Disney is keeping us busy — and excited for the Skyliner opening in 2019! On each of our visits to Hollywood Studios and Epcot, plus any of the resorts along the Skyliner route, we anxiously check out the progress. Yesterday we checked on the progress of the Skyliner Station at Epcot.
Epcot Skyliner Station Progress
This week we got to see them working on a more artistic aspect of the Skyliner, the art on the station roof.
Earlier this morning, we brought you details about the Disney on Broadway Concert Series and Dining Packages for the 2019 Epcot Festival of the Arts, which will run from January 18 – February 25, 2019. And now, we have even more news about the event… and it’s our favorite kind: FOOD news!
Festival of the Arts Passport
The Festival of the Arts celebrates the Culinary Arts with Food Studios — much like the Epcot Food and Wine Festival’s Food Booths — presenting enhanced food offerings around the park, with an emphasis on artistic presentation for the unique dishes and drinks. [Read more…]

The 2019 Epcot International Festival of the Arts will run from January 18 – February 25, 2019, celebrating culinary, visual, and performing arts.

And today, we have the Concert Lineup AND Dining Package information!
Epcot Festival of the Arts
New for 2019, Disney on Broadway Concerts will take place daily, and every 2 weeks will feature different pairs of Disney on Broadway Stars performing 3 times per evening (5:30 PM, 6:45 PM and 8:00 PM) at the American Gardens Theatre. [Read more…]
Another cute cupcake alert for you ????! We were over at Disney’s Contemporary Resort today to showcase the new Gingerbread Castle being erected for the holiday season and we couldn’t help stopping over at Contempo Cafe for a couple of yummy treats!
Pastry and Baked Goods Case at Contempo Cafe
Today we get to show you a seriously adorable Limited Time Only (VERY limited…as in today ONLY.) Minnie’s Not-So-Scary Berry Cupcake as well as a seasonal (i.e. limited time, but not quite as limited as Minnie) cupcake — the Apple Cupcake!
She’s definitely ready for her close-up! This adorable one-day-only Minnie Mouse Not-So-Scary Berry Halloween cupcake features dyed vanilla cake, raspberry jam filling, and vanilla buttercream icing. The Minnie witch hat is made of white chocolate and filled with blackberry marshmallow.
Minnie Mouse Not So Scary Berry Cupcake
This cute dessert is such a work of art! The frosting is a vanilla buttercream that actually has a pretty good flavor, but it is very green!
It may be Halloween, but we saw a sure sign of Christmas today! The Contemporary Resort’s Gingerbread Castle in Disney World is going up!
Hello from the Contemporary
We can see the Castle, is in its “new” home for the second year in a row by the windows on the fourth floor. There it is — peeking out from between the Contemporary shops on the Grand Canyon Concourse!
OK, I’m dead. This is easily the most adorable thing ever.
Mike Wazowski Cupcake
We’ve shown you countless halloween cupcakes over the past two months — caramel poison apple cupcake at Wilderness Lodge, the not-so-poison apple cupcake at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party (my love.), and more — but this one is, by far, the most adorable.
There are signs of change and building anticipation for the arrival of the new land Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios all over the park. We checked in on three things on this visit: the changing Tatooine Traders to see the progress of their refurbishment, the work being done for the missing Star Wars: A Galaxy Far Far Away stage show, and finally what we can see of construction progress on Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
Star Wars: A Galaxy Far Far Away stage area
As you can see, the stage area for Star Wars: A Galaxy Far Far Away is still undergoing some serious work. The show has been on hiatus for almost four weeks, looks like it will be missing for a little while longer!
Hollywood Studios is a changing park these days. In addition to all the work being done for the arrival of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in the Fall of 2019 a new ride is coming to the Chinese Theater, and the former Pixar Place is being transformed into a city block in Municiberg, home of The Incredibles.

The Chinese Theater is being transformed for the new ride, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway coming in 2019.
