food IS a theme park
Undoubtedly you know how much magic there is at Disney World‘s theme parks by now!

But we bet you didn’t realize your Disney World resort hotel can be just as MAGICAL!
We started with 64 of our favorite counter-service restaurants, but now we’re down to our FINAL MATCH!
Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
Have you been playing along? If so, you’ve seen what total MADNESS this tournament has become as we’ve already witnessed many upsets in rounds one, two, three, and FOUR!
If you’ve ever visited Disney World with your family in tow, whether you know it by now or not, you possess within you a unique skill set.

Let’s face it, as much fun as it can be to go to Disney World, it’s also A LOT to handle. You’re on your feet all day in the unforgiving Florida climate with hungry kiddos and heavy crowds. If you’re like us, you’ve probably developed some coping skills that you could really use to win this war right about now!
Many of us are forming our own opinions right now, especially when it comes to what the “new normal” will look like once this is all over.

That’s why we recently reached out to our followers on instagram and asked if they would feel comfortable going to Disney World right away once it reopens.
The results were very interesting.
It looks like we finally have confirmation from Disney that Annual Passholders at both Disney World and Disneyland will be VERY relieved to hear!

It seems in light of the recent decision to extend the temporary closures at both parks indefinitely, they’ve made some amendments to their AP refund and payment policies!
OK, we know things are crazy right now. But fear not. Future vacations ARE on the horizon, I promise. And when you DO go back to Disney World, this info is going to come in VERY handy, trust me.
Being on vacation means an escape from the mundanity of life and the tasks that take up waaay too many hours of our time normally. One of those chores we’re more than happy to escape from is laundry!

But sometimes you find yourself in a bit of a dilemma! How did you blow through a week’s worth of socks in just three days? Why did you only pack two pairs of shorts? Oh no…your kid (or your husband…or you…let’s be honest) forgot to pack underwear!? What if you’re headed somewhere other than home after your trip to Disney World or Disneyland and your suitcase could only hold so much? The solution becomes pretty clear — you need to do some laundry for your vacation-vibes to survive!
Back when Disney World’s temporary closure first began, we noticed the American flag still appeared to be flying high on Main Street, U.S.A. across from the entrance to Magic Kingdom.

Even though the Disney parks were absent of people, we could feel the strong presence of the star-spangled banner still being flown, and we hope you did too.
Disney World has seen its fair share of hurricanes over the last few years.

And according to the 2020 Atlantic hurricane forecast that was just released, a few more could be on the way this year.
It’s hard to find a bright side to Disney World being temporarily closed.

But shockingly, it’s actually not totally impossible. Now that everyone and everything is slowing down around us, we thought we’d take a moment to figure out some of the good stuff that might actually come from this whole experience when Disney World reopens!
While Disney was hoping to have guests back in its U.S. theme parks by April 1st, a LOT has happened since that original closure announcement was made.

And now that Disney’s officially extended its closure for Disney World and Disneyland, what does this mean if you already had a trip planned?
