food IS a theme park
Okay, who’s an Alice in Wonderland fan? Get ready to tumble down the rabbit hole!
Care for any tea?
We loved Mary Blair’s collection of Alice in Wonderland items, and now there’s another Alice-inspired Disney World souvenir you’re going to LOVE.
Take a breath. Imagine for a second that the computer, phone, etc. in front of you has disappeared. You find yourself on Main Street, U.S.A.. Around you, you can hear the sound of guests talking and laughing. In the distance, you hear some of the background music for this beautiful spot. And then it hits you — the distinct and gorgeous voices of the Dapper Dans reach your ears and your heart and your soul are filled with joy. LIVE MUSIC folks. Sometimes there’s just nothing better than live music.
The Dapper Dans — Seriously, the BEST
Although Disney World has ALL kinds of entertainment to enjoy at the resorts, in the parks, and at Disney Springs, sometimes all you really want is to just listen to some great live music. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, a night out, want to hit the town in Disney style, or are just a lover of music and want to fill your day with those glorious sounds, we’ve put together a list of EVERYWHERE you can see live music at Disney World. So let’s get ready to jam out! 🎵
Well, it was bound to happen — you can now get a Harmonious Spirit Jersey at EPCOT!
EPCOT
But that’s not the only NEW thing we’ve found at EPCOT recently. For example, we’ve been keeping an eye on the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind construction (we are STOKED for this ride), checking the Disney World website every day for an opening date for the upcoming Connections Café, and checking out all the new food and merchandise.
Hello from EPCOT!
The EPCOT Monorail
We’ve been visiting EPCOT regularly to check out what’s new, and we have to say we’re SO excited to see the first of the EPCOT Festival of the Arts booths turning up — we are READY! But we’ve also been visiting every pavilion and every shop to keep you up to date on new merchandise as it arrives. So let’s get on with the updates!
To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
COVID-19 continues to impact theme parks, travel plans, and more around the world.
COVID-19 Health and Safety Sign
Just this week, we saw that Hong Kong Disneyland will be closing temporarily due to COVID-19 concerns. We also saw some record daily numbers hit in terms of COVID-19 cases in the United States. The CDC has also updated certain recommendations regarding isolation and quarantine, and we’ve seen updates on COVID-19 boosters. Now we’ve gotten an update regarding COVID-19 testing in another part of the world.
When it comes to great beverages, it’s hard to beat EPCOT’s World Showcase, where you can — quite literally — drink around the world without ever leaving the park.
Don’t drink ALL the margaritas
We asked our team about the best drinks you can get around World Showcase and put together the ultimate World Showcase Drink Crawl!
Many International travelers have not been able to visit Disney World since the parks reopened in July 2020.

With travel limits being lifted for international visitors coming to the United States soon, Disney fans abroad might be looking to start planning Disney World trips soon. Disney has just introduced a new ticket for guests in two European countries and not only does it have some special benefits, but it also lets ticket holders purchase Disney Genie+ at a discount!

Lots of things have changed over the past few months when it comes to COVID-19 and travel.
Orlando Airport
We’ve seen updates announced when it comes to COVID-19 situations in local counties, updates made to Disney World’s mask mandate, and more. Recently, we also shared that travel restrictions and guidelines for international travel to the U.S. will soon be changing, and now we’ve got another update!
Hello to all our DFB friends!
Ah. Peaceful… .
It’s been a busy week! Halloween is OFFICIALLY on at Disney World (and we attended the first-ever After Hours Boo Bash). And the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is still going on, too (and we’ve got some more food booths opening soon). But what else is happening at EPCOT? Well, here are the latest updates!
If you’re a Disney history fanatic, then you know that the parks are filled with rich backstories and intriguing details.
There are a lot of things you may not know about EPCOT!
EPCOT is no exception, with a history spanning nearly 4 decades. World Showcase is perhaps the most interesting part of the park, with 11 different countries represented throughout in unique ways. Each pavilion is such a solid interpretation of each country’s culture that it may leave you wondering how Disney pulls it off. But does Disney actually run these pavilions? Who owns the World Showcase pavilions, anyway?Â
