AdventHealth Has Fun Activities For The Taste of Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival

The Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival is happening right now in Epcot and AdventHealth has fun activities you can do with the whole family!

The Health Full Trail Presented by AdventHealth is split into three areas. The Play Full Garden, Mind Full Retreat, and Flavor Full Kitchen.

In the Play Full Garden, you can experience the new Play Circles that promote imaginative play. The circles were made so you and your family can enjoy the gardens while being physically distant from others.

At the Mind Full Retreat, you can relax in a calming atmosphere. After a long day in Epcot, you will definitely enjoy this area.

When you have done enough relaxing, don’t forget to go to the Flavor Full Kitchen to try some health-inspired food.

How Disney World Will Be Celebrating Disney World’s 50th Anniversary

Starting October 1, 2021 Disney World will celebrate Disney World’s 50th anniversary.

It will be called The World’s Most Magical Celebration. It’s such a big deal that Disney has created a new word, EARidescence. That word is to describe what you will see when you visit.

Cinderella’s Castle will get a makeover. It will have golden bunting and a 50th anniversary crest. Cinderella’s Castle will have pixie dust also.

New touches are coming to life at Hollywood Tower Hotel in Hollywood Studios.

Over at Animal Kingdom, fireflies will be at the Tree of Life.

In Epcot, lights will shine across the reflective panels of Spaceship Earth connecting to each other and resembling stars in the night sky. This will stay in Epcot even after the celebration.

Mickey and Minnie Mouse will even have new outfits. The outfits will be made out of custom made fashions of EARidescent fabric with gold highlights. I love their new outfits!

This celebration will be for 18 months. Yes, you heard that correctly! I’ll keep you updated in case we get more information about Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration!

Today we will be talking about all the ways that Disney Springs is now celebrating Christmas!

Santa Clause and Mrs. Clause are now at Lake Buena Vista where they are happily waving to people.

If you want to take a picture with Santa Claus you still can! At the Disney PhotoPass Studio in Disney Springs, you can take a picture in front of a virtual backdrop that has Santa Clause.

This year you are lucky enough to be seeing the Disney Springs Christmas Tree Trail. You can find beautifully decorated Disney Christmas trees all over the neighborhoods of Disney Springs.

In the mood for a Holiday Scavenger Hunt? Now you can do a Holiday Scavenger Hunt at Disney Springs! (Don’t worry, this scavenger hunt follows social distancing guidelines.)

Disney Springs is offering many different forms of entertainment, so you are definitely going to have a magical time while you are in Disney Springs! DJs are playing music at Waterside Stage and Exposition Park. In the evening you can watch Toy Soldier Stiltwalkers, Snowflake Skaters, and a Bell Choir. Also in the evening, while you are in Town Center and the West Side of Disney Springs, it will be snowing!!

A Year In Review: Everything New That Happened In Disney World Part One

2019 is almost over and I thought it would be a good idea to review everything new that happened in Disney World this past year. The list is so long that I will be making a part two.

Back in early January of 2019 Disney announced an offer for free dining! It was for stays between July 5, 2019 and September 30, 2019. You had to sign up for the free dining offer and stay for a minimum of 4 nights. You can no longer use this free dining offer, but if you are curious to learn more about the free dining offer click here!

In March Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy opened. I even was able to go on the ride back in August! Basically, Lightning McQueen teaches the next set of rookies (you) to become awesome racers but something happens! If you want to know what happens go to the ride in Hollywood Studios!

In April, Haunted Mansion started having an on-ride photo. That means that when you ride the Haunted Mansion while wearing your MagicBand a camera will take a picture of you and you will see a Haunted Mansion themed photo. Click here to learn more about that!

Also in April, Disney banned oversized strollers. They now need to be no larger than 31 inches wide and 52 inches long. If you would like to know more about this rule click here!

In May, you could buy Mickey Bars at your local supermarket. They were delicious! They are no longer available. If you would like to see me review this delicious treat click here!

In June the parking rates for overnight guests at Disney World Resort hotels rose, prices on reusable shopping bags rose, and annual passholder prices rose.

You can learn more about the raise in parking rates here, you can learn
more about the rise in price for reusable shopping bags here, and the rise in annual passholder prices here.

So much happened from January to June!

Christmas Is Coming To Hollywood Studios

It’s almost December and I want to tell you about the Christmas fireworks show and more Christmas events that are coming to Hollywood Studios.

You can see the nighttime show Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! This show is complete with fireworks and music. You can help the elves Wayne and Lanny from the movie Prep and Landing find missing Santa Clause.

You can also see the Sunset Seasons Greetings projection on The Hollywood Tower Hotel. It comes with lasers, snow, and stories and songs from Mickey, Minnie, Olaf, and friends.

This sounds very exciting!
