food IS a theme park
Disney’s 100th Anniversary Celebration kicked off at the beginning of the year, and the party is still going strong.

Although we’re just starting to see some 100th anniversary things in Disney World, Disneyland is where the party is REALLY happening. There are all kinds of decorations throughout the park celebrating the big event PLUS Sleeping Beauty Castle got a SERIOUS makeover.
When it comes to amazing food and great shopping, Disney Springs really can’t be beat.
Disney Springs
First, you don’t even need a park ticket to go there because it’s free! Second, it’s home to the LARGEST Disney store in the world (World of Disney). Third, it also has some of the BEST restaurants (hello, Wine Bar George and Homecomin‘) AND snack spots (we’re lookin’ at you, Gideon’s Bakehouse). So let’s hop on over to Disney Springs to see what’s new!
Magic Kingdom is THE place to be right now, which probably explains why it’s nearly impossible to get park pass reservations there this week.

A lot of that has to do with the official opening of TRON Lightcycle / Run, but we’re also seeing a lot of Spring Break crowds, Easter crowds, and Happily Ever After fans showing up in the parks. While all that is going on, though, we’ve been checking out everything new, so let’s get on with some updates.
Let’s go visit EPCOT!
EPCOT
EPCOT has been going through a huge transformation recently, which is expected to wrap up at the end of this year. All the construction walls haven’t stopped us from enjoying our time in the park, though! While we were there on a recent trip, we spotted some restocked merch that we wanted to let you know about.
Welcome back to EPCOT, DFB readers!

There have been a lot of updates in this park. EPCOT Forever fireworks have returned to the park (and we saw some pretty unusual crowds at the reopening too), and we recently got another look inside Journey of Water with Bob Iger. But that’s not all! Let’s see what’s new in EPCOT.
When it comes down to it, there are a few fan favorites that seem to reign supreme in the hierarchy of Disney park bags.
Look at all those bags!
One of the most popular bag brands is Loungefly — available in a seemingly endless array of designs, colors, and theming. New Loungefly designs pop up almost constantly. But buying these bags can also get expensive. But now we found an Amazon-exclusive Loungefly set that’s ON SALE, and it might be too good of a deal for you to pass up!
There are BIG changes happening in Disney World.

Disney Enchantment and Harmonious have played their last shows, Happily Ever After and EPCOT Forever are back, TRON Lightcycle / Run has opened, and there are so many exciting things to do. But what’s going on over at Disney World’s Resorts? Come with us to find out!
TRON Lightcycle / Run is currently having a soft opening, but it’s official opening date is on April 4th.

But that’s not the only NEW TRON thing coming to Magic Kingdom. First, a new snack kiosk has opened with some very interesting treats. We previously told you about a new pop-up shop coming to Tomorrowland, too, and here’s your reminder that it opens TOMORROW.
Okay, who doesn’t love a sale?
Disney merch sale alert!
We certainly love any kind of deal or discount, so we think you probably feel the same. That’s why we’re going to remind you about a HUGE sale happening over on shopDisney — and today is the last day to score those discounts!
