The U.K. recently added France to its mandatory quarantine list, meaning that those traveling from the U.K. to Disneyland Paris must quarantine for 14 days after returning to the U.K.

Are you ready to come back to Disney parks in style? With Disney World reopening on July 11th, it may be time to refresh your old luggage. And Disney has just released a few new designs online.
Magic Kingdom
Disney’s newest luggage is a nod to Princesses and Mouse lovers alike! These bags might come in all different sizes but they all share one common theme: ADORABLE. Currently available online at shopDisney, these pieces definitely make a statement!
We’ve been super focused on all the ways that the global health crisis is affecting The Walt Disney Company. It’s hard not to be!
Walt Disney World
But Disney really is only a piece of a much bigger problem. We’ve talked a little bit about the way that air travel has been affected, but the global tourism industry as a whole is taking a massive hit. We’re taking a look at all the ways international travel is being affected as well as what the industry is doing to fix things. Let’s dive in!
The global health crisis seems to be having a ripple effect in pretty much every industry around the world.
Star Wars United Airlines Plane
Of course, this ripple is going to inevitably have an effect on the way our next Disney vacation looks — and it might affect it in some surprising ways. Beyond how different things may be IN the parks, getting to Disney World or Disneyland could look a little different as well.
We’re taking a look at the recent Federal Aid plan that includes a $25 billion Airline Rescue Package. How could that affect your trip to Disney? Let’s find out.

More and more, we’re seeing iconic Disney food depicted as graphics, shapes, and patterns in Disney merchandise. You’ll remember the Mickey Bar-shaped antenna topper and the Mickey breakfast pajama pants, of course. And who can forget the Disney food playset and the Disney food magnets!
