Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at EPCOT!
And, we’ve got plenty of construction, food, merchandise and crowd updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
It’s a BIG day in Disney World. 2020 is officially over!
In the past, New Year’s Day has been one of the busiest (if not THE busiest) day of the whole year at Disney World. It’s pretty common to see the parks hit capacity on a normal year WITHOUT 2020 capacity limitations. Today…not so much. We’re checking out the CROWDS and WAIT TIMES on the first day of 2021!
In case you haven’t noticed, it’s finally 2021! We spent all day in Disney World today checking out what this New Year has to offer, including the modified return of Park Hopping!
With the holiday season now officially behind us, we wondered what we would see today in terms of the parks returning to “normal,” so to speak. We’ll miss our beloved gingerbread treats and cheerful music, but all good things must come to an end, we suppose!
We’re BACK at the Most Magical Place on Earth. And no, we’re talking about the Magic Kingdom!
We’re talking about Gideon’s Bakehouse. A legitimate cookie haven that serves 1/2 pound cookies the size of your face. We’re in love, we’re in love, and we don’t care who knows it! Ok, we won’t get too ahead of ourselves. They’re good cookies, but we still have a lot to say about them! Today is the first day of the month and that means a NEW cookie was released at Gideon’s. The bakehouse will release limited-time cookies every month for guests to try out. We headed back to CookieLand, USA to review the newest cookie and taste a few more surprise items!
Park hopping is much different than it used to be.
We’ve had some time to get used to the new park hopping system, and feel pretty confident in our ability to…well, park hop! Those who haven’t visited the parks since 2019 may not recognize park hopping, as it’s changed quite a bit. The rules for hopping between parks, or even just getting into the first park of the day, are different. But don’t worry if this is all new to you — we’ll walk you through a day of park hopping!
Main Street, U.S.A. just doesn’t look the same without a big bunch of Mickey balloons.
We were strolling down Main Street today after a day of park hopping adventures when we spotted something a little different about the Mickey balloons floating above us. Are those special celebration balloons we see?!
Welcome back to another Disney online merchandise roundup!
We saw lots of great things in the park this week, like 2021 ears and some cool new pins, not to mention a HUGE after-Christmas sale on the holiday merchandise! There’s surely a lot to see in Walt Disney World, but we also noticed the arrival of some equally spectacular Disney products and items online. Let’s check ’em out!
Many Disney fans are making their first return trip to Disney World since the pandemic-related closures in 2020. If this describes you, then you are going to find many things changed in Disney World, and one thing that’s important to know for your trip planning is that Park Hopping works differently today!
When Disney World first re-opened in 2020, Park Hopping was suspended. The option to “hop” between Disney World parks returned in 2021, with a few modifications. We’ve been Park Hopping ever since, and we have the answers to ALL your questions!
Collectors! We’ve got some good (and very adorable) news.
We’re sure you’re wondering why you haven’t seen those CUTE Mickey and Minnie plushes in U.S. Disney stores before. Well, you’ve collected Wishables and Tsums Tsums, now meet your new potential obsession — Disney nuiMOs!
We’ve said it already today, and we’ll say it again…HAPPY NEW YEAR!
But although 2021 isn’t even one day old at this point, at least one counter service location in Disney World is VERY ready to get a move on into the New Year. We found a Valentine’s Day Cupcake up for grabs — yes, ALREADY! — at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort! [Read more…]
