What a month. Another month without Disney theme parks in the US is over. And unless we see another shut down, it will be the last month that’s the case. I will be honest, with how things are looking in Florida right now I’m not sure that reopening theme parks right now is the best idea. But for those who will be attending, stay safe and I hope you have a great time! I’ll be here at home, recreating Disney recipes, writing about Disney World, and planning trips for the future.
