food IS a theme park
Welcome back to another what’s new! Today, we visited the Disney resorts that are on the monorail loop!
Monorail
While looking for the latest food, construction, and merchandise, we found some new holiday treats, an old favorite, and some transportation updates. So, let’s get started!
We hit the holiday snacks jackpot today at Bayview Gifts in Disney’s Contemporary Resort!
Bakery Case
We already raved over the Egg Nog Fudge today, and we also took a bite out of the Mickey Mouse Gingerbread Cookie, but now it’s time to sink our teeth into some sticky caramel!
We’ve been taking you around the reopened Disney World Resort Hotels ALL day! From saying “hello” to Mickey for the first time in MONTHS at Topolino’s Terrace to wondering where the heck everyone is, it’s been quite the day so far!
Bay Lake Tower
We’re finally settling into our accommodations at Disney’s Contemporary Resort and we thought we would take a walk around and see exactly what resort amenities are still available for guests!
As many of you may know, Disney’s new Park Pass Reservation System opened with a bumpy start this morning. But that’s not the only BIG Disney milestone taking place. Today, select Disney World hotels have also reopened to guests.
Riviera Resort
We’re reporting LIVE today to check out Disney’s new health and safety procedures along with the changes that the dining and merchandise locations have implemented. Follow along with us! 🙂
With Disney World set to reopen its Disney Vacation Club Resorts on June 22, along with Disney’s Fort Wilderness, we’re ready to head back to some of our favorite hotels on property and catch up on EVERYTHING we’ve missed since March!
Polynesian Village Resort Lobby
But not so fast! While we were perusing which restaurants will open on June 22, we noticed there were SEVERAL dining experiences missing from those lists that made our jaws hit the floor! Here are six restaurants that we are SHOCKED to find will not be a part of their resorts’ initial reopenings.
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.
Easter will be hopping up on us before we know it! And Disney World sounds like a pretty great place to celebrate!
Mr. & Mrs. Easter Bunny
And why not celebrate with an amazing meal! If you’ll be in Disney World for Easter, you’re in luck — because many of the restaurants in Disney World have announced special holiday menus!
And since we know that you’ll need to save up your searching skills for the Easter egg hunt, we gathered a basket full of them for you here!
What’s this? What’s this? There’s cookies everywhere!
Gingerbread Castle
The Gingerbread Castle has arrived in all its sweet glory in Disney World! And, while we are appreciating the gingerbread artistry and hidden Mickeys, we’re also snacking on the treats being baked up next door!
Put away your pumpkins, everybody!
Contemporary Resort
It’s November 1st, and you know what that means… It’s Christmas time!! And, while we’re super excited for all the holiday merch in Disney World, the sweet aroma of the Gingerbread Castle has us ready for some Christmas cookies!
There’s something so special about the magnificent gingerbread houses at Disney World during the holidays!
2018 Contemporary Resort Gingerbread House
Is it that they’re positively MASSIVE? Or maybe its the level of detail that the Disney pastry artists put into these magical cookie-based creations? Whatever the reason, we keep coming back year after year to see the awesome gingerbread artwork to be found around Disney World. And if you’re like us, you won’t want to miss out on any of this year’s displays!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
