We have some BIG news for you! There are some new character updates in Star Wars Galaxy Edge in Disneyland! Check out who’s coming to Black Spire Outpost.
A NEW restaurant is now open in Disneyland!
WOW!
Tiana’s Palace opened on September 7th in New Orleans Square in Disneyland Park. This spot is themed after Disney’s The Princess and the Frog, with a menu inspired by classic eats of New Orleans. Lots of folks are super excited to try out the new food, but there’s ONE question that EVERYONE keeps asking us, so we’re here to clear things up.
The newest Disney Cruise Line Ship, the Disney Treasure, will be joining the fleet soon.
The Disney Treasure
The Disney Treasure, which will take its Maiden Voyage with passengers on December 21, 2024, will be the sixth ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. The Disney Treasure will celebrate “Walt Disney’s lifelong love of adventure,” as announced in September 2022 by Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro. We recently got a closer look at the staterooms, restaurants and lounges, and the destinations for the new ship.
The new Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana attraction will be opening soon in EPCOT!
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana
The walkthrough experience is in the middle of Cast Member previews and Annual Passholder previews have also been announced ahead of the attraction’s fall 2023 opening to the general public. We’ve taken you on a full walkthrough of the experience and shared an important HACK but now we’re highlighting one other important thing you’ll want to consider when visiting this new experience.
Have you heard of POG juice?
Oh, POG Juice, how we love thee.
POG (passion fruit, orange, guava) juice has been making quite a splash in Disney World lately. You can find it in many locations all over Disney World, including Animal Kingdom, the Polynesian Resort, Animal Kingdom Lodge, and Hollywood Studios as a sorbet! Now, there’s ANOTHER spot where you can locate a variation of this delicious fruity juice.
Do you have a Disney World ride you just don’t want to ride anymore?
Slinky Dog Dash
We know we all have our favorites and we’ve seen some of the longest lines for many of those, like Flight of Passage in Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Rise of the Resistance in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But do you have a ride that maybe you enjoy, but you’ve just had to give up on it for various reasons — because we do!
Some MAJOR changes could be coming to Disney World soon.
Concept Art
During the D23 Expo in 2022, Disney hinted at a potential expansion in Magic Kingdom that could house lands themed to Coco, Encanto, and even the Disney Villains. But Disney also teased the idea of retheming DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom park into a space all about Moana or Zootopia. We’ve since broken down Disney’s concept art in detail and looked at how likely it would be for them to actually be built. Now we’re taking another look at these teased spaces to see what technology could be pointing toward their eventual creation!
Disney’s newest cruise ship is doing something they’ve never done before — bringing the theme parks to the seas.

If you are heading to EPCOT soon, make sure you have a Park Pass reservation.
EPCOT
Every guest needs a park reservation in addition to their ticket to enter a Disney World park. This change came after the closure of Disney World in 2020 and has remained in place. While the reservation system is set to change in January 2024, you must still make a reservation for now. This is important to make your reservations ahead of time as some parks can fill up or “sell out.”
It’s never too early to start planning a Disney World vacation. In fact, we’ve even warned our readers to AVOID visiting the Disney parks all the way in 2028. But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. Instead, let’s look at 2024. There are some BIG things happening in Disney World next year (like the return of the famous Disney Dining Plan, the removal of the park pass reservation rule, and much more). But now that revenge travel seems to be over, are tons of people still going to Disney World?
Disney’s Grand Floridian
We asked our readers on Facebook if they had any trips planned for Disney World in 2024. Did we get a resounding “NO.“? Were our comments flooded with the word “YES!“? Let’s find out!
