food IS a theme park
It’s no secret that we have some favorite snacks at Disney World, and we’re always sad when they go away, even temporarily!
Trolley Car Cafe
We’ve been a fan of the Carrot Cake Cookie since we discovered it at Writer’s Stop at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It later turned up at Sweet Spells. Now that both locations are gone, though, we see it often at the Trolley Car Cafe.
December has been full of restaurant reopenings, menu changes, and a brand new cookie joint at Disney Springs!
Cinderella’s Royal Table
And we’ve been covering it all to keep you updated. But if you’ve missed some announcements specifically about menu changes and updates, here are all the menu updates we’ve seen this past month!
Many Disney fans are making their first return trip to Disney World since the pandemic-related closures in 2020. If this describes you, then you are going to find many things changed in Disney World, and one thing that’s important to know for your trip planning is that Park Hopping works differently today!
Welcome to Disney World
When Disney World first re-opened in 2020, Park Hopping was suspended. The option to “hop” between Disney World parks returned in 2021, with a few modifications. We’ve been Park Hopping ever since, and we have the answers to ALL your questions!
Park hopping returns today but it’s pretty different than before the closures.
Park Hopper
Guests visiting Disney World today may have the Park Hopper ticket option that allows them to visit other parks during Park Hopper hours (after 2PM for now). The catch is that these parks CAN hit capacity and if they do, you won’t be allowed inside. Here’s what we know so far about how to check for theme park Park Hopper availability!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Buzz Lightyear
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise, crowds, and entertainment updates to share with you. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s jump right on in!
You might be on vacation during this holiday season, or just trying to squeeze in a few extra naps to catch up on some much-needed rest, but Disney news never takes a break!
Spaceship Earth
Another week has passed at the most magical place on earth, and some BIG updates have been announced or seen in the parks. From the return of Park Hopping to an update on the EPCOT monorail, today we’re taking a look at 5 pieces of Disney news from this week that you might have missed!
Today is the day of returning treats!
Wookie Oatmeal Cookie Sandwich
We’ve already shared our excitement about the return of the Kakamora Float in Magic Kingdom and now we’re bopping over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to be reunited with one of our favorite cookies in Disney World!
We’re HOPPIN’ into the New Year, my friends…because Park Hopping returns to the Walt Disney World theme parks as of today!
Walt Disney World Monorail in EPCOT
Park Hopping is the option to visit more than one of the four Walt Disney World theme parks per day. The program was suspended upon the initial reopening of the Walt Disney World parks in the summer of 2020. But now, guests who have purchased valid park tickets that include Park Hopper benefits can start their day in, say, Magic Kingdom, then HOP to EPCOT (or Hollywood Studios! Or Disney’s Animal Kingdom!) later in the day! [Read more…]
We’ve seen the crowds at Disney World get a little bigger over the past few months, and we now know that capacity at the parks increased to 35 percent just before the holidays.
Magic Kingdom
But how does that compare to New Year’s Eve’s past? Say 2019? Well, we dug into our photo archives to compare, and BOY, things are CRAZY different (we already knew that but seeing pics really puts it into perspective).
Things are constantly changing at Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
Just this month, we saw some restaurants reopen, other spots get new menu items, and a change in Boarding Group distribution times announced for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. December is almost over, but January will bring some even BIGGER changes at Walt Disney World. If you’re planning a trip to Disney World for January 2021, here are the 5 things that will be different there next month.
