food IS a theme park
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Not only because of the holidays (naturally), but because it’s birthday time for a very special someone at Disney World!Â
Walt Disney
That’s right: light up 119 candles, because December 5 is Walt Disney’s birthday! And we found the PERFECT gift to celebrate — and commemorate!Â
In the middle of the glitz and glitter of Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the classic Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant.
The Hollywood Brown Derby
The Brown Derby is a swanky signature restaurant inspired by the real Brown Derby restaurant(s) in California (more on that in a bit!). The cozy lounge-feel of the restaurant is the perfect setting for a romantic night-out or when your travel group is feeling fancy! We recently headed back to the Brown Derby to see how the restaurant has adapted since the theme parks reopened. Do they still toss the Cobb Salad at your table? Is the Grapefruit Cake still fantastic? What about the drinks?! Let’s find out!
We spend a lot of time staring at menus at Disney World, mostly because we’re obsessed with food, but also because we like to know when new stuff shows up!
German Beer Flight
We do the same for drinks, too — because drink menus seem to change more than food menus and new drinks are ALWAYS turning up! So when we see something new, we try it out!
We started our new year off with some AMAZING Disney news — Park Hopping officially returned to Disney World on January 1st, 2021!
Disney World
We know there are a LOT of questions about this big change, and we’re here to help! With that being said, since we still have to book our park passes ahead of time, which park should we choose to visit first thing in the morning?
Disney World foodies, it’s a great day for us!
Disney World
Disney just announced that not one, not two, but THREE fan-favorite Disney World restaurants will be reopening this month and next. Let’s check out WHEN and WHICH restaurants we’ll be chowing down in once again!

…And one of those dates is October 1st, 2021. On that day, Walt Disney World is celebrating a BIG anniversary — its 50th!!
Want to grab lunch at Animal Kingdom but dinner at EPCOT? When the Disney World theme parks reopened earlier this year, park hopping was suspended. Currently, you can only visit one park per day.

But, things are about to change! Disney just announced that Park Hopping will be returning on January 1st, 2021, with some modifications. Disney has also sent out an email to Annual Passholders about this update.
Even though Walt Disney World’s theme parks have been reopened since mid-July, one aspect of the parks has been missing: park hopping.
Disney World Monorail
During Disney World’s initial reopening phase, the Park Pass system was implemented, and guests could only visit one park per day. Starting January 1st, 2021 that will change.
