food IS a theme park
Happy Earth Week, DFB friends!
Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has been celebrating all month long with sweet treats, special experiences, and visits from rare characters. We even found a new beer! But if you just can’t get enough of Earth Week, there’s a new photo spot where you can mark the occasion.
Can you remove your mask for photos in Disney World? When are tickets for Disneyland going on sale? What’s going on with the Jungle Cruise re-theme? You’ve got questions — we’ve got answers!
Hello Beautiful!
This week was FULL of big news when it comes to masks, Disneyland, transportation between Disney World and the airport, and SO much more! Today we’re breaking down the top 5 Disney news stories you NEED to know about and sharing a whole bunch of updates, so you can be best prepared for your next Disney trip.
Disney World has changed their face mask policy a few times over the last few months.
What Do You Think of This Mask?
Recently, Disney announced a BIG change in its mask policy when it comes to photos. Previously, guests had to keep on their masks at all times (except when actively eating and drinking while stationary and physically distanced from others) — and that meant that masks had to be kept on while taking photos. Disney just made a change to that policy when it comes to outdoor photos and today we got to experience it in action.
We are beyond excited about all the upgrades happening around Disney World for the big 50th anniversary celebration that starts later this year (and lasts until 2023!!!).
A Beautiful Sight at Magic Kingdom!
And it’s going to be QUITE the party, and the whole resort is getting a glow-up so it can look its best for when the celebration begins. Not only is EPCOT going through a massive transformation, but all four parks will see some special effects added to their icons.
In case you missed it, Disneyland Resort is reopening at the end of April! But before that happens, we got a chance to check out the A Touch of Disney event that let us shop — and EAT — all over Disney California Adventure!
Reunited!
But that’s not all we did — because we also got to reunite with characters we hadn’t seen in Disneyland in over a year (we’re not crying, you are!) AND got to have some fun with new photo ops!
It’s only day two of the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, and we’re already having SO much fun!
EPCOT Flower and Garden is here!
We’ve enjoyed trying out all kinds of new food (because, hey, that’s what we do!), checking out the entertainment, and walking around to admire all the gorgeous topiaries!
Guess where we’re at — go ahead, we bet you’ll never guess!
We will never get tired of this view
Okay, so it’s a pretty easy guess, and yes, we’re at Disney World! Again! We had reporters in three parks today, and they had an amazing time riding rides, eating (because, well, that’s what we do), and wandering around EPCOT, Magic Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios living THE life!
It’s not usually a big surprise that holidays tend to bring crowds to Disney World, even at its current 35% limited capacity.
Frontierland Crowds
With today being Valentine’s Day, LOADS of guests flocked to the parks, because who doesn’t want to be at Disney World on the most romantic day of the year? And we’ve got photos and videos to show just how crowded the parks looked!
We have been taking in ALL of the scenes at the new expansion in the France Pavilion at EPCOT! Day or night, this new area is a beauty.
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Area in the France Pavilion
We’re convinced that if we stay there long enough Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is bound to open at some point — right?! Though we don’t have an opening date for the new ride quite yet, we spotted TONS of new merchandise themed after the upcoming ride earlier this year. And people went nuts over it — including us! And now, we have great news for anyone looking for a new world traveling buddy in the form of a talking mouse.
Happy Super Bowl Sunday, everyone!
Cinderella Castle
Although it was a little stormy last night, we had gorgeous blue skies at Disney World today! So come along with us for a beautiful day at Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT!
