food IS a theme park
All four Walt Disney World theme parks have reopened, as have many of the Resort hotels, but some things like the water parks and certain restaurants and hotels remain closed.
Winter Summerland
Winter Summerland Miniature Golf — one of the mini golf courses in Disney World — had not yet reopened but that all changed today!
The global health crisis has been a challenge for the travel industry, particularly for Disney, which operates theme parks around the world.
Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland
And although Disneyland still remains closed for the time being, one Disney-related attraction in California will reopen soon.
We’re still shocked that some popular restaurants have not reopened at Disney World (come back to us Casey’s Corner!), but little by little more spots are starting to reopen.
Spaceship Earth
Recently, at EPCOT Chefs de France in the France pavilion reopened, as well as Pizza al Taglio in the Italy pavilion. Now, a quick service spot in another EPCOT pavilion is back up and running!
We’ve been making our way around Disney’s Hollywood Studios today and enjoying all of the new things there, including the newly reopened Frozen Sing-Along show.
Hollywood Studios Entrance
But, what’s a good park day without a little shopping? While Hollywood Studios is full of fun shops with all kinds of unique merchandise, today we noticed that another shop has officially reopened.Â
When will Disneyland reopen? It’s a BIG question we’ve yet to get the answer to.
Disneyland Main Entrance
Recently, we’ve seen some signs that could show Disneyland is getting prepared for its reopening, whenever that comes. But, what will Disneyland look like when it does reopen? How many guests can we expect to see walking through those gates? Some new data analysis is starting to give us a better idea.
We’ve SERIOUSLY missed Casey’s Corner and those delicious corn dog nuggets with plastic cheese!
Casey’s Corner
Right now, Casey’s Corner is still closed, but, when we stopped by Magic Kingdom today, we spotted some changes in the area that could mean this quick service spot is on its way to reopening soon!
No one’s slick as Gaston, no one rides horses like Gaston, no one reopens a restaurant like Gaston!
Gaston in Magic Kingdom
That’s right! A little while ago we spotted some signs that seemed to suggest Gaston’s Tavern in Magic Kingdom would be reopening soon. Then, we got some official confirmation that it would be opening on Friday, September 4th. So, of course, we made our way over there today to check it out!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios experienced a few hiccups yesterday!
Rise of the Resistance
Issues surrounding a HUGE lightning strike that occurred the night before potentially played a role in Rise of the Resistance’s temporary shut down yesterday. But we’re happy to report that all systems appear to be normal again this morning!
Who’s ready to check out some Alex and Ani bracelets, Pandora charms, Loungefly backpacks, and all the latest Dooney & Bourke styles?
Ever After
That’s right — one of our favorite stores at Disney Springs which carries all of these lines has just reopened today — Ever After Jewelry Co. & Accessories! Let’s go check it out!
While Planet Hollywood was one of the first restaurants in Disney Springs to announce they’d be reopening on May 2oth, we were surprised to find the restaurant unexpectedly closed down last week!
Planet Hollywood
But while walking off our Birthday Cake Shake from the newly reopened Vivoli il Gelato in Disney Springs today, we found out Planet Hollywood is open once AGAIN!
