food IS a theme park
We’ve seen lots of spots reopening around Walt Disney World lately.

But others are still closed. We’ve even seen some spots open, close, and then reopen. But we’re particularly surprised that three fan-favorite restaurants have not yet reopened!
Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC is located in Disney Springs and bakes fresh treats with vegan and gluten-free ingredients.
Sugar Rush Cake Bar from Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC
We heard earlier that the bakery was mixing up a new Sugar Rush Cake Bar this month. We thought this would be a great opportunity to see what’s fresh and do a taste test of ALL THREE of the available cake bars right now! Let’s do a quick review of the Sugar Rush, Milk and Cookies, and Brownie Cake Bar.
Baby Yoda on a sweater; Baby Yoda on an ornament; Baby Yoda on a bag…basically, the Baby Yoda merchandise is never-ending.
Baby Yoda Loungefly
Today, we spotted another cute Baby Yoda item in Disney World, and this one is a special, limited edition item so if it’s a must-get for you, you’ll want to act fast!
Forget impressing your friends with your incredible Disney knowledge. You can really blow their socks off when you order a secret menu item at a restaurant or lounge in Disney World.
Blue Wildness (Secret Drink at Geyser Point)
Part of the fun in ordering a secret menu item is that it feels like you’re a secret agent with special, classified information. But one spot in Disney World has taken a bit of the “secret” out of it.
We’ve loved spotting the new Park Life MagicBands throughout Walt Disney World, so you can imagine our excitement when we recently stumbled upon a new one. These MagicBands feature each park front and center and include some super-cute artwork representing many of our favorite attractions.
Hollywood Studios
So far, we’ve spotted a Park Life MagicBand for Magic Kingdom (along with a Mickey Mouse Park Life plush we couldn’t resist). There’s also an adorable Park Life MagicBand for EPCOT!
If you’re looking to go to Walt Disney World, you’ll need a valid ticket and a Park Pass reservation for the park you’d like to visit each day.
Magic Kingdom
For those visiting Disney World on Labor Day weekend, Park Pass availability has been changing a LOT lately. Now, we’ve got another update!
If you love sweet or even savory treats, then you’ll definitely want to stop by Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie in the France pavilion on your next trip to EPCOT.
Les Halles Boulangerie Food Options
From a delicious Croque Monsieur to a decadent Créme Brûlée, there’s so much to try here. Recently, we spotted a new delicious option there and we just had to try it!
Following Walt Disney World’s lengthy closure due to the global health crisis, Disney Springs, Disney World’s shopping and dining district, started welcoming back guests in May. Many of the district’s restaurants reopened in May while others followed suit throughout the last three months.
The Newly Reopened Edison
Three more restaurants reopened, The Edison, Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante, and Enzo’s Hideaway, a couple weeks ago and we had a chance to check one out! We decided to pop into The Edison and see if anything’s changed since the closure. (Spoiler: A LOT has changed!) Step inside the steampunk speakeasy with us and see what it’s like now!
We’ve seen Walt Disney World make a lot of changes in an effort to keep its guests as safe as possible. From requiring all guests to wear masks in its theme parks, to keeping things extra-clean and sanitized, a lot of changes have been made around the parks.
Cinderella Castle
But it’s not just the theme parks that are working to keeping guests safe. Walt Disney World is also taking extra measures at its golf courses. Fore!
Labor Day weekend in Walt Disney World is shaping up to be quite busy.
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
Park Pass Reservations have been filling up fast, but we recently caught an update to the Park Pass availability page, and it looks like some significant changes have been made!
