food IS a theme park
If you’re craving a caffeine fix at Downtown Disney at Disneyland today, you’ll have to go somewhere other than Starbucks to get it.
Starbucks at Downtown Disney
The Starbucks location at Downtown Disney Anaheim is unexpectedly closed.
Today is a big day over in EPCOT, because one of the park’s most popular rides is CLOSED as of today for a big change to take place.
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in the France Pavilion
Disney announced back in October that Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure would be closing for a short period of time this month, from November 10th to 13th, for some big updates to the ride. This means that there will be one less ride available during your EPCOT trip for the next few days, and once it opens back up, it’ll look pretty different.
Grab your calendars — another Disney World restaurant will start taking reservations soon!
Wailulu Bar & Grill
Wailulu Bar & Grill is the newest restaurant to open at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, located at the new Island Tower. This isn’t your typical pool bar — it features an all-day menu for lunch and dinner, plus specialty coffee and on-the-go morning pastries available for breakfast. Up until now, this restaurant has been first-come, first-served, but that’s all changing in December.
If you’re heading to EPCOT this week, you’ll notice a big change on one of the park’s most popular attractions.
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
Disney has confirmed that Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is closed starting today, November 10th, through November 13th for a quick refurbishment, and yes, that means it’s also temporarily gone from the Lightning Lane lineup. The ride will reopen on November 14th with a major update to its experience. Here’s what’s going on, why the closure is happening now, and how it’ll impact your EPCOT plans over the next few days.
Another week has passed in Disney World, and it’s been a fun one. The new Zootopia show opened in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and we got to meet Nick and Judy right after we caught the show for the first time.
Clawhauser’s Donut Macaron
The holiday season has also officially kicked off, and we’ve been to the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party of the season (and we ate a TON of exclusive party snacks). In the meantime, Disney World restaurants were busy changing their menus, so let’s take a look at the updates!
Okay, so there’s a bar in Disney World that’s pretty popular with a lot of celebrities. That bar is La Cava del Tequila at the Mexico Pavilion in EPCOT. For example, Neil Patrick Harris frequents this bar so much that he has his own drink AND table.

We’ve also seen the stars of Breaking Bad at La Cava. Model Lily Aldridge designed her own drink for the bar. Well, now, La Cava del Tequila is teasing something with ANOTHER celebrity, and we have no idea what it means (but whatever it is, we’re buying).
Disney trips are full of magic, fun, and… a surprising lack of outlets and sleep-friendly quiet.
MultiCharger for MagicBand+
Whether you’re staying at a Value Resort, a Deluxe Villa, or somewhere in between, there are a few hotel essentials we truly wish we had bought sooner. These items made our stay more comfortable, more organized, and honestly, a lot less chaotic.
Disneyland is full of holiday traditions, but one of those traditions is more popular than pretty much anything else. That tradition is the Disneyland candy canes, which are these MASSIVELY huge candy canes that are made ON SITE.
Disneyland Candy cane!
But getting your hands on a Disneyland candy cane isn’t a matter of just going into one of the candy shops and buying it. Nope, you need to know when, where, and HOW to get your hands on one of these babies. Well, we’ve got ALL the details about getting a candy cane this year, so keep reading for all the important details.
If you fired up Disney+ this weekend, maybe to watch your favorite Disney movie, Star Wars show, or perhaps to catch up on Only Murders In The Building on Hulu, you might have noticed that something BIG has changed.

The Disney+ app has changed! Ahead of Disney+ absorbing Hulu, we guess Disney decided some app updates were in order. So don’t be surprised if your Disney+ looks a little different. Let’s talk about these updates, though.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is getting a brand new land, and as a result, we’ve seen the phased closure of DinoLand U.S.A., with the entire land set to close in February 2026. Looking forward, though, we can’t wait to see Pueblo Esperanza (that’s the new land), as well as ride its attractions.

Well, one of those attractions will be an Encanto-themed ride (and unlike Bruno, we are going to SO talk about it). Now, we’ve seen a model of the ride, as well as concept art, but now we have a full aerial view of the ride’s construction…and y’all, it is HUGE.
