food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Cloudy Day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
And, we have plenty of updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
Boy do we love a good ol’ McDonald’s Happy Meal!
McDonald’s on Disney property!
And we’ve seen some pretty cool Disney Happy Meal toys lately, inspired by Star Wars, Marvel, Raya and the Last Dragon, and even Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. But the newest ones are celebrating an up-and-coming Disney movie: Luca!
Today, BOO Bash tickets went on sale for Disney World hotel guests!

The Halloween After Hours event is being held on select nights from August 10th-October 31st this year, and despite the price of a ticket being significantly higher than for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, we’re seeing some MAJOR demand. This morning, the wait to buy tickets was almost 3 HOURS long. And now, we’ve got another update.
It has been quite the journey to watch the evolution of face masks over the past year or so. Remember when we were sharing tutorials on how to make a mask out of an old t-shirt? Those days may seem like an eternity ago, but here we are in 2021 with Disney World’s face mask mandates being loosened, allowing for optional face mask wearing outdoors.
New signage
If you were looking for another sign of the times regarding the changes in Disney World’s face mask policies and procedures, we spotted a new SALE today in the theme parks!
The Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is one of our favorite times of the year.
EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
Food and Wine is set to begin on July 15, 2021, and run through November 20, 2021. We already know the FULL list of food booths that will be at the festival this year and some of the featured entertainment. Now we’re getting a first look at some of the merchandise collections that will be featured at the festival this year!
Did you know that there are TWO entrances to EPCOT? One way in, of course, is at the main entrance by Spaceship Earth that most guests are familiar with. The other entrance is way in the back of World Showcase called International Gateway!
Welcome to EPCOT!
Both of these entrances are available to guests each morning, so today we thought we would start our day from the back of the park!
Disney World’s 50th anniversary is quickly approaching!
Cinderella Castle
There will be LOTS to celebrate, like transformations to all 4 park icons, the opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and new costumes for Mickey and Minnie. And if you’re looking to join the fun, Park Pass reservations have been refilled for a select group!
We’re experiencing a HOT summer in Disney World!
It’s gonna be a HOT summer!
And if you’ll be in the parks, you’ll want to prepare for crowds and pack plenty of sunscreen. But one of our top tips for staying safe in the summer is to make sure you stay hydrated. Disney offers FREE cups of water in the parks, and we’re here today with an updated guide on where to find ’em!
Happy World Ocean Day!
EPCOT
Disney World is known for celebrating LOTS of special occasions, from Pride Month to Fathers’ Day. And today, a time-honored tradition has returned to EPCOT for today’s unique holiday.
We’ve been seeing slow changes back to “normal” in Disney World.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Lately, park capacity has been increased, social distancing has been reduced, and the outdoor mask requirement has changed. We’ve also seen smaller shifts, like the removal of hand-washing stations and the return of self-serve fountain drinks. And now, we’ve noticed another change.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
