food IS a theme park
We’ve gotten big news on fireworks, masks, and more today, and we need to stop for a SNACK!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
The recently reopened Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness Resort next door are some of our favorite spots to head for an unexpectedly tasty treat. We’ve tried some delicious coffee and some summery eats…and now we’re back for a brand-new treat.
UPDATE: All rides have returned to their normal operations.
Heads up if you’re in Disney World right now!
Magic Kingdom
We’ve seen severe weather before in the parks, and it looks like we’ve got some more rolling in now. When storms arrive, particularly with heavy lightning, we can see rides or forms of transportation in Disney World go down temporarily. And that’s exactly what we’re seeing right now for ALL 4 Disney World theme parks. Let’s take a look!
LOTS of changes are happening at Disneyland Resort today.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
The parks opened to out-of-state guests, temperature checks have been suspended, and face masks are no longer required for fully vaccinated guests (in most circumstances). And of course, we’re at Disneyland Resort to check it all out for ya.
SO much is happening right now at Disneyland. It wasn’t even that long ago when the resort reopened, but since then, we’ve also seen the reopenings of several restaurants, and the grand opening of Avengers Campus!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
But updates continue to happen at Disneyland and now there’s been a HUGE update about who can actually visit the parks!
It seems like Disney World is undergoing constant changes these days.
Cinderella Castle
Today, the mask requirement ended in most circumstances for fully vaccinated guests, and we got news that fireworks are returning to the parks SOON. But as safety policies continue to shift, we’ve noticed an important change on the Disney World website.
As of June 15th, the state of California has fully reopened its economy, effectively ending most pandemic-era restrictions on businesses and in public areas.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
It was previously announced that temperature checks would no longer be required for Disneyland Resort guests or Cast Members beginning on June 15th. Out-of-state visitors are now allowed inside the parks, and masks are no longer required in most cases for fully vaccinated guests. With updates to the health and safety protocols now in place, we headed out to Disneyland Resort to see these changes in action.
Beauty and the Beast is one of Disney’s most iconic movies.
Beauty and the Beast Topiary
From the movie, we’ve got an immersive restaurant, a themed bar and lounge, beautiful dresses, and even a live-action remake! This year is the original film’s 30th anniversary, and we have some exciting news for all the Beauty and the Beast fans out there! We knew a series featuring Gaston and LeFou was in the works, but now we know, it’s officially a GO! Check out what we know about the series so far.
LOTS of changes are happening over at Disneyland!
Disneyland
Beginning today, there are BIG shifts in safety policies, and the parks have reopened to out-of-state guests. We also learned that fireworks will return on July 4th! But we’re not done just yet, because we’ve got MORE reopening news to share with ya.
We got some MAJOR Disney news today.
Cinderella Castle
As the parks continue with their phased reopening and safety policies are reduced, more experiences are returning. And that includes FIREWORKS! Both Happily Ever After and EPCOT Forever are returning to Disney World on July 1st — and as you can imagine, it’s gonna be a prettyyyy popular day to visit. So we’re bringing you a quick Park Pass reservation update!
Who’s in the mood for some COFFEE?!
Starbucks
We certainly are! And when we get a caffeine craving, one of our favorite places to head is the Starbucks in Disney Springs. They’ve often got seasonal sips, and today, we’re trying 3 NEW ones.
