The virtual camp was streamed on YouTube and featured a Frozen-inspired drawing class featuring Josh Gad, putting 32 wish kids in the virtual stands for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, a Disney-themed trivia night, and a fireworks show.

Today, the state of California announced its guidelines for theme park reopenings, stating that large theme parks like Disneyland cannot reopen until their county (in Disneyland’s case, Orange County) are in the state’s yellow tier. Source: covid19.ca.gov Also known as a minimal tier, this level means that there is less than 1 daily new case of COVID-19 per 100,000 residents in the county and less than 2% positivity rate for tests. Currently, Orange County is in the Orange, or moderate tier. Source: covid19.ca.gov So, when could Disneyland’s county reach the yellow tier? According to Dr. Clayton Chau, Director, Orange County Health Care Agency, it could be a while. “Personally, I think that we can look forward to a yellow tier by next summer, hopefully. Hopefully,” he said in a statement. Pixar Pal-A-Round Why could it take so long? Three factors: outsiders entering the county, the availability of a vaccine, and the willingness of people to take said vaccine. “I think for a large county like us, especially a county with institution of higher education where folks [are] coming in from outside the county and outside the state, I think it’s going to be very hard to achieve the yellow tier,” Dr. Chau said. “It depends on when the vaccine will come as well as how many doses [are] available for our populations as well as how many of our residents will readily accept the vaccine – those are the three factors that will determine how soon we can get to the yellow tier.” Disneyland Main Entrance Dr. Chau’s comments come after much backlash to California’s reopening guidelines. So far, Disneyland President Ken Potrock, Anaheim Mayor Harry Sidhu, the California Attractions and Parks Association, and more have come out against the guidelines, saying they will keep theme parks in the Golden State shut down “indefinitely.” Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland This is a developing story, and there’s a LOT to unpack with these guidelines and what they mean for Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and beyond.

Today, the state of California announced its reopening guidelines for theme parks, which, of course, includes Disneyland. Disneyland Gate Under the new guidelines, Disneyland will only be able to reopen once Orange County, California — the county in which they are located — reaches the Yellow or Minimal tier, or less than 1 daily new case of COVID-19 per 100,000 people. And once the county reaches that tier, they can only be open to 25% total capacity, indoor dining and drinking establishments within the park can only be operating at 25% and there must be a reservation system. In response, Erin Guerrero, Executive Director of the California Attractions and Parks Association, has issued a scathing statement, saying that “calling the announcement disappointing would be a grave understatement.” Carthay Circle “The governor has not used science or data to inform his decision,” she wrote. “Theme parks have opened and operated safely around the world for months. Data and science prove that theme parks can reopen responsibly anywhere — there is no rational reason to believe they can’t do so in California.” She also called California Governor Gavin Newsom’s plan a “Keep Theme Parks Closed Indefinitely” Plan. ©California Governor Gavin Newsom Following massive layoffs across Disney’s Parks, Experiences, and Products Division, Guerrero stated that this plan “prolongs unemployment for tens of thousands of people, hastens bankruptcy for families and small business owners adjacent to the parks, and contributes insolvency for local governments whose budgets rely on parks as an anchor economic driver.” Read her full statement below, via @TheDCLBlog: Even before today’s news, California’s proposals proved to be controversial, and the guidelines announcement had been delayed and called “set up without regard to actual fact” by Disney CEO Bob Chapek. Following the guidelines, Disneyland President Ken Potrock released a statement, as did Anaheim Mayor Harry Sidhu, all saying these plans hurt the local economy. ©Disney There is a lot to take in and unfold when it comes to the new guidelines, and we will keep you updated as news about these break and let you know what these guidelines may mean for you.

