food IS a theme park
We’re continuing to follow the progress on the Jungle Cruise’s reimagining in Disney World!
Jungle Cruise
This classic ride is getting a brand-new story line and characters, and we’re slowly seeing the project take shape! Most recently, scenes were being removed as that iconic rhino scene got a refresh with our new animatronic cast. And now, we’ve got another update!
Mickey Mouse and his pals are great examples of the power of friendship!
Mickey and Goofy
We love seeing the gang come together for adventures like on Minnie and Mickey’s Runaway Railway. And Donald, Pluto, and Goofy are some of our favorite characters to see around the parks. The classic Disney characters have been friends for as long as we can remember, and now, you can win a chance to be in a photography series inspired by them!
You’ve booked your Disney World trip, you’ve made your park pass reservations, and you’ve made your advance dining reservations, so what’s next? Well, you probably need to start thinking about what you need for your trip!
Cinderella Castle
But where to even begin? Well, we’ve tackled visiting the parks a zillion and one times and we’ve put together a list of must-have items that you’ll want to put in your suitcase when you start packing. These are all tried and true items, too, and you’ll thank us for making sure that you’re as prepared as possible to have a magical trip!
Since Disney World reopened about a year ago, a LOT has changed regarding health and safety measures in the parks.
Mickey Face Mask
For a while, there were tons of different policies to keep up with, but since the COVID-19 vaccine has rolled out across the country, health and safety measures have started to dwindle down. We’ve seen the removal of temperature checks, physical distancing markers, and face masks outdoors, but there’s a new policy starting today — Disney World guests no longer need to wear masks in most locations.
Halloween is coming up in Disney World!
It’s almost Halloween! Kinda.
We’re eagerly anticipating Boo Bash, the After Hours ticketed event that will replace Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. We’ve already taken a look at how these events compare, and we’re ready to try the sweet treats, see the character cavalcades, and other spooky surprises we’ll encounter. And if you’re planning on attending, good news. Tickets are now on sale for the general public!
When Disney World first reopened after the pandemic-related closures, many things changed.
There are so many hidden details on this ride!
To help people keep a safe distance from one another, social distancing markers were placed throughout attraction queues, guests were loaded onto some attractions differently than they used to be, and pre-shows were generally being skipped in rides, like at the Haunted Mansion, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, and more. BUT, today we noticed a big change particularly when it comes to pre-shows over at Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway!
Disney+ has been a force in the streaming world since it launched in fall of 2019.

We’ve seen major blockbuster films release on the platform (for an additional charge) like Mulan, as well as critically acclaimed original series like The Mandalorian. Today, we got an update on how the streaming platform is doing from Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Chapek himself! Check out what he had to say about the future of Disney+.
Several restaurants will soon be reopening throughout Disney World including ‘Ohana, Sebastian’s Bistro, and others.
‘Ohana Will Be Reopening Soon!
We’ve already shared a look at the menu that will be served during dinner at ‘Ohana, including a BIG update on the noodles situation. But, what about ‘Ohana’s breakfast menu? Today we’re sharing all the details with you about what items you’ll be able to enjoy at ‘Ohana during breakfast when it reopens!
We love Disney decor to brighten up our homes!

The EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is just around the corner, people!
EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Cup
The festival starts in just over a month on July 15th and will run through November 20, 2021.

And we spotted a few new booths pop up today around EPCOT, take a look!
