food IS a theme park
Park hopping returns to Disney World this week and that’s a pretty big step back towards a more normal Disney experience.
Monorail
With guests being able to go between parks again starting January 1st, Disney also announced that park-to-park transportation will return as well. BUT, one very big staple of park transportation is not set to return at the start of 2021.
Gideon’s Bakehouse has entered their soft opening stage in Disney Springs and let’s just say we’ve had a LOT of cookies (and we’re not mad about it).

But, there’s so much more than just cookies at this spot. There’s also cold brew coffee and giant slices of cake. You can even buy CUPS of FROSTING from Gideon’s! But, aside from their food, their Disney Springs location also has a mysterious backstory that we’ve been following for quite some time, and today we got a bit more of the story behind some of the portraits that are featured inside their store!
2020 has been a year, and we are all VERY ready to celebrate the end of it and welcome in 2021!

And even if you can’t get to Disney World for New Year’s Eve (which is going to be a LOT different this year anyway), you can bring Disney World to your home to celebrate in your own special way. And we’ve got some tips on how you can do that!
The bubble is set to come back, you guys!
NBA Barbershop Beyond the Big Blue Wall
This summer, the NBA came to Disney World to finish the 2019-2020 season. The players lived in Disney World Resort hotels and had their own “bubble” with loads of amenities, including a barber shop. They played their games at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex, and once the season was complete, the bubble came down and Disney resorts reopened. Now, it looks like the bubble will soon be back for another round, because the NBA G League is expected to come to Disney World.
Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve and there are plenty of ways to ring in the new year with a bit of magic!
Strawberry and Champagne Cupcake
If you’ll be in Disney World, you can check out some specialty 2021 food, participate in activities at the Disney hotels, and more! But, what if you’ll be celebrating this year from home? Well, if you were looking for some festive entertainment, Raglan Road is bringing it straight into your living room with a live stream of The Irish Show!