No, Casey’s Corner isn’t open yet. We’d seen some changes made recently pointing to a future reopening, but sadly our corn dog news has gone cold on that front. Corn Dog Nuggets from Westward Ho We did, however, enjoy some corn dog nuggets from Westward Ho in Magic Kingdom recently, but today we found something EVEN BETTER. There we were — walking through Magic Kingdom, admiring Cinderella Castle, and looking for a satisfying snack. We made our way over to Sleepy Hollow Refreshments and nearly jumped for joy when we saw that HAND-DIPPED CORN DOGS ARE BACK ON THE MENU! We repeat — hand. dipped. corn. dogs. Sleepy Hollow Corndog Those who have visited Disneyland or who are Disneyland regulars have a bit more experience with hand-dipped corn dog. We’d seen these beauties at this spot in Magic Kingdom before, but they were later removed from the menu and ultimately replaced by the (not hand-dipped) footlong corn dog. Now, the hand-dipped corn dog is back, and hopefully here to stay! Corn Dog from Sleepy Hollow These corn dogs are dipped to order and served with house-made chips. The one we got was hot and fresh, with that perfect crunch in the fried batter. Corn Dog! We didn’t even feel like it needed condiments, but there were some nearby so we did add a little ketchup, which made it even more delicious in our opinion. Hand-Dipped Corn Dog We absolutely LOVED it. Back when we had the original hand-dipped corn dogs here, we had varied experiences with them (with some being great and others being overdone), but the one we got today was perfection. We will totally be back for more! Corn Dog! You can get this delicious item from Sleepy Hollow Refreshments right now for $10.99. Now we’ve just got to figure out how many they can prepare for us at the same time — we’ll take one for here and a dozen to go please! Click here to see what’s new at Magic Kingdom!

The Germany Pavilion in EPCOT is an unlikely place for a very exciting shopping spot — for Annual Passholders at least. That is until recently… . Annual Passholder Pop-up Shop Last week, the Disney World Annual Passholder Pop-up Shop opened in EPCOT and it’s got LOTS of exciting exclusive merchandise and deals for Passholders. We stopped in recently to see if there was anything new from the last time we visited and we hit the MAGNET JACKPOT. First off, there’s this neat Mickey-shaped EPCOT Passholder Magnet. If you look closely, the blue design is made up of the retro-style land logos we’ve come to recognize from the EPCOT Experience! EPCOT Passholder Magnet Love EPCOT but looking for something a little more colorful? You could pick up this Figment Passholder Magnet! We’re not sure who gave him the okay to paint Spaceship Earth but we’re not ones to argue with an imaginary purple dragon. Figment Passholder Magnet Something about this Haunted Mansion Passholder Magnet makes us think it popped up on the wrong coast (this tends to happen with Disneyland still closed!). Maybe it’s the Hatbox Ghost or the design of the Haunted Mansion. Well, we love it all the same! Haunted Mansion Passholder Magnet And finally, there’s this fun Holiday Passholder Magnet! We love this once since it’s such a cute combo of Christmas-y designs and nods to Disney attractions! Holiday Passholder Magnet You can find each of these magnets available in the Annual Passholder Pop-up Shop for $14.99 BEFORE discounts! It’s gonna be so hard to pick which one we’ll get.

Name a more iconic Disney resort hotel water slide than the Keister Coaster at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn and Villas. We’ll wait. Luna Park Pool at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Well, something is going on with our clown-faced friend, and we’re not sure how we feel about it. Luna Park Pool went under construction a few weeks ago, covering up the Keister Coaster’s visage in the process. Now some surprising details are emerging… Could it be (GASP!) CURTAINS for the CLOWN!? We didn’t even want to say it but here we are, writing to you guys about how our beloved (?) Keister Coaster may not be returning. Sure, he’s terrifying beyond all belief and the physical manifestation of some of our worst nightmares, but what would Disney’s BoardWalk be without him? Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Pool Yikes, those eyes really are something, huh? Well, there’s been an interesting development with our clown-y friend. With the slide completely covered up, rumors have been swirling that the clown part of the Keister Coaster may be gone for GOOD. So, we looked into it. Luna Park Pool Not much had changed on the outside when we checked in on the Luna Park Pool today. The construction barriers and scrims are still up so you can’t tell whether the Keister clown is still there or if he hopped into his clown car and skedaddled. Luna Park Pool Construction BUT, a Cast Member gave us confirmation that the clown is no longer with us and isn’t expected to return! That’s right folks, looks like our buddy has moved on to the big top tent in the sky. This is SUPER surprising considering Disney hasn’t made a peep on the subject of the clown leaving. Luna Park Pool Construction We have to wonder when that blue sky scrim comes down what will replace the Keister clown? The rest of the slide appears to be remaining as is — in rollercoaster form — so it will be interesting to see what becomes the NEW centerpiece of this pool. We could TOTALLY see a cool, lit-up BoardWalk style sign! Luna Park Pool Construction You can bet we’ll be keeping a very close eye on our dear friend the Keister so we can bring you alllll the updates. Oh, and we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed that his replacement isn’t just as scary! Click here to see more pictures of the Luna Park Pool construction!

