food IS a theme park
Remember the middle of Future World in EPCOT?
Spaceship Earth
With all the construction barriers in the area, it’s been a looooong time since we’ve been able to stroll through. Now though, we’ve got a new update on what’s going on BEHIND the barriers!
Disney World turns 50 years old this year!
Cinderella Castle
That’s a pretty momentous occasion and we’ve seen Magic Kingdom undergo some touch-ups in preparation. The BIGGEST is the new paint job on Cinderella Castle, but the castle isn’t the ONLY spot getting some TLC.
Disney has got some SERIOUSLY cool experiences planned for the future.

A few that we’re SUPER excited about are EPCOT’s space-themed restaurant, Space 220, and the Star Wars hotel, Galactic Starcruiser. Both of these locations will make guests feel as if they’re in space, complete with windows that look out into the expanse. But HOW will those windows work?! Disney just filed a document that explains it ALL.
We’ve got an update for ya straight from Disney World!
Animal Kingdom
We spent the day in Disney’s Animal Kingdom yesterday doing our best to hunt down all of the latest news! Without further ado, here are all the updates in food, construction, and merchandise!

Hong Kong Disneyland has had QUITE the year. The resort was among the earlier Disney parks to close due to the global health crisis, shuttering in January 2020. Since then, it has reopened, reclosed, re-reopened, and re-reclosed. Now, the situation in Hong Kong is changing once again.
The global health crisis put a LOT on hold in Disney and beyond.
Italy Pavilion
At the beginning of the situation last year, Disney had to suspend its Cultural Representative Program. And transferred Cast Members are filling many of the roles typically held but Cultural Representatives in World Showcase. This program typically brings in individuals from around the world to work as Cast Members. Now, it seems some cultural representatives may return to the park this year.
We’ve got a quick update for you today!
BoardWalk
If you’re headed for a stay in the EPCOT resort area soon then you might want to know what to expect! That’s why we’re bringing you the latest from Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Resort, Disney Yacht Club Resort, and Disney’s Beach Club Resort!
Disney can be a wonderful place to spend time with family and friends but it can also be SUPER romantic.
World Showcase
Every once in a while, we get really lucky and happen to spot a happy couple saying their “I Do’s” in the Most Magical Place on Earth. Today, we found ourselves strolling past an absolutely BEAUTIFUL bridal party in a VERY cool place to get married.
The past few years have brought major entertainment acquisitions to the Walt Disney Company.

The largest, perhaps, was the acquisition of 20th Century Fox and all its associated studios. Now, Disney is shuttering one division of the former 20th Century Fox and canceling an upcoming film.
The last year has brought us a LOT of postponed Disney events, and now there’s another one!

This postponement might be a little surprising, though! The Positively Minnie Polka Dot Summit 2.0 was announced two weeks ago as a digital event for Minnie-lovers. Despite being just-announced and VIRTUAL, this event has now quietly been postponed.
