food IS a theme park
While Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure are still closed and Disneyland’s hotels have asked guests through September 5th to reschedule, Downtown Disney, the Disneyland Resort’s shopping and dining district, is OPEN for guests!
Downtown Disney!
We took a little stroll through Downtown Disney to do a little shopping (duh!) and to see what’s new! Come along with us!
We literally do not have enough arm space to wear all of the fantastic new MagicBands we’ve spotted lately (but you know we’re gonna try)!
Figment Slap Bracelet MagicBand
So many characters and movies, from Black Widow to Black Cauldron, are getting their own specially designed MagicBands. And yes, Baby Yoda has one too. Now, we spotted another fun design has made its way to Disney World and it’s bow-tastic!
Ever since September of last year, Disney Skyliner has been taking us to new heights!
Disney’s Skyliner
Disney World’s newest way of gettin’ around will be celebrating its 1-year anniversary next month, and so far we’ve seen the Skyliner Toffee Flight Latte reappear at Joffrey’s (but this time at EPCOT) as well as some new Skyliner toys arrive in stores.
Move over, Jumanji! There’s a new adventure board game in town!
Jungle Cruise
Even though the live-action Jungle Cruise movie has been postponed until next year, a bumper crop of merchandise based on the classic Disney attraction has flooded the parks — including THIS new board game that will make you feel like you’re sitting in the Skipper’s SEAT!
Various aspects of The Walt Disney Company were and continue to be impacted by the global pandemic.
Magic Kingdom
Now, we’re hearing about one change that affected Disney and Fox Corporation executives directly that has already or will soon be going away.
It’s time to live your best PSL foam fantasy, people! This is not a DRILL!
We’re SAVED! PSL Season is HERE!
Let’s just say 2020 hasn’t been an easy year, but we’re almost through it! And getting up in the mornings is going to be so much easier now that our favorite Starbucks pumpkin drinks have just reappeared in EPCOT!
Walt Disney World has implemented many health and safety procedures due to the global health crisis.
Hand Sanitizer
And along with the new procedures, numerous hand sanitizer stations were installed throughout Disney World property.
However, even with the increased cleaning and added sanitizer stations, we still found ourselves reaching for our own bottle of hand sani throughout the day! We’ve been all over Disney World since the July 2020 reopening and discovered there are a few reasons why you might consider bringing your own sanitizer into the parks!
UPDATE: Since this post was originally written, the Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group process has changed quite a bit. Guests can currently grab a boarding group at 7AM and 1PM. To try for a pass at 7AM, guests no longer have to be in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. You can grab a pass from anywhere as long as you and your party have a Park Pass Reservation for Hollywood Studios. For the 1PM slot, guests must be in the park to get a pass.
What’s more difficult — getting a Boarding Group for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance or getting Splash Mountain merchandise?
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
Seriously, it may be more difficult to get Splash Mountain merchandise at this point, but getting a Boarding Group for Rise of the Resistance can be quite the endeavor. We recently got confirmation, though, of a new change that makes it WAY easier for guests traveling with friends or family to get a boarding group.
The new Oogie Boogie dress we found at the Downtown Disney District yesterday really put us in a SPIN!
Oogie Boogie Dress
Our minds were totally reeling when we saw its skirt — complete with the Gamblin’ man himself and a cute roulette wheel!
