food IS a theme park
We’ve been hopping around Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom during Cast Member and Annual Passholder previews this week.
Expedition Everest
Some attractions are missing major scenes while others have remained about the same. Every attraction is receiving extra sanitation and most are spacing out seating to create distance between travel groups. We headed to Expedition Everest at Disney’s Animal Kingdom to experience the thrill ride under the new conditions. [Read more…]
Florida can be a pretty steamy place — especially in the summer!
Magic Kingdom
In addition to following all the new health and safety measures Disney World has recently implemented, you’ll want to make sure you’re still drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated in that blazing Florida sun! Now that masks are required to be worn at all times while in the theme parks except when eating or drinking, you may find yourself feeling even hotter and thirstier than normal, so you’ll want to take those water breaks frequently!
Almost a week ago, some Disney World Annual Passholders who had opted to postpone their payments until the end of the closure noticed something rather strange.
The Enchanted Tiki Room During Magic Kingdom’s Annual Passholder Preview
A bizarre processing error had occurred and many Passholders were unexpectedly charged for all four months of the park closures AT ONCE.
We’re just a few short days away from the reopening of Disney’s Hollywood Studios on July 15th.
Rise of the Resistance
We know we’re not alone when we say we’re pretty excited to ride Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge again. Initially, Disney had announced that the Virtual Queue would NOT be returning. However, Disney just announced that Rise of the Resistance WILL be using a MODIFIED Virtual Queue when Hollywood Studios reopens.
From its rosy-colored flower beds to the newly refurbished Cinderella Castle, our trip to Magic Kingdom yesterday was a rhapsody in PINK!

And now we’ve just learned that a new pair of Designer Ears will be dropping tomorrow featuring our new favorite hue!
Love all the retro dresses from the Disney Dress Shop? shopDisney just released another dress that will never be erased from our core memories!
Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff in California Adventure Park
We recently found a Jungle Cruise dress worthy of an adventure and a devilishly adorable Maleficent dress. We now have a Pixar-inspired outfit that has made us EMOTIONAL. [Read more…]
Disney’s Swan and Dolphin Resort
And we’ve been able to confirm guests who choose to stay at this Marriott-owned property will have the same access to Disney Park Pass to make their theme park reservations as Disney World guests!
While we haven’t spotted very many new MagicBand styles lately, new ears have been popping up everywhere like the Pin Trading Minnie Ears and the new Black and Gold Sequined Minnie Ears which feature an even sparklier bow!
Black and Gold Minnie Ears
But after searching Disney Springs high and low, we’ve finally spotted a TWO new MagicBands!
Walt Disney World’s EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios is gearing up to reopen next week on July 15th.
Italy Pavilion in Epcot
EPCOT’s Italy Pavilion will reopen along with the rest of the World Showcase. While most pavilions are opening, not all restaurants and food kiosks will be available to guests. We’ve just confirmed two more Italian dining experiences to add to our list of available restaurants at EPCOT. Plus, the hours that all three Italian restaurants will be open for guests! [Read more…]
Have you been following along with the story of the FuelRod chargers? We’ve got some interesting updates to the saga!
FuelRod Station
Once upon a time, there was a portable charger called FuelRod that charged guests a one-time fee of $30 and promised guests Free Unlimited Swapping when visiting locations like Walt Disney World or Disneyland. FuelRod decided to change the policy and implement a $3 charge every time a guest decided to swap out their charger.
This caused a user to file a Class Action Lawsuit claiming that FuelRod used false advertising given the promise that users could always swap their chargers for free. Disney FuelRod locations temporarily lifted the charge, but now they’re BACK with an entirely different FuelRod policy!
