relaxation Stations?
Relaxation Station
Relaxation Stations were a great spots to unwind and escape the busy theme parks! These were originally added when Disney World first reopened last year as a place for guests to remove their face masks, but they have since closed in each park. But, there are still places to relax in Disney World and we wanted to show you one of the best spots in Magic Kingdom!
Disney World is certainly a magical place, but it’s not perfect. Sometimes things happen.
Splash Mountain
We’ve seen Mobile Order go down, animatronics with missing hands, animatronics just missing, animatronics with weird faces, and more. We’ve also seen rides go down quite a bit, too, including the PeopleMover, and Splash Mountain, both at Magic Kingdom.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
