food IS a theme park
Labor Day weekend in Walt Disney World is shaping up to be quite busy.
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
Park Pass Reservations have been filling up fast, but we recently caught an update to the Park Pass availability page, and it looks like some significant changes have been made!
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance has quickly become a fan-favorite in Walt Disney World.

It has also become one of the more difficult attractions to get onto. If you’re lucky enough to get on the ride in Disney’s Hollywood Studios sometime soon, be on the lookout for an extra special surprise.
It’s D23’s anniversary! And they’re celebrating in a big way!
Rey and Chewbacca
We’ve already checked out all the ways that D23 is celebrating this big anniversary, but now we’re taking a closer look at some exciting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge information that we’ve heard during the festivities! Thanks to the Inside Disney podcast, we know a little bit more about merchandise, easter eggs, and more from Disney’s Batuu! Let’s check it out!
It’s almost time to celebrate Labor Day in Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
While Raglan Road has canceled its Great Irish Hooley this year in Disney Springs, other restaurants in the resorts will be extending their hours for guests to dine longer throughout the weekend.
Disney World definitely looks and feels a little different now than it did back in March before the historic closures began. And while the only constant at Disney is change, one thing has seemed to hold steady. Rise of the Resistance is just as popular as it has ever been!

This highly immersive attraction is STILL running out of those coveted Boarding Groups in seconds each and every day. So if this ride is at the top of your must-do list, you won’t have an easier time getting to ride, even with limited park capacity! Here are three things you need to be aware of if you’re visiting Disney World in the near future and your travel must-dos include riding Rise of the Resistance!
The little green Space Aliens from Toy Story have been busy lately (re)mixing things up with some of our other favorite Pixar characters.

But today we spotted our green friend in a more…unique form.
We hadn’t seen ANY new souvenir popcorn buckets since Disney World reopened — until today.
Refilled Bucket
We were in Hollywood Studios today checking out the glitz and glamor when we spotted something pretty interesting. The FIRST new souvenir popcorn bucket since Disney World reopened has arrived in the parks. And…well…we think it may have gotten a little lost on the way here.
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise, food, entertainment, and construction to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
All four theme parks in Walt Disney World have now reopened to guests.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Since the reopening, we’ve seen a number of changes including changes in certain policies, additions to My Disney Experience, and many more. In fact, we shared with you just a little while ago that park hours would be changing in early September. Now we’ve actually got a peek at what park hours will be a bit further out this year.
UPDATE: Since this post was originally written, the Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group process has changed quite a bit. Guests can currently grab a boarding group at 7AM and 1PM. To try for a pass at 7AM, guests no longer have to be in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. You can grab a pass from anywhere as long as you and your party have a Park Pass Reservation for Hollywood Studios. For the 1PM slot, guests must be in the park to get a pass.
What’s more difficult — getting a Boarding Group for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance or getting Splash Mountain merchandise?
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
Seriously, it may be more difficult to get Splash Mountain merchandise at this point, but getting a Boarding Group for Rise of the Resistance can be quite the endeavor. We recently got confirmation, though, of a new change that makes it WAY easier for guests traveling with friends or family to get a boarding group.
