food IS a theme park
We’re just a few days away from the reopening of Hollywood Studios!
Hollywood Studios
Today, Disney held Cast Member Previews of both as-of-yet-unopened parks. We’ve been taking a look around EPCOT all day and now (thanks to a friend!), we’ve gotten a glimpse inside the preview of Hollywood Studios! Let’s check it out!
When we arrived at EPCOT for a special Cast Member preview today, little did we realize the 2020 Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival booths would also be underway (surprise)!
Food and Wine
We thought being reunited with Spaceship Earth and riding Test Track with a short wait would be about as exciting as our day would get! But suddenly we’re now hoofing it around EPCOT’s World Showcase to get you the full scoop on this year’s Food and Wine line-up!
EPCOT is preparing to open to the public on July 15th and is kicking it all off with a modified version of the International Food and Wine Festival.
Mexico
We’re tagging along with a friend at the Cast Members Preview and already getting a taste of what Food and Wine Festival has to offer this year. There have been some obvious changes like the reduced amount of booths and menu items. There have also been some additions like the Mac and Cheese booth and now a new digital guide with interactive features. [Read more…]
California has made a new update in its response to the global health crisis.
Hollywood Sign
Last month, we found out about the delay in the reopening of Disneyland in line with government and health officials’ guidance. California has been tightening regulations for at-risk counties with limitations on indoor operations. Now, in response to rising case numbers, California Governor Gavin Newsom just announced that certain sectors will see the closure of indoor operations statewide.
Is it weird to lose sleep over a giant geodesic sphere?
Spaceship Earth
Well, we tagged along with a friend for Cast Member previews of EPCOT and got to see inside that giant golf ball we all know and love today. And while there have been some changes made, we can tell ya Computer Lady is safe and sound! In fact, she’s not going anywhere for the time being! 😉
We’re out here at EPCOT today experiencing many things in the park for the first time in MONTHS!
Test Track
We’ve just arrived at the park and we couldn’t believe our luck when we saw Test Track was virtually a walk-on! Well, actually, we COULD believe it since wait times at Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom have been significantly shorter these days now that there are way fewer people in the parks. Let’s see what modifications they’ve made to Test Track since the last time we rode it, shall we?
If there’s one thing we look forward to every year, it’s EPCOT Food & Wine.
Hawai’i Booth
We were taking a gander at an almost-reopened EPCOT today at the Cast Member Preview (we were invited by a friend!). Much to our surprise, some of the festival marketplaces for the upcoming A Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival were OPEN! Take a look!
Disney is gearing up for EPCOT to reopen this week.
Sunshine Seasons
With the start of A Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and a ton of new health measures, we’re expecting some changes when we get back into the park. We’re even already seeing some changes! Today, we noticed the addition of the Mobile Order feature to a favorite EPCOT quick-service spot!
Depending on where you currently reside, several states have instituted travel advisories that could put your Disney World plans on hold.
Spaceship Earth
New York was one of the first places in America to enact one of these emergency orders which requires every traveler to self-quarantine upon entering (or re-entering) the state for two weeks after visiting a state with a high infection rate. And now, the New York Governor has just upped the stakes by implementing a new penalty for travelers who disobey his emergency order.
Disney+ subscribers who also happen to be Star Wars fans have a BIG reason to rejoice today!
