Is it really a holiday if Disney doesn’t make a cupcake to celebrate? Gingerbread Spice Cupcake Over the past few months, we spotted cupcakes for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and way too many to count for Christmas (including one with a cool hidden Mickey)! But, if you’ve been around a while, you know that Disney cupcakes are kinda our “thing,” so we don’t typically complain when we get to try one. Today we stopped by the BoardWalk Bakery to try their New Year’s cupcake, and we have a few things to say about it! The latest in seasonal cupcakes at the BoardWalk Bakery is the Strawberry and Champagne cupcake! Strawberry and Champagne cupcake Here to celebrate the New Year, the cupcake is topped with Mickey ears, a 2021 decoration, crispy pearls, and white chocolate shavings around the edge. It’s honestly super cute! Strawberry and Champagne Cupcake The flavors intrigued us…strawberry and champagne sounds pretty delicious in a cupcake (in fact, Sprinkles had a cupcake that was similar a while back), so we were definitely excited to try this one. The cake is vanilla and the icing tasted pretty basic, so most of the fun is in the filling. Strawberry and Champagne Cupcake When we tried the filling we could clearly taste the strawberry, but the champagne flavor was noticeably absent! We were honestly a little disappointed, because we thought the two flavors would blend really well together. Strawberry and Champagne cupcake It was a pretty delicious cupcake overall, and the strawberry was nice, but we really missed the champagne! Without that extra flavor, it ended up being a tad boring. Strawberry and Champagne cupcake Sans champagne, it’s just a vanilla cupcake with regular frosting and a strawberry filling. Kids would probably enjoy this one, but if you’re looking for something really exciting and different, this one missed the mark for us. Strawberry and Champagne cupcake If you still want to try it out for yourself, then pick one up from the BoardWalk Bakery for $5.99.

Every once in a while, we spot something in Disney World that catches our eye for being, well, a little random. Grand Floridian Resort We were checking out the latest at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and we found something pretty interesting. Is that a chocolate sculpture of a leopard we spy? Yes, yes it is! And yeah, you heard us correctly. Grand Floridian has a LOT of really cool details. Taking a stroll through this resort means finding all sorts of unique theming details and art pieces. Today, we came across a pretty interesting sculpture that’s been tucked in the lobby for a while now and we just HAD to give it a little spotlight. Grand Floridian Leopard Chocolate Sculpture This piece is called An African Leopard Resting in the Savanna and we originally saw it in EPCOT during the 2018 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. This sculpture was made entirely of CHOCOLATE by the Grand Floridian Resort pastry chefs. Grand Floridian Leopard Chocolate Sculpture It originally debuted as a part of The Chocolate Experience: From Bean to the Bar Hosted by Ghirardelli during the 2018 festival. The exhibit featured several AMAZING chocolate sculptures by pastry teams around Disney World. At first glance, An African Leopard Resting in the Savanna certainly doesn’t match the theming of Grand Floridian, but it was the pastry team HERE that created it! It’s pretty cool that it now has a permanent home in the lobby. Grand Floridian Leopard Chocolate Sculpture Plus, it might fit into the lobby a bit more than you think. A Grand Floridian Cast Member once told us that the resort is themed after luxury hotels where well-off guests would bring relics of their travels to display in the halls. Because of this, you might notice some mismatched furniture and stranger pieces displayed in this resort, almost as if guests brought them from their adventures! Grand Floridian Leopard Chocolate Sculpture So, if you think about it that way, it does KIND OF fit that this sculpture lives here. Maybe a guest brought a chocolate leopard from one of their trips! Did you know you can also find a squirrel cage in the lobby? Pretty cool! If you want to take a gander at this EXTREMELY impressive chocolate sculpture, you can find it tucked behind the stairs in the Grand Floridian lobby. Having trouble finding it? Ask a Cast Member! Grand Floridian Leopard Chocolate Sculpture As always, we’ll be bringing you the news and reviews from Disney World this week. And who knows, maybe we’ll stumble across another very cool detail to bring ya! Click here to see MORE of the chocolate sculptures from 2018!

