food IS a theme park
New Disney World restaurants are a pretty big deal (as are new spots to get some sweet, sweet air conditioning in the Florida heat).

One current Disney project is going to accomplish BOTH! Roundup Rodeo BBQ is bringing table service dining to Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and we’re pretty darn excited. Despite presumably being delayed, we’re still hoping to check out this spot soon and now we’ve got a RARE look at the construction progress!
The global health crisis has upended the travel industry and resulted in the closure of Disney Parks globally during the spring. Although many parks have reopened (with some ultimately re-closing), Disneyland in Southern California remains closed.

Although Disneyland Resort did have the opportunity to open up some retail outlets and restaurants at Downtown Disney, as well as on Buena Vista Street in California Adventure, a recent stay-at-home order has put a limit on the capacity for stores, as well as a limit on restaurants to only offer take-out and to-go orders.
There are SO MANY construction projects going on at Disney World right now!
Guardians of the Galaxy Construction
We’ve been watching for updates on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and so many more ongoing projects. And while some projects may not be quite as exciting as a new ride or hotel, they’re still very helpful for improving Disney World as a whole. That’s the case with the project we got a glimpse at today — construction progress for the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC)!

Recently, Disney announced they’d be launching a Reigning Cats and Dogs collection, featuring cats and dogs from Disney media and including items for our pets! We didn’t expect the collection to arrive until December 28th, but today we spotted some items in Disney World!

Whether it’s through water art, taking unique photos, or creating other special moments, Disney World Cast Members make magic every day for guests. But, with the global pandemic, park closures, furloughs, and ultimately layoffs, many Cast Members have been seriously impacted by all of the changes this year brought to the world.
Sidewalk Art
Many have joined together to support Cast Members in need. One union representing Disney many employees, Local 737, started a food bank that has distributed much-needed groceries to Cast Members and their families. Recently we shared that the food bank was getting dangerously close to shutting down due to a lack of supplies. But, the NBA Players Association is now stepping in to help!
