food IS a theme park
As we’ve said many times, there are few things more important to bring on a Walt Disney World vacation than a good park bag.

The latest park bag we’ve found has CHANGED the game to the point that we might never go back!
At this point, it shouldn’t shock you that we’re getting more construction news at Disney World! Magic Kingdom is getting a massive expansion, Hollywood Studios is getting a new land, DinoLand just closed at Animal Kingdom, and a new resort is coming.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Another refurbishment that is happening right now is at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. The resort has been undergoing refurbishment for a little while now, and Disney just announced that it won’t be complete any time soon!
Is there anything sweeter than dining in Disney World? We mean that literally because we’re talking desserts.
The Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake
There are classics like the iconic Dole Whip, and there are new bites like the ever-rotating options at the Cake Bake Shop Bakery. Sometimes the best desserts are hidden away at Disney resorts, so we recently stopped by Disney’s Saratoga Springs resort to see if this new bite would be a hidden gem or a total skip!
Magic Kingdom is one of the busiest theme parks in the world, and to keep everything running smoothly, there are rules that every guest must follow while visiting.
Cinderella Castle
While planning your Disney World vacation, you are probably focused on what Lightning Lanes to book and where you will eat. But, there is one thing you should do before packing your bag and heading to the parks, and that is to understand the park rules. We’re here to bring attention to the rules you might be shocked to learn about at Magic Kingdom.
Don’t you just love freebies at Disney World?!
Hollywood Studios
We’re constantly at Disney World enjoying the parks and everything they have to offer, and even sometimes we still get pleasantly surprised with what’s going on! We recently went to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and ran into a spot that had FREE souvenirs — interested?
Can you hear that sound? It’s kinda quiet? Oh yeah, it’s our hearts breaking into two.
So. Many. Walls.
DinoLand U.S.A. formally closed in Animal Kingdom in February 2026, and it has truly been a bittersweet process. The land is being replaced with a Tropical American-inspired area called Pueblo Esperanza, which we are excited about, but it hasn’t made saying goodbye to Dr. Seeker any easier. Now, another huge part of DinoLand has disappeared forever, and we aren’t handling it well.
When it comes to Walt Disney World’s busiest – and most popular – attractions, may riders have specific desires: Specific time of day to ride, specific ride vehicles, and even specific seats.
TRON
Whether you are using Lightning Lanes to skip the lines or you’re waiting a while in a standard queue, you’ll want to have the best riding experience possible. There are certain attractions that we think have better seats than the rest of the ride vehicle. But how do you know which ones they are and how do you get these seats? Well, we have a former Cast Member ready to help.
2026 is a year of transition for Walt Disney World, including construction, openings, refurbishments, permanent closures, and — our focus today — DINING changes!
YUM
From refurbishments and new menus to character integration and LONG-awaited reopening, these updates are changing the landscape of Disney dining.
Mark your calendars! A (fake) storm is about to blow through Disney World!
Typhoon Lagoon
If you’re a big fan of Disney’s water parks, you know that they typically rotate which park is open at a time. Typhoon Lagoon closed on February 15th, and Blizzard Beach reopened on the same day. If you’re a huge Typhoon Lagoon fan, you won’t have to wait too long because we finally know when it’s reopening!
We BLINKED and suddenly Disney World’s restaurants were COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
So GET READY for a round-up of the LATEST changes – including the good, the REALLY good, the slightly upsetting, and the TOTALLY unexpected.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
