food IS a theme park
Upon reopening, all of the Disney World parks are operating at reduced capacity, and guests are required to secure a Disney Park Pass reservation to enter.
Walt Disney World
For the most part, we’ve encountered manageable crowds and wait times at the parks, although Disney’s Hollywood Studios has regularly felt more crowded. But, spoiler alert, that’s NOT the park that stresses us out the most during the weekend.
We’ve seen some BIG changes in Disney World since reopening that have greatly altered the parks as we once knew them.
Magic Kingdom
Since Disney World has been continuing forward with its health and safety initiatives, high-touch surfaces have been reduced in the parks and capacity has been limited. Mask requirements, temperature checks, and more are completely new, but there have been some big virtual changes as well.
We’re super excited for the day we finally get to take our first ride on TRON Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom!
TRON Lightcycle Run Construction
We’ve been keeping a close eye on the progress we can see from the ground while we’re visiting the park. And now, we’re checking in with another update on how the TRON construction is moving along!
As the plethora of new Halloween merch suggests, summer will soon be coming to an end!
Mickey’s of Hollywood Display
Fall flavors have already made their way to Disney World — if you’re a fan of pumpkin spice, now is your time to shine! But there’s still time to send off summer in style. And what better way than with a limited-time specialty cocktail??
The EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is all about the great snacks (melty cheese for days), but it’s also an excuse to try as many beer flights as possible in the park.
A Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
Since the Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, we’ve really been missing those flights since they haven’t been around at the booths. But, GOOD NEWS! We found the one place you’re actually able to get a beer flight during the festival (cue the Hallelujah chorus).
Looking for some delicious BBQ in Disney World?
The Polite Pig
Then you’ll definitely want to check out The Polite Pig in Disney Springs. While their regular menu has tons of fantastic options, we just spotted its new Chef’s Special and it looks super yummy!
There’s been a LOT of construction around Disney World since the parks re-opened, from the constant updates of the EPCOT Transformation to the TRON Coaster coming to life!
Swan and Dolphin Resort
We’re seeing plenty of hotel projects move forward as well, like the new addition to the Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort, a Marriott property situated within walking distance to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Disney World.
We’ve been keeping our eye on the construction ever since the news dropped back in 2018 that the 14-story tower was being added. Today, a few updates have been revealed about the new hotel structure, which recently added its top floor!!, including a new name and an opening timeframe!
We were heartbroken to hear of the passing of Chadwick Boseman after his courageous battle with colon cancer.

While many fans have loved him as Marvel’s Black Panther, Chadwick was truly a star both on and off the screen. Later tonight, ABC will be celebrating the legacy of Chadwick Boseman with a special presentation.
While Disney incorporates some AWESOME technological features into its parks, mishaps and glitches are bound to happen at some point or another.
The Cinderella Castle Moat is Full!
Recently, we’ve seen Rise of the Resistance shut down multiple times, a Splash Mountain log flume boat sink, and a few other problems around Disney World. But, today, it looks like the Disney World app — My Disney Experience — is having a few technical difficulties of its own!
We’ve had some seriously fantastic food around EPCOT recently.
l’artisan des glaces in EPCOT’s France
From new special edition macaron sets to a deliciously cheesy treat at a Food & Wine Festival booth that opened this weekend, our taste buds have been having some serious fun! Recently, we spotted another new seasonal treat and it’s berry good!
