food IS a theme park
When Disney World reopened last summer, much had changed about the parks.
Welcome to the Magic Kingdom
The parks introduced a new mask requirement for guests over 2 years of age (a policy that continues to evolve), temperature checks, social distancing, and limited capacity. Also, park pass reservations were required for entering the theme parks.
It’s been over a year since the Disney parks were closed due to the global health crisis.

Now, the reopened theme parks are still operating at limited capacity, but those limits may grow as more people are vaccinated. Health concerns constituted a major drop in demand for travel, so how is a return to normal demand levels looking?Â
There are a LOT of things going on at EPCOT.
EPCOT
As part of the EPCOT Transformation, new rides, restaurants, and experiences are coming to this park. On top of that, EPCOT has already gotten new flags, new entrance music, and new nighttime lights in its entrance area, AND Leave A Legacy has returned in a new, colorful way! Soon, Spaceship Earth will also have a new nighttime look and we’ve got a special peek behind-the-scenes at part of this new look right here!
Flexibility has been the motto of the Walt Disney Company over the past year.

And, not just in the Disney Theme Parks. Last year, Disney not only had to face the closure of Disney World and other parks around the world, but they also had to plan for the release of new movies as theaters closed or reopened at a limited capacity. They’ve chosen to release some movies, like Soul, directly to the Disney+ streaming platform, while others have been released both in theaters in and on Disney+ for an extra fee, like Raya and the Last Dragon. So, what is the situation for movie releases moving forward?