We are still trying to find as many holiday snacks as we can in the parks and are happy that quite a few selections have stuck around past Christmas this year! Hollywood Boulevard’s Holiday Decorations Well, today we visited the Trolley Car Cafe at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and found a holiday treat that has stuck around but it looked a little…off. While we were grabbing another Eggnog Latte (because who knows how much longer these will be available!) we spotted the Chocolate Chestnut Pinecone looking a little greener than normal… . A VERY Green Chocolate Chestnut Pinecone The Chocolate Chestnut Pinecone is a chocolate pine cone-shaped mousse on top of a praline “leaf” but this normally tasty treat doesn’t look too appetizing with that much green food coloring and white snow. Dare we say it looks…moldy? Especially since it typically looks like this… . Chocolate Chestnut Pinecone This holiday treat is usually pretty tasty and stunning, so this is probably just a fluke and the treat should go back to looking like an actual pinecone! But this was quite an interesting thing to spot in the case today and we couldn’t help but giggle a bit. Check out more holiday treats in Hollywood Studios!

Of all the changes at Disney World this year, the one that we’ve loved the most might be the character cavalcades! Mickey at EPCOT Seeing Mickey and friends riding through the World Showcase or spotting our favorite princesses headed down Magic Kingdom’s parade route really helps us to feel the magic in the parks. We especially enjoy watching the unique holiday cavalcades around the parks, and post-Christmas, one of them got a switch-up! We were visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios today when we happened to hear the Santa Claus Merry Motorcade strolling down Hollywood Boulevard! Santa Claus Merry Motorcade We saw the familiar elf dancers with their presents, and we heard the same festive music, but something was different… Santa Claus Merry Motorcade …Santa was missing and Santa Goofy replaced him instead! We guess it was time for Santa to head back to the North Pole — he’s probably exhausted after delivering all those presents to the good girls and boys. It’s Santa Goofy! We don’t really mind though, because Santa Goofy is so adorable! He really hams it up for the crowd, as you can tell from the video below. We’ll be keeping an eye out to see if Santa Goofy sticks around for the remainder of the holiday season. We’re definitely going to miss these festive motorcades when they’re gone! Santa Goofy!

EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival | Photo from 2020 Festival Disney also shared how MANY booths will be at this year’s festival, and announced that the Spike the Bee Scavenger Hunt will also be returning. So, if you’re planning to visit Disney World during the festival’s run, you’ll have lots of great booths, fun events, and more to look forward to! Click here to see more about the return of the Spike the Bee Scavenger Hunt at the Flower & Garden Festival! 2. The EPCOT Fountain You won’t have to wait until 2021 to enjoy this next one though! EPCOT is undergoing a massive transformation right now, but one new aspect has already been revealed — the new (but totally retro-inspired) EPCOT Entrance Fountain! We’d seen a bit of the pylons that are part of this fountain from the sky and the ground, and we’d seen some sneak peeks, but this week it was finally revealed for all of us to enjoy. EPCOT Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley has previously explained that the design team “took special interest in looking back to the original geometry for inspiration and infusing new features with a little bit of added magic to bridge the past, present and future of EPCOT.” EPCOT Fountain It’s beautiful during the day and at night, and adds a touch of that retro EPCOT feel with a modern twist. Click here to see the new fountain! 3. Blizzard Beach When Disney World closed earlier this year, its water parks closed with it. But, when the Resort reopened, both Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon remained closed. Previously, Disney had shared that it planned to open one of its two water parks on March 7th, 2021, and now we know which one we’ll soon be able to visit. Last week, Disney announced that Blizzard Beach will be reopening on March 7th, 2021! Enjoy a day at Blizzard Beach! Because Disney’s original announcement said that it only planned to open one of its water parks on March 7th, 2021, it seems Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon may remain closed for longer. We’ll let you know if we spot any more info on that. It makes sense for Blizzard Beach to open in early 2021 though, as it will be celebrating its 25th anniversary on April 1st. Click here for more info on the reopening of Blizzard Beach! 4. Snow White’s Enchanted Wish If you’re planning a trip to Disneyland Resort in California for when it eventually reopens, you’ll be able to enjoy something new there in the future. We knew that Snow White’s Scary Adventures, the Snow White attraction at Disneyland Park, was getting a refurbishment, but last week we got a peek at some of the new aspects of the ride! ©Disney For starters, the ride has a new name — Snow White’s Enchanted Wish. The attraction will also feature new scenes and other aspects including a dancing Snow White animatronic in one scene, the scent of apple pie in part of the ride, and a mine scene that’s been upgraded with all kinds of projections and glittering gems! ©Disney Some aspects definitely remind us of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train in Disney World. Although Disneyland Park is closed at the moment, we’re looking forward to experiencing this ride when we’re able to. Click here to see a video and photos about this refurbishment! 5. Keister Coaster And, finally, if you’ll be staying at Disney’s BoardWalk Villas, you’ll be able to check out the new design for resort’s signature water slide at Luna Park Pool — the Keister Coaster! That’s right, the hotel’s clown slide is NO MORE! Mickey and Friends have officially taken over and are ready for some fun in the sun. Keister Coaster Water Slide The coaster had quite the series of reveals, with a typo in the initial design that was later corrected, but now construction walls have come down near the area and we’ve been able to check it out for ourselves as the remainder of construction around the slide is finalized. When we last visited, there were still some construction walls around the slide and the slide itself was not yet accessible. We’ll be keeping an eye on the construction progress here and let you know of any key updates. Do you miss the clown or are you happy with the new Mickey and friends look? Click here to see more photos of the slide’s new design! Well, that’s our list of the 5 things you’ll be able to enjoy or look forward to enjoying on your next Disney trip! We’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so be sure to stay tuned for more updates so you can best prepare and plan for your next Disney vacation.

