food IS a theme park
COVID-19 cases have been on the rise in Florida.

After the CDC updated its guidelines about wearing masks indoors, Disney World changed its mask policy to require all guests (regardless of their vaccination status) to wear masks indoors. This comes after COVID-19 cases spiked 800% last month in Florida, but now cases are spiking again.
Whether you’re on the hunt for some subtle Disney decor or you want to go all out and feel like you’ve walked into Magic Kingdom every time you walk in the door, there are a lot of ways to add a touch of Disney to your home.
So many mugs!!!
From holiday decorations to mugs and blankets to aprons, you can almost always find something to take with you that reminds you of your favorite Disney parks, movies, and characters. And, if you’ve got some big fans of Disney’s Frozen at home then there’s a new collection that you’ll want to check out!

There’s a bit of a wait, but as of today, Disneyland’s Magic Key passes are on sale. We decided to take a look at the Magic Key Access Calendar for blockout dates and park reservation availability so you can have an idea of what each Magic Key grants guests. Maybe you’re waiting to purchase or just trying to decide which Magic Key is right for you, so take a look!
Over the past several months, various Disney World hotels have reopened.
All-Star Music Resort
Most recently, we’ve seen Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort reopened, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is set to reopen soon. Another hotel that is set to join the “reopened” group soon is Disney’s All-Star Music Resort. But, recently something strange happened to our upcoming reservation at this spot.
Right now, Disney World’s most popular ride is Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance!
It’s a big hit at Disney World and Disneyland!
The newer Star Wars attraction is located in Galaxy’s Edge and is so popular that Disney uses a boarding group system to load guests. It can be pretty difficult to snag a boarding group when the parks are busy, and now the process has changed again!
Disney has released some incredibly fun board games that could be perfect for your next family game night.

We’ve seen a Marvel game all about villains, a beautiful “it’s a small world” game, and more! Now there’s a new Disney board game on the market and this one is exclusively for Disney Vacation Club Members. The game itself is based on a classic game you’ve probably played in the past, but it has a very unique DVC twist.
Recently, Disney announced that Disneyland Annual Passes are coming back in a new form, the Disneyland Magic Key! The new program has a multi-tiered price point and will offer a similar service as the old Annual Pass.

For those of you looking to grab a Magic Key, you’re in luck! We’ve got some great news for you!
UPDATE: Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run is back up and running again as of 4 PM EST 8/25/21.
Sometimes things don’t go according to plan in Disney World.
Weather closes locations
Rides can shut down, bad weather can impact your day, or you could be stuck on a ride or transportation. Today, a popular ride was evacuated in Disney World.
If you’re not a fan of change, buckle up! BIG things have changed or will be changing soon in Disney World.
Time to Visit Disney World
Paid FastPass+ replacement systems (Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selection) have debuted, the parks are celebrating the Resort’s 50th Anniversary, the Magical Express service has ended, and more. And with some of those changes come additional costs that you’ll need to factor into your trip. So, just what could it cost a family to “do” Disney World in 2022 in light of these changes. We’re breaking down what you need to know right here.
Whoever decided that Christmas was “the most wonderful time of the year” CLEARLY forgot about Halloween — especially Halloween at Walt Disney World! Don’t those festive fall decorations make you smile?
Happy Halloween!
Now that kids are starting to go back to school and summer is nearing its end, we’re getting ready for SPOOKY season! That means it’s time for some some haunted decorations, a new Halloween costume (it’s never too early to start planning!), and perhaps even a new fall wardrobe. One absolutely adorable Disney fall item is now available, but if you want to snag it you’ll need one important thing…patience.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
