food IS a theme park
Now is a GREAT time to be a Disney World fan — so many exciting changes are happening!
EPCOT
We’re getting ready to celebrate the 30th Anniversary Celebration of The Lion King at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, not to mention the new meet and greet at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and the official opening of CommuniCore Hall & Plaza in EPCOT — including another new meet and greet. And, we spotted another change because a new attraction has been added to Genie+ at EPCOT!
A NEW Disney character meet-and-greet location is about to open in EPCOT, and we can’t wait for you to see it.
EPCOT
Previously, you could meet Disney pals at the Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival, but Mickey and the gang decided it was time for an UPGRADE, so let’s head to the brand-new CommuniCore Hall to check out the new spot! [Read more…]
There are lots of spring festivities happening right now in Disneyland! We have spotted adorable popcorn buckets and even hunted for Easter eggs around the resort.
Disneyland Hotel
And now a Disneyland restaurant is also getting a CHANGE for spring! What better time for a little restaurant refresh than spring, right? Come with us to see what’s new!
Spring has sprung in Walt Disney World! Spring Break crowds are here, Flower & Garden is in full swing, and Spring treats have arrived! Spring also means a big CHANGE for one restaurant in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Let’s head to Hollywood Studios!
We are making our way down Hollywood Boulevard to get another taste of spring at the parks. The characters are getting their best outfits ready, and we are bringing some hungry bellies.
Springtime is in full swing at Disney World!
Spring is here!
With the International Flower and Garden Festival over at EPCOT, the Grand Cottage in the Grand Floridian, and chocolate Easter egg displays around hotels, there are so many fun things to see and do at Disney World this spring. Now a new springtime experience has started in Hollywood Studios!
Can you really ever have too many Disney cups and mugs? Okay, that was a trick question, because the answer is OBVIOUSLY, “No.”
ALL the mugs!
The one thing about cups and mugs is that they’re useful, so there’s always a good excuse to buy more. Some cups are more popular than others; we have seen people wait for a LONG time for Trader Sam’s tiki mugs (okay, it’s us — we LOVE THEM). We’ve also seen Starbucks cups sell out FAST in Disney World. Well, speaking of that…we’ve got a whole NEW collection of mugs, as well as a new Starbucks cup, to show you.
One of the best parts of visiting Disney World is meeting the characters.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Sometimes, characters wander the parks without any official schedule, and you just might bump into them. You may also see special characters during shows and parades. Plus, you can even meet characters at some dining experiences. However, other characters have set meet-and-greet locations, and new spots get added ALL the time. Well, TWO characters now have new spots where they’re meeting guests in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
You can certainly find some cute Disney merchandise in the parks and online.
Inside Island Mercantile
Between new Minnie ears, new bags, and new clothes, you can find lots of cute Disney items. But these NEW Disney items are some of the CUTEST things we’ve seen in a while!
Halloween is just around the corner, but in some Disney parks, it has already started.
Halloween is coming!
In Disney World, Halloween has begun with Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicking off on August 11th. The Emporium is filled with Halloween merch and Main Street is decorated with pumpkins. While Halloween has not yet hit Disneyland just yet, there is a lot to look forward to on the west coast.
Waiting in long lines at Disney World can be tough — but we waited in one on the Fourth of July that was TOTALLY worth it.
EPCOT
Disney has been celebrating the Fourth of July with all kinds of special things — fireworks at Magic Kingdom, fireworks at EPCOT, special snacks, and even a flyover. But there’s one special experience you’ll want to wait for even if the line is long.
