Everything New Coming To Disney World In 2022

Happy New Years! Now that it is officially 2022, we have to talk about everything new coming to Disney World!

A new cavalcade called “Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade” is coming to Disney World in early 2022. It will have more characters than any other cavalcade.

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Resort will be opening on March 1, 2022. It will be two nights long and you will get to build your own lightsaber, eat at Crown of Corellia, meet characters from Star Wars, and so much more! It will be near Hollywood Studios.

Epcot will be opening a a ride called Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This ride will be in Epcot in the summer. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will be Disney’s first thrill ride that has a reverse launch. The ride will be one of the longest completely closed coasters in the entire world.

Tron Lightcycle Power Run will open in Magic Kingdom in 2022. Tron Lightcycle Run will take you on an epic adventure on a lightcycle. This ride was inspired by a similar ride located in Shanghai Disneyland.

The new Epcot entrance is still under construction. The new entrance will have greenery, winding paths, and the Leave a Legacy photos will be relocated.

Disney announced a new quick service restaurant in Epcot will be opening, but we don’t know when. We do know it will be called Connections Cafe and Eatery. It will replace Electric Umbrella, which is currently closed.

A new Walt Disney statue is supposed to be coming to Epcot, Dreamers Point is going to be part of the World Celebration neighborhood, and a wishing tree will be coming. Also, a story fountain will be coming. This story fountain will celebrate iconic Disney story telling. We do not know when this all will be happening.

A new play pavilion is coming to Epcot. It will be called Wonders of Life Pavilion. Disney said it will,”Build on the power of play, [the new pavilion] introduces an immersive and interactive ‘city’ where you can explore, create, interact with some of your favorite Disney characters.” We do not know when Wonders of Life Pavilion will open.

Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana will connect you to Moana and water in a walk-through experience. We do not know when Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana will open.

Back on June 25, 2020, Disney announced Splash Mountain would be rethemed to a Princess and the Frog ride. The ride will be about Tiana and Louis as they prepare for their first Mardi Gras performance. Construction hasn’t started yet, so we do not know when the ride will be ready.

The China pavilion is getting an updated 360 degree show. This show will be called Wondrous China. Disney has not said yet when this show will open.

Roundup Rodeo BBQ will be a full service restaurant in Toy Story Land. This restaurant will make you feel like you are in Toy Story. Construction has started, but we don’t know when this restaurant will be finished.

We have a lot to look forward to in 2022!

Look At These Disney Themed Board Games!

When you are in Disney World, there are always interesting merchandise you can buy in different stores!

After you finish riding Dinosaur in Animal Kingdom, there is a gift store that you walk into. The gift store had many Disney themed board games!

First, we have the Game of Life, except it’s Disney!

You can also play a Disney Parks Monopoly.

Are you a fan of the Jungle Cruise ride in Magic Kingdom? If so, you will want this board game!

This Candyland is Disney Theme Park Edition.

I love the board game Clue, so I found this version of Clue very interesting.

We also have a theme park version of Perfection!

At Mouse Gear, I found a Disney Themed Uno!

These Dominoes have hidden Mickey’s.

Those are all the Disney themed board games I found while in Disney World. If you are going to Disney World soon, be sure to check out the stores because you will always find something interesting!

Gelateria Toscana Review

There is a new stand in the Italy pavilion that sells gelato!

Here is a picture of the menu:

I had the Cookies and Cream Gelato. It was absolutely delicious! I loved how there was a lot of little bits of cookies in the gelato.

You can also have one cup that has two scoops of two different gelatos. My dad had the Lemon and Pistachio Gelato. He loved it.

Al had the Strawberry and Cookies and Cream Gelato. He also enjoyed his gelato.

I would give Gelateria Toscana 4 Mickey Bars! The only issue is that the gelato was a little pricey, but besides that we would totally go back!

A Beginner’s Guide To Remy’s Ratatouille Hide and Squeak

Remy’s Ratatouille Hide and Squeak is a fun activity you can do during the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival!

Remy’s Ratatouille Hide and Squeak is a scavenger hunt where you can win a prize at the end.

Remy is hiding in different places through out the World Showcase. Your job is to find statues of Remy with food items and then mark it on your map.

Once you have found all the locations, you will return the map to Disney Traders, World Traveler, or Gateway Gifts.

Have fun finding all the hidden Remy’s!

2021 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival Booth Reviews: Hawai’i Booth

The Hawai’i booth is another booth we went to during the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival!

Here is a picture of the menu:

We had the Passion Fruit Cheesecake. Note: The Passion Fruit Cheesecake is a part of Emilie’s Fromage Montage.

I love cheesecake so I found this dessert delicious! I really liked the toasted Macadamia Nuts on top because it added more flavor to the cheesecake.

I give the Hawai’i booth 5 Mickey Bars!

2021 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival Booth Reviews: Flavors of Fire Booth

Next up is the Flavors of Fire booth!

Here is a picture of the menu:

We had The Corned Beef Corner Route. It was delicious! Note: The Corned Beef Corner Route is a part of Emilie’s Fromage Montage.

The Chimichurri-up Offense was good too, but we liked The Corned Beef Corner Route even more.

I give The Flavors from Fire booth 5 Mickey Bars!

2021 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival Booth Reviews: Brew-Wing At The Epcot Experience Booth

The Brew-Wing booth is located indoors!

The Brew-Wing booth has a lot of seating.

Al and I had the Pepperoni Flatbread. It was good, it tasted like a pepperoni pizza.

My parents had the Garlic-Parmesan Wings that come with celery. They thought the wings were delicious!

I give Brew-Wing At The Epcot Experience 5 Mickey Bars!

2021 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival Booth Reviews: The Donut Box

It’s time to review The Donut Box!

Here is a picture of the menu:

First, we tried the Candy Jar Donut. That is a donut with M&M’s, SNICKERS, and TWIX. I did not like this donut because the donut had too much sugar. I think I would have liked the Candy Jar Donut better if it only had M&Ms or only had SNICKERS or only had TWIX.

Then, we had the Chef’s Donut of the Day. (Note: I got the Lemon Blueberry Donut in July 2021, so when you get the Chef’s Donut of the Day it will not be the same as mine.) It was delicious! You can really taste the lemon in this donut.

I give The Donut Box 4 Mickey Bars!

2021 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival Booth Reviews: Japan Booth

The Japan booth is another booth we ate at while we were at the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival!

Here is a picture of the menu:

I had the Teriyaki Chicken Bun. That is a bun filled with chicken, vegetables, and Teriyaki Sauce.

I am a big fan of bao buns so I loved the Teriyaki Chicken Bun. The bun was soft when you bite into it and the Teriyaki Sauce tasted sweet.

I give the Japan booth 5 Mickey Bars!
