food IS a theme park
Now is a great time to plan a trip to Disneyland Resort because SO much is going on — and even more is coming soon.
Disneyland
Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary Celebration kicks off on May 16th and will bring new ride additions, brand-new attractions, the return of fan-favorite parades, and, of course, new eats and treats! But, even before the festivities kick off, we’re checking out some recently released snacks around Disneyland
Imagine this: You’re strolling through Epic Universe, getting ready for a meal so you can refuel for more fun — when you get a sketchy-looking text that appears to be from Universal.
Epic Universe
Is it legit? Is it a scam? Are you being catfished by a theme park? Don’t worry — it’s not that serious. We can explain.
There are plenty of WILD things to do at Disney World that you can’t do anywhere else, but the wildest ones happen at (where else?!) Animal Kingdom!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
This park isn’t just home to excellent rides, stellar restaurants, and incredible character experiences; it’s also home to some seriously amazing animals. There are plenty of trails and, of course, Kilimanjaro Safaris, but the BEST way to really get up close and personal with the animals is on the Wild Africa Trek — some come along with us!

The approximately 500-acre property will be marketed for redevelopment as part of Six Flags’ portfolio optimization program.
This summer is a GREAT time to visit Disney World (okay, except for the HEAT…)!
EPCOT
From May 27th through September 1st, you can expect to see DJ-fueled dance parties, surprise character experiences, fun activities, and nonstop summer vibes. To make way for Cool Kid Summer, CommuniCore Hall at EPCOT will be closing — which means this EPCOT festival booth has to CHANGE.
Get ready, because Cool Kid Summer is about to take over Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
Starting on May 27th and running all the way through September 1st, the parks will be home to DJ-fueled dance parties, surprise character experiences, fun activities, and nonstop summer vibes. But, to make way for Cool Kid Summer, CommuniCore Hall at EPCOT will be closing.
Calling all mobile gamers! Whether you’re already a fan of playing games on your phone or are looking for ways to avoid endlessly doomscrolling (we know the feeling), Monopoly GO has become a hit.

This mobile app version of the classic game lets you buy and sell property, and yes — you can even go to jail. And, right now, you can score a FREE Monopoly GO token in the game thanks to Disney+!
We’ve had the chance to explore Epic Universe quite a bit thanks to multiple previews, but that doesn’t mean we’re not still STOKED about the official grand opening!
Epic Universe
The park is officially opening on May 22nd, and we’re expecting some serious fanfare to celebrate the occasion. In fact, a new permit shows just that!
Disney World is full of unique experiences you can’t find anywhere else — that’s what keeps us coming back time and time again (okay, that and the corn dog nuggets).
Four Seasons Orlando
But, some of the BEST experiences at Disney World can’t be found in the parks at all, but instead at the hotels! Whether you’re looking for a fireworks cruise or a fancy meal, chances are you can find it. And, if it’s Afternoon Tea you’re after, you’re going to want to visit the Four Seasons Orlando!
CALLING ALL MILLENNIAL DISNEY FANS! Disney is celebrating the 30th anniversary of A Goofy Movie, and if they’re trying to make us feel old, it’s working.

Still, we’re down for any excuse to talk about this underrated hit, and between the new Powerline Max popcorn bucket and the merch collection that was just released, it’s been the talk of the town. Apparently, Disney isn’t done celebrating this movie yet because they just debuted a NEW Powerline virtual reality experience!
