food IS a theme park
There are BIG things happening in the Disney Parks all over the world!

Disneyland Paris just announced a reopening date, Disney World changed its outdoor mask policy, and Disneyland recently reopened in California. But now, we’ve got some pretty exciting news from Hong Kong Disneyland!
A LOT has changed in Disney World lately!
Millennium Falcon
On Friday, Disney announced that face masks would no longer be required in outdoor areas (with a few exceptions). We’ve seen plexiglass start to disappear on certain attractions, and some shows have reduced physical distancing, but now one of the most popular rides in all of Disney World is seeing some changes!
World Showcase in EPCOT is the place to be when it comes to snacking!
Mexico Pavilion
The Mexico pavilion is one of our favorite places to grab a snack or a margarita in the park — it even took the #4 spot when we ranked the World Showcase pavilions by their snacks! Now, we’re back in the pavilion to try a NEW snack, so let’s see if it’s worth your time and money on your next trip to EPCOT!
EPCOT is a foodie’s dream!
Les Halles
While there is incredible food all over Disney World, EPCOT’s World Showcase is home to lots of cultures and delicious snacks. There’s a reason so many people eat and drink around the world! And today, we tried an old favorite of ours that returned to the France pavilion…but it’s pretty different than before!
Disneyland Resort reopened to California residents on April 30th!
Pixar Pier
Since then, we’ve been in the theme parks looking for any changes and updates you might need to know about. We’ve gone over how to get Disneyland tickets and how to book Disneyland Park Pass Reservations, but now Disney has introduced a new system that combines the two into one easy step!
At the beginning of 2021, free MagicBands were discontinued for Disney World Resort guests.
There’s a MagicBand, too!
MagicBands are still very much around, even with the introduction of MagicMobile (which allows your phone to be your MagicBand), and Disney keeps introducing new designs! Now, one of the newest MagicBands is available at a discount for certain guests!
Happy Halfway to Halloween!
Gideon’s Bakehouse
It’s the second spookiest time of the year (next to Halloween itself), and Disney is offering up some new treats including a Pumpkin Spice Milkshake and Hocus-Pocus themed hot cocoa. Earlier today, we got our hands on TWO incredible limited-time treats from Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs, and tonight we’re back for more!
It’s almost Mother’s Day… HOORAY for MOM!!
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Disney is celebrating big with TONS of limited-edition treats, fun Brunch options, and even a Magic Shot with Mrs. Incredible (aka Elastigirl)! We’ve been trying all of the Mother’s Day treats around the Disney World parks and resorts (seriously… ALL of them), and today we’re also checking out a cupcake at Disney’s Contemporary Resort!
It’s been almost a year since Disney World reopened!
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
Since it reopened to guests in July of 2020, several hotels and restaurants have reopened including fan-favorites Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom and Chef Mickey’s in Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Recently, Cape May Cafe at Disney’s Beach Club Resort got a reopening date, and it is SOON!
Just when you think Disney World can’t get any busier…it does!
Magic Kingdom
We started the year with a FULL year’s worth of announcements in January alone, but there was still LOTS of Disney news in February and March. April was certainly no exception, with the long-awaited reopening of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, and many transformations happening around the parks! And we’ve only seen more news released since then. Without further ado, let’s take a look at 16 new things that have happened in Disney World recently or are set to happen soon!
