food IS a theme park
While Universal Orlando’s CityWalk reopened last month and Florida’s Univeral Orlando’s theme parks reopened on June 5th, the same can’t be said for Universal Hollywood which has remained closed in California since mid-March.

But now Universal Hollywood’s CityWalk has just announced that they’ll begin a phased reopening of several shops and restaurants TODAY!
It’s like a whole new world has opened up at Disney World today since May 20th when only a few Disney Springs spots reopened.

The Disney World theme parks will begin reopening with Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom on July 11th, but guests actually will be welcomed to the resorts weeks before that.
The Villas at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo House
Disney Vacation Club Resorts and Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground are set to reopen on June 22nd. Notably, upon announcement, some DVC properties were not listed as one of the reopening resorts. Though Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas — Kidani Village were listed, the Jambo House Villas were not. Hmm. Oddly enough, we were just able to book a reservation at Jambo House! So what’s going on?!
Disney World will undergo some BIG changes when it reopens.
Magic Kingdom
While the idea of change might be a little worrisome, Disney has shared how they plan to keep guests and Cast Members safe. Since the parks will be going through some updates, that means your packing list will likely need some modifications as well. Â
Did you know that City Works Eatery & Pour House is reopening to guests TODAY in Disney Springs?
