While the previous changes might have seemed small to some, they have had a large impact across Disney World and Disneyland. A new proposal for the system is being presented to shareholders in 2026.

EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts has finally kicked off, and we couldn’t be happier. We have snacks in one hand and paint in the other, so you know all is right in the world.

That’s why each week we like to do a weekly wrap-up of the biggest Disney news from the week, so you don’t miss a thing.
Disney World is no stranger to trends!

They embrace fun food trends, and Cast Members have loved some of the more silly trends like the viral Tower of Terror photopass moment. Some online trends might even get you into trouble in the parks, so you have to be careful. Disney World even falls victim to a good viral TikTok every now and then, and this new one has us wondering just when this new popular trend will pop up in the theme parks.
