If you felt a shift in the Force, you’re not imagining things. Some MASSIVE changes are hitting Disneyland at hyperspeed!
Galaxy’s Edge
Disney sent shockwaves throughout the galaxy when it announced that Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge land is changing up its theming! Beginning April 29th, 2026, Galaxy’s Edge is getting a timeline reset to include more Star Wars eras — expanding the land’s offerings in a way we’ve never seen! There are a ton of new features and offerings coming to the land, so let’s get into the nitty-gritty.
Animal Kingdom is the name on everybody’s lips today! DinoLand U.S.A. is closed, and the park has a new map to match the direction the park is headed in.
It’s reopened!
To help ease the burden created by the loss of Restaurantosaurus, Disney has revamped Harambe Market and its menu. The quick service, which was originally slated to reopen in March before it got a new February date, has reopened EVEN EARLIER than we thought! We’re bringing you along with us to check out the reopened spot, AND its new menu.
A major shift is coming to Disney Springs, and it’s being led by one of Orlando’s most beloved local restaurants.
Disney Springs!
Gideon’s Bakehouse, famous for its half-pound cookies and gothic aesthetic, is opening an entirely new restaurant concept in Disney Springs, just a few doors down from its original Bakehouse location. Set to open mid-year, it is named Six Ravens. Instead of sweets, it will feature an all-new savory-focused menu, marking the first time Gideon’s has expanded beyond its signature bakehouse concept and signaling a larger trend reshaping Orlando’s restaurant scene.
Public health officials are warning of potential exposure to measles at Disneyland Resort, the Orange County Register has reported.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and other Southern California locations have also seen potential exposure, which has been linked to an international traveler. An airplane passenger who was infected with measles passed through LAX’s Tom Bradley International Terminal on January 26th and traveled throughout Southern California.

Oga’s Cantina at Disneyland has been undergoing changes recently — but it looks like those changes might be coming to fruition soon.
Oga’s Cantina
This Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge bar is a popular spot — despite being a hive of scum and villainy — but it has been closed since January 20th, 2026, with no reopening date in sight. Disney didn’t share much about the closure, but now, it looks like Oga’s Cantina will be reopening soon.
Monsters, Inc. has been one of my favorite movies since I can remember, so when Disney World announced a whole land dedicated to the movie, I was in tears. Of course, I also shed a few tears for the loss of MuppetVision, but Sulley and Mike are on the horizon.

Monstropolis is coming along in Hollywood Studios, and @bioreconstruct on X posted new aerial photos of the construction site. We don’t have an opening date for the land yet, but given how it’s coming along, I wouldn’t be surprised if we get an updated timeline soon!
Get the coffee ready and set those alarms, because you *may* need to start waking up bright and early at Walt Disney World once again soon.
Cinderella Castle
Disney is in the midst of a massive transformation with major, game-changing projects coming to the Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom over the next several years. However, all of the new attractions and IP coming to the parks may lead to a return that some fans will likely dread: Virtual Queues.
If you can imagine this, here at Disney Food Blog, we’re pretty obsessed with Disney dining. We love our snacks and quick service meals, but sometimes the best magic comes up at a table service restaurant. For most table service restaurants, you’ll want to book an Advanced Dining Reservation (or ADR).
Pluto!
One of our incredible readers, The Park Hopper Society, noticed that there were changes to the allergy section when they were booking a dining reservation, and sure enough, it looks like the Disney World app and website made some changes!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
