food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another what’s new at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
And, we’ve got a look at all the merchandise, food, and entertainment updates you need to know about! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
As Disney World restaurants continue to open, we have been making our way around to see all of the updates or changes.
Narcoossee’s Sign
We’re making our way to Narcoossee’s is located at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. This waterfront Signature Dining location reopened back on September 21st. While other signature restaurants like California Grill and Cinderella’s Royal Table have reopened, we were eager to see how our past memories at Narcoossee’s compare to this new experience!
Nighttime spectaculars are still more or less on pause in Disney World right now, with a few minor exceptions like projections and light pyro on Cinderella Castle, Tower of Terror, and the Tree of Life.

Fireworks are a BIG piece of a classic Disney vacation, so we’re waiting patiently for them to return. Luckily, Disney has continued work on EPCOT’s upcoming nighttime show, Harmonious, and now we’ve got an UPDATE from above!
Since the Disney World theme parks have reopened in July, several dining locations have remained closed.
Wilderness Lodge
We’ve seen many places start to open again like Woody’s Lunch Box, and others that have announced reopening dates. While this reopening was not announced, we can confirm that Territory Lounge at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge was open to guests this evening!
Happy holidays, DFB friends! While we’ve been taking you around us to see what Disney World looks like for Christmas, we’ve also given you a peek at the crowds we’ve seen recently.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Currently, Disney World is keeping its capacity at 35%, Disney Park. With this capacity limit, we have seen park passes fill up and be restocked.
It may be hard to believe, but Disney World’s four theme parks have been reopened since JULY of this year. We know, we know, time has just FLOWN by this year, right? Okay, so maybe the idea of time itself is all sorts of jumbled this year, but it’s true! And in the months since Disney World reopened, a lot has changed.
Cinderella Castle
Specifically, we noticed six major areas that have seen changes in the last few months. It’s pretty safe to say that when Disney World reopened in July, there were a whole ton of new rules, regulations, guest offerings, there was even a new castle color! But what has changed SINCE July?
It’s a VERY busy day in Disney World today as the holiday weekend continues and EPCOT’s Festival of the holidays begins!
2020 Taste of EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
But, while we’re up to our eyeballs in holly and jolly over in EPCOT, we’re taking a break from the festival to head over to one of our favorite spots at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
Happy festival day, everybody! It’s already been quite the day as we’ve been making our way around EPCOT to see everything happening at this year’s Festival of the Holidays!
Caramel Tinsel Donut and Latte
Although we’re still slightly stuffed from Thanksgiving yesterday, we’re here to try Twix Coffee and Donuts, Christmas Cookie Cupcakes, Iced Toddies, and MORE in the park today. And, the snack crawl doesn’t stop there, because now we’re over in the France Pavilion for the return of a holiday dessert!
Happy holidays from World Showcase in EPCOT! We’re taking you with us throughout the day to check out the holiday festivities and (most importantly) the food at this year’s Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays!
Shi Wasu Booth
As the event kicks off, we’ve been indulging ourselves with themed eats and drinks from the MANY food booths at the pavilions. And, we’re happy to see that the Shi Wasu Holiday Kitchen has brought back some menu items from previous years and has also added a brand NEW treat to the list!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year in Disney World as the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays has officially kicked off today! You can follow along with us LIVE here!
Mickey and Minnie
We’ve already been hopping around to check out some of our favorite returning treats and check out the Gingerbread Display in a new spot. Buuut, we’re also taking some time to explore the stores with the latest Festival of the Holidays merchandise this year!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
