food IS a theme park
With the global health crisis going on, a lot of folks are wanting to give back.

Disney has made a few big donations to help out with the crisis. They are donating 1 million cloth masks to children and families in underserved communities and the parks donated 150,000 rain ponchos for use in hospitals around the country. Now, Cast Members are showing their love with customized thank-you cards for healthcare workers through Disney Magic Moments.
The Universal Studios universe seems to be exploding with news right now!
Universal Studios
Only moments ago we told you Universal Studios Annual Passholders were officially invited to attend an early preview before the theme parks open to the general public on June 5th!

Universal Orlando will officially be opening to the public on June 5th. Buuut, if you’re an Annual Passholder, you’ll get to go back home to Hogwarts early!

After Universal Orlando announced its extensive health and safety protocols, it also stated that they would be opening the parks to team members and Annual Passholders prior to June 5th.
As Disney is in the process of establishing new safety measures for the Disney parks around the globe, one measure that the company has mentioned — and that we have already seen in progress — is phased reopenings.
Disneyland Paris
A phased reopening of Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs began on May 20th, and Shanghai Disneyland reopened a limited number of shopping, dining, and recreational experiences in Disneytown, Wishing Star Park, and Shanghai Disneyland Hotel in March prior to reopening the theme park on May 11th. And now we have received confirmation that Disneyland Paris will reopen an element of the Resort starting this weekend: Golf Disneyland. [Read more…]
We know how uber-difficult it has been to get your hands on the new Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction merch being released each month!
Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction Space Mountain Plush
From attraction-themed Minnie Ears to Loungeflys, the items almost seem to sell out faster than you can say Space Mountain! But yesterday while we were browsing around the newly-reopened World of Disney, we spotted a whole NEW Minnie Mouse collection that is super K-A-W-A-I-I! (That’s a Japanese word for CUTE!).
The times they are a-changin’ for Disney resorts, and now there’s a new potential change to be thinking about.
Contemporary Arcade
Gamers, listen up! The global health crisis has had widespread effects on everything from your dining menu to the way you shop around stores and now it seems that another facet of entertainment is taking a hit. Health measures and concerns have started to have an effect on the arcade game industry — and this could affect Disney World following its reopening. Let’s take a look!
The past few days have revealed a lot of information in light of Walt Disney World’s proposed reopening starting with Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom on July 11th followed by Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT on July 15th.
Walt Disney World Annual Passholder
In order to promote physical distancing as part of the new safety measures upon reopening, the parks (as well as restaurants within the Resort, among other venues) will reopen with limited guest capacity. And Disney is beginning to send out communications to Annual Passholders about changes being put into place that will help implement these measures. [Read more…]
We have a major question about the reopening of Disney World — and some ideas about how it might play out!
Walt Disney World’s Epcot
While the Disney World parks remain closed, the resort has taken its first step towards resuming operations with the phased reopening of Disney Springs on May 20th.
We can look at the reopening of Disney Springs, as well as Shanghai Disneyland, for an idea of what to expect when the Disney World parks welcome back guests. But we have one HUGE question for which Disney hasn’t yet set a precedent.
We just learned that Disney World is temporarily suspending FastPass+ reservations, canceling existing Dining Reservations and Disney Dining Plans, and halting Extra Magic Hours once the parks reopen on the proposed mid-July date.
Magic Kingdom
And now, we noticed a quiet change to the language pertaining to who will be required to wear masks at the parks upon their reopening.
