There is SO much going on at Disneyland right now. The resort reopened back in late April, but we’ve already experienced the grand opening of a new land — Avengers Campus, as well as the reopening of several restaurants!
Welcome Back to Disneyland!
Disney recently shared that even MORE restaurants would be reopening soon, including Wine Country Trattoria and Oga’s Cantina. And we’re happy to report that reservations are NOW open for those two popular spots and more!
It’s hard to believe it’s been over a year since Disney World reopened after closing due to the global pandemic.
Arcades have reopened!
And although some places are still closed to guests, we’re beginning to see more things reopen, including water parks and restaurants. And now something else at Disney World has reopened.
ALERT!! We have a very important food update!!
Ohana Appetizers featuring Honey-Coriander Chicken Wings and Noodles!

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Disney just announced that a ton of restaurants are reopening on both coasts — and that includes one of our very favorites, ‘Ohana. But if you’ve been getting excited over ‘Ohana Bread Pudding and all-you-care-to-enjoy breakfast (and trust us, we are too!), you may have missed something. What’s going on with ‘Ohana’s noodles?!
Disney World is continuing with its phased reopening.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
And that means that we’re seeing attractions, restaurants, and hotels reopening all around property! We’ve been getting EXCITED to visit Tusker House again in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but now, it seems like we’ve got lots more to look forward to. Because Disney just announced that one of our favorite restaurants is officially reopening!
A LOT has changed at Disney World since the beginning of the year, and we’re starting to see the resort taking steps back toward what was considered “normal” pre-closure.
Will FastPass return to Disney World soon?
Recently, Disney World increased capacity, did away with temperature checks, began to reduce social distancing, and changed its face coverings policy. But there are still some Disney World programs that have not yet returned, most notably FastPass+.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen Disney World update its health and safety policies several times.
Temperature Checks have been removed from the parks.
Temperature checks were phased out, mask requirements have been relaxed, and physical distancing is being reduced all around the parks and resorts. Today, we noticed another update to the physical distancing requirements on Disney’s website!
As Disney World continues with its phased reopening, certain elements or experiences remain unavailable.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa
However, while certain hotels, restaurants, and attractions are still closed, we’re slowly seeing others reopen. Earlier this year, Disney’s Beach Club Resort reopened in full, and Tusker House welcomed guests again! But if you’re planning a stay at a Disney hotel, you’ll want to know about another returning option.
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted a number of different industries around the world, caused Disney World and Disney’s theme parks around the world to close, and delayed a number of projects that were set to come to its parks and resorts.

One the projects that ended up getting delayed was the premiere of Cirque du Soleil’s new show, “Drawn to Life,” which was set to debut in Disney Springs in the spring of 2020. But, now things have started to change. Disney World is increasing capacity, the COVID-19 vaccine is available to more individuals, Broadway is set to reopen later this year, and various other rules and regulations have changed in the movie theater industry and more. So, what’s going on with Cirque du Soleil and what could it mean for their Disney World show? Here’s what we know.