The State of California has issued its theme park reopening guidelines, pushing a potential reopening for Disneyland into the fourth tier of reopening. Orange County currently remains in the second tier. Sleeping Beauty Castle With the release of the new guidelines, an outpouring of response has come from the community in and around Anaheim. The Anaheim Mayor took to Twitter immediately after the announcement to issue a statement, and now Disneyland’s President has done the same. Disneyland President Ken Potrock released a statement regarding these new guidelines. He stated, Disney has proved that they can open responsibly and then goes on to say that “Nevertheless, the State of California continues to ignore this fact, instead mandating arbitrary guidelines that it knows are unworkable and that hold [theme parks] to a standard vastly different from other reopened businesses and state-operated facilities.” ©Disney The statement warns that the guidelines will “keep us shuttered for the foreseeable future, forcing thousands more people out of work, leading to the inevitable closure of small family-owned businesses, and irreparably devastating the Anaheim/Southern California community.” Disneyland gate with plexiglass These guidelines and the responses to them are a lot to unpack, so stay with us over the next few days as we look into what these mandates really mean for Disney World.

The Disneyland Resort theme parks remain the only Disney parks internationally that have not announced a reopening due to government restrictions. Sleeping Beauty Castle California’s Governor Newsom said discussions regarding theme park reopening guidelines were “forthcoming” some time ago. Disneyland and other California theme parks requested, however, that the state not finalize the guidelines without their input. Early details about the guidelines were revealed a few weeks ago, but their official release was delayed following pushback. Today, the official theme park reopening guidelines were finally released. These completed theme park guidelines give us a glimpse of what to expect when it comes to health and safety measures in Disneyland, such as cleaning procedures and capacity limitations. Disneyland Gate California Theme Park Reopening Guidelines Generally First, California has been operating under a tiered system in relation to its reopening plans. Source: covid19.ca.gov Under the new guidelines, theme parks located in counties in the Purple or Red tiers cannot reopen at all. If a county is in the Orange tier, operations will only be permitted for smaller parks, defined as parks with a capacity fewer than 15,000. Disneyland Resort’s theme parks exceed that. In fact, it was estimated that in 2019, Disneyland drew approximately 51,140 visitors per day. This means both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park would not be able to open whatsoever under the Orange tier, although local authorities had previously suggested they should be able to. Disney California Adventure Park Instead, the Disneyland Resort theme parks will only be able to reopen when Orange County, California — the county in which they are located — reaches the Yellow or Minimal tier. Currently, Orange County remains in the Red or “Substantial” risk tier. Source: covid19.ca.gov Even when Disneyland reaches the Minimal tier, they must follow a number of specific guidelines, including: Limiting capacity to 25% of total facility occupancy based on the design/operating capacity or fire department occupant limit, whichever is fewer; Limiting capacity on all indoor dining and drinking establishments within the park to 25%; Implementing a reservation system; and Following the modifications in this guidance and being “prepared for inspections by public health officials to ensure adequate implementation of all required modifications.” Disneyland Health and Safety Reminders Various operational aspects make up a theme park, such as food service, bars, gift shops, hotels, etc. Theme park operators must review any guidance that has already been issued for these separate aspects (such as the Restaurant Guidance, which would impact food service at the theme park, or Retail Guidance, which would impact gift shops in the theme park), and apply any appropriate protocols to all aspects of their operations. Hand Dipped Corn Dog in Disneyland Individual Control Measures and Screening The guidelines specify that the use of face coverings will be mandatory throughout all open theme parks in all settings, indoor and outdoor, unless actively eating or drinking in designated areas or exempted per the CDPF Face Covering Guidance. The guidelines also note that a policy should be developed that requires guests to wear their face masks or be denied access to the amusement park, but they can permit access for those who are exempt under the appropriate guidelines. Enchanted