food IS a theme park
Sometimes, Disney World is not exactly the magical place you expected.

Now, we’re not talking about things like rides going down (those are just minor inconveniences). We’re not even talking about those random Florida storms that roll through the parks almost daily. We’re not even thinking about those small transportation problems we occasionally encounter. No, we’re talking about what other people are doing in the parks that make us cringe.
More than a year has gone by since Disney World’s theme parks closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It’s Been Quite the Year
A whole bunch of things have changed since then. Restaurants have reopened, hotels have become available for guests to enjoy again, and fan-favorite shows and experiences have returned. So, today we’re taking a trip in our virtual time machine and taking a look at some of the very BEST moments from the last year in Disney World. Ready to come on this happy journey with us?
It’s been quite the month in Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
We’ve been keeping you updated on the biggest updates from Disney World over the past few months, but June was full of HUGE updates that will likely affect your next trip. Not only did health and safety change in the parks, but we got some exciting news on fireworks, new nighttime shows, and MORE!
As things slowly, but surely have started to return to normal in Disney World, attractions have started to drift back to the way they used to be prior to the closures. And, that means pre-shows are being reinstated after being closed as a previous health and safety measure.
Rise of the Resistance pre-show
We’ve been able to see the opening scenes again at spots like the Haunted Mansion, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Tower of Terror, and Dinosaur, among others. Now another pre-show is back and we had to give you all the details!
Things have slowly been returning to “normal” around Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
Recently, Disney World has made updates to the face mask policy, social distancing requirements, and even announced the upcoming return of fireworks. We’ve also started to see some of the previously paused attraction pre-shows return. And today, we spotted one of our absolute FAVORITES back in action!
Disney World is slowly returning to pre-COVID operations.
Cinderella Castle
We’re seeing restaurants and hotels reopening, health and safety measures shifting, and suspended events returning. But not everything is as it was before just yet! There are still quite a few things that haven’t returned to Disney World since the extended closure last year.
