food IS a theme park
We are super hyped for all the things coming as a part of the epic EPCOT transformation.

While we may not be setting foot in EPCOT again until July 15th, Disney is still making progress on its new attractions and experiences in the parks. And, we’ve got some groovy news for all you Guardians of the Galaxy fans out there!
When Disney World theme parks reopen on July 11th, there are going to changes in MANY ways.
Walt Disney World
Fireworks, parades, and character meet-and-greets will be suspended when the parks reopen, and some modes of Disney transportation won’t be in use. For instance, Minnie Vans will be unavailable until further notice as Disney World.
We’re only four weeks out until Disney World’s official grand re-opening!
Tamu Tamu Refreshments at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
The parks will be opening in phases with Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom slated to re-open first and Epcot and Hollywood Studios following after them. Although we’ve spotted construction on the McDonald’s, Cinderella Castle, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Walkway, there are even MORE new updates coming to Disney World than we even knew about.
We’ve been keeping an eye out for any updates about the 2020 Epcot Food and Wine Festival.
Epcot Food and Wine Festival
Epcot is set to reopen on July 15th, and we’ve been wondering how the Food and Wine Festival could be different this year. Disney hasn’t yet released information regarding the festival dates, menus, or special events, but we noticed something interesting regarding the Eat to the Beat Concert Series.
Disney Springs
While parking, health and safety measures, and temperature screenings have been implemented in the area, Disney is also looking for ways to use more contactless methods throughout the parks.
We’ve been exploring what a reopened Disney Springs is like for a few weeks now.
Disney Springs
With new health measures, requirements, and capacity limitations; things have definitely changed in Disney World. The reopening of the theme parks is on the horizon, so we’re taking a look back at what our first steps back in Disney mean. Here’s everything we’ve learned from two weeks in a reopened Disney World!
Walt Disney World resort hotels are getting ready to reopen soon, like, really really soon.
Boardwalk Entrance
And as guests get ready to head back to Walt Disney World, things are getting back to normal on My Disney Experience.
Walt Disney World has been closed since mid-March, meaning that a number of park tickets for this spring have had their dates extended.
Early Morning at Cinderella Castle
We know that multi-day park tickets have been extended through September 26th, 2021, and that Annual Passes for those who paid in full can be extended, and now a DIFFERENT ticket option has been extended as well.
Disney World recently announced its reopening plans, and while that’s exciting for many guests who can’t wait to get back into the parks, it does have its concerning aspects.
Magic Kingdom
The global health crisis has caused some major changes to the offerings in the parks. We’re sure a lot of you are worried that Disney World is going to be disappointing once it reopens. Let’s take a look at some of the things that are concerning guests.
While we’ve all fallen in love with Disney World for one reason or another, we’re facing some BIG changes now that the parks have reopened!
Cinderella Castle
While it’s unknown when or if the parks will return to “normal,” there’s a silver lining when it comes to Disney World undergoing some updates right now. It may not seem like it, but change can be a good thing (especially since Walt himself said to “keep moving forward”).
