food IS a theme park
Want to hear a joke about pizza? Oh, never mind, it’s too cheesy!Â
Okay okay, pizza puns aside, there are LOTS of places around Walt Disney World to grab a slice (or 12) of pizza.

We also like to wear our love for all things related to pizza (including Toy Story’s Pizza Planet) with fun bracelets and bags. Now, we’ve found a way for Walt Disney World Cast Members to enjoy MORE PIZZA at a Disney Springs spot with a great discount!
Disney World is currently promoting many new health and safety measures in its newly reopened parks. From face masks to temperature screenings and physical distancing, several elements are now mandatory for guests.

But other procedures, while strongly encouraged, are still considered optional. One of these enhancements is Mobile Order, a contactless way to pre-order and pre-pay for your food using the My Disney Experience app.
Select restaurants and businesses in Downtown Disney are getting ready to reopen to the general public on July 9th while the rest of Disneyland Resort will remain on hiatus.

And we’ve just learned Disneyland is extending a special offer to its Cast Members, giving them the chance to visit the District for a soft opening on Wednesday, July 8th.

Disney is known for the ability to create magical (and sometimes, seemingly impossible!) experiences for guests. And whether you’re watching the Happily Ever After fireworks, enjoying a delicious meal, or just taking in the atmosphere of the parks, it’s a safe bet that there’s some behind-the-scenes magic that made the experience possible. Here are the magical parts of Disney World you DON’T get to see!
In a new video released by Disney, Cast Members share their experience with racial inequality.

In the video description, the Disney YouTube channel states: “Several of our colleagues created this powerful and very personal video to share with their fellow employees, highlighting the need for greater understanding, unity and action to address racial inequality in our country. We believe Black lives matter and that this message is one that everyone should hear. That’s why we’re sharing it with you.”
Earlier we reported some union Cast Members from Disney World’s hotels and theme parks were being called back to resume working as early as June 14th, and know we can provide you with a few more updates!

According to a recent post on Unite Here Local 737 union’s Facebook page, we now know a few more food and beverage locations that have started calling back their full-time Cast Members as Disney World gets ready for its big reopening!
We sure are missing the Disney Parks right now, and there are some things that we really hope we’ll get to do when they reopen.
Happily Ever After
With so many wonderful ways to enjoy Walt Disney World, it’s impossible to do it all. But whether you’ve been to the World dozens of times or you’re planning a once-in-a-lifetime trip, we don’t want you to finish your trip with any regrets. Here are five Walt Disney World experiences you’ll regret not trying.
Earlier we shared that Disney World is starting to ask a large number of Cast Members back to work prior to opening select resorts on June 22 and prior to reopening of Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom on July 11.

But while many Cast Members are returning, there are still questions surrounding what the future could hold for Disney College Program participants.
Earlier we reported some Disney World restaurants and hotels had started notifying their employees about returning to their jobs. With Disney World reopening on July 11th, there is a lot to do around the parks and there are lots of new procedures that Cast Members need to learn.

And while Disney hasn’t officially released a statement, thousands of furloughed employees are also gearing up to go back to work at the parks.
