food IS a theme park
Disney World is gearing up for the holidays!
Disney Enchantment during the holidays in 2021
There will soon be special ride overlays, decorations around the parks, Santa meet and greets, and more in Disney World. We already know about a bunch of stuff coming back to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays, and now there’s more holiday fun happening. Construction has begun on an ICONIC holidays decoration in Disney World!
Disney World makes changes all the time, but some things are more noticeable than others.
Disney merchandise in Creations
We see price increases occasionally, that aren’t noticeable unless you REALLY pay attention, and we also see things like merchandise limits come into play. There are also bigger things that change, like restaurants reopening or character meet and greets returning. And recently, we’ve noticed a change that could impact your shopping soon in Disney World.
If you’re visiting Disney World soon, you likely have plans to visit Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. But don’t forget about Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
Disney Springs is a shopping and dining center with lots to do. It has dozens of restaurants (including some of our favorites in all of Disney World) as well as huge gift shops and even a few attractions. We visit frequently to check out any changes here, so come along with us to see what’s NEW at Disney Springs! [Read more…]
Hurricane Ian has made its way into Florida and caused some extreme flooding and damage.
Rain near Disney Springs
The storm shut down a ton of places — everything from schools to Disney World — and continues to have major impacts. There were both Tornado Warnings and Flash Flood Warnings issued for Central Florida. Now, Ian has been downgraded to a tropical storm, but it’s still not done dumping water on the Sunshine State. And now, we know the exact amount of rain that has come down on Disney World so far.
Hurricane Ian is heading into Florida, causing tornado warnings, closures, evacuations, and more.

We’ve got a look at what’s been going on in the Orlando and Disney World areas, as well as info on the airport closures and hotel accommodations. The Disney World parks, Universal Orlando, and SeaWorld are all closed due to the storm, but now, we’ve seen a sign that the closure in Disney World could be longer than expected.
It’s time to chat about the latest Disney NEWS!
Refresher
We found a secret drink in EPCOT, a new restaurant is coming next year, a fun nighttime show is returning soon, and we found a really yummy donut that I have to tell you about.
Disney World is constantly changing!
EPCOT
Sometimes we see those changes coming and sometimes we don’t. Last month, a few things definitely caught us off guard. Here are the three most unexpected things that happened in Disney World in August!
It’s been a busy week at Disney World!

If there’s one thing you should know about Disney World, it’s that there’s almost always something new to see or do.
EPCOT
Last month alone, the remaining EPCOT Food and Wine Festival booths opened, the new BoardWalk Deli opened, and we attended the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party since 2019, plus more. In addition to new things to see and do, there’s almost always something new to learn about Disney World, as well. So, without further ado, let’s get into the biggest things we learned at Disney World in August.
