food IS a theme park
All the Disney Parks news from the week is coming up right now.
Fantasmic! returns!
Fantasmic! returns to Disneyland, a Magic Kingdom special event has SOLD OUT, and we may have an opening date for a popular Hollywood Studios ride.
If you plan on visiting Magic Kingdom this weekend and beyond, we have an important update to share!
Festival of Fantasy Parade
If you’re a fan of Magic Kingdom’s Festival of Fantasy Parade, REJOICE! We previously reported that the parade will once again be performed TWICE each day, and now the day that change becomes official is nearly here! [Read more…]
Disney is out to show how they go “beyond” storytelling.
Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey
Disney has built an empire that has lasted over a century by combining their storytelling acumen with everything from licensed merchandise to theme parks, to “make dreams a reality for people around the world each day, building enduring franchises that stand the test of time.” Disney executives have used the phrase “beyond storytelling” to describe what the company plans to do next, but what does that really MEAN?
There are few things more magical than seeing a parade on Main Street U.S.A.

Whether it’s a holiday parade at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, or you’re watching a daytime Rainy Day Parade or, one of our favorites, Festival of Fantasy, it’s a beautiful moment. If you’re heading to Disney World soon and plan on catching this parade in Magic Kingdom, you need to know that its showtimes are changing!
Pixar Fest is in full swing in Disneyland, and we couldn’t be happier!
Pixar Fest is here!
While there are tons of exciting offerings to explore in the parks, Pixar Place Hotel is also joining in on the fun! We got news on the new concierge lounge opening later this year, but if you’re a big fan of Pixar films, there’s something ELSE going on this summer you won’t want to miss!
It’s almost here! Can you believe that it’s almost the start of Halloween in Disney World?
It’s really not so scary!
Some people might think starting Halloween in August is a little too early, but you’re not one of them (neither are we)! We’re already feeling the spooky vibes and can’t wait for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom! This special event requires a separate ticket for entry, and this year, it takes place on select nights from August 9th through October 31st. But, we wanted to talk about which are the two BEST party dates! Let’s go!
Who doesn’t love a TV show filmed at a Disney theme park?
Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom
Television has been synonymous with Disney theme parks since BEFORE the first one even opened. Literally, the Disneyland television series debuted a year before the park, and the opening day live telecast was one of the highest viewed programs EVER at the time of its airing. Given that, it’s perhaps no surprise that MANY television shows have filmed at Disneyland and Walt Disney World over the years, with some producing more memorable episodes than others.
It can be SO hard to choose what shows to watch these days!
