food IS a theme park
When we say Southern Fried Chicken + Disney Springs, you probably immediately think of…Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ of course!
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’
Well, you might have had your fair share of delicious drinks, tasty Cheddar Cheese Drop Biscuits, and Hummingbird Cake, but the next time you stop by Homecomin’ you could get something totally different — a job.
It’s day 16 of March Magic!

We’ve been keeping track of allllll the March Magic deals that have shown up on shopDisney this month — and there’s been a new one every single day! We’ve seen free collectible keys, BOGO pins and masks, and more. Let’s see what we’ve got today!
2020 was QUITE the year.
Disney World
You may remember the day that you heard Disney World or Disneyland would be closing temporarily due to the pandemic — I know I do. And you might remember watching Shanghai Disneyland reopen, that park being the first Disney park around the world to reopen after the closures. But, did you remember that Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway opened in Disney World literally DAYS before the parks closed? Or that several new movies in EPCOT debuted in early 2020? SO much happened in just one year. And today we’re breaking it all down for you.
It’s that time of year when everything starts turning green at Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
No, we’re not talking about the plants, we’re talking about St. Patrick’s Day! Now, this holiday certainly doesn’t get the fanfare that Halloween, Christmas, and Easter receive, but Disney makes sure we still have a job by unleashing LOADS of green sweets upon the parks. And, it’s not a Disney holiday without some sort of tradition so we’re back to check out one of the boozier annual snacks!
Spring is coming and the Disney parks sure know how to celebrate!

Disney is launching a new event to bring in the season and we have to say, we’re pretty jealous. Dear Disney, what do we have to do to get you to bring your new springtime event to Florida?!
There are SO many places to stay during your vacation to Walt Disney World!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Disney has resorts for all price points across their value, moderate, and deluxe categories. If you’d like to go even cheaper, you can still enjoy the perks of staying on-site by booking a Disney Springs area hotel. For the more adventurous, Disney World even has its own campground, and if you’re looking to stay there, there’s a new deal that you can score!
Star Wars Day is coming up, and you might NOT get to spend it in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been notorious for hitting reservation capacity since Disney World reopened. Now, May the 4th is coming (Star Wars Day, get it?) and those reservations are already filling up.
Walt Disney World reopened in 2020 with some major adjustments due to additional health and safety needs. We’ve slowly seen hotels and restaurants reopen and ticket options come back but one of the missing perks that we have yet to hear an update on is a possible return of FastPass+.
Pandora is just so breathtaking! Good thing the lines for rides keep you there for hours 😉
Even with a reduced Disney Parks capacity, it can still be a challenge to ride some of the most popular rides. FastPass+ was a major perk for park guests in tackling some of these big-name attractions. Just to name a few there’s Flight of Passage, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Slinky Dog Dash, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Test Track, and Rise of the Resistance (though that’s a whole other ballgame we’ll get to in a bit!). If crowds are close to capacity, you can be stuck having to wait 60+ minutes in the socially distanced line with no option to skip the line. But, we’re here to tell you that it definitely is possible to ride ALL of these without a FastPass+. So, before you panic, just hear us out.
The Disneyland theme parks have been closed for over a year now.

For much of this time, Cast Members who were not affected by lay-offs have remained furloughed. Now, a new round of Cast Members are being recalled — and they’ll be back at work soon. What does this recall date mean?
When you go to Disney World for a vacation, it’s natural to want everything to go smoothly.
Jaw. Dropping. Beauty.
But unfortunately, sometimes things happen! Since so many aspects of your Disney World trip are now online or part of the My Disney Experience app, there are bound to be glitches and issues. We’re taking you through nine glitches that could impact your next Disney World vacation!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
