Heads up if you’re flying in or out of the Orlando International Airport (MCO).
Orlando Airport is currently on a complete ground stop.
If you’re flying through Orlando International Airport (MCO) in 2025, you’re in for some very welcome airport security changes.
It’s been a big year for air travel. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has implemented some new protocols to make traveling a bit easier, and has even removed one longtime rule that has undoubtedly been a bother. If you plan to travel to and from Orlando International Airport throughout the remainder of the year, here is a reminder of the changes.

Universal may have just picked out the name of its new park planned for the United Kingdom. Let’s take a look at the details!
Disney World is in the process of some BIG changes, and this one has Disney fans happy.

Disney World
At Magic Kingdom, we are seeing huge transformations. Construction is underway for the new Cars-themed area, Piston Peak, and the new Villains land. Several rides are currently under refurbishment, including Big Thunder Mountain and Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin. At Destination D23, we also got news that one of the most iconic pieces of this park will be seeing some updates in the future, and it has Disney fans talking about it!
UPDATE: Disneyland has confirmed that the Mermaid float in Disney’s Paint the Night Parade experienced a power issue, according to Scott Gustin. While the float was being towed, smoke was seen due to a complication with the brakes. No fire was reported by Disneyland.
On September 10th, there were reports that one of the parade floats at Disneyland was spotted being surrounded by smoke, with reports online saying there was a fire.
Videos on TikTok have been surfacing of The Little Mermaid float having smoke around it and guests being evacuated from the areas.
Phones have become an essential part of the Disney World experience, far beyond snapping photos and videos.

Guests rely on them to check wait times, book Lightning Lane access, and even place mobile orders for food, making the park experience more convenient than ever. With so much of the day-to-day magic now happening through a screen, it’s no surprise that phone use on rides has become a hot topic among fans. Capturing memories mid-attraction is just one more way guests are integrating technology into their Disney adventures, but not everyone agrees it should be allowed.
Zootopia has been getting a lot of love from Disney recently. Shanghai Disney Resort launched an entire land devoted to the movie in 2023. A brand new Zootopia attraction, Zootopia: Better Zoogether, is coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Disney World. PLUS Zootopia 2 will land in theaters later this year.
So what’s next? A stage musical? Well, the answer to that is “yes!” According to an audition notice on Broadway World, Disney is looking for performers for a Zootopia stage musical!
Now that Epic Universe has been open for a few months, I think it’s about time to tell y’all some NEW tips, tricks, and observations that we’ve picked up during our most recent visit.
Let’s go!
Okay, we may or may not be freaking out right now. One of our favorite TV show characters is getting her time to shine, and we’re ready to hop on a plane to experience it ourselves.
We’re massive fans of Bluey, and a United Kingdom theme park just announced that a new ride dedicated to the Heeler family is coming in spring 2026.
