food IS a theme park
If you’ve ever found yourself pining for real life Toy Story toys (and who hasn’t?!), then we’ve got some exciting news for you!Â
Toy Story Land
Disney World JUST added new toys at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and beyond making sounds and phrases, they actually TALK!Â
Things may come and go in Disney World as the re-opening of the parks is an evolving situation. While some attractions that we may love have returned, others are taking a hiatus or closing altogether.
Recently, live entertainment hasn’t been back in the parks in the capacity that we’ve been used to in the past. Parades have been switched out for Character Cavalcades, fireworks are just starting to be tested again after being suspended, and character meet-and-greets are currently on a break (even though there are still a few modified character dining options in the parks and resorts).
Since the reopening, we’ve seen a few character dining experiences return.
Mickey and Pluto!
You can now see Cinderella (very quickly) at Cinderella’s Royal Table, wave at the Beast in Be Our Guest Restaurant, and get some fun photos with Mickey and some of his friends at Garden Grill Restaurant and Topolino’s Terrace. Today, character dining also returned to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, with a Halloween twist!
After Disney World’s reopening, we slowly began to see weekend park pass availability beginning to fill up for Annual Passholders on a regular basis, particularly with Disney’s Hollywood Studios. (Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is still a HUGE draw.)
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
And most recently, we noticed that weekends in October were beginning to fill up for Annual Passholders.
Bright Suns, traveler! This summer Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge celebrated its first anniversary! It is impossible to fathom — it feels like just yesterday that we were walking through the gates to The Black Spire Outpost for the first time. We get chills just thinking about it!
Oga’s Cantina at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Hollywood Studios
Traditionally the first-anniversary gift is paper, but we always find it best to celebrate with something of the food or drink variety. Disney Parks Blog is here with an assist. They’ve published the recipe for the famous, non-alcoholic, Cliff Dweller.Â
Hello, everyone, from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Mickey Mouse at Hollywood Studios
So what’s new at Disney’s Hollywood Studios since the last time we checked in? Not a lot, but here’s what we found.
Who’s the cutest alien in the galaxy? No, it’s not Stitch but he’s a close second.
Baby Yoda from The Mandalorian
We’re looking at more Baby Yoda merchandise today and we’re not mad about it. Okay, we know, they want us to call him “The Child,” but frankly, we just can’t get behind it. Baby Yoda he shall be until The Mandalorian creators give him a new name. Oh, did we mention he can ride on your shoulder now?
Halloween ears have been scaring up a storm this year, and we’re not complaining!
Jack ‘O Lantern Ears
From the sweet Halloween Candy Minnie Ears to the spooky Witch Minnie Ears, we’re having a hard time not snagging them all. One of our favorite pairs of spooky ears this year has been kind of hard to find — until today, that is! The Jack ‘O Lantern Mickey Ears have FINALLY made it to Disney World!
The Disney World park hours have been changing a lot in recent weeks.
Disney World
Overall, the hours were shortened coming into September with Disney announcing an extension for select parks coming in November. Additionally, we spotted small hours extensions in Animal Kingdom and EPCOT this Saturday and just Animal Kingdom on Sunday. Now, the rest of the parks are following suit.
Spooky season is upon us…and we could not be happier!
