food IS a theme park
As Disney World has started its initial reopening this week, we are back in the parks to say hello to our favorite characters and eat all the snacks our stretchy pants can handle!
Magic Kingdom
And, along the way, we’ve encountered plenty of surprises since Disney World looks completely different than we’ve known it to be before.
We’ve had a LOT of feelings about returning back to Disney World during the first round of reopenings this week.
Main Street, U.S.A.
Although we expected to see distancing measures and new places to spot characters, there were quite a few changes that Disney sprung on guests when they entered the parks. Whether you’re someone who really loves riding attractions or you’re all about the food, Disney World has really shaken things up when it comes to how the parks are working now.
Now that Disney World has reopened, we’ve been combing through the parks to collect all the brand new tips you need to know!
Magic Kingdom
In order to enter the parks, all guests ages two and older are required to wear an appropriate face covering. So, since nearly everyone who enters Disney World will need to wear a face mask, we figured this is a pretty important topic to cover!
Since Disney World began its phased reopening after the unprecedented closures in 2020, we’ve added some NEW tips to our list of things to keep in mind when you travel!
Magic Kingdom
We visit the parks, hotels, and Disney Springs on a daily basis to get a feel for the changes that continue to happen on a near-constant rate — even 2 years later. And, with all of the things that have come, and gone, and then come back again at Disney we have some NEW tips for your vacation!
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!
