food IS a theme park
It’s hard to believe Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration is over.
50th Celebration Cupcake
We spent 18 months enjoying all the fun decor, merchandise, and more during the festivities. However, we MOSTLY enjoyed all the great snacks, but now that the celebration is over, menus at Disney World restaurants have changed.
Frozen fans are NEVER going to “Let It Go.”
Anna and Elsa
Frozen recently took over part of Disney World’s Blizzard Beach. Frozen-themed lands are planned for Disneyland Paris and Tokyo DisneySea. Frozen Ever After almost always has long lines at EPCOT in Disney World. But we’ll admit we were still surprised when we learned that a Frozen 3 was in the works. We weren’t the only ones, though.
Lately, we’ve seen tons of changes in the Disney World parks.
Changes are coming!
Princesses are back at Cinderella’s Royal Table, and we can also look forward to the temporary return of nighttime shows like Happily Ever After and EPCOT Forever. But it’s not just the parks that are undergoing changes — Disney Springs is getting some adjustments too!
Magic Kingdom is BUSY right now — so much is going on.
Magic Kingdom
A lot of that has to do with the new attraction TRON / Lightcycle Run, which opens in the park NEXT MONTH. We’ve already been on the ride (and it was WILD), and we’ve seen a new addition added to Tomorrowland at its exit. But we’ve got even MORE updates happening in Magic Kingdom, so let’s get to those!
Is Disney’s Hollywood Studios the best park at Disney World?
Daisy and Donald at Hollywood Studios
Well, if you love old Hollywood, Star Wars, Toy Story, and The Twilight Zone, you might very well say “yes!” Whatever the case, we love wandering around Hollywood Studios and just taking it all in, visiting the shops, eating the food, and checking out the merchandise. So let’s see what’s new there, shall we?
Disneyland has already gone through some MAJOR changes this year.
Mickey 100th anniversary statue in Disneyland
The entire resort has been transformed to celebrate the Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary. A NEW ride has opened. The Magic Happens parade is back! It’s a lot to keep up with. But we’re doing our best to make sure we get you all the updates, so let’s see what else is new at Disneyland Resort!
“Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba Sithi uhm ingonyama.” Yep, we’re singing that iconic Zulu introduction to “Circle of Life” because that song reminds us of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. (Also, yes, we googled how to spell the lyrics.)
The Tree of Life
We can’t help it — it’s the song that comes to mind every time we look up at the gorgeous Tree of Life. We’ll also admit to hearing it often because we LOVE Festival of the Lion King. Animal Kingdom just has something the other Disney World parks don’t — it’s got a relaxed vibe, LOADS of animals, cheeseburger pods, and lots of trees (and that means shade, which other parks are sorely lacking). So let’s head on over to this chill park and see what’s new!
EPCOT has been a hotbed of activity in Disney World for several years now.
EPCOT Festival of the Arts
The park is still in the middle of a massive transformation, and if you’ve visited recently, you’ve probably been surrounded by construction walls in the front of the park. That’s because Imagineers are working on a new Moana-themed attraction, as well as some other things. But what else is going on at EPCOT? Well, let’s find out.
EPCOT is a seriously underrated park.
Spaceship Earth at Night
First, this is where all those AMAZING festivals take place, with all those great food booths (we’re currently enjoying the EPCOT Festival of the Arts). Plus you can literally travel AROUND the world without ever leaving the park. Then there are the rides — Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind anyone? So let’s see what’s been going on at EPCOT recently.
Well, the first month of 2023 is behind us already and we’re getting ready for Valentine’s Day (and Valentine’s Day treats!).
Sweetheart Sundae
This month, we finally got an opening date for Roundup Rodeo BBQ, as well as the full menu, and a few other details. But we also got some updates for Disney World’s existing restaurants — so here are how those menus changed in January.
