Disney’s NEW ‘Little Mermaid’ Show Takes BIG Step Forward

By Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, there was a show in Disney’s Hollywood Studios called “Voyage of the Little Mermaid.”

Voyage of the Little Mermaid

The show was a retelling of the animated The Little Mermaid movie with live actors singing some of the most iconic songs from that film. However, the show has been closed since 2020. “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” is a reimagining of the previous show, bringing a live-action re-telling — in a new way — back to Hollywood Studios. The show was originally supposed to debut in fall 2024, but Disney pushed its opening back to summer 2025. Now, though, we are finally seeing something happening with the new show!

By Leave a Comment

Celebrities LOVE Disney World — we often see them hanging around enjoying some time at The Most Magical Place on Earth.

Magic Kingdom

Hey, we get it. We’re just like Charlize Theron and visit every chance we can get (minus her incredible acting talent and bank account).

John Stamos NEVER stops visiting and talking about his love for Disney. Well, we saw a celebrity recently who couldn’t stop TALKING about her latest trip to Disney World.

Magic Kingdom is about to undergo a MASSIVE transformation.

Rivers of America

First, the park is getting a Pirates of the Caribbean lounge, which is set to open in late 2025. Then there’s the new Villains land that we are ALL eagerly waiting to learn more about. An entire part of the park, Rivers of America, and Tom Sawyer Island, is set to be demolished to make way for a new Cars expansion that will expand Frontierland. Disney previously filed the first permit to begin the demolishment of that section of the park but recently had to request an extension for that permit.

We’re Getting STRESSED That This Restaurant Will NEVER Reopen in Disney World

By 3 Comments

It’s no secret that a LOT changed in Disney World after 2020. After the resort’s historic closure due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, it reopened, although not EVERYTHING reopened with it.

Restaurant Marrakesh

Here’s the thing: although it took some restaurants YEARS to return, most of the restaurants throughout Disney World have come back in some way or another. We’ve even had some new restaurants pop up at the parks, the hotels, and in Disney Springs. But, believe it or not, almost FIVE YEARS after the reopening, there are still some Disney World restaurants that have not yet reopened — and we’re starting to think they’re closed forever.

5 Things at Disney’s All-Star Movies Hotel That Haven’t Aged Well for Unexpected Reasons

By 4 Comments

Okay, hear us out: Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort is SO underrated. It’s one of the cheapest hotels on Disney World property, and the theming is generally ON POINT.

Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort

Sure, it’s not like you’re staying at the Grand Floridian, but it’s comfortable enough if if you plan to mostly just sleep in your room and spend most of your time in the parks. Plus you get transportation (although it is JUST buses) to the Disney Parks, Early Theme Park Entry, and you get to stay within the “Disney bubble.” However, as a value resort, we still think there are some things at All-Star Movies that just haven’t aged well.
