food IS a theme park
All around Disney World, new and exciting things are happening!
A sunny day in Animal Kingdom
From innovative and immersive new attractions to the latest new restaurants — we’re looking out for the latest and greatest updates from around the parks. With so much going on, it can be difficult staying up to date — that’s where we come in! Let’s take a look at what’s new in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
When Disney World brought back traditional character meet and greets, we were THRILLED to finally be able to hug, high-five, and get autographs once again.
Hugs are back!
But, not every character meet and greet came back at once, as Disney is rolling them out in phases. Disney just announced that even MORE characters are coming back to the parks, and we’re sharing everything you need to know!
There is so much going on at Disney World right now!
Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom
The 50th anniversary celebrations, a new ride opening, Flower and Garden Festival, new merchandise, big crowds — we could go on and on. With everything happening, new things can sometimes go unnoticed, but that’s why we’re here! We pay attention to EVERYTHING new at Disney World to bring you all the updates. So, let’s go see what’s new in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
It seems like no matter where you look in Disney World these days, things are changing.
Mickey and Minnie at Adventurers Outpost
Whether it’s a new snack at your favorite spot or a brand new attraction on the way, no two Disney trips have looked the same lately. That’s why it’s so important to stay in the know when it comes to Disney World construction — and we’ve got the most important updates from this week below!
Disney World is constantly changing, and the same can be said for Disney World dining.
The Pineapple Upside-Down Cake with Dole Whip!
We’re seeing new and returning snacks pop up almost every day. Just this week alone, we were reunited with our much-loved Dole Whip-Topped Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, ate a refreshing new Greek Salad (see? we DO eat healthy sometimes), and started thinking ahead to the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival that starts soon. We also kept an eye on Disney World restaurants and tracked every single menu change that happened.
There’s always something new happening in Disney World!
Donald and Daisy Duck Statues!
Planning a Disney World vacation can be tricky, especially with new features like Genie+ and the park pass reservation system. And with summer crowds, a limited-time fireworks show to consider, and Disney’s steadily increasing prices, planning is tougher than ever right now. If you’re heading to Disney World next week, keep reading to see some very important information!
In Disney World, seemingly every inch of the place is filled with magic! This is certainly true of its HIGHLY immersive and thematic restaurants!
San Angel Inn Restaurante
Much like Disney’s attractions, the Disney World restaurants have many enchanting details. And just like the rides, each restaurant has some seats that are better than others!
It’s time for us to take a trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to see what’s new!
Tree of Life
Over the past week, the park debuted the reimagined Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond show (with some hiccups, but we’ll get to that later), started some newer refurbishments, and welcomed in new merchandise! There’s a lot to update you on, so let’s get right into it!
Certain Disney World restaurants are just TOUGH to get into! Especially during the height of the pandemic, it was darn near IMPOSSIBLE to get into some of the most popular restaurants, in particular!
Good luck!
But at risk of jinxing things…has it actually gotten EASIER to get into these hot spots?! Pardon us while we go knock on wood.
It’s not often that Disney World offers free events, especially not ones that come with character sightings, entertainment, low ride wait times, and snacks.
Moonlight Magic popcorn bucket
But that’s exactly what Moonlight Magic is — as long as you’re a Disney Vacation Club member and register for the event, you can attend these after-hours parties free of charge. And now we have the sign-up information you need in order to attend Moonlight Magic at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! [Read more…]
