food IS a theme park
Tomorrow is one of the BIGGEST shopping events of the year as Amazon Prime Days are about to begin!
Amazon
The major shopping hub is set to offer some MEGA-DEALS, including on a litany of our favorite Disney offerings.
From Lightning Lanes, showtimes, and Mobile Order to merchandise checkout, dining reservations, and walk-up waitlists, the Walt Disney World app has become an integral part of a Disney World vacation over the last decade.
Magic Kingdom
Now, Disney has announced a series of updates to their app system that guests visiting the “Most Magical Place on Earth” need to be aware of.
MAJOR changes are coming to a classic Disney Attraction, and many fans – – myself included – – are a bit torn on it.
Carousel of Progress
Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress has been operating in one form or another since its debut at the 1964 New York World’s Fair. The animatronic stage show initially followed a family through the technological advancements of the early 1900s through the mid-1900s, ending in a 1960s-vision of the near future. Following the Fair, the show was moved to Disneyland for about a decade before being shipped back across the country to Walt Disney World.

Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable. Sure, we can look at past data to get an estimate of the crowd levels in Disney World, but you never know what may happen from year to year.
A major change is seemingly coming to Universal’s Epic Universe…and not everyone is happy about it.
Epic Universe
While Universal Orlando’s latest theme park has been acclaimed by both fans and critics since it opened last year, like anything else, it hasn’t been perfect. From issues as serious as a tragic on-ride death to more mundane theme park problems like weather and maintenance-related closures and a lack of shaded areas, Epic Universe has run into its fair share of issues. Now, a new technology policy is an issue.
Disney World’s ride vehicles come in all shapes and sizes. From Space Mountain’s rocket ship-shaped roller coaster trains and the iconic flying elephants on Dumbo to Star Tours’ Starspeeder simulators, Kilimanjaro Safaris’ off-road trams, and Test Track’s lifesize slot cars, there are vehicles fit for every type of ride system and party size.
New ride vehicles
So, let’s say you’re visiting Disney World as a party of three. Obviously, you can ride any of the resort’s attractions, but certain ride vehicles make it much easier to ride together — sometimes as the only party in the vehicle — better than others.
Disney recently dropped a litany of details about the upcoming Monstropolis at Hollywood Studios, including the confirmation that the land will contain a full-scale version of Harryhausen’s!
Our chopsticks
In the original 2001 Pixar film, Harryhausen’s — named after legendary Hollywood special effects pioneer Ray Harryhausen, whose creature designs inspired the Monsters, Inc. design team — is a sushi restaurant in Monstropolis. Its head chef is a six-armed octopus. Why six instead of eight? Because the character is a reference to the 1955 film It Came from Beneath the Sea, which features a similar six-armed creature created by — guess who? — Ray Harryhausen. Disney fans have long hoped that the company would recreate the restaurant at one of its theme parks.
In the nearly 20 years since Iron Man debuted in theaters, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has expanded exponentially. This interrelated series of films, Disney+ series, and shorts creates a timeline that nearly rivals the comic book source material that inspired it, which can be daunting for those trying to watch (or rewatch) the MCU.