There’s a reason that EPCOT is often known as a foodie park…because there are SO MANY delicious food options! Spaceship Earth Whether you’re heading to the American Adventure to get some barbecue, over to France for some yummy pastries, or stopping by Japan for some fun snacks in the Mitsukoshi store, there are snacks for every taste in the World Showcase. Now, another snack option has returned to EPCOT for a limited time, and it’s a big one for pizza fans! If you find yourself craving Via Napoli‘s pizza at EPCOT, but you can’t score a reservation, then head on over to their pizza window: Pizza al Taglio! This walk-up window has reopened for a limited time in EPCOT’s Italy pavilion (we usually see this happen when the park is busiest). The temporary reopening was announced this weekend on the Via Napoli Pizzeria Twitter: The tweet announced that for its reopening, the pizza window would be serving up slices of pizza, cannolis, and frozen sangria. When we stopped by the window, we were told that it should be open from now until New Year’s Day. Pizza al Taglio We checked out the menu that was posted in front of the restaurant, and our mouths are watering just thinking about some of these options! Pizza al Taglio We’ll be keeping an eye on this spot to see if we learn any more details, and we’ll be looking out for more limited-time offerings, as we expect the parks to be pretty busy this week!

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is a new attraction coming to EPCOT in 2021! ©Disney We’ve been keeping track of all the France pavilion construction updates. The EPCOT expansion is getting for its debut and the attraction will open next year for guests to experience. Disney has given a peek inside the attraction and a closer look at the expanded pavilion! Emily Jacobsen was one of the many TikTok creators who dreamed up songs inspired by Ratatouille. Her song inspired TikTok users everywhere to write music for the unofficial Ratatouille musical. Disney decided to take Jacobsen on an exclusive tour of the attraction and the France pavilion expansion. ©Disney The ride will “shrink” audience members to the size of a rat and have them navigate through Gusteau’s kitchen. You’ll experience the attraction with all your senses, including smell! You can’t have a bustling kitchen without smelling the delish food! She also got to try on the brand new Ratatouille Chef Ears that will be released next year! The headband features a Chef’s hat, ears, and a cute little nose. In the background, you can clearly see the new fountain featuring rats popping champagne! ©Disney Stay tuned with us as we learn more about the new attraction! We’ll continue to update you as more information is released! Take a closer look at the new Ratatouille headband right here! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

