food IS a theme park
It’s a fun spring break season in Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
We spend a LOT of time walking around the Disney parks making sure YOU know everything that’s going on. Over the last few days, we’ve made some visits to Magic Kingdom and now we’re bringing you an update on everything new in food, construction, and merchandise. Let’s get going!
Certain experiences remain unavailable in Disney World due to limited operations.
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique
High-touch, high-contact activities are currently suspended — and that includes Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, which is closed until further notice. But if your little one is interested in a princess makeover, they can still get one (whaaat?!). You’ll just have to travel a short ways away from the castle!
Spring is in full swing in the Disney World parks, but summer is just around the corner. If you’re still planning the details for a summer vacation to Disney, your schedule may have just gotten a little easier!
Hello, beautiful!
When looking at the Disney World website today, we saw that they had released more park hours for June!
At any given time, a few Disney World rides are bound to be closed for maintenance or refurbishment.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
And if you’re planning a trip to Disney World, you’re gonna want to know ALL about what will be closed! That’s why we’re keeping ya in the loop here at DFB. And today, we’re bringing you our weekly refurbishment update for April 5th through 11th!
Visiting Disney World in April?
Tower of Terror
Spring break may be wrapping up, but the parks are still gonna be crowded into April — and Park Pass reservations are filling up fast! Disney’s been in the habit of extending their hours week by week, and last we checked in with ya, those hours were extended through April 17th. But now, more hours have been added for the following week!
March certainly did NOT go out like a lamb when it comes to Disney World crowds! Spring break is in full swing and from the looks of the park hours and Park Pass Reservation availability, it’s showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon!
Spaceship Earth
With April 4th being a holiday, we may expect to see some additional crowding at the beginning of the week. If you’re heading to the parks for the week, be sure to read up on all the latest planning info below!
You used to really only be able to get Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge merchandise if you were IN Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World or Disneyland.
Kylo Ren in Galaxy’s Edge
Over the past year though, Disney has released some Galaxy’s Edge merchandise to select stores outside of the parks AND online. Recently, we shared that a whole new batch of Galaxy’s Edge merchandise would become available online soon, and the day has officially arrived. Get ready to swing over to the dark side with the latest round of Star Wars gear!
We’ve spotted our share of Disney merchandise fails — sometimes, even Disney just can’t get it right.
Spaghetti Stitch Line
Seriously, we’ve seen it all — from misspelled door hangers to a cringe-worthy Single Rider t-shirt. We’ve even seen a Stitch plush with terrifying red eyes.
Thinking of traveling soon? Already received your COVID-19 vaccine?
Flying to Orlando?
We’ve already talked about how more individuals in Florida and California will soon become eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, and how you might need a vaccine passport for travel and more this summer. But now we’ve got an update from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding domestic and international travel for those who are already fully vaccinated.
ICMYI: Lamplight Lounge has officially reopened at Disney California Adventure, as part of the A Touch of Disney ticketed event!
Helloooo From Pixar Pier!
We’ve been making our way all around A Touch of Disney, but we were especially excited to FINALLY get to stop by this restaurant again. We’ve already brought ya a full review (lobster nachos, YUM!), but we couldn’t help but stop by again to show you the drinks up for grabs on their secret menu.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
