food IS a theme park
As the Walt Disney World theme parks welcome guests again, it’s only natural that there are questions GALORE!
Early Morning at Cinderella Castle
There are a LOT of new guidelines and policies to keep up with. Don’t worry if you’re still super confused, because we’ve got ya covered…literally!
With no one visiting the parks, Disney World has been donating its excess food to help the local community.
Welcome to Wine Bar George! (First floor)
And, although we can’t visit our favorite restaurants in the parks right now, your local Florida grocery store is also finding ways to help those who need it right now.
There have been A LOT of questions about when Disney World will be re-opening.
Walt Disney World
And, along with representatives from other theme parks, Josh D’Amaro has been working on the Re-Open Florida Task Force to determine the best protocols for opening up public spaces again. After the recent task force meeting, there were a lot of discussions surrounding the safest ways to provide access to cruise lines, restaurants, airports, and theme parks across the state.
Since Disney World extended its closure, we aren’t entirely sure when the parks will be reopening.
Slinky Dog in Toy Story Land
Currently, guests can make hotel and dining reservations in Disney World for June 1st and beyond. But what about guests with May vacations planned? Disney has slowly but surely been canceling guest reservations.
Disney has had to make a lot of really tough decisions recently.
Magic Kingdom
With all the Disney Parks being closed for the first time EVER, Disney is having to figure out the best way to keep moving forward right now. Although Bob Iger , Bob Chapek, and Rebecca Campbell have opened up about the state of the company, Josh D’Amaro is now giving us some insight into Disney World’s situation.
Who’s having MAJOR Disney Parks withdrawal right now?? Us, for sure!
Magic Kingdom
Although Disney World is closed, we’ve been building our own homemade attractions, creating some crazy Minnie Ears, and watching how the Disney Parks were made. And, now we’re taking you INSIDE an empty Disney World that you’ve probably never seen before.
With the parks currently closed, Disney World and Disneyland have chosen to furlough several Cast and Crew Members beginning April 19th.
Dapper Dans in Magic Kingdom
More than half of Disney World’s employees were furloughed through the latest agreement with the Service Trades Council Union. We also saw furloughs of other unionized musicians and electrical workers, but now an agreement has been reached regarding unionized performers.
This year, we are REALLY missing those Grand Floridian Easter Eggs since the parks are currently closed (they’re just so awesome!!).
Beach Club Easter Eggs
Although we LOVE going on an Easter Egg Hunt at home and baking themed treats, Disney World is also warming our hearts as they give back to the Central Florida area this season.
Since the parks are closed “until further notice,” Disney has planned to furlough non-essential salaried and hourly non-union employees starting April 19th.
Walt Disney World
Although this original statement didn’t include unionized workers, now Disney has begun extending furloughs to other employees of the company. While the American Federations of Musicians Local 389 has come to an agreement with Disney, other unions are also making agreements with Disney to furlough for workers.
On top of all those Disney breakfast recipes we’ve been baking while we watch our top Disney+ shows, we have been LOVING the live mixology classes from La Cava del Tequila.
