food IS a theme park
EPCOT is in the midst of a MAJOR transformation!

New attractions like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind are in progress. Plus much of the park is getting a new look. We’re especially excited to see Harmonious, the new nighttime spectacular — but we can’t say we’re happy about how those massive barges look in the water… .Â
ICYMI, Disneyland dropped a whole lot of news on us today, woo woo!
T-minus 24 days, Disneyland!
We now have a WAY better idea of how things are going to look once the park actually reopens on April 30th, including who can actually be there, and how they can get tickets.
As the global health crisis continues to impact the travel industry, we’ve seen the Disney Cruise Line and Adventures by Disney cancel many of their upcoming departures over the past year.

Adventures by Disney has suspended many of its trips and has continued to update its policies for those who have booked a trip or are planning for one in the future. Most recently, trips through March were canceled, but Adventures by Disney has shared another update to their schedule.
Welcome back to Magic Kingdom, DFB friends!
Cinderella Castle
We’re back with another update on everything new and exciting at Disney World’s flagship park. Let’s take a look at some new construction, merchandise, and more!
Disneyland shared a ton of valuable information today to those hoping to visit the parks following their historic year-long closure. Among the information shared included dates on when tickets will go on sale, as well as when guests can begin to make those required park reservations.

If you’re a Disneyland Legacy Passholder, you’re probably wondering what this means for your ability to visit the parks once they reopen. We wish we had great news to share with you, but it looks like things could get a bit bumpy over the next couple of weeks.
Ever since the global pandemic hit, health and safety measures changed and have continued to evolve in the Disney Parks and around the world.

The face mask policies in Disney World have evolved over time, capacity levels have changed, and travel policies have developed and been revised over the last year. But, with COVID-19 vaccinations becoming more available for many people around the country, health and safety policies may be changing again as more focus starts to be given to vaccine passports.
Disney World is constantly changing!

Sometimes we see those changes coming and sometimes we don’t. Last month, a few things definitely caught us off guard. Here are the three most unexpected things that happened in Disney World in March!
California continues to make adjustments to its COVID-19 regulations.
California Beach
Recently, we’ve seen changes made to the state’s reopening guidelines as over 20 million vaccines have been administered. Now, California is beginning to look towards life post-pandemic, as they anticipate fully reopening the state.
In the last year, we’ve seen a lot of “sprucing up” going on around the Walt Disney World parks, but especially in Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle getting work done for the 50th Anniversary.
Cinderella Castle got a new paint job and now she’s getting additional decorations for the 50th Anniversary. We also noticed repainting happening at the parking entrance for the TTC and several classic attractions are getting golden touch-ups. Today, we spotted another place in the park where there’s some painting going on, and we took some photos to share with you!
The phased reopening of Walt Disney World continues! And, we’re especially happy to see more dining locations and options become available once again.
Olivia’s Cafe
Just a few weeks ago, for instance, Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort opened again to guests (along with its restaurants, of course). And while Olivia’s Cafe has been open for awhile now, this hidden gem of a restaurant at Disney’s Old Key West Resort has recently reinstated brunch at Olivia’s Cafe. (And, may we say… YUM!) In fact, if you’re planning on kicking back at Old Key West yourself, then you need to know about ANOTHER quick-service spot reopening to guests!
