food IS a theme park
EPCOT’s Germany Pavilion has many wunderbar wonders, from Biergarten to caramel popcorn from Karamell-Küche to all of the tiny residents at the garden train display!

And if you love this area as much as we do, then the shirts and merch we spotted at EPCOT this week is PERFECT for you!
From tie-dyed everything to tees that are so unbelievably ’90s that we forgot we’re in the 21st century, Disney is REALLY leaning into the retro-inspired merch these days.Â
And Disney World’s run of bright colors and bold prints has no end in sight, except this time, we’re traveling back in time to the 1980s!
If you’re visiting Disney World during the summer months, there are a few extra must-haves to bring with you if you plan on staying DRY during your vacation! When it rains, it pours in Central Florida, and you probably don’t want to get caught in the rain without the proper gear.

But who says you have to sacrifice fashion in order to stay dry? We stopped by BouTiki today in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to scope out the latest goodies, and we discovered the PERFECT park must-have for the rainy season!
As Disney Parks worldwide continue their phased reopenings, policies have been updated to reflect current guidance from health experts. Recently, we shared the news that Disney World updated their face mask policy, which now bans face masks with “valves, mesh material, or holes of any kind.”

In an unsurprising move, Disneyland also updated their face mask policy to reflect this change, effective immediately.
Occasionally we find some SUPER cool new AR tech that catches our eye. Recently, we’ve found out how we might use the force in an AR environment and we’ve even seen Disney AR in practice with the Play Disney Parks app AR Mickey message!

Today, we spotted a way that Disney might use augmented reality to bring YOUR doodles to life!
When you go to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, getting a boarding pass for Rise of the Resistance can be a bit of a challenge. But when you DO get one, all that panic refreshing at 10AM or 2PM feels soooo worth it.

This massive Star Wars ride, however, is quite technologically advanced, which means that it breaks down and experiences little glitches from time to time.
Disney has been kickin’ it old school with tons of new retro gear lately!

If you missed your opportunity to sign up for this spook-tacular Villains-themed runDisney event when it had its initial round of registrations, you’re in luck! More spots will be opening soon.
We love Disney fireworks shows — there’s just really nothing quite as magical.
Fireworks in Disney World
Whenever a NEW nighttime spectacular debuts, we’re always pumped to spot the new ways that Disney uses tech in these shows. We’ve been wondering about the addition of drones to Disney shows for a while now. We saw them used in Disney Springs a few years ago. And Universal used them recently as well. Some of the concept art for EPCOT Forever made us think we might see them, but it’s just really cool kites instead.
But don’t fear, Disney IS still working hard on ways to incorporate drones in live shows!
Who doesn’t love coming across a little gem while wandering the parks?
