Things at Disney World are a little different this year, as is much of the rest of the world.  However, Epcot found a way to make sure guests were still able to enjoy a Taste of the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival.  While this event is a bit smaller than in years past, it actually makes it much more manageable in my opinion! There's enough booths to keep it interesting, but not so many that you wind up overwhelmed with choices. September 1st was the "official" first day of the Food and Wine Festival, merchandise was released, Flower and Garden merchandise was discounted, and we were excited to kick it all off.

Here at Kingdom Konsultants, we've gotten so many questions about how the Walt Disney World theme parks have been since they reopened with the new social distancing guidelines.  Today let's take a photo tour through Disney's Animal Kingdom and see what's different. Tree of Life, beautiful as ever! First up, the crowds: there was really no point in our day where we felt crowded in.  There was always lots of space in the walkways, and we didn't notice any big spikes in crowds throughout the day. Is it really an AK tour if there aren't animals?  The animals on the safari were enjoying a hot Florida day by napping and hanging in the shade.  No social distancing needed for them :)  Dividers have been installed on the Safari trucks This is our personal "every trip we get this photo" spot.  The only difference this year?
