food IS a theme park
In response to recent events, the Walt Disney Company has released a statement on the events in Washington DC.

On the evening of January 7th, 2021, a brief statement was posted to the Walt Disney Company’s Twitter page.
We are SO close to our next EPCOT festival — The Festival of the Arts!
2021 Festival of the Arts
The festival that is known for celebrating all types of art (from culinary arts to performing arts, and everything in between) is ready to kick-off on January 8th, 2021! You’ll have until February 22nd to drink all the drinks and eat all the eats, but now we’ve made it easy to check off all of your must-try dishes at the festival.
Disney Springs has a lot of exciting shops coming this year!
Everglazed
We’ve already seen the soft opening of Gideon’s Bakehouse (they’re still getting ready for their grand opening), and now we can look forward to the 2021 opening of some other sweet spots like the M&M’s Store! Now the newest spot in Disney Springs is officially open — the highly anticipated Everglazed will be serving up donuts and cold brew TODAY!
It’s a new year, which means there are lots of new Disney World deals and discounts!
Cinderella Castle
We previously announced that Disney would be offering FREE TICKETS (yes, you read that right). And starting today, you can book this amazing deal for your next Disney trip!
2020 was a BIG year for Toy Story fans!
Toy Story Land’s Slinky Dog Dash
It was the 25th anniversary for the original film, and we saw SO much new merch including spirit jerseys, specialty plushes, and more. But now, there’s a Buzz Lightyear-themed bag from Danielle Nicole that is calling our names!
Since Disney World and parts of Disneyland Resort have reopened, face masks have been an essential.
Disneyland
Luckily, Disney has whipped up some adorable masks for us to sport through the park! We’ve seen iconic snacks, classic Mickey, and holiday masks, but now we’ve got a few honoring some mischievous (but lovable) Disney characters and Disneyland itself!
In preparation for it’s 50th anniversary this year, Disney World has several fun and exciting projects in the works!
Cinderella Castle
Although we’ve confirmed that certain projects will open up like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Creperie de Paris, others have left us wondering if they actually will open in 2021. It looks like some projects could be opening later than originally expected, including the new TRON coaster.
During this past fall season, we saw a new treat trend appear in Disney World — pie-shaped rice krispies treats!
Candy Cauldron
We found classic, holiday “pies” like pumpkin pie and pecan pie that we LOVED, but we just found another flavor that is not as traditional. Over in Disney Springs, you can grab the Cookies and Cream Pie Rice Krispies Treat!
Happy New Year everyone and welcome to 2021 in Disney World!
Hollywood Studios
It’s still one of the busiest times of the year, with folks celebrating New Year’s and many on holiday breaks from work or school. So we’re taking a look at the average wait times in ALL FOUR PARKS! Let’s see how this week compared to last week, and which wait times were surprisingly low or high.
UPDATE: Gideon’s Bakehouse released an update to discuss the reasoning for the closure. The statement says, “We are still in a soft opening mode. We’ve learned a great deal over our holiday test run and are so grateful to everyone for making it such an overwhelming success! Our opening was beyond our expectations, so we are putting on the brakes to deal with behind-the-scenes logistics ahead of the grand opening.”
On December 23rd, Disney Springs gained a new cookie spot — Gideon’s Bakehouse!
Coffee Toffee Cookie at Gideon’s
This is no ordinary bakery, however, as they offer huge cookies and specials, like the Hot Cookie Hour. However, today it was announced that Gideon’s Bakehouse would temporarily close.
