food IS a theme park
It’s been a pretty wild week for Disney news!
Magic Kingdom
We found out when Happily Ever After and EPCOT Forever would return to Disney World, free parking is now available for hotel guests, Genie+ is getting a new perk, Park Pass Reservations are changing for Annual Passholders, and more.
