food IS a theme park
Cinderella Castle has seen some changes over the past year or so, but she’s looking better than ever!
Cinderella Castle
Last February, Disney announced that the castle would be getting a refurbishment. And it did – the moat was drained and the castle received a brand new paint job! And we have to say — the new pink color has grown on us, and it really pops in photos, especially against a gorgeous blue Florida sky.
Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion!

No phrase fills us with so much ghoulish delight! And we love seeing all the fun Haunted Mansion stuff out there, including sippers, gargoyle statues, clothing, and more!
If you’re heading to Disney World in 2021, you might want to switch up some of your tried-and-true vacation planning strategies.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
If you’re a longtime Disney World vacationer — or if you’ve been studying up for years — you might think you have all of your strategies in the bag. But there have been some BIG changes recently that could impact your 2021 trip! Here’s how to do Disney World differently this year.
Disney is always changing one way or another. Whether prices are being adjusted, attractions are being closed and opened, or guest habits are varying; you’ll usually spot SOMETHING different year-to-year in the World.
Magic Kingdom
This is especially true in the wake of the global health crisis. A lot had to change in a very short time. Some of those changes are going to disappear while others may be permanent. It’s entirely possible that a 2022 Disney World will look TOTALLY different from a 2021 Disney World (which was already a weird enough year to begin with!).
So, if you’re looking at taking that Disney trip in the next few years, you might be wondering if it’s better to schedule for this year or hold off until 2022. We’re here to help! We’re taking a look at the biggest differences and whether you should get that trip set for this year or next!
This year is Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary!
Magic Kingdom
The parks have been through a lot of changes in the last few decades, like the addition of Galaxy’s Edge and Pandora, the Cinderella Castle makeover, and some new resorts. And now there’s now a way to look back on all this history.
Wow! It’s wild to think about but Disney World’s 50th Anniversary is THIS YEAR.
Walt Disney World Gateway
In preparation for the big occasion, Disney has given Cinderella Castle a new look and is working on new attractions and restaurants for the parks. Another area that’s getting some TLC is the Walt Disney World entrance signs around the resort! Today, work on another one of the entrances got underway.
It’s now 2021, which means that it’s officially the year of Disney’s 50th Anniversary!

Since this is a milestone year, it makes sense that it would be a big draw for guests to visit! However, Disney World has seen lots of changes this past year. So we’ve found ourselves wondering if potential visitors are still planning to visit Disney World this year, and we asked YOU!
It’s a pretty momentous year for Walt Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
Disney World has its 50th Anniversary this October and as you can imagine, that’s going to be a pretty exciting event. We might see HIGH demand on the days around the 50th — especially in Magic Kingdom.Â
Getting additional, exclusive time in the parks is a huge benefit to staying at a Disney World Resort hotel.
Magic Kingdom
In 2021 Disney introduced Early Theme Park Entry giving guests at any Disney World Resort hotel (plus a few others) the chance to spend an extra 30 minutes in the parks before their official opening time. And if you’re planning on taking advantage of this perk when you visit, we have a couple tips for you to keep in mind!
Disney World has seen many changes in the past year.
Cinderella Castle
The global health crisis has Disney making adjustments to Park Hopping, safety regulations, and more. When the theme park’s reopened, Disney made the decision to suspend Extra Magic Hours to reduce early morning crowds. Now, a new experience is coming to Disney World this year that will allow resort guests to enter the parks early.
