The reopened Disney World parks have implemented a number of new health measures for the safety of both guests and Cast Members, including required face coverings for all Cast Members and guests age two and older. With all of the changes around the parks, we wanted to see what it’s like to ride some of our favorite attractions — like Slinky Dog Dash!
It has been quite the FULL day with some FULL stomachs tasting our way around the Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival!
Italy
We’ve been traveling around the booths in World Showcase to see what stand-outs the festival has to offer this year! The Italy booth is a returning Food & Wine Festival staple. But how do the dishes stack up this year at A Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival? Let’s take a look!
We were treated to a surprise at the EPCOT Cast Member Preview today — some of the festival marketplaces for the upcoming A Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival were OPEN!

So, of course, we took advantage of the chance to snag all the festival eats we could get! After a hiatus, the Desserts and Champagne marketplace has made its way back to Food & Wine — and we couldn’t wait to taste all of the sweet treats they’re serving up!
Now that Disney World has reopened, we’ve been combing through the parks to collect all the brand new tips you need to know!
Magic Kingdom
In order to enter the parks, all guests ages two and older are required to wear an appropriate face covering. So, since nearly everyone who enters Disney World will need to wear a face mask, we figured this is a pretty important topic to cover!
Since Disney World began its phased reopening after the unprecedented closures in 2020, we’ve added some NEW tips to our list of things to keep in mind when you travel!
Magic Kingdom
We visit the parks, hotels, and Disney Springs on a daily basis to get a feel for the changes that continue to happen on a near-constant rate — even 2 years later. And, with all of the things that have come, and gone, and then come back again at Disney we have some NEW tips for your vacation!
We’re spending the day in the newly reopened Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
And while the wait times for most of the attractions have been relatively short, there’s one place in Magic Kingdom that has already hit capacity for the day!
Several days ago, Chef Mickey’s joined the list of Disney World restaurants that are accepting reservations.
Chef Mickey’s
Located in Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Chef Mickey’s is a Disney World tradition for many families. Typically, this restaurant offers buffet-style dining for breakfast, lunch, and dinner — complete with appearances from Mickey and friends! But, what changes can you expect in the reopened Chef Mickey’s? Let’s take a look!
We’re coming to you LIVE from the newly reopened Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
We’ve been making our way through the park to get a feel for what it’s like to spend a day in a reopened Disney World! And while we are keeping an eye on the wait times for the attractions in Magic Kingdom, it looks like the longest line of the day isn’t for a ride!
Animal Kingdom has now officially reopened to guests!
Tree of Life
And we’re here to see what it’s like to spend a day inside the reopened park! Now that we’ve gotten a peek at the crowds in Animal Kingdom, let’s see how the attraction wait times stack up throughout the day!
Today’s the big day — Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom are now officially reopened to guests!
Main Street, U.S.A.
We headed out to see what it’s like to spend a day in the reopened parks! Prior to the reopening, many guests were wondering what wait times to expect for attractions. The parks are operating at a reduced capacity, and guests must have a Disney Park Pass reservation in order to enter. BUT, social distancing measures also mean that attractions aren’t operating at full capacity, and rides must be regularly sanitized.
