food IS a theme park
We LOVE A good EPCOT festival.
Flower and Garden Festival
Right now, we’re still enjoying the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays and we’ve got our sights set on the soon-to-start EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. But now, we’ve got NEWS from the 2021 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival! Ooh!
Disney has now announced the dates for the 2021 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival!
Flower and Garden Festival
Since it began in 1994, the Flower and Garden Festival has become a highlight of Spring in Walt Disney World. And since last year’s festival was cut short due to the extended park closure, we’re looking forward to the return of the Flower and Garden Festival in 2021!
Recently, Disney held its Investor Day conference and shared SO MUCH info about SO MANY new Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, Disney live-action, and Disney animated shows and movies, along with new Nat Geo content and updates on Hulu shows as well!

Basically, it was an entertainment OVERLOAD. And while some of the new things announced will premiere in theaters, MOST of the announcements related to shows and movies of all kinds coming to Disney+. It was a LOT. So, today we’re breaking it down for you and sharing ALL (yes, ALL) of the shows and movies discussed during Investor Day that are coming soon to Disney+!
Just over a month ago, Disney announced that Park Hopping would be coming back to Walt Disney World at the start of 2021 in a modified way.

The new system has quite a few rules and requirements different than the old way of Park Hopping you may be familiar with, one being that the ability to Park Hop is not guaranteed — instead, it’s entirely based on park availability (a.k.a. you might NOT get to hop if the parks are full). But, getting a ticket with the Park Hopper option is more expensive than a regular 1-day, 1-park pass. Will that additional cost be worth it for you under the modified system? Here are our thoughts.
It looks like it’s time to add yet another pair of Minnie Ears to our collection!

Yesterday we found out that the Disney Parks Designer Collection of ears would be getting a little bit bigger with the addition of the new, designer Minnie Ears from BaubleBar! Well, get ready to get shopping because these ears are officially available online!
Many reopened Disney restaurants have opened with slightly different menus or a completely new menu. But we have yet to see a restaurant serving up SEVERAL items from another closed restaurant in the park — until now!
Tomorrowland Terrace Reopening
Sure, you can grab Ronto Wraps or Chesire Cat Tails in a new place now, but we’re looking at Tomorrowland Terrace because it seems to be serving up quite a few old favorites from Columbia Harbour House! The restaurant just reopened today with this new menu, and we had to see how it compared to the original.
Disney World Park Hours have been changing quite a bit lately.
Cinderella Castle
Well, if you’re headed to Disney World for New Year’s Eve or planning to be there on January 1st, when Park Hopping begins, you’ll want to be up to date on the latest park hours to make sure you plan accordingly. Today, we noticed that park hours have been extended for the first few days in January!
The Walt Disney Studios at Disneyland Paris has been undergoing a huge transformation! With updates like a new Marvel-themed hotel, an Avengers campus, and a Cars attraction, we’ve been keeping track of the progress. And, today we got a look into the rethemed tram attraction!

So, rev up your engines because Disneyland Paris just released a VIDEO sneak peek into the upcoming Cars Route 66 Road Trip attraction!
We may not be able to walk the streets of Disneyland Paris right now, but Disney is giving us even MORE inside looks at the ongoing projects around the park.
