food IS a theme park
Okay, so y’all know we are ALL about some Dole Whips at Disney World, right? There’s a reason this classic snack has been around as long as it has, after all!
Dole Whip
BUT…we’ve found that there’s so much MORE to Dole Whip life than the classic Pineapple Soft Serve most Disney World guests usually get. In fact, we’ve unlocked a whole world of Dole Whip flavor combos that might even make you forget about just having the classic pineapple. And now, we’re sharing some of our favorites with you!
So much has happened at Disney World recently and it can be hard to keep track of all the changes! But that’s why we’re here, to make sure you stay updated.
Frozen!
So in case you missed it, you’ll no longer have to do a temperature check when entering the parks. You’ll also be able to walk around outside without a mask (with exceptions). Also, at least one ride has already removed its plexiglass, and we’re starting to see shows at Disney World seat more guests.
While we whole-heartedly believe that every Disney World theme park and resort has some stellar food and drink options, there’s no place that steals our food-loving hearts quite like EPCOT. Between the countless dining locations around World Showcase and its four festivals throughout the year, it can sometimes feel like you can go several lifetimes and STILL have new snacks, beverages, and meals you have yet to try!
Just another beautiful day in Disney!
With all of that in mind, there’s a unique NEW dilemma you may encounter in EPCOT that you might not even be thinking about!
What a weekend, right? We’ve seen SO many changes at Disney World over the past few days.
One Man’s Dream
Temperature checks are no longer being done at the entrances of the parks. The plexiglass on a very popular attraction has been removed. Masks are no longer required outdoors (with some exceptions).
Planning a Disney World trip can be tricky!
Main Street, U.S.A.
After you figure out your hotel and Park Pass reservations, you’ll want to make dining reservations for the sit-down meals you’re hoping for. And you don’t need us to tell ya that can feel impossible sometimes! We’ve given you plenty of tips to help you snag those hard-to-get Advance Dining Reservations, but sometimes, they fill up before you can grab a spot. Luckily, we’ve got a pretty cool trick for you to try!
No matter how much you’ve planned ahead for your Disney World trip, sometimes you just need to run an errand. Or an emergency strikes.
Cinderella Castle
While Disney offers plenty of amenities (there’s even a [very] mini “grocery store” inside many Disney hotel gift shops!), sometimes you’ve gotta venture off-property for some reason or another. We like to think Disney World has it ALL but…that’s not 100% true. And if you need to run an urgent errand, we’ve got you covered! Here’s where we recommend you refill your gas tank, run out for groceries…well, you get the point.
Lace up your sneakers for another new Disney-themed workout!

If you’re ready to get your run on, look no further! We recently learned how to train like Rapunzel and Tiana, now get ready to race like Lightning McQueen with this new Pixar-themed run training. Whether you’re training for a 5K or squeezing in a daily run, Disney’s got you covered. [Read more…]
We haven’t seen a full fireworks show in Disney World for OVER a year now.
We Totally Miss This View!
When Disney World reopened after the park closures, fireworks and a number of other offerings were temporarily suspended, and fireworks remain suspended to this day. Do you think fireworks will return by the end of 2021? We reached out to our readers via Instagram to see their thoughts and their response was pretty clear!
It’s been quite the day at Disney World!
Guests at Disney World after new mask policy
Temperature checks are no longer required to enter the park. The plexiglass dividers on Tower of Terror at Disney’s Hollywood Studios are gone. More guests are being seated during the A Celebration of the Festival of the Lion King show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. And guests are no longer required to wear face masks while outdoors (with some stipulations).
We don’t know about y’all, but we spent a lot of the last year doing a LOT of online shopping. Seriously, it was like Christmas every day at our houses when new packages arrived!
