food IS a theme park
Though the Downtown Disney shopping district has begun a phased reopening, Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure, and the Disneyland hotels have delayed their reopening and have yet to announce a reopening date.
Downtown Disney!
Now, Disney has an update for guests who were hoping to visit in August.
Loungefly has really been on a roll lately with giving us new Disney merchandise! We’ve already seen a new Mickey Mouse Rainbow Collection that had us over the moon.

But now, we’ve discovered three NEW Disney characters in the Loungefly lineup and we cannot get over them!
We are BACK in EPCOT now that Disney World has started its phased reopening! One of the biggest differences when it comes to planning a 2020 vacation to Disney World is the new rule that states all guests above the age of two MUST wear a face mask.
Orange Bird Wearing a Mini Mask
This requirement has stirred up a lot of questions regarding the logistics of wearing a mask all day in the theme parks. Despite us having the experience of what it’s like to wear a mask all day, we still had some important questions when it came to visiting EPCOT. We’re talkin’ about logistics of EATING around World Showcase, especially with the 2020 Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival now in full swing!
There has been a bit of a heatwave sweeping across the U.S. and we’re not gonna lie — we’ve been lying on our couches watching Hamilton excessively!

And in addition to all our favorite classic movies and shows, we now know what we’ll be binge-watching in the dog days of summer!
Walt Disney World has been making cuts, delaying construction projects, and making health and safety changes around the parks recently.
Cinderella Castle
This week alone, Disney made an official statement that the Spaceship Earth renovation and the new Mary Poppins attraction are being postponed. We just learned three new attractions that will allegedly close permanently.
Can you believe all four Disney World theme parks are finally open for the first time in many months?
Tree of Life
It’s been a totally surreal experience being back at Disney World, but we’ve been on a mission to see how Disney is addressing the health and safety concerns of every guest and Cast Member inside the newly reopened parks.
There is so much to do and see at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Pandora — The World of AVATAR, it can almost be overwhelming. Everything is just gorgeous there!

But we got to the Windtraders gift shop, all the new merchandise we saw made us stop in our tracks!
We’re always on the lookout for a new Disney+ documentary.

Can you blame us? With winners like The Imagineering Story and Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, Disney+ originals KNOW how to do a good doc. Next up on the doc-ket is Howard: The Howard Ashman Story. This film will tell the tale of legendary lyricist Howard Ashman — and now we have a release date AND a trailer. Take a look!
You can bet that we spent our morning trying to nab a boarding group for Rise of the Resistance.
Plexiglass Barriers on Rise of the Resistance
Rise of the Resistance is the super high-demand ride in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge — even in the limited capacity reopening days of Hollywood Studios! If there’s one thing that’s no fun, it’s running into a glitch when boarding groups are loading. Today, when we were trying to grab our spot in the Virtual Queue, we ran into a glitch that’s pretty tiny — but it could mean the difference between you getting a boarding group or not!Â
We attended the grand reopening of Disney’s Hollywood Studios yesterday and since we have blazing fast fingers we were able to snag a reservation for Rise of the Resistance when the first batch of boarding groups was released at 10AM!
Plexiglass Barriers
In fact, the boarding groups for Rise of the Resistance filled up quickly this morning as well, but we were able to secure a spot in the virtual queue once again. However, when we checked our boarding group status today, we noticed something was very different!
