food IS a theme park
We love exploring Disney’s resorts and finding all of the new goodies!

And we visited MANY of our favorite spots to bring you the latest news! Join us as we check out new food, merchandise, and resort updates (including an Easter Egg display!).
Flexibility has been the motto of the Walt Disney Company over the past year.

And, not just in the Disney Theme Parks. Last year, Disney not only had to face the closure of Disney World and other parks around the world, but they also had to plan for the release of new movies as theaters closed or reopened at a limited capacity. They’ve chosen to release some movies, like Soul, directly to the Disney+ streaming platform, while others have been released both in theaters in and on Disney+ for an extra fee, like Raya and the Last Dragon. So, what is the situation for movie releases moving forward?
It’s just a matter of days before we’ll be able to return to Disney California Adventure for the “A Touch of Disney” even taking place!
Disneyland Gate
While we’re already looking forward to all the food booths, there’s an extra bit of entertainment you can enjoy ahead of “A Touch of Disney” AND Disneyland’s grand reopening soon, which we should hear more about soon.
We spend a LOT of time in Disney World!
Tree of Life in Disney World’s Animal Kingdom
And that means we’re here to tell you every little change that we spot in the parks. Over the past few days, we’ve been popping into Disney’s Animal Kingdom and now we’ve got an update on everything NEW in food, construction, and merchandise.
Okay, be honest with us, how many times have you watched Disney’s new animated movie Raya and the Last Dragon?
Raya and the Last Dragon sculpture — made with SAND!
The movie released in theaters and on Disney+ Premiere Access a few weeks ago and there’s been a continuing explosion of Raya merchandise, food, and experiences since. Even McDonald’s is getting in on the action and making their Happy Meals even happier with Disney toys. And, heck, we were so inspired by the journey that Raya and her band of misfits took that we whipped up our own Raya-inspired Starbucks drinks! Well, now there’s a way to learn more about the journey to find the last dragon from home!
Disney+ has been all the rage lately! You’d have to have been cryogenically frozen to escape the buzz surrounding WandaVision or Raya and the Last Dragon, not to mention the onslaught of upcoming shows and movies!

But with all the hoopla, it might behoove you to remember that Disney+ is increasing its prices VERY soon, so it’s good to be prepared!
