food IS a theme park
Okay, okay, we can’t believe we’re saying this either: we’re over halfway through 2025. Eek!
2025 Merchandise
We know 2026 is really upon us because new yearly merchandise is starting to pop up at Disney World. We have officially spotted the first 2026 souvenirs.
There is nothing like bringing the Disney magic home to you!
Haunted Mansion
We are obsessed with anything Disney, and even more specifically, the Haunted Mansion, so when we saw the brand-new Starbucks tumblers, we knew we had to have them! Let’s check out exactly what we’ll be sipping our iced coffees out of for the rest of time right here!
The Cars are coming.

This past summer, Disney shocked the theme park world when they announced that a Cars-themed expansion was coming to the Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland, controversially replacing the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island. According to Disney, the area will blend into Frontierland by tying “into the themes of exploration and adventure that inspire so many of us to keep propelling forward.” Get ready for Piston Peak National Park!

We recently posted a question about Lightning Lane Multi Pass and asked our readers what they would like to see changed with this service. You all came through and gave us some great insight into what Disney fans would love to see changed with Lightning Lane Multi Pass. Let’s take a look at what you all said!
Well, it’s a small world after all!
“it’s a small world”
A new change is coming to “it’s a small world,” and now the attraction will feel even more special with every ride!
How can you get as much done in Epic Universe as possible with just one day? What do you need to bring with you that you DON’T have to bring to OTHER theme parks?

And which rides are gonna give you a NEW reason to get back in line over and over and OVER again? These are all the things you should ALWAYS do at Epic Universe… no matter WHAT.
Being a Disney World Annual Passholder comes with a WHOLE LOT of perks.
Disney World Annual Pass
Not only do you get access to the parks pretty much whenever you want (depending on the type of pass you have!), but you also get special discounts, merchandise, and more. And, every once in a while, Disney celebrates Passholders with a MAJOR event and extra perks — but a major perk is ending soon.
GEO-82, you already have our hearts!

On June 4th, EPCOT opened its adults-only Spaceship Earth-themed lounge, and we’ve been several times, trying everything on the menu. It comes at a cost, but the quality, atmosphere, and overall experience make this a must-do. If that wasn’t enough, the lounge also has souvenirs you can purchase that are selling out faster than a Lightning Lane for Slinky Dog Dash!
Well, it’s officially the end of an era at Magic Kingdom. Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat are both now closed to park visitors.
Tom Sawyer Island
It’s been a long journey, but it seems like Disney has been quick to update the My Disney Experience app and beyond — because new maps have popped up in the park and on the app overnight.
Aulani, Disney’s resort and spa in Ko Olina, Hawaii, is a tropical paradise that, of course, has a touch of Disney magic!
Aulani
Not only is this resort beautiful, but it is also home to some delicious eats like Mickey Mouse-shaped shaved ice and Mickey Mouse-shaped Spam musubi. We recently stopped by Aulani’s family-friendly restaurant, Makahiki — The Bounty of the Islands, for dinner, and we are taking you along with us! Let’s get into it!
