food IS a theme park
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has some exciting new experiences on the way!
Tree of Life
We’ve been celebrating Easter all around Disney World with sweet treats and seriously impressive egg displays, but you may have forgotten about another special occasion comin’ up in April! Earth Day is April 22nd, and Animal Kingdom is celebrating with a whole bunch of Earth Week celebrations.
Calling all Frozen fans! If you’ve missed seeing our favorite sisters in action, you might want to check out a new, online Frozen event.
Anna and Elsa showing some sisterly love!
In preparation for Siblings Day, Disney has released a new YouTube series that lets us hang out with our fave sisterly duo, Anna and Elsa! We can’t wait to see these two celebrate family and show us that “Love Is an Open Door!”
Just a few days ago, we spotted some brand NEW pastel rainbow ears in the Downtown Disney District in Disneyland Resort.
The NEW Pastel Rainbow Ears!
And it seems that the rainbow has now stretched its way across the U.S. and over to the East Coast. If you’re looking for the new pastel rainbow ears in Disney World, we’ve got all the details here!
The shops on Main Street, U.S.A. are playing musical chairs!
Main Street, U.S.A.
As Walt Disney World prepares for its 50th anniversary celebration, we’ve seen all kinds of work being done around Magic Kingdom. But on Main Street, U.S.A., some spring cleaning is taking place, too! Main Street Confectionery just closed for a months-long refurbishment — and now, another shop has closed, too.
As the situation with the global pandemic continues to develop, we’ve seen a variety of changes made and other news announced.
Disney World’s Health and Safety Signs
So far, President Biden has indicated that the U.S. could have enough vaccines for all adults by May, and has directed states to make all adults eligible for the vaccine by May. California and Florida have already started to announce expansions in terms of eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine, and Dr. Fauci has indicated that COVID-19 guidelines could loosen by July. And, now we’ve got an update on “vaccine passports” and what you might need to travel or participate in certain activities in the future.
We’re a little over six months away from the beginning of the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebrations, and we’ve been seeing quite a few attractions close for refurbishment leading up to the festivities.
Preparations are underway for the 50th Anniversary celebrations!
Over at Magic Kingdom, Cinderella Castle has been getting some TLC with a new paint job, some fixes to the stage area, and even some new decorations. We’ve also seen a few rides undergo maintenance such as Mad Tea Party and Peter Pan’s Flight. And, the next item on Disney’s punch list is here and it involves the temporary closure of one of the sweetest shops in the park.
To all our runners out there — and your kids — we have a refreshing new recipe that might just hit the spot!

After having a big workout, it can be nice to kick back with a refreshing drink to recharge and reset. runDisney has shared a new smoothie recipe by Jamie Lee McIntyre MS RDN, GoGo squeeZ Content Contributor that sounds delicious and features one of our favorite green friends!
We’ve popped into Disney World’s WILDEST park a few times in the last week!
Pandora
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a pretty cool place to hang out. We love eating the food, riding the rides, and (of course!) checking in on the animals. Now, we’re here with a quick update on everything NEW in the park!
Disney and Coach have released some pretty amazing collaborations.
COACH Designer Ears
We’ve seen Coach designer ears, a Donald Duck line, and even a Star Wars collection! But this collaboration is a little more princess-inspired — and a special group (including you!) can score some major savings on the Coach Outlet website.
If you’re like us, one of your favorite parts of visiting Walt Disney World is all of the food!
One of our favorite views!
And, you don’t necessarily have to be in the parks to get a taste of your favorite treats and eats from Disney. That’s why we love sharing Disney recipes with you to try at home! While it doesn’t usually taste exactly how it does in Disney World (no matter how close you follow the recipe), there’s still something special about foods marked as “Disney” in our minds. And, for those who don’t want to try their hand in the kitchen, we’ve got a solution for you!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
