food IS a theme park
Looking for another place to find treats in honor of The Lion King?
The Mara
Then head over to The Mara at Animal Kindom Lodge, where today we spotted two classic treats with an all-new look!
Mickey’s Soundsational Parade
which returned to Disneyland earlier this year for “Get Your Ears On — A Mickey and Minnie Celebration” will be leaving the parks once again.

And soon…
UPDATE: Per guests in the park, we’re seeing that Aunt Polly’s opening seems to be delayed or halted for this holiday week. We’ll keep you updated with more information when we receive it.Aunt Polly’s
is a VERY seasonal counter service restaurant in Magic Kingdom, so we’re always excited when it opens up to guests (typically just a handful of times throughout the year).

What makes this even more fun is that finding this location — as it’s tucked on Tom Sawyer Island — is an adventure in itself!
As many of you likely already know — especially if you’ve visited Disney’s Animal Kingdom — Disney is very committed to supporting wildlife conservation efforts.
Special Edition Simba and Nala Plush
And with the new version of The Lion King officially coming to theaters NEXT MONTH (I’m literally jumping with excitement), Disney is focusing their conservation efforts even more.
Today, we will explore What’s New at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, the BoardWalk Inn, and Disney World’s Swan and Dolphin Resorts!
Yacht Club
There’s a lot to see, so let’s explore everything new together!
June 26th (6/26, of course) is known among Lilo & Stitch fans as “626 Day.” And that means that we have spent a huge chunk of the day celebrating our favorite blue alien Experiment 626: Stitch!
Aloha from Stitch at the Polynesian Village Resort!
Disney has also been celebrating this iconic day with a couple snacks dedicated to Stitch himself at Disney World’s Polynesian Village Resort.

we’re back with a few updates on the Disney Skyliner Gondola transportation system!
Boardwalk Skyliner Gondola Station
When this new Walt Disney World Resort transportation system opens to guests, it will carry riders to Epcot and Hollywood Studios, as well as to four Resort hotels: Art of Animation, Pop Century, Caribbean Beach Resort, and the upcoming Riviera Resort.
If you’ve ever visited Epcot, you likely know about Rose & Crown Pub and Dining Room, a truly charming and beloved spot located in the UK Pavilion. It’s always good to pop in for some delicious Bangers and Mash, some classic Fish & Chips, or the Battered Banger and Chips.
Rose and Crown Outdoor Bar
But what you might not know is that Rose & Crown has an outdoor bar where you can find a few of the drinks that are served inside as well (an added bonus — it often has a much shorter wait!), along with some House-made Crisps for a snack. But aside from those Crisps, there really isn’t much in the way of food here. But today…
have been around for quite a while and have been noted as one of our favorite savory snacks since we took our first bite of one years ago.
Breakfast Chimichanga
Well, for our fellow Chimichanga fans, we’re super excited to report that a new chimichanga option has hit the Disneyland dining scene.
