food IS a theme park
We’ve been excited about the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ride since it was first announced!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind construction
Let’s just say we’re ready to ROCK the galaxy (because that’s what the construction walls around it say). We’ve been following the construction and LOVED the sneak peek at the ride vehicles! While we don’t have an official opening date for this ride yet, progress and construction are visibly moving forward.
We’re starting to think that Winnie the Pooh might be on the most Disney merchandise.
Pooh wants to catch the honey bees, obviously
There are crockpots, Dooney & Bourke bags, and, of course, TONS of plushes. And, BoxLunch is certainly contributing to the overload. Among all the things we’ve seen them release throughout the years, they have lunch boxes, LOTS of backpacks, crossbody bags, and scrunchies (seriously!). Heck, even some other friends from the Hundred Acre Wood have gotten their own bags! Just when we think they’ve made every kind of Winnie the Pooh bag design, then comes another! And, they’re STILL not done!
You can snag ALL kinds of great Disney merchandise online, including some of the latest pairs of Mickey ears!

We’re celebrating a Disney ride’s big birthday this year!
Expedition Everest
Okay, yes, 2021 is also Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary. But today, we’re focusing on a wild ride over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Ya know, the one that gets you all up close and personal with the Yeti? That’s right, next month is Expedition Everest’s 15th birthday! And to celebrate, we’ve got some brand new merch to show you.
Heads up, brunch fans (and that includes us)!
Brunch is the best meal of the day…
You know we love a good brunch option in Disney World. And Homecomin’ has just updated their hours, meaning we have even more time to brunch it up at this spot!
In just a few days, guests will be able to shop, dine, and walk around in Disney California Adventure Park through a special ticketed event called A Touch of Disney.

During the event, guests will get the chance to dine at some signature spots in this park, including Carthay Circle Restaurant Alfreso Dining and Lamplight Lounge. Earlier today, reservations opened up for Lamplight Lounge, but things seem to be a bit…stuck.
Disney is constantly making changes to how it socially distances guests throughout the parks.

And plexiglass is a whole SAGA. Moral of the story: Disney seems to be moving towards seating every row on rides. The slower rides tend to get a plexiglass shield between those rows — think Frozen Ever After or Living with the Land. The speedier rides don’t. And in Disney’s Animal Kingdom today, we noticed another attraction was getting that plexiglass makeover.
It’s beginning to look a lot like springtime!
Butterfly Topiary
With spring break crowds rolling in this week, warm weather in Florida, AND the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, we are embracing the new season. It looks like Vera Bradley is too, because they just released a brand new Disney pattern that is PERFECT for spring!
Preparations are well underway for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations, which start this year on October 1st.

We’ve already seen 50th anniversary decor added to Cinderella Castle, and we’ve gotten a peek at how the other park icons will look in celebration of the 50th. Well, if you’re planning to visit Disney World for the start of the 50th Anniversary celebrations, one thing you’ll want to book QUICKLY are your Park Pass reservations, as more Park Passes around that time have started to fill up!
Do you know which restaurants book up the fastest in Disney World? Or do you know how early you need to decide if you’re building a Lightsaber in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge?