The Christmas rush is almost over and we’re FINALLY heading into the New Year! Liberty Belle Riverboat at Magic Kingdom Say goodbye to 2020! (We won’t miss you. Like at all.) You might be welcoming 2021 at Disney World this week. It could get busy as the remaining holiday crowds linger to ring in the New Year. We’re here to help you plan with our weekly refurbishment updates! Let’s recap with everything that’s closed for refurbishment between December 28th through January 3rd, 2021! Tom Sawyer Island and Liberty Square Riverboat The Rivers of America has been drained while Cast Members work on the surrounding area. We’ve been watching the river slowly drain and right now it’s completely dry! This isn’t a subtle refurbishment either. You’ll see the muddy river bottom and tracks that guide the riverboat. Rivers of America Speaking of! Without water, the Liberty Square Riverboat can’t transport guests on its daily tour. The riverboat is temporarily unavailable while the area is refurbished. Drained Rivers of America You also won’t be able to access Tom Sawyer Island with the river being drained as well. It’s actually an island and you need to take a raft to get there! We recently noticed that scaffolding has been installed around Harper’s Mill on the island. Harper’s Mill Scaffolding Both attractions are scheduled for refurbishments until February 28th, 2021. See more updated photos of the drained Rivers of America here! Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover We hate to break it to you…but the PeopleMover is STILL closed. For those of you just tuning in, the PeopleMover was supposed to reopen all the way back in July with the rest of the Magic Kingdom. (Seems like a lifetime ago, right?) Well, that didn’t happen and we circled the area for a while waiting for any signs of life. PeopleMover Closed Instead, the PeopleMover got put on the refurbishment list and we cried in our Space Ranger Slushies. We had hope because it seemed that the PeopleMover would reopen the day after Christmas. PeopleMover Closed Santa didn’t come this year and the closure was extended to January 9th, 2021. We bought another churro to comfort ourselves. We’ll be keeping an eye on the calendar just in case it gets extended again. *Fervently knocks on wood.* Read more about the PeopleMover closure right here! Walt Disney World Railroad We’ve been keeping you updated on all the construction for TRON Lightcycle Run. The tracks are taking shape and it’s starting to look closer to the finished product every day. The good news is: we’ll soon have another high-speed roller coaster in Disney World. The bad news is: construction is interrupting the train tracks at the Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom Train Station The roller coaster is located towards the outside of the theme park which is where the train tracks run. That means that the Walt Disney World Railroad is not currently running at this time. TRON Construction We don’t have a clear indication when the train will start running again. TRON is set to open in October 2021 so it could potentially reopen at that time. We’ll have to wait and see! See more TRON construction pics here! Future Closures We should also note that Kali River Rapids will be closed starting January 4th, 2021. Some water rides will close during the wintertime to get a little freshening up. It’s also because water rides aren’t super popular in the cold weather. Kali River Rapids As of now, Kali River Rapids is scheduled to stay closed until April 1st, 2021. Read more about the Kali River Rapids closure here! You’ll notice a lot more construction around the theme parks as well. EPCOT is loaded with construction walls as the park prepares for its massive overhaul. (Except for the front entrance fountain which was just revealed!) You’ll also notice construction at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and a temporary scrim facade over the Main Street Train Station. Happy New Year, friends!

2020 has been the year of 1 million Minnie ears, and it seems like 2021 is going to continue that trend! 2021 Minnie Ears Just recently, we’ve seen Cornflower Blue, Champagne, 2021, and fireworks-themed Minnie ears, not to mention the dozens of other pairs we’ve shopped in the Disney parks and online throughout the rest of this year. Now, we have a sneak peek at one of the new pairs coming next year, and they’re made to match a new attraction! Recently, Ratatouille superfan Emily Jacobsen got a chance to visit Disney World’s EPCOT and get a sneak peek at the construction going on with Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. Jacobsen gained popularity on TikTok for a song she wrote about Remy, which skyrocketed the “Ratatouille Musical” trend on the social media platform. ©Disney Remy himself greeted her during her visit, and Jacobsen got the opportunity to model a new pair of Minnie ears that are coming in 2021 — the Ratatouille ears! The new headband features Remy’s ears with a little chef’s hat. You can get a better glimpse at the accessory in the screenshot from the Disney Parks Blog TikTok account below. ©Disney The chef’s hat has the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure logo, so we imagine these ears will release with the ride (but an opening date has yet to be announced). We can’t wait to hear more about this upcoming attraction and all the merchandise that comes with it! Want to Know More About Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure? Click Here!

EPCOT Whether it’s New Year’s Eve park hours or what the new Park Hopping system will look like when January 1st rolls around, here’s some of the key planning details you’ll need so you can tackle Disney World next week like a pro!

