food IS a theme park
We have eaten our fair share of VERY unique snacks at Disneyland.

Sure, there are the usual Dole Whips and churros, but we’ve also had Lobster Nachos, Mickey Beignets, and Chimichangas!
Because of health and safety guidelines, lines at Disney World tend to snake all over the parks — occasionally those lines take us to new and unexpected locations!
We’re going Soarin’!
With social distancing in the parks, lines can get pretty long, and Disney gets creative on where queues for attractions or restaurants can go. We’ve waited backstage for a lumpia at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but also for margaritas at La Cava del Tequila!
This year is already flying by, and we swear it was just Halloween yesterday!
Cinderella Castle
And here we are, eating Easter snacks, and getting in the mood for the season with beautiful spring balloons!
Disney World is getting VERY spiffed up for its big 50th birthday party!
The Chinese Theater just got a glow up!
We’ve seen Cinderella Castle get a new paint job and extra bling. And don’t even get us started about what’s going on with its stage and moat. Even EPCOT is getting a massive overhaul and is already starting to look pretty spectacular!
One thing we love about EPCOT is World Showcase, where we can visit so many countries around the world without ever leaving Disney World!

Okay, so we also love eating all those internationally-inspired snacks and buying merchandise exclusive to specific countries! Oh, and the festivals!
The global health crisis has been particularly hard on the travel industry, and perhaps even more so on cruise lines.
Disney Cruise Line
At the moment, Disney Cruise Line has currently canceled sailings through August, although the company hopes to resume some operations this fall. Disney also recently announced a new staycation cruise experience in the U.K. However, for the time being, cruises leaving the U.S. are currently grounded and the CDC continues to extend no-sail orders.
Hello to all our DFB Friends!
Welcome to Hollywood Studios!
We’ve been living it up Hollywood style at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, checking out all the shops, wandering through all the lands, and getting our snack on when we can (and yes, that means sneaking in a carrot cake cookie here and there). So what’s new since the last time we were there? Here’s what we’ve got!
We’ve been running around all over Disney World trying out all the Easter snacks! There are SO many Easter snacks, y’all!
Rose and Crown Dining Room has reopened!
Although we still have a lot more snacks to try, we’re keeping an eye on Disney World restaurants and their menus, too — checking for price changes, new items, missing items, etc. So here are the latest updates on that front for this week!
Over the past year, we’ve seen a LOT of changes at Disney Parks.
Tokyo Disneyland Resort Pre-Closures
Most of those changes were due to new health and safety guidelines and were implemented at Disney Parks worldwide, including a Park Pass Reservation requirement, a facial covering requirement for guests over two years of age, new social distancing protocols, and more.
Disney World is constantly full of fun surprises!
Welcome to Norway!
Occasionally, we’re amused by things like a plant replacing Donald (seriously, we’re not sure we’ll ever be over that), Chip ‘n’ Dale deciding to have a picnic, or by Mickey and Minnie surprising us with a meeting at EPCOT.
