food IS a theme park
Disney World just dropped a TON of info about special events!
Typhoon Lagoon
As the Disney World parks prepare to open next month, we’re starting to learn more about what differences we can expect. And tonight, Disney announced that several special events, including Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, will be canceled.
Today, we learned that Cast Members at numerous dining locations, resorts, and festivals across Walt Disney World have been called back to work.
Magic Kingdom
As select Walt Disney World hotels gear up to reopen on June 22nd and the theme parks in mid-July, we learned that even MORE Disney World Cast Members will be going back to work soon.
Disney World will officially start reopening its theme parks on July 11th. And they have already revealed that a few experiences like parades and fireworks would be suspended when the parks reopen.

This left us questioning how Disney World would handle special ticketed events that offer special entertainment offerings like limited-time fireworks, meet and greets, and parades. Would they still happen? How would Disney modify the experience? Now, Disney has officially released information pertaining to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
Tri-Circle-D Ranch is one of the many things that makes Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort so unique!
Welcome to Fort Wilderness!
At Tri-Circle-D Ranch, guests can enjoy trail rides, pony rides, wagon rides, and carriage rides right in the middle of Disney World!
Earlier this week, we were truly shaken to our core when we found out The Polite Pig in Disney Springs was no longer selling the famous Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookie! THE HORROR!
R.I.P. Gideon’s Cookies at The Polite Pig!
Of course, we later found out WHY, and also much to our relief, The Polite Pig began offering its own replacement: hence the Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cookie was born!
We noticed some really cool items at World of Disney in Disney Springs today — like these Drizella and Anastasia Pot Holders!

And one of our favorite finds is an Up-inspired journal that’s giving us allllll the feels!
The state of Florida has slowly but surely been reopening for a few weeks now.
Rainbow Mickey Face Mask
With Disney World set to reopen select hotels in just a few days, we’re keeping a close eye on government mandates for the area.
All of us are in the same boat as we await more details regarding Disney World’s plan for its phased reopening.
Polynesian Lobby
When it comes to hotels, Disney has only released information for the select Disney World resort hotels that will begin reopening next week.
We were really hoping Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’s new outdoor Shine Bar + Social would be opening with the rest of the restaurant today. Ever since we spotted construction on this secret project at one of our favorite Disney Springs’ spots, we’ve become a little obsessed!
Shine Bar
And while we had a marvelous time at Homecomin’s grand reopening (and maybe brought home a fabulous Chicken Print Face Mask or two with our doggy bag of leftovers) the new patio bar is only open for outdoor seating for the time being. Let’s take a peek at, anyways!
Select Disney World hotels are getting ready to welcome back guests next week and the theme parks are gearing up for their July 11th and July 15th grand reopenings!
