food IS a theme park
Good news if you’ll be in Disney World this weekend!
Who else is ready to walk right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A.?
Park hours in Magic Kingdom and EPCOT have been extended! We just saw Park Passes get refilled, and now hours are getting a little adjustment, too.
You guys — SO much information was announced for the A Touch of Disney event coming to Disney California Adventure!
You’ll soon be able to enjoy some classic Disneyland food again at California Adventure!
This event will feature classic Disneyland food, including Dole Whips and churros, but will also see the reopening of some restaurants, such as Lamplight Lounge. So what eats can you expect? We’ve put a list together with every food spot that has been confirmed for the event so far!
Last year, we got to enjoy the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, but a few things were different or missing.
International Food and Wine Festival
One of the biggest things that was missing was the Eat to the Beat Concert series. The concerts were unfortunately canceled for last year’s Festival. Also, other similar events at EPCOT’s festivals — like the Disney on Broadway Concert Series that usually takes place at the International Festival of the Arts — have not taken place since the parks reopened after the COVID-19 closures.
The 2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is still several months away and we really haven’t gotten details about it yet. But, we have found something that might give us a clue about the future of the Eat to the Beat Concerts at this year’s Festival!
WOW. Are we pumped for the A Touch of Disney event or what!?
Downtown Disney
Disney just announced a TON of new information about the upcoming ticketed event INSIDE Disney California Adventure — A Touch of Disney. Not only will it feature characters and restaurant reopenings, but the event will have a special SOUND as well.
Another Disney resort just got a Cast Member costume makeover!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
It seems like one by one, all the Disney hotels are getting new Cast Member costumes. We’ve seen new looks at Disney’s Polynesian Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge…the list just keeps going!
We were wondering how Disney would celebrate Disney California Adventure’s 20th anniversary. And, it turns out, they’re going all out in true Disney style and inviting guests BACK into the Disney Park in a new way.

Beginning March 18th, 2021, the park will reopen to guests for a ticketed event —Â A Touch of Disney! During the event, you’ll be able to reunite with some of your favorite Disney snacks like Dole Whip, churros, and even the Monte Cristo Sandwich. On top of that, there will be NEW merchandise, a NEW soundtrack, AND some opportunities to say hi to a few Disney characters you’ve missed! Before we get caught up in talking about all the food and dining, let’s talk about exactly WHO you can meet when you’re BACK at Disneyland.
Your go-to Disney World outfit might include comfy shoes a Disney-themed shirt, a pair of ears, and some shorts. But, for other guests, a Disney outfit involves SO much more.
Animal Kingdom
We’ve seen some pretty awesome Disney looks, especially during things like Dapper Day. But, today we spotted some of the most AWESOME guest outfits in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Let’s just say this group knew that adventure is out there.
Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure have both been closed since March of last year, and they’re both expected to be closed at least for a little while longer.
Balloons by Carthay Circle on Buena Vista Street
Last year, however, Downtown Disney did reopen at Disneyland Resort. And later, Buena Vista Street in California Adventure reopened as an extension of Downtown Disney. But, soon guests won’t be able to stroll through Buena Vista Street…at least not for free.
We’re getting EXCITED for the sequel to Spider-Man: Far From Home.

The movie was delayed until December 2021, but that doesn’t mean we’re not getting our Marvel fix with hits like WandaVision! Plus, we’re getting pretty excited for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Loki. But now, we’ve got a Spider-Man update! The title for that much-anticipated third film was JUST announced.
We’ve been anxiously awaiting more details about the upcoming special ticketed event at Disney California Adventure!

The A Touch of Disney event will reopen almost all of California Adventure for shopping and dining, although rides won’t be included with the experience. But guests can expect to get reunited with some of their favorite Disneyland food! Today, Disney shared details on pricing, event dates, and more for the event. And we now know that a highly anticipated location is reopening as well.Â
