food IS a theme park
Although several restaurants around Disney World are still closed, quite a few have started to reopen recently.
Cinderella Castle
Today, another restaurant officially reopened, this time in Magic Kingdom, a whole day earlier than it was originally scheduled to!
We’ve had all kinds of spooky snacks in the parks in Disney World!
Witch’s Brew
But, Halloween treats are making their way over to the Disney Resort hotels as well. Today, we found some seasonal drink offerings over at Disney’s Old Key West Resort, and you know we HAD to taste one of them!
Even though we still don’t know the exact date Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure will reopen, we’re starting to see more signs that the parks are getting ready to welcome guests as soon as they are able to!
Disney California Adventure Park
Just last week, we spotted some new park reservation signs and a potential walkway at Disneyland Resort, and we’ve seen some health and safety signs outside of the parks as well. Today, we spotted even more additions that show we’re one step closer to Disneyland reopening.
We were already excited that Yorkshire County Fish Shop is set to be open on the weekends now in EPCOT, but now we’ve found a way to celebrate our love for fish & chips all the time…

…Fish & Chips Minnie Mouse EARS!
Earlier this year, we saw the 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend canceled and the 2020 Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend converted to a virtual event.

No word, however, had been released on the 2021 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend or the 2021 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend. But, today we got an update from runDisney about both of these events.
With all of the new adorable retro Disney merchandise released recently AND the Twice Upon a Year sale going on right now, we’ve been adding LOTS of items to our shopping bags on shopDisney.

If you’re like us and you’re on a shopDisney shopping spree, there are one or two more items you may want to add to your bag and snag for a pretty good discount!
It’s been several months since we’ve been able to step beyond those gates and into Disneyland Park to enjoy the sights, sounds, and magic of the happiest place on earth. And, we’ll just say, we’re in serious need of some snacks from Bengal Barbecue!
Disneyland Gate
Although we’re still waiting for an announcement of a new reopening date for Disneyland Resort, we’ve got updates now about some of the changes we can expect to see in the Anaheim theme parks when guests can finally enjoy them again.
From a blimp flying over Disney World to a Barbershop within the blue walls of the “bubble,” we’ve been watching all of the news coming out of the NBA “bubble” since some of our favorite basketball teams resumed the 2019-2020 NBA season in Disney World at the ESPN Wide World of Sports.
NBA Experience Shop
Although the NBA conference finals will be wrapping up soon, it seems MORE basketball may be on its way to Disney World.
Just a few weeks ago, we shared with you that Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort will not be reopening until the summer of 2021 to finish some refurbishment work, including a Moana-inspired look for the Resort’s guest rooms.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
The refurbishment work is set to begin in October, and now we’ve got a few updates on how that construction could impact your stay at Disney’s Polynesian Villas and Bungalows or simply a trip to dine at the resort.
We’ve eaten our way around the world (many times) at EPCOT, but thankfully calories don’t count at Disney (right?).
EPCOT
Well, if you’re like us and you’re still waiting for some of those closed restaurants in Disney World to reopen (so you can eat even MORE food), then you’ll be excited to hear that one quick-service spot in EPCOT was open this past weekend and should be available when you visit on the weekends.
