food IS a theme park
The global health crisis continues to be a challenge for the travel industry, especially for Disney, which temporarily closed its theme parks all over the world. Although most have reopened, Disneyland in California has not.

California’s response to the global pandemic, in particular, has kept many attractions in the state closed, although the Walt Disney Family Museum did have the opportunity to reopen on November 5th.
It’s hard to believe that Disney’s Tangled is now 10 years old, but we’re all for celebrating everything Rapunzel!

In case you missed it, Fantasia is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year!
Sorcerer Mickey at the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival
And that’s important because that’s the movie that gave us one of Mickey Mouse’s most recognizable looks – Sorcerer Mickey! So we’ve loved seeing all the celebratory Fantasia Sorcerer Mickey snow globes, mugs, bags, and more!
One of the most fun parts of a Disney trip is seeing our favorite characters in person!
Characters!

The holiday season is well underway in Disney World — and the crowd levels are starting to reflect that, too!
Holiday decorations in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Since Disney increased its park capacity to 35%, we’ve noticed larger crowds and parks reaching their capacity limits! Lots of guests flock to Disney to celebrate the holiday season and we definitely don’t blame them — everything feels so festive around this time of year!

The character cavalcades in Disney parks are a really fun way to catch some of our favorite characters — sometimes unexpectedly!
Holiday Character Cavalcade!
Characters can be spotted in the holiday cavalcade in Magic Kingdom, festive flotillas in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the EPCOT character promenades, and character motorcades in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! These characters often bring a smile to our faces, so we love seeing them parade around the parks. Today, however, we noticed that one of our favorites was missing!
Since Disney World’s reopening in July, dining and shopping locations in the parks have been gradually reopening to begin welcoming guests again.
Magic Kingdom
We can get pretty excited when another dining option reopens — because we LOVE to eat! That’s why we’re excited to share that another spot in Disney’s Animal Kingdom has reopened!
