food IS a theme park
Disney World is changing big time in 2026 and beyond! The theme parks are getting a big overhaul, and even the resorts are getting in on the fun.
Treehouse Villas
Recently, new permits have been filed that indicate even more resort changes, this time at Saratoga Springs! If you’ve ever dreamed of sleeping in the trees (and haven’t we all), you’ll want to read this.
‘Tis the season to enjoy the holiday season, whether that be in Disney World, Disneyland, or at home. If you’re celebrating at home this year, you can still bring the magic of Disney and the holidays to your PC, phone, and smartwatch.

How can you do that? Well, Disney just shared a whopping 20 NEW wallpapers for ALL of your devices inspired by the holidays. The hardest thing you’ll have to do is choose which wallpapers you like best!
Animal Kingdom is home to tons of our favorite eats in Disney World. In fact, there are so many great spots and options, it’s sometimes hard for us to choose what to eat when we visit!
Who’s ready for a new snack?
With that being said, when we hear that there’s a new snack or meal in the park, we say YES PLEASE and head straight there, because we almost always have high hopes. Over at Yak and Yeti Local Food Cafes (not to be confused with the Yak and Yeti table service restaurant!), there’s a new entree available that caught our eye, and after trying it, the first thing that comes to mind is that you’ll want to be ready to share!
We recently got a chance to visit Disneyland Paris, and it’s an understatement to say that the parks blew our minds. We got to drink champagne on Main Street, eat at Walt’s — An American Restaurant, and meet Mickey Mouse in a Phantom Manor costume.

However, since our visit, Disneyland Paris has made a TON of announcements, including reveals about its conversion of Walt Disney Studios Parks into Disney Adventure World. One of those announcements was about a new nighttime show coming to that park, Disney Cascade of Lights, and now we have even MORE details about the new show.
The Walt Disney Company is constantly changing and growing! Over the last few years, the company has changed more than we thought possible, especially in the theme parks.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
To keep up with all of the changes, we like to do a weekly roundup of the biggest news drops from Disney World to the Walt Disney Company and beyond. From CEO updates to snack stand updates, we cover everything in between. This week, Disney’s latest updates have major implications for the future of the company.
Ringing in a New Year is fun, but ringing in a New Year in Disney World is even better, right?
New Year’s Eve Fireworks at Magic Kingdom
Well, if you’re making plans to visit Disney World for New Year’s Eve, you may be wondering what all you can see, do, and eat during that special evening. Well, we’re going to outline some New Year’s activities throughout the resort, so you’ll be able to ring in 2026 in the most magical way possible.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is home to some fantastic treasures — you’ve got some of the most popular attractions in the whole resort, two entirely new lands on the way, and, what many people don’t know, is that you can find some truly incredible souvenirs here.
You can find some amazing souvenirs in this park!
While this park is less themed towards the MAKING of films in comparison to how it was when it first opened and in its first few decades of operation, there are still some gems you can find that nod towards how the movies are made. Over at Tatooine Traders right near Star Tours, we found some PRICELESS souvenirs that any Star Wars fan would love to have in their home, but there’s one catch — they’re EACH nearly $3,000.
Hey, packing for Disney World isn’t easy, and there’s probably a lot of your list. You’re probably bound to forget a few items, too. Lucky for you, not only is Orlando a major city where you can get anything you can ever want, but Disney World itself is an entire city with so many essentials.
Cooling Towels
While you can get these essentials in the parks, it’s probably going to cost you a lot more. We found five essentials you can order ahead of time to save some money before even getting to Disney World.
We’ve said it before, and we’ll continue shouting it from the rooftops: the shoes you choose to wear to Disney World are IMPORTANT!
One of our favorite shoes
We’ve tested a ton of different products around Disney World, and that includes shoes. Which ones are the best for wide feet? Which won’t rub you the wrong way? And which shoes are worth the money? We’ve got the answers — and that’s why HOKAs and Brooks shoes are the only ones you should wear to Disney World in 2026.
No one wants to be running late for their flight, but hey, it happens! As you’re sprinting to your gate, out of breath, panicked, and crossing your fingers that you’ll make it, American Airlines has started making things easier this year.
American Airlines
Lots of changes have hit flying this year, especially when it comes to making it through TSA security, but this change happened over the summer, and many people still don’t know about it. If you’re flying American Airlines and running late for your connecting flight, they’ll hold the plane for you for a few minutes…but also send you a countdown that might cause your stomach to drop.
