We’ve been waiting almost two years to announce this, but The Last of Us has finally announced a premiere date for season 2!
Pixar has created some of the most beloved movies and characters of ALL time, which is why we are still celebrating Pixar characters to this day in Disney parks.
Pixar Place Hotel
Over at Disneyland Resort, Disney California Adventure has a WHOLE Pixar Pier area that includes San Fransokyo Square, dedicated to Big Hero 6. The resort has also had a Pixar Fest in the past (although it doesn’t look like it’s happening this year). There’s even a hotel THEMED to Pixar, Pixar Place Hotel. Well, if you need even MORE Pixar in your life, Pixar Place Hotel is now offering Pixar Putt, a pop-up Pixar mini golf course.
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World’s wait times saw some big jumps this week thanks to President’s Day, led by a new average wait times champion coming out of Hollywood Studios.
Universal is getting ready to open its third theme park, Epic Universe, on May 22nd, 2025 — and we are so ready.

The new theme park will include five themed lands with new attractions, restaurants, shopping, and more. Tickets went on sale last year, but Universal recently released new details about discounted tickets, including discounts for members of the U.S. military. Now, we’re breaking down the details about that discount!
Hi, there! I’ve been obsessed with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) ever since Iron Man was released in 2008 — the irony is that I only went to the movie because my Robert Downey Jr.-obsessed cousin dragged me to it. However, that was it…I was hooked.

I was soon an MCU fanatic, seeing every single Marvel movie in the theater the week it released, sitting patiently through the credits just to see what kind of scene would air at the end (Marvel TRAINED US to do that, y’all). I lived through the pain of Avengers: Infinity War and the triumph of Avengers: Endgame. After that, though, Marvel seemed to lose its footing, it didn’t really know where to go after such an epic saga came to an end. Now, we’d already had SOME Marvel TV shows on Netflix, but Disney started making Marvel shows for Disney+ — and you know what, I think that’s where some of Marvel’s best stories are.
There are so many Cast Members that bring Disney Parks to life — who wouldn’t want to be part of that magic?
Magic Kingdom
We think just about every Disney adult has dreamed about becoming a Walt Disney Imagineer, and Disney just gave us an insider look at what that job REALLY looks like!
runDisney events always bring a certain kind of magic to the parks. From people showing off their medals and posting pictures of their achievements, runDisney welcomes a new crowd of guests to the parks.
EPCOT
While we love the fun energy, the race courses going right through the parks can also cause park closures and traffic!
If you’re visiting Orlando, you’re probably at Disney World or Universal Orlando. But there’s an event happening this weekend that we need to tell you about.

Now, the first thing we need to tell you is that this event is FREE, although you can get tickets to upgrade your experience. However, you’ll get to see Disney performers (among others) without needing to pay a dime. If you’re looking for something to do this weekend through February 23rd, you’ll want to head to IMMERSE, a performing and interactive art festival in the heart of downtown Orlando. It’s like the EPCOT Festival of the Arts, BUT FOR FREE.
Traveling can be stressful, especially when you’re flying! So you’ll want to look out for these things that can make your head spin at Orlando Airport.
Orlando International Airport
If you’re going to Disney World soon and if you’re flying, there’s a good chance you’re flying into the Orlando International Airport (MCO). Because I live further away from Orlando, I usually fly into MCO. Several times, while going through that airport, I noticed that two major issues can leave anyone confused.