Tiki Room Masks Workers who are consistently within six feet of guests or co-workers, must wear a face mask as well as a secondary barrier, like a face shield or safety goggles. In terms of the reservation system, the guidelines specify that the reservation system should be utilized to contact guests with reservations 24 hours before their scheduled arrival to confirm their reservation and ask if they or anyone in their household is experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms. Disney World’s Health and Safety Signs If the guest indicates that they or someone in their household is experiencing symptoms, then the guidelines state that theme park operators should instruct the guest that they should not come because they will not be allowed to enter. According to the guidelines, theme park operators must cancel reservations for parties with symptomatic guests and refuse entry. Disneyland Park — Health and Safety Reminders The guidelines also note that, if possible, a reservation system should be implemented for individual attractions to ensure capacity limits and encourage physical distancing. Virtual Queue Sign for Merchandise Shop Outside of Splash Mountain in Disney World Guests should also be temperature checked or symptom screened upon arrival at the theme park, and asked to use hand sanitizer. The guidelines also detail a number of requirements that must be put in place for theme park employees. Specifically, a written, workplace-specific COVID-19 prevention plan must be made at every facility, and a comprehensive risk assessment of all work areas and work tasks must be performed. Theme Park operators must train and communicate with their workers about this plan and make the plan available to them and their representatives. Disneyland Park Social Distancing Markers Additionally, workplaces must be regularly evaluated for compliance and any deficiencies must be corrected. Any COVID-19 illnesses must be investigated and a determination must be made if any work-related factors could have contributed to the risk of infection. The workplace-specific COVID-19 plan must be updated as needed to prevent future cases. Retro Disneyland Ears There are a number of other specific rules for employees including notifying employees in writing who may have been exposed to COVID-19, reporting workplace outbreaks to the local health department, topics for worker training, and more.

Ah, the glorious Mickey Waffle. It is hands down one of the most iconic treats in Disney World. Mickey Waffle at Magic Kingdom Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Magic Kingdom has been a go-to for Mickey Waffles (and Nutella Waffles!) for some time, but that’s all changed today and we can’t say we’re happy about it. Mickey Waffles are GONE from the menu at Sleepy Hollow! For starters, here’s a glimpse at the old Sleepy Hollow menu. You’ll want to take note of the Mickey Waffle with Powdered Sugar and the Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich…aka the Nutella Waffle (Served with Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread!). Sleepy Hollow Menu Today, there were only THREE food items on the Sleepy Hollow menu and BOTH the Mickey Waffle and the Nutella Waffle were missing. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Sleepy Hollow Menu But DON’T PANIC! A Cast Member at Sleepy Hollow told us that BOTH the Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich and the Mickey Waffle with Powdered Sugar are available as breakfast items. So, they’re not GONE gone, but they are currently only being served before 11AM. So if you want to chow down on these Sleepy Hollow goodies, you will need to plan your day accordingly. Nutella Waffle Sandwich As always, stay tuned to DFB for updates. We’ll be sure to tell you ASAP if these two waffle-y delights pop back up on all-day menu.

Ahh, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort — a cozy spot with the added benefit of being walkable to EPCOT AND Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Yacht Club Resort Lobby When the resort reopened last month, we noticed a few furniture updates around the resort’s lobby. And now, the Yacht Club Lobby has seen some more pretty significant changes. Let’s see! The first thing we noticed was that the notable centerpiece globe has been relocated from the center of the room to near the window by the stairs. Yacht Club Lobby Updates The spot where the globe was is now empty making the space feel much clearer and brighter. In this pic, you might also spot a change to the lobby desks to the left of the entry. On the right, it remains one solid desk… Yacht Club Lobby Updates …on the left, it’s been broken up into several smaller desks that give the Cast Members more room! Yacht Club Lobby Updates Cast Members told us the changes wrapped up last week and that they like the way things look!

