By Kylee Gano 2 Comments

Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom kicked off their grand re-opening last weekend! We were in the parks staking out what was new and missing from our favorite theme parks.

I Lava You Float

Most restaurants are offering limited menus due to the new re-opening procedures. With that, we noticed a lot of crowd-favorite snacks went missing!

MerchPass is now live and if you haven’t heard, it’s a new way that Disney is trying to even the playing field for shoppers. It’s also how they hope to reduce technical glitches. Customers will sign up and have a chance to be randomly selected to purchase the new Arendelle Castle Collection. We’ll show you how the new process works! [Read more…]

Here’s What Our Experience Was Like With Our Expired Tables in Wonderland Card in Disney World

By Kylee Gano 10 Comments

Update: We spoke with a General Manager Cast Member who confirmed for us Disney World is not selling new Tables in Wonderland memberships for the time being. We’ll provide more updates as soon as more information becomes available.

Walt Disney World has undergone a lot of changes since re-opening. We’ve seen limited menus, increased sanitation procedures, and many changes to experiences like rides and attractions.

Tables in Wonderland Membership Card

One of the most surprising changes was the cancelation of the Disney Dining Plan. Many guests rely on the dining plan to budget for their vacations. We were curious to see what the process would be like for guests who use the Tables in Wonderland dining discount card. Would Cast Members honor the discount for those of us whose cards expired during the closure? [Read more…]