Will you be ringing in the New Year in Disney World? Magic Kingdom I’m sure that most of us are ready to leave 2020 behind, and some of us are lucky enough to be saying “Helloooooo, 2021!” in Disney World. If you’re headed out soon, you’ll want to look at that fickle Florida weather. Let’s check out next week’s forecast! Weather Forecast We’re gonna start the week with slightly more consistent temperatures than last week. The weather was ALL OVER the place this week so it’s nice to have something a little steadier. That said, temperatures will drop a little bit towards the end of the week. Check it out! December 28th Monday, December 28th, the high will be a little bit warmer than Sunday with a nice sunshiney 73 degrees. The low is a little bit higher in the mid-50s, but that’s still brisk temperatures for Florida! ©The Weather Channel This is another dry day but you could still find yourself shivering while you watch the holiday projections if you don’t layer up! December 29th When we reach Tuesday, December 29th, we should see yet another precipitation-free day. Temperatures are pretty similar to the prior day if slightly warmer with a 74-degree high and a 59-degree low. ©The Weather Channel Definitely don’t leave that pullover at home! December 30th On Wednesday, December 30th, the high warms up just a few degrees more… ©The Weather Channel …and the low does too! The chance of rain ups a little bit here, but it’s still relatively unlikely. December 31st For Thursday, December 31st, that high pops up to 79 degrees — the highest of the whole week! ©The Weather Channel The low is back down in the mid-50s so make sure you layer! You might be hot during the day to be cold late at night. New Year’s Eve also marks the highest percent chance of rain with around 40% chance of precipitation during the day and at night. January 1st We’re starting off 2021 with a big dip in temperatures back down to a 66-degree high and a 49-degree low for January 1st! ©The Weather Channel Those are some Florida winter tips! We’ll hopefully avoid rain on New Year’s Day, but there is a chance so maybe pack that poncho in your park bag. January 2nd And we’ll wrap up our holiday week on January 2nd with those temperatures sitting at a comfy 70-degree high and a brisk 54-degree low. ©The Weather Channel Not sure how to manage chillier temperatures in Disney World? We’ve got some cold weather tips to help ya out. Overview of the Week Here is a full overview of the week according to The Weather Channel. The temperatures go on a bit of a rollercoaster this week. We’ll feel everything from the high-40s to almost 80 degrees! ©The Weather Channel Other websites like Click Orlando News 6… ©Click Orlando News 6 …and WESH 2 News have similar forecasts throughout the week. ©WESH 2 News You probably won’t be sweating in Disney World this week. Florida winter is in full swing and that means surprisingly chilly temps in the evening. Keep in mind though, weather forecasts are ever-changing. These days could look VERY different from their projections so you’ll want to keep checking as you’re packing. Click here for tips to survive Disney World weather! How Should You Plan? If you are headed to Disney World next week, we’ve got a few tips on how to plan for the weather! It’s time to pack those layers! Our number one tip for winter in Orlando is to pack layers in both your luggage AND your daily park bag. A scarf or light jacket can do WONDERS when that surprising Florida chill hits. Plus, you won’t want to wear ONLY warm clothes since those days could get toasty! We like to make sure there’s a short-sleeved shirt under all those layers, just in case. Winter Magic Hat and scarf Eating your way around EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays isn’t nearly as fun if you’re not sporting the right apparel for the weather. If you DO find yourself dealing with chilly temps and not enough layers, head to a nearby store. Disney is stocked with lots of weather-braving options — even if they do tend to be a little pricy. Health Measures can get tricky when it’s cold! As we mentioned last week, stores can get more crowded during the day. Folks tend to head inside as the temps drop to get some of that heating, but this can create difficult social distancing situations even with capacity limitations. Riverside Depot Another thing we’ve noticed is that hand sanitizer plus cold days equals very, VERY dry skin. We definitely recommend packing a travel lotion to moisturize between all that hand sanitizer and hand washing. Click here for more tips for packing your park bag! We hope you bring in a GREAT New Year in Disney World next week and we hope this forecast helps you pack for it! We’ll be back next week with the first FULL weather update of 2021!

