food IS a theme park
We just spent a lovely day traveling around Disney World’s Magic Kingdom resorts!
Grand Floridian
And we’ve got a ton of updates, so grab a cup of coffee or tea, curl up in your favorite chair, and let’s get started!
Walt Disney’s story and the history of his theme parks add to the magic that we experience when we visit.
Cinderella Castle
Walt Disney himself once said, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” This sentiment has been applied to the parks across the world — Disney is always growing and changing. We’ve come a long way to get to the Disney we know and love, but can you imagine if there was a Disney World with no Mickey Mouse? Or you took your yearly Disney trip to Missouri instead of Florida? Disney would’ve been VERY different if these things happened.
A MAJOR Disney transportation option is currently unavailable.
Grand Floridian Monorail Station
While at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Monorail Station today to head on over to Magic Kingdom, we were evacuated from the platform as BOTH monorail lines went down. Here’s what we know.
Disney World reopened to the public following its temporary closures on July 11th, 2020. A lot has changed since then, and that has meant learning how to adjust to many of the new protocol and health guidelines implemented over the past several months.
EPCOT
While we’ve grown accustomed to many of the changes and can go about our day as if these changes are second nature to us, OTHER changes still have us riding the struggle bus. Let’s take a look at the changes that we’re still having a hard time adjusting to, even months after they’ve been implemented in the parks!
Over the past few months, quite a few changes have been made when it comes to Disney World transportation — including the monorails.
Monorail Station at Walt Disney World Ticket and Transportation Center
Capacity in the monorails is now limited, there are vinyl barriers between some of the sections, and distancing barriers have been added to the rows on some of the monorails to help increase capacity. For a while, Monorail Red has been out for refurbishment, but today it was BACK with a new look! Join us for a full look at that this monorail looks like now and what distancing measures it’s using.
Happy Super Bowl Sunday, everyone!
Cinderella Castle
Although it was a little stormy last night, we had gorgeous blue skies at Disney World today! So come along with us for a beautiful day at Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT!
Monorail fans: you may want to sit down for this one.
Contempo Cafe
Obviously, the delicious food and unique atmosphere of a Disney restaurant contribute to its theming. But so do the Cast Members! Their costumes play a huge part in the experience — and today, we noticed that some of those costumes had gotten a makeover.
We took a trip around the monorail to see the latest updates!
Grand Floridian
We visited Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. We’ve got several updates for you, so let’s dive in!
When Disney World reopened in July of 2020, there were some pretty MAJOR changes in place. These include mask mandates, physical distancing guidelines, the cancelation of fireworks, parades, and character meet and greets, and the temporary suspension of FastPass+ and the Disney Dining Plan, just to name a few (not to mention the parks reopened with a freshly-painted pink castle!).
Magic Kingdom
Since then, however, there have only been MORE big changes that could have major impacts on your upcoming Disney World vacation. Some of the guidelines that were in effect last summer are no longer the case in 2021 while others have changed since inception! Let’s take a look at some of the biggest changes in Disney World SINCE July 11th, 2020!
We got to spend our sunny day yesterday in Disney World’s flagship park!
Cinderella Castle
Yup, we took a stroll around Magic Kingdom to see if we could spot anything new! Sure enough, we’re bringing you alllllll the updates in construction and merchandise!
