food IS a theme park
Wow! Nothing like starting your Tuesday with a whole crop of Disney news!
Disney’s Beach Club
This morning Disney World has already announced a change to the Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group process and THREE (count ’em, three) resort hotel reopening dates. Here’s when a much-loved resort will be fully open again!
We’ve been anxiously awaiting reopening announcements for several Disney resorts for months now!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Some of Disney’s resorts have opened fully, like the Grand Floridian, while others are still only partially opened with the DVC sections operating. On top of that, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is currently under construction — undergoing a massive refurbishment to be completed next summer. We previously received an opening date for Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort, but now it seems as though that date has been pushed back!
When Disney World reopened earlier this year, after the park closures, several restaurants and hotels reopened with it, but many remained closed.
Wilderness Lodge
Over time, we’ve seen some spots reopen, but several are still closed. Today, however, Disney has announced when one fan-favorite resort — Disney’s Wilderness Lodge — will be reopening!
Rise of the Resistance remains an extremely high-demand attraction in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Rise of the Resistance
With a virtual queue in use, this Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge ride is one of the most challenging attractions to get a seat on in all of Disney World. Now, Disney is changing the distribution times for accessing the virtual queue AGAIN.
We’ll often see Disney raise prices in the theme parks. Sometimes, the increases are a few cents added to a Mickey pretzel, and other times, it’s a large increase in ticket prices. We can usually predict that Disney will increase prices at some point during the year. However, it’s no secret that this year has been anything BUT predictable!
Cinderella Castle
Walt Disney World had big plans in the making like the huge EPCOT overhaul including attractions, expansions, and an entirely new look. Many of these projects are pushing forward while others were suspended indefinitely. With all the changes, can we safely assume what items will increase in price and when? We’ve gathered a list of items that could see price increases in 2021, based on previous years.
Now’s your chance to get registered for the FINAL Star Wars Rival Run Weekend!

Due to the pandemic, Disney made the decision to cancel the 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend in March. And given the ongoing health concerns, the 2021 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend will be held virtually — and the event will be reimagined with a new theme in 2022. So, if you’d like to take part in the Star Wars Rival Run Weekend, you better run to the registration page ASAP!
When it comes to snacks in Disney World, there are LOTS of them!
Mickey Bar
Some snacks are meh, some are killer and must-eat, and others are just plain iconic to the Disney parks. We took to Instagram to let YOU battle it out between snacks, and we are shocked by some of the answers! We gave you some pretty difficult pairings to choose between, but let’s take a look at what the voters said!
Although Disneyland Paris is currently closed, we still have a lot to look forward to once it reopens!
Disney’s Hotel New York — The Art of Marvel
Disney’s Hotel New York — The Art of Marvel, is a new resort coming to Disneyland Paris that will incorporate the charm of New York with hundreds of pieces of Marvel artwork. We’ve been geeking out over the sneak peeks that we’ve gotten so far, and today we got to take another look behind the scenes!
Yes, hello, it’s us again, and we’re here to tell you about a very neat Disney patent!
Monorail
You know that we love to lurk in the Disney filings to see what new technology the Imagineers have in store for the theme parks and beyond. We’ve seen innovations with drones for nighttime shows and LOTS of virtual and augmented reality inventions. But wait ’til you see the latest Disney patent!
It may seem like we’ve tried EVERY holiday treat at this point…but we haven’t!
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
Disney continues to add little holiday treats here and there, and of course we have to try them! On our visit to Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, we found an adorable cupcake to put us in the holiday spirit!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
