food IS a theme park
How did Disney World’s MAJOR 2020 changes impact the way we navigate the parks TODAY?
Epcot Construction
We’re taking a look into the past to reflect on what happened AFTER the historic COVID closures to see what Disney rules have returned to normal since then, and which ones have stuck around.
Things are about to become quite interesting around Disney World — and not just because of all of the construction that’ll make the parks look totally different.
Magic Kingdom
But, Disney just announced that the Virtual Queues for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT will be going away for good on February 25th, and that’s going to be a game-changer for plenty of reasons — especially since that means there will be no more VQs in Disney World. But, we don’t recommend getting used to that just yet…
May is set to mark the beginning of celebrations for a momentous Disneyland anniversary that will likely draw visitors from all over the world to the “Happiest Place on Earth”… and we think it might be a better idea to wait before going!

Beginning on May 16th, Disneyland will begin celebrating the 70th anniversary of the resort with the Celebrate Happy promotion! According to Disney, the event will feature “new magic that adds even more happiness to some of your favorite attractions, plus special entertainment, colorful décor, food and beverages, the “Celebrate Happy” song, collectible merchandise and more.” However, if you’re planning on joining the celebration, you may be better off waiting until July, especially if you’re a Disney history aficionado.

You’re going to have to excuse us for a hot second because we’re currently researching trips to France, well, Disneyland Paris, that is.
Disneyland Paris
You see, Disneyland Paris is currently undergoing a massive transformation, with Walt Disney Studios Park being transformed into Disney Adventure Land. The land is getting a new entrance, a Lion King-inspired land, a Frozen-themed land, and a ton of other new updates. However, a new restaurant is coming to Disneyland Paris, which is what we’re most excited about, and it’s by a Michelin-starred chef! The restaurant is La Forêt Secrète par Jean Imbert and we now know when it’s opening: March 7th.

The brand-new attraction will officially open on August 14th, 2025 in Las Vegas, and we can’t tell if we’re excited or terrified. It’s probably a little bit of both, to be honest.
Drinking Around the World at EPCOT certainly isn’t new, but it has definitely surged in popularity in recent years.
But, how can you be sure you’re getting the best bang for your buck when it comes to the booze? Luckily for you, I happen to be a pro at doing Disney World on the cheap and also at drinking (for legal reasons, that’s a joke). Drinking Around the World at EPCOT can definitely add up quickly, so if you want to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth — here’s what to do.
Disney has officially announced the actors who will be playing Belle and the Beast in the upcoming North American tour of Disney on Broadway‘s “Beauty and the Beast,” and we’re pretty darn excited about it!

Disney has released some information about this tour — like when it will kick off and which cities will be included — but we also know who will be playing the titular characters, and one of them happens to be our pal!
If this latest update from Universal’s Epic Universe doesn’t get you hyped, we’re not sure we can help you!

Ever since news broke of Universal’s newest Orlando park and all of its themed worlds (and its delicious-looking eats) coming in 2025 we’ve been very busy gathering any and all updates as they’ve come. We’ve scoped out the newest updates to construction on the park and have already stayed in one of the newest Universal hotels to put us as close to the action as possible! However, Universal recently flexed a bit of the new technology we can expect to find within one of the immersive worlds and it has us screaming in an ear-deafening tone!
