food IS a theme park
We know lots of things about the Disney parks but we also like to hear from YOU!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
We’ve definitely got our fair share of Disney park opinions and we know you do too. That’s why we love to reach out to our readers via social media to see what YOU’RE thinking about Disney World and beyond. Recently, we asked out toughest question yet and the answer surprised us! How would you have answered?
We’ve been anxiously awaiting the day we can finally enjoy an out-of-this-world meal at Space 220!

At this new EPCOT restaurant, guests will board an elevator that takes them into orbit as they travel to the Centauri Space Station above the Earth. While dining 220 miles above the Earth’s surface (hence the restaurant’s name!) guests will be treated to a full panoramic view of space!
Earlier this year, Disney World Annual Passholders were given the option to cancel their passes in exchange for a partial refund.

When the Disney World parks reopened, there were a number of health and safety changes implemented that impact the guest experience. Some of these changes include the temporary pause on parades, fireworks, and character meet-and-greets, lack of park hopping, and the need to obtain a Disney Park Pass reservation to enter.
After the longest closure in Disney World history, the parks have now reopened to guests.
Main Street, U.S.A.
Upon reopening, the parks implemented a number of new safety measures for the health of both guests and Cast Members. These changes include reduced park capacity, Disney Park Pass reservations required for entry, face masks required for all Cast Members and guests age two and older, social distancing measures, and more.

We’re daydreaming of our next trip to the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival!
Duck Confit Poutine
When it comes to the Epcot Food and Wine Festival, we’re constantly impressed by the awesome menu items Disney brings to the table — literally! Every year we put together our Best of the Fest List with all of our must-eat items from the Festival (c’mon Frothy Ramen!) but we wanted to know what eats our readers can’t stop thinking about! So, we asked our Instagram followers, “What menu items do you hope return to Epcot Food and Wine this year?” And here were the most popular responses!

Disney World is taking its first step towards resuming operations, with the phased reopening of Disney Springs starting on May 20th. The Disney Springs reopening plan includes several health and safety measures, one of which is required face coverings for both guests and Cast Members.
Cinderella Castle
And since masks are mandatory, we wanted to know if our readers think Disney should provide them for guests.
Who’s dreaming of setting sail on a Disney Cruise??
The Disney Wonder
We love the totally immersive experience that Disney Cruise Line gives us! But with the current increased health and safety concerns about cruising, we wanted to know how our readers feel about getting back on board.
Currently, all Disney Cruise Line departures through June 18th are canceled, and Vancouver and European sailings are postponed even longer (through June 30th and July 2nd, respectively.) So, when the ships do take to the high seas again, would you be ready to set sail with Captain Mickey? [Read more…]
One thing we’re sure about in the midst of this situation is that we WILL return Disney World! Eventually.
Magic Kingdom
Disney World has been closed since March 16th, and the park gates will remain shuttered “until further notice.” But just in the last few days we’ve seen a LOT of updates and confirmation about what Disney World will be like when it reopens.
Disney Springs will begin Disney World’s phased reopening on May 20th, and Disney World has confirmed that guests will be required to where face coverings. Disney World has also confirmed that rides, attractions, and other experiences may be modified or closed in order to protect guests and cast members during the theme parks’ reopening phases. And the Walt Disney Company has also stated that they are currently considering using more virtual queues and implementing more modifications like capacity limits in the parks when they reopen.
So with all of these changes, we asked our readers if we should even go to Disney World when things are so topsy-turvy. Here’s what they said.