Having some post-holiday blues? Step inside Disney’s Animal Kingdom for a little pick-me-up! Tree of Life Chameleon It’s time to head into the theme park full of wild animals and wild rides! We headed inside to seek out new food, merchandise, and attraction updates. Come check out what’s new at Animal Kingdom! Animal Kingdom Food Update Nomad Lounge Did you think we were done with Christmas treats?? Guess again! We found a Holiday Trio dessert special from Nomad Lounge so we had to give the treats a try! The special comes with a Gingerbread Mousse, a Peppermint Mickey Dome, and a Black Forest Cake. Fair warning: these desserts were SWEET, but we did enjoy having another holiday snack! Holiday Trio Dessert at Nomad Lounge The dessert trio is $13 and is available until January 2nd. Read our review of the Holiday Trio right here! Trilo-Bites A NEW Golden Margarita has popped into DinoLand, USA! This marg is what salty, tequila dreams are made of. It’s made with Jose Cuervo Gold Tequila, Grand Marnier, Sweet-and-Sour, Lime Juice, and Sparkling Golden Salt. Golden Margarita The drink is supposed to come topped with a Golden Lime slice, but the Cast Member said they were having a hard time keeping them stocked. Ah, well! We still thought it was delicious and refreshing! The drink costs $14. See more glamour shots and a review of the Golden Margarita! Restaurantosaurus Lounge We headed into Restaurantosaurus seeking out more holiday specials. There weren’t any on the menu, but the bartender offered to whip us up a little something. The Raspberry Fizz used to be served at a pop-up bar so the bartenders mixed us this secret menu surprise! It’s made with Bacardi Raspberry, Sprite, and cranberry juice and garnished with a strawberry. Raspberry Fizz Disney bartenders are really experienced and knowledgeable. If you’re interested in a drink that’s not on the menu, feel free to ask if they can make it for you. They might be able to help you out and it doesn’t hurt to ask! Read our Raspberry Fizz secret menu review here! Also, just so you know, the Christmas Tree Popcorn Buckets were still on sale at the popcorn stands. Get yours before they leave for the holidays! Christmas Tree Popcorn Bucket and Lion King Cup Animal Kingdom Atmosphere Update Crowds! Disney World has been very crowded this past week. The leftover Christmas crowds are still coming in droves. We noticed LONG lines extending outside of attractions and winding through paths… Expedition Everest Line …a huge PhotoPass line for a picture in front of the Tree of Life… PhotoPass Line …and crowd congestion in pathways. Crowded Path The line for Kilimanjaro Safaris was so long that it extended into the Festival of the Lion King queue! (We were hoping that we would be able to enter the empty theatre while waiting in line, but no such luck!) Kilimanjaro Safaris Line in Festival of the Lion King We should note that the looks extra long due to physical distancing. The wait time was posted at 45 minutes when it extended into the theatre queue. See more photos from the extended Kilimanjaro Safaris line here! Pandora – World of Avatar We also popped into Pandora – World of Avatar to take in the atmosphere. We noticed that the main waterfall that flows from the Floating Mountains was turned off! We were told that the water is turned off when it’s cold so it doesn’t blow freezing water on guests. It still makes a cool photo op without the water! Floating Mountain Animal Kingdom Merchandise Update Discovery Trading Co. We found this awesome National Cane Cane Celebrate Today pin. It appropriately stars Jack Skellington from Nightmare Before Christmas and costs $17.99. National Candy Cane Day Pin Holiday merchandise went on sale earlier this month. While the sale included many Christmas items, some merch like the holiday face masks were excluded. The masks are now on sale for 30% off too! Face Mask Sale At this point, the only items not part of the sale are Christmas ornaments. Learn about the holiday face mask sale here! Two more important updates before we go. We got more pics of the baby Babirusa that was born last summer. Look at how big she’s getting!! Baby Kirana! And, as a quick reminder… You ARE Most Beautiful! That’s all for today! We’ll be back real soon to try more drinks, wait in more lines, and take pics of more baby animals! Check out the new Chinese New Year Spirit Jersey from Disney World here!

California has continued to put new health and safety guidelines in place to make sure that both tourists and residents are protected. Disneyland Entrance As the state issues new and strict regulations, California may also be extending one of its previous guidelines into the beginning of 2021. While California has been under a stay-at-home order since the start of December, the Los Angeles Times has reported that the state may be extending its stay-at-home order that expires today. Since the ICU capacity has dropped to 0% with cases at an all-time high, the renewed order may extend for several more weeks. Disney California Adventure Park The stay-at-home restrictions place prohibitions on gatherings and outdoor restaurant dining and reduce capacity at retail stores. Some businesses may experience closures, including hair salons, nail salons, card rooms, museums, zoos, and aquariums. Balloons at Downtown Disney For the stay-at-home order to end, California’s ICU capacity most likely will need to reach 15% or above. Currently, Southern California and the San Joaquin Valley regions are standing at 0% ICU capacity. We’ll update you on how any new guidelines may affect Disneyland and the Downtown Disney area.
