food IS a theme park
We’ve been running around Magic Kingdom checking out everything new the park has to offer since it re-opened!
Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe Stockings
Earlier, we spotted a ton of new stockings and Christmas merch in Disney Springs. But recently, we stopped into Ye Old Christmas Shoppe to see if they added anything new. On our way in we spotted something spooky. A brand new Haunted Mansion stocking! [Read more…]
Pull out the Triple Sec! There’s a new tequila coming to EPCOT and we’re only ordering it on The Rocks.
La Cava del Tequila
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is starring in the newest movie based on a Disney RIDE — The Jungle Cruise. But do you know what’s cooler than the backside of water? The fact that he is making his own line of tequila! [Read more…]
We have been making our way all over the Disney Parks as they re-open. Although we’ve hopped on water rides like Kali River Rapids and Splash Mountain, we can’t neglect that old favorite, the Jungle Cruise in Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
It seems Disney is giving the Jungle Cruise a LOT more love right now too! We’ve spotted ornament sets, backpacks, and even dresses. Now the Jungle Cruise Funko Pop we told you about is available online as well!
Now everyone can set out on an island getaway aboard the Jungle Cruise in Magic Kingdom now that the park is officially open to guests!
Jungle Cruise
We checked out that Eighth Wonder of the World (the Backside of Water, of course!), BUT we also checked out what was new in the shops in Magic Kingdom, including the dapper Jungle Cruise Dress we spotted on Main Street.
If you’re planning a trip to Walt Disney World, there is a LOT to think about right now. As a result of the global health crisis, we’re seeing some big changes to the way we do Disney World. We’re talking updates to the dining reservation system, an all-new Disney Park Pass theme park reservation system, and no more Park Hopping, to name a few.
Magic Kingdom
If you’ve been hard at work planning or rescheduling an upcoming Disney vacation, you may have wrapped your mind around some of the big changes. But, there are still quite a few things that most people booking a Disney trip right now DON’T know.
Two of Walt Disney World’s theme parks have officially reopened, and, we’ve been on the ground at Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom to check out all that’s new and different in the parks.
Balloons
While riding Haunted Mansion and waving to your favorite characters is all well and good, we’ve been pretty stoked to snack on our favorite treats again in the parks. But, we have to be honest — although you know we love our Disney eats, we may have just spotted a new BFF that is more devoted to Disney chicken nuggets than we are!
Although Disney World has opened some of its BEST restaurants all around the property, one place to grab a quick and easy option (especially if you want to take food back to your hotel) is McDonald’s on property.
Magic Kingdom
Ever since the reimagined McDonald’s has popped up on Disney property, we’ve loved seeing the innovative elements at the restaurant, like the bikes outside and solar-powered lights. However, some restaurants around Florida haven’t been opening their dining rooms and only offer to-go and curbside pick-up options.
It’s been months since we’ve been back in Disney World. We have to say that it’s been pretty surreal to return to the resorts and parks after they’ve been closed for so long!
Welcome Back Home!
However, Disney World is definitely not the same place we’ve grown to know and love over the years. There are a lot of changes that honestly have us rethinking how we are going to need to plan upcoming Disney vacations in the near future. While there is limited capacity in the parks with an entirely new reservation system required to even enter, the changes don’t stop there.
It’s been a wild ride this week in Disney World! While Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom have officially reopened to guests, Disney Springs is still welcoming everyone back to shop, dine, and have a great time!
Disney Springs
Although there are SO many places to eat in Disney Springs that have reopened to guests, those visiting Disney World can once again eat a meal during a thunderstorm and have a VOLCANOOO! for dessert once again!
We’re spending the day in the newly reopened Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
And while the wait times for most of the attractions have been relatively short, there’s one place in Magic Kingdom that has already hit capacity for the day!
