food IS a theme park
Disney World Park Passes have been quickly filling up for quite a few days this year.
Don’t Forget to Get Your Park Passes Early!
Keep in mind that to enter a Disney World theme park right now you do need to have a valid ticket AND valid Park Pass for each theme park you want to visit for each day of your trip (and for each member of your party). If you’re planning on visiting the Disney World theme parks during the Fourth of July, the time to get your Park Passes is NOW!
Disney World is a pretty awesome place to make memories!

Disney launched the Capture Your Moment photo sessions in Magic Kingdom last year as a new option for those creating special memories in Disney World. For $50, guests can get a 20-minute photo session in Magic Kingdom with a professional photographer — and now the offering is expanding to another park.
Who doesn’t seem to love the Marvel Cinematic Universe nowadays?

We’ve spent over a decade falling in love with the Avengers and now they’re coming to life in their very own theme park land in Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort. But, could an Avengers Campus ever come to Disney World? Well, it’s not as straightforward as you might think. Read on!
Believe it or not, it’s halfway to Halloween!
It’s almost Halloween!
And we KNOW Disney loves celebrating this spooky holiday. For special treats to rare characters, Halloween in the parks is a time like no other. But tomorrow, May 7th, we’re getting a little taste of fall BACK in Disney World! And we couldn’t be more excited, guys.
It’s a busy year for Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
Not only will it celebrate the 50th anniversary on October 1st, but there will be new experiences opening and old favorites reopening. If you’re headed to Disney World during this exciting year, there is a Park Pass Reservation update you’re gonna want to know about!
Even though Disney World reopened to guests almost a year ago, there are still lots of experiences that remain different.
Fairfax Fare
Many restaurants and hotels have reopened since July or have set reopening dates for later this year, but there are a few that remain closed. Today, we noticed some menu changes at a closed quick service restaurant in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
One of our favorite Disney souvenirs is mugs. Because here’s the thing — they’re useful. You can use them for beverages (obviously), but they also make good places to put your pens, keep change in, keep other items in, etc. You can’t have too many Disney mugs!
Welcome to Germany
We’ve seen some super cool ones recently, too, including some awesome Starbucks Star Wars mugs, a matching family mug collection, a very happy Bao Mug, and a very cool Dumbo mug!
Since Disney World’s theme parks reopened, temperature screenings have been required to enter the parks. Temperature screenings eventually became required for other things too like table service restaurants at Disney World’s hotels and more.
Health Signage
Over the past few months, we’ve shared the details about a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that indicates temperature checks may be ineffective at identifying COVID-19 cases, a statement from one local official indicating that temperature checks are not recommended in Florida’s Orange County, and changes that have been made with temperature checks at other theme parks. And now we’ve got a BIG update about some changes coming soon to Disney World’s temperature checks.
We’ve talked a LOT about Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew because, well, we cannot get enough of those over-the-top donuts! And they are constantly releasing new donuts.
There’s a reason we keep going back to Everglazed…
And let us tell you — we’ve had some doozies there, from the highly controversial Grilled Cheese Donut to a Peeps Donut to a Cinnamon Crunch Donut to a Thin Mint Donut! There have been a ton of wacky and wonderful flavors and we love trying them out!
As the situation with the COVID-19 pandemics, we’ve seen various changes made and new guidelines released.
Cruising Could Return Soon!
One big industry that has yet to fully return since the start of the pandemic is the cruising industry. Recently, we shared that cruises may be able to begin sailing again from the U.S. this summer and now the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) has issued some updated guidance.
