food IS a theme park
A Disney World ride has reopened EARLY!
Tree of Life
Sometimes, Disney will shut down an attraction for some spiffying up. That’s what happened to Kali River Rapids, which closed in January for its typical winter maintenance. It was scheduled to reopen on April 2nd (and that’s what Disney’s official refurbishment calendar still says!), but shh: we’re gonna let ya in on a little secret. Kali River Rapids is ALREADY back open!
If you haven’t been to Disney World since the parks reopened, then you may be in for a shock when you show up.
Disney World
With new health and safety measures and lots of changes to the parks in general, things look a little different. However, the thing that has perhaps changed the most is the way that you ENTER the parks! There are several new steps, processes, and systems in place for park entry at Walt Disney World, and it can be kind of confusing to navigate them all! But today, we’re breaking it down!
You don’t have to be in Disney World to be decked out in Disney clothes and accessories!
Even your headphones can be Disneyfy-ed
Whether it’s enjoying our morning cup of coffee in a Disney mug or carrying around our essentials in a Disney bag, we love finding new ways to add some Disney into our everyday routine. And, if you can normally be found listening to music, we found a Disney accessory for you!
We’re gearing up for Disney World’s 50th anniversary this year, and it’s got us thinking about other celebrations in the parks.
Cinderella Castle
Mickey’s 90th birthday celebration seems like forever ago, doesn’t it? But guys, it was just THREE years ago, in 2018! And while we’re getting pumped for the park transformations and ride openings for Disney World’s 50th anniversary this October, we wanna take a trip with ya down memory lane. We dug up the cutest video, and we’ve GOT to show you.
We may not be able to visit Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto or Trader Sam’s Tiki Terrace right now, but Trader Sam’s fans HAVE been treated to quite a few new merchandise items over the past few months.
Trader Sam’s Tiki Terrace, Come Back to Us!
We’ve spotted a Trader Sam’s purse, a Trader Sam’s nautilus tiki bowl set, and MORE. Today, we spotted ANOTHER new Trader Sam’s item, and much like the others, this one was selling out FAST!
We have hopped right into the Easter season at Walt Disney World and have been spending our time trying the tasty (and ADORABLE) new snacks and hunting for GIANT Easter Eggs both inside and outside of the park!
So. Many. Easter. Baskets.
And, for those of you who are planning to wake up on Easter morning and head into the parks, Disney has made sure that the Easter Bunny makes a stop at your hotel to fill up the kiddos’ baskets. But did you know baskets are NOT just for children?? Neither did we! Well, get ready moms and dads cause Disney got YOU covered this holiday season. And you better get ready because it’s BOOZY!
We’re takin’ a trip wayyy back in time today.
Japan Pavilion
You may know EPCOT for its amazing food and exciting upcoming attractions — but there’s a lot to learn from the park, too! Over in World Showcase, you can travel around the globe and visit 11 countries. In each, you’ll explore unique merch and learn a ton! So today, we’re hopping over to the Japan Pavilion for a mini history lesson (but don’t worry, it’s actually REALLY interesting!).
We’re anxiously awaiting more news on Disney World’s most anticipated resort, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser!

The new experience will be unlike any other Disney resort hotel, as guests will be aboard a “ship” (the Halcyon) for two days with only one port stop in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, very similar to a cruise. Guests will be able to participate in interactive stories and dress the part throughout their stay. It sounds VERY unique and we anticipate many (including us!) will be eager to try it out. Problem is, progress has been SLOW! We decided to reach out to our followers to see what YOU think!
Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park are both set to reopen on April 30th, 2021. So far, we’ve taken a look at California’s updated theme park reopening guidelines and more details about the future reopening.
Disneyland Will Be Open Again Soon!
But soon, some regulations that could impact the reopening will likely be changing.
We’ve been taking you ALL OVER Walt Disney World recently, to search out some of those famous Disney details!
Can you see MICKEY?!
Now, some of these little gems — like Hidden Mickeys or even Hidden Remys — are simply subtle secrets for keen eyes to discover. But today, we’re doing a little bit of the reverse of seeing if you can spot a hidden detail amidst a larger setting. Instead, we’re showing you a Disney detail and YOUR job is to see if you can guess “Where in the WORLD” it is! [Read more…]
