food IS a theme park
It seems like things are constantly changing over at EPCOT!
EPCOT
We just saw the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction launch into action, and now we’re seeing more progress on the construction of Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana, as well as preparations for the 2022 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. And with so much going on, we popped into EPCOT to bring you the latest updates!
Greetings from the West Coast, DFB Friends!
Hello from Pixar Pier!
There is a LOT going on right now over here in Disneyland — Pride Month has arrived (along with a SLEW of new snacks), the Soul of Jazz exhibit has officially opened, Blue Bayou Restaurant has reopened, and Magic Key Pass sales have been paused! Oh, and Fantasmic! and Tale of the Lion King are back! Whew — it’s a lot. But we’ve got ALL the updates from Disneyland, so let’s get started!
Welcome back to Magic Kingdom.
Simply magical
We don’t know about you, but we get a little teary-eyed every time we see Cinderella Castle (and it’s even more magical with its 50th anniversary makeover). Walking down Main Street, U.S.A. listening to the Dapper Dans — AWWW! It’s the best feeling in the world. We’ve been there recently, just taking in all that magic and nostalgia, but also seeing what kind of updates we could discover.
Is it just us or is Disney’s Animal Kingdom one of the most beautiful parks in Disney World?
The Tree of Life
We love that there is so much greenery (and shade because, y’all, it’s been HOT and muggy). Then there are the little hidden details most people never notice. We might even argue that Animal Kingdom is Disney World’s best park! We were there just recently, checking everything out and getting details on everything new.
Hello from the West Coast!
Disneyland Monorail
We’ve had an exciting week at Disneyland Resort (and at Star Wars Celebration). So much fun stuff is happening right now — even Boba Fett and Fennec Shand have arrived in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland! So what else has been going on? Well, let’s find out!
What’s going on in Disney’s Hollywood Studios?
Tower of Terror
Merchandise, merchandise, merchandise. Seriously — the park was stuffed with new items. Items based on Marvel, Disney Princesses, Star Wars — everything. So we hope you’re in the mood to shop, because we’re about to take a look at what’s new in Hollywood Studios…and spoiler alert…it’s a ton of new merchandise!
If you’re not going to Disney Springs during your Disney World trip, you might be missing out!
Disney Springs
On what, you may ask? Well, dozens of unique stores with cool merchandise, some of the BEST restaurants in all of Disney World, and several particularly fun and over-the-top snacks! Plus, the shopping and dining complex has several entertainment options with live music, Cirque du Soleil, a movie theater, and more. BUT if you haven’t been in a minute, some things have changed — so today, we’re sharing everything that’s new in Disney Springs!
Celebrate Soulfully returned to Disneyland Resort earlier this year, but there’s still so much to look forward to!

This summer, Disneyland will continue to celebrate Black heritage and culture as well as Black Music Month with the debut of “Tale of the Lion King,” the appearance of the“Soul of Jazz” exhibit, music (of course), and special treats! Speaking of treats, we got a sneak peek of what food and drinks this event has to offer. WARNING: Do NOT read this post hungry!
Disney World is way more than theme parks. It’s also Disney Springs PLUS all the wonderfully-themed Disney World hotels.
Caribbean Beach Resort
Whether you want to feel like you’re vacationing on the French Riviera or spending time at a beach in the Caribbean or reliving pop culture nostalgia, each Disney World hotel is unique and has its own kind of charm. We visit the hotels often to see what’s been going on at them, so let’s get to the latest round of hotel updates!
Magic Kingdom hit some rough patches this past week.
Cinderella Castle
While a lot of new merchandise hit the park over the past couple of days, there were also some issues, like missing food offerings, canceled entertainment, and an early closing. So let’s dive deeper into what’s going on at the Magic Kingdom!
