food IS a theme park
We have a lot of questions for Disney World right now.
Mickey Mouse
With potentially delayed attractions, health modifications, and mystery projects; a lot of things are BIG mysteries in the Most Magical Place on Earth. Well, Disney, we need answers to these HUGE questions!
When Disney World reopened in July of 2020, there were some pretty MAJOR changes in place. These include mask mandates, physical distancing guidelines, the cancelation of fireworks, parades, and character meet and greets, and the temporary suspension of FastPass+ and the Disney Dining Plan, just to name a few (not to mention the parks reopened with a freshly-painted pink castle!).
Magic Kingdom
Since then, however, there have only been MORE big changes that could have major impacts on your upcoming Disney World vacation. Some of the guidelines that were in effect last summer are no longer the case in 2021 while others have changed since inception! Let’s take a look at some of the biggest changes in Disney World SINCE July 11th, 2020!
Disney loves to give us difficult decisions to make.
Magic Kingdom
From which UNIQUE piece of merchandise to spend our money on, to how best to get ourselves on Rise of the Resistance; we’re taking a look at the 30 hardest Disney choices we’ve had to make in the last 30 days!
The temperature has started to drop, the fuzzy sweaters are out, and Christmas has started to sweep its way across Disney World!
Christmas Decorations
While the parks will be in a full holiday swing from November 6th through December 30th, entertainment and experiences in the parks and resorts are seeing some MAJOR differences this Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s.
Since the Walt Disney World theme parks reopened a few months ago, we’ve seen various changes including the introduction of systems like the Park Pass Reservation System and the suspension of Fastpass+.
Christmas At Magic Kingdom
The holiday experience at Disney World has also changed significantly. Just recently, we shared some updates with you about the upcoming Christmastime entertainment and offerings that will be available at Disney World this year, but there’s also quite a few Christmas staples that guests won’t be able to experience.
Disney World recently dropped some MAJOR updates for the upcoming holiday season. Some of these announcements included the cancelation of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party as well as the Candlelight Processional in EPCOT.
As unfortunate as these announcements were, they were in-step with other decisions Disney World has made when it comes to large crowd events, like the cancelation of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party 2019
While there were some stories that fell in line with our expectations for how the holiday season would shake out, there were also a few shocking bombshells that quite frankly we did NOT see coming! Here are the top three surprises from Disney World’s holiday news drop this week.
One of the main ideas behind Disney World is that everything is a “show.” That’s why employees in Disney World are called “Cast Members” and why their uniforms are called “costumes.”
Cast Members are the BEST!
Every single costume you see Cast Members wear has been well thought out as to how it can help tell the story of each particular ride, restaurant, shop, or land. Some costumes have stayed with us over the years and have a special place in our hearts, so let’s look at TEN Disney World costumes that we truly love!
Shortly before Disney World’s phased reopenings began on July 11th, Disney announced that they would be cancelling Mickey’s-Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
As for their winter seasonal offerings, Disney World hadn’t quite reached a decision — until today. Disney has just officially announced Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will not take place in 2020.
Disney World’s parks officially reopened in July, but that reopening came with a ton of changes.
Magic Kingdom Entrance
These changes included a face coverings requirement for guests, new social distancing guidelines, and limited park capacity. The parks even recently announced reduced hours after September 8th.
