food IS a theme park
Calling all movie stars! Welcome back to Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Hollywood Studios
We’re back in the park to see what’s new since our last visit. So let’s check out the latest updates from this lovely theme park!
If you’ve been wanting more time in Magic Kingdom at Disney World, then you’re in luck!
Cinderella Castle
Since Disney World reopened, park hours have been more limited than they were before. However, Disney has extended park hours several times over the last few months, and now Magic Kingdom’s park hours have been extended again!
The Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts just kicked off and we’ve eaten A LOT of goodies lately.
Chicken and Mushroom Pie
There’s one dish that stood out today…and it has nothing to do with the festival! We were strolling by our favorite fish and chip joint in EPCOT and noticed a placard for the Chicken and Mushroom Pie. Ummm. Chicken and mushrooms stuffed in a puff pastry? Don’t mind if we do!
Walt Disney World has been open for nearly 50 years now!
Magic Kingdom
After 50 years, things can wear down and need to get replaced or touched up. Recently, we’ve seen several attraction refurbishments and paint jobs getting done around the parks. One such replacement happened over at Pirates of the Caribbean.Â
Disney World has extended a bit of uplifting magic to three children’s hospitals in Central Florida.
Disney’s Reimagining of Children’s Hospitals
Last year, Disney announced the company would reimagine the hospitals with familiar characters and playful features. Disney has given us a look a the interactive technology and art that have been installed at AdventHealth for Children, Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, and Nemours Children’s Hospital.
Disney has been putting in WORK on the virtual reality (VR) front.
VR Experience
It feels like every few weeks we’re seeing Disney file a new patent for creating virtual immersive experiences. Whether it’s limiting VR hardware to be more usable or developing zombie-fighting aids, there’s a BIG focus on VR right now. Now, Disney has made a new innovation that could help us to TOUCH those VR environments.
The Disneyland theme parks have been closed since last March, and have yet to receive a reopening timeline or date. During this time, Annual Passholders have received automatic extensions on their passes and monthly payments have been put on pause.
Disneyland
Now, we have breaking and important news for Disneyland Resort Annual Passholders.
If you have a hankerin’ for some bar bites, burgers, and more when you’re in Disney Springs, City Works Eatery & Pour House is ready for ya!
City Works Eatery & Pour House
In fact, this West Side sports bar is making it even easier for you to get some good grub on the go with the debut of online ordering! While City Works is most certainly a prime candidate for a great place to relax for a spell (and even catch a game on one of the 17 HDTV’s), this new option is available for guests looking for takeout dining.

HELLO from EPCOT’s simply stunning China pavilion!
Shanghai Milk Candy Bubble Tea in EPCOT’s China Pavilion
It’s here where you’ll find the Joy of Tea kiosk as you stroll along World Showcase. This somewhat small spot serves up some delightful surprises. (Tipsy Ducks in Love, anyone?) And today, we’re picking up the Shanghai Milk Candy Bubble Tea to review for you as we make our way around the world! [Read more…]
It’s for another menu update one of our favorite Disney World restaurants!
Oak-fired Filet of Beef from California Grill
The California Grill is a signature restaurant located at the top of Disney’s Contemporary Resort. It offers sweeping views of the Magic Kingdom and a fine-dining menu. The restaurant reopened with a limited menu and we’ve seen this menu change twice since then. A few more changes have been made since our last update including the addition of rich desserts and new entrees!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