Since Disney World reopened we’ve seen various changes, like the introduction of the Park Pass reservation system, social distancing measures, online check-in at table service restaurants, and more. Magic Kingdom One area where we’ve seen some serious changes is Disney World’s holiday offerings for 2020. Although we’ve already gotten lots of details about what to expect for Halloween and Christmas, New Year’s Eve is still a large question mark. What will New Year’s Eve be like at Disney World this year? Here’s what we know. New Year’s Eve is notoriously one of the busiest days in Disney World. Before the closures, many of the parks were known to hit capacity on this day as guests gather to celebrate and watch one of Disney World’s many New Year’s Eve fireworks shows. How will that work since fireworks are suspended (for now) and crowds are greatly reduced? The LEAST Crowded New Year’s Eve…EVER?? If you think Disney World is crowded during a “typical” summer, you ain’t seen nothing like New Year’s Eve! We’re talking a SEA of humanity type crowds. We’re talking crammed so tight if you lifted your feet you wouldn’t fall over. OK, that one’s a bit of an exaggeration. What we’re trying to say: it’s MEGA crowded on a “normal” Disney World New Year’s. This year? Yeah, not so much. New Year’s Eve Crowds in Magic Kingdom 2019 The Park Pass Reservation system was introduced to control crowd levels at Disney World by limiting capacity in each park each day. Right now, according to CEO Bob Chapek, it’s capping capacity at about 25%. That’s still a lot of people when maxed out. How many? Well, look at that photo below from last New Year’s Eve when Magic Kingdom was at capacity. Pluck three out of four people out of this picture. That many. Heavy Fireworks Crowds – 2019 Sure, it’s a lot fewer people but…it’s still a lot of people by social distancing standards. That’s a lot of folks to “please keep six feet apart!” Without the draw of big New Year’s Eve fireworks (more on that later) there may be no reason for crowds to congregate, making it essentially a regular — albeit busy — day at the parks. That said, guests might still experience the LEAST crowded New Year’s Eve on record in Disney World! Just as we saw with Labor Day (and as we’re seeing with major holiday weekends like Thanksgiving and Halloween), we expect that Park Pass reservations for some, or even ALL, of the parks will likely fill up on and around New Year’s Eve. Crowded Magic Kingdom – New Year’s Eve 2019 At the time of writing, the Park Pass availability calendar is showing full availability for Theme Park Tickets Guests, Disney Resort Guests, and Annual Passholders on New Year’s Eve — but that could all change very quickly. ©Disney If you’re already planning a vacation to Disney World around New Year’s Eve, we highly recommend you get your park passes ASAP, as this has the potential to become a big issue in the future, and could possibly prevent you from visiting the park(s) you want to visit! Park Hours When you think of New Year’s Eve festivities you probably picture the countdown at midnight followed by loads of fireworks, right? Well, it’s going to be kind of difficult to do that this year in Disney World seeing as how the latest any of the parks are open is 8PM! By our calculations, that’s four hours shy of midnight . (Math!) When Disney reopened, park hours were significantly reduced from what they were pre-closure. We’ve also seen them change since then — with all park hours getting even SHORTER in September. On select weekends, we’ve seen an extra hour here or there added back in October as well as November. If you were expecting to party in the parks ’til the wee hours on New Year’s, you might be disappointed: New Year’s Eve Park Hours…Womp Womp Let’s break that down per park: Magic Kingdom: 9AM to 7PM Epcot: 12PM to 8PM Disney’s Hollywood Studios: 10AM to 7PM Disney’s Animal Kingdom: 9AM to 5PM New Year’s Eve Glasses Remember that in years past, the parks were often open ’til midnight on New Year’s Eve to ring in the New Year in each park. That’s just not the case this year. As far as the calendar is concerned it’s business as usual — just another Thursday in reopened Disney World. Disney could still surprise us though, but it seems doubtful given the circumstances. If the goal is crowd control and social distancing, traditional New Year’s festivities are basically the exact opposite. Entertainment and Decor in the Parks Fireworks go with New Year’s Eve like peanut butter goes with jelly. Problem is: all fireworks have been suspended for the time being at Disney World, and we anticipate that there will not be any fireworks at any of the parks to celebrate the coming of the New Year. It’s not just Disney putting down the sparklers this year either. We’ve seen other spots around the world, such as London, already announce that their New Year’s Eve fireworks will be canceled this year due to the pandemic, according to Sky News. Additionally, News 6 has reported that the New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square in New York City will be “scaled-down and socially distant,” and the event will only allow an “extremely limited group of in-person honorees” in terms of in-person attendance. However, a virtual experience will be created so that others can participate in the countdown to 2021. Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks at the Magic Kingdom In terms of other seasonal entertainment in Disney World, we’ve seen lots of holiday events canceled already, like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and the Candlelight Processional. When Disney canceled those events, they specifically noted that they were canceling “holiday experiences that draw big crowds.” But, not all holiday events are gone. EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays will be back, Cinderella Castle will get some special projections, and other special holiday entertainment has been announced as well. Christmas Tree in Epcot Will we see things like the concerts around World Showcase in Epcot or the DJ on Cinderella Castle’s stage in Magic Kingdom return? Those tend to draw large crowds, at least in some areas, which is something Disney is trying their best to avoid. It’s possible some of these unique New Year’s Eve offerings could return in new or unique ways, similar to how performances by Mariachi Cobre were moved to the America Gardens Theatre. It’s also possible that these concerts will return with social distancing markers specifying where you can stand and party away — like what we’ve seen in the Disney Junior Dance Party! in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Disney Junior Dance Party! What about those complimentary plastic New Year’s Eve hats we’ve seen handed out in the past? It’s possible these may be offered again if they can be distributed safely. But, lines to get these would have to be socially distanced, and Disney would have to be able to handle that with what will likely be decently high crowd levels (people love a free hat!). Magic Kingdom New Year’s Eve Crowds It’s possible we simply won’t see these return for now. Disney Springs If you can’t celebrate at the parks, will you be able to enjoy New Year’s Eve in Disney Springs? The night owl of the bunch, Disney Springs is staying open from 10AM ’til 10PM! World of Disney We anticipate that, similar to what has been announced so far for Halloween and Christmas, there will be special food and/or entertainment offerings available, either continued from Christmas or specific to New Year’s Eve. Christmas Tree Trail at Disney Springs We can only look as far out as mid-December in terms of searching for dining reservations right now, and it looks like the latest reservation we could find (for now) at Disney Springs is 10:00PM at The BOATHOUSE. Assuming you can manage (and the restaurant will allow you) to turn that into a 2-hour dinner, you could potentially spend midnight there (just be thoughtful of your waitstaff if so!). The BOATHOUSE Line in Disney Springs As we get closer to New Year’s Eve, we may see these hours change, however, so we’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for more updates. Disney World Resort Hotels If you can’t spend midnight on New Year’s Eve in other spots around Disney World, what about your Disney World Resort hotel? In previous years, hotels would have parties to celebrate New Year’s Eve. For example, you could dance and enjoy some time at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds, and then watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the beachfront areas. As we mentioned, fireworks seem unlikely, but that doesn’t mean hotels couldn’t hold special events if they wanted to. Fort Wilderness Currently, we’ve seen various hotels offering resort activities, like “Movie Under the Stars,” so it’s possible that small recreation events may be held at some of the resorts on New Year’s Eve. We expect that if any events are held, they will be limited in size and scope, and may potentially only be offered during the day, not at night. Yacht and Beach Club Recreation In terms of dining at the Disney Resort hotels, we can only search for dining reservations as far out as the mid-December right now, but it looks like the latest reservations available (for now) are for around 10PM at California Grill, and 10:30PM at Il Mulino. If you turn those into 2-hour dinners (or thereabouts), you could potentially have a midnight celebration there, but you’d be stretching it. California Grill In other words, there’s a possibility you may just be left to throw a New Year’s Eve celebration in your own hotel room. And, perhaps that’s something that would feel more comfortable for you, as you would be able to control how many people you’re around for purposes of social distancing. But, we would strongly advise you to become very familiar with the food offerings at your hotel, and how late they’ll be staying open. Disney’s Yacht Club Resort Although a few hotels have started to offer room service, note that many aren’t providing that service to guests yet, so you probably shouldn’t plan on having that be your source of late-night dining unless things change between now and New Year’s Eve. Some hotel restaurants are offering food to-go from their table service restaurants, so you may want to grab some of that and store it in your fridge or room for later so you’ve got a meal/snacks later on in the night. Our Table Service To-Go Feast! You can also look at grabbing some items from nearby grocery stores, restaurants, or even your hotel’s quick service location, but again you’ll want to watch out for all of the operating hours. You wouldn’t want to head down in your pajamas only to find out that the spot you were planning to visit stopped selling your beloved Mickey Bars hours ago. Website The Disney World’s website mentions of New Year’s Eve seem to have not been updated to reflect the current situation. But some items discussed on the website — like special snacks — we anticipate will still be available. Screenshot from the Walt Disney World Website We’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for any changes to this website and we’ll let you know when we spot some updates. Overall, we expect that things will likely look very different in Disney World on New Year’s Eve this year, but we anticipate that you’ll still be able to celebrate in some, perhaps smaller and more limited, ways. The crowds will be significantly lighter than years past, but the parks will also be lacking the main reasons — fireworks and festivities — that people flock there in the first place on New Years. If you were planning to party ’til the AM to ring in the New Year though, you might be doing it in your jammies in your hotel room.
