food IS a theme park
It’s been a WEEK in theme park news, you guys!
Walt Disney World
While we took you with us to check out everything at the re-opening of Universal Orlando’s CityWalk, we also gave you all the details on the confirmed restaurants and stores that will be opening back up in Disney Springs.
While we’ve been stuck at home, we’re looking for as many games as possible to entertain us (if you’re bored, you can always paint some Star Wars rocks, you know ;D).

We’ve shown you Disney puzzles, board games, how to build your own DIY board games, and even toilet paper Minnie Ears. We’ve played DFB Snack Madness, a Counter-Service Throw Down, and the Table-Service Throw Down with you in our instagram stories (did your favorite snacks and restaurants win??)! But, now you can play another series of games with these Disney Instagram filters!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another DFB Video, and today we’re talking about ALL the Disney Parks news you need to know!
Chicken Guy!
Disney World starts to open in FOUR DAYS with the phased re-opening of Disney Springs. Although third-party locations will be greeting guests first, Disney-owned restaurants and stores will be following soon after. Universal Orlando’s CityWalk also opened, and we took you with us to look at ALL the new health and safety precautions (including temperature checks!).
While Disney Springs and CityWalk have moved forward in reopening restaurants and stores, there have also been talks about small businesses and the NBA opening back up again too.
Disney Springs
Since Phase One was expected to last for a few weeks after it began on May 4th, today the Governor has shared that Florida will be starting a new iteration of the reopening process soon. Learn about Florida’s “Full Phase One.”
Disney World is beginning its phased reopening on May 20th, starting with some third-party stores and restaurants in Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
While you can check out all the places you can treat yo’self, you can also take advantage of some of the best offers that Disney Springs has when you’re visiting!
We might be stuck at home, but we’re taking ya with us on a virtual trip to the Caribbean (cost free 😉 )!
Banana Cabana Pool Bar
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort finished a BIG multi-year renovation a few years back AND the Skyliner Gondola System was added as a direct transportation line to the hotel. This helped the resort garner a lot more attention from guests, including us!
So, as a little get-away, we’re taking you with us to Barefoot Bay to kick back and relax in the recently redesigned rooms at Caribbean Beach!
Oh, Disney snacks and drinks, how we miss you!!
Mickey Pretzel
Since the parks have been closed, we’ve been having some MAJOR withdrawal from all the amazing restaurants in Disney World. From simple Mickey Pretzels at the food carts to the HUGE Kitchen Sink at Beaches and Cream, Disney hands-down has some of the best treats to indulge in when you’re at the parks.
Buuut, that doesn’t mean they’re all hits! There are still snack and drink flops, even in the Most Magical Place on Earth.
Although the Disney World theme parks have not yet have a set timeline for reopening, Disney Springs will start to open its third-party stores and restaurants on May 20th.
Disney Springs
Along with STK Orlando and Wine Bar George, there’s another eatery opening up to guests the first day Disney Springs re-opens.

Things have been SUPER busy in the Disney Parks, even with all the recent closures! As the parks slowly start to reopen, we’re here to keep you up-to-date on all the new procedures, changes coming to Disney, and everything else you need to know!

Garden Grill Restaurant
Although some of these spots are opening back up, Disney World has also recently confirmed that they will no longer be taking any reservations earlier than July 1st. And, before today, if your vacation was affected by the park closures, you could take advantage of a private offer including a free dining package.
