food IS a theme park
After the longest closure in Disney World history, the parks have now reopened to guests.
Main Street, U.S.A.
Upon reopening, the parks implemented a number of new safety measures for the health of both guests and Cast Members. These changes include reduced park capacity, Disney Park Pass reservations required for entry, face masks required for all Cast Members and guests age two and older, social distancing measures, and more.

We’ve found a TON of awesome Star Wars gear lately. From Loungefly bags to kitchenware it seems they’ve covered all the merch in the galaxy!
It can be tricky to get your kiddo to wear face masks all day long at a theme park, especially the littlest of travelers. With Disney World’s current policy stating that all guests ages two and up must wear face masks indoors and on most Disney transportation, it’s important to master the art of getting the littlest travelers to be comfortable.
Disney Cloth Face Masks
Some tricks that may work on your little one is to bring masks they will actually WANT to wear, as well as masks that are SUPER comfy. Here are ten types of masks (along with tips!) we’ve spotted so far that we think the kids will be more than happy with wearing indoors.
Summer days are driftin’ away and that means we’re dreaming of a day by the pool!
We Love Our New Monorail Towel!
If you’re in the same boat, then you need to stock up some pool gear! We already spotted the TOTALLY cool Monorail Towel in Disney World, but you can NEVER have too many Disney towels in your collection. That’s why we’re SO excited about the three NEW towels we found in Disney Springs today!
When it comes to conquering Disney World and making the most of your day in the parks, many guests would traditionally take advantage of “rope drop.” Not familiar? Each park previously would handle rope drop a bit differently, but basically it is the process of first opening the parks each day to guests or, for guests, the process of getting there EARLY to be one of the first people in the park.
The name is based on a literal rope being draped across the front of land entrances before they opened for the day. Sometimes Cast Members would stretch a rope in front of the park opening crowd and walk them back to the most popular ride, reduing the ability of guests to run to the most popular attraction, which is obviously dangerous for other guests and Cast Members.
What Rope Drop at Hollywood Studios looked like pre-closure
But now, in a reopened Disney World, is rope drop still even a thing? Is it still worth it to wake up SUPER early and be among the first guests to enter the parks each day? Let’s take a look at what our experience has been like since the parks reopened and share our thoughts!
As Hollywood Studios has opened again, we’ve been hopping on Rise of the Resistance and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run over and over again.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
And while it’s always a blast to visit Batuu, we’re also thrilled to read an entire world of new Star Wars content that takes us back to the beginning!
We’re stoked about these Marvel-ous new designs from Loungefly!

We’ve gotta hand it to Loungefly — they come up with some awesome designs! From classic characters like Winnie the Pooh to iconic attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean, we’re constantly finding new Loungefly bags to add to our wishlist!
We’re basically craving Disney snacks and treats all the time (even after we’ve had a bunch of them back in a newly re-opened Disney World)!
Disney Hand Towels
Although we’ve been back in the parks, we also have been excited to try our hand at some of our favorite Disney dishes in our own kitchens!
