food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios!
Once Upon a Time
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise, food, entertainment, and construction updates, so let’s dive right on in!
If you’re looking to go to Walt Disney World, you’ll need a valid ticket and a Park Pass reservation for the park you’d like to visit each day.
Magic Kingdom
For those visiting Disney World on Labor Day weekend, Park Pass availability has been changing a LOT lately. Now, we’ve got another update!
You’ve heard the big news about Splash Mountain, right? Earlier this year, it was announced that this iconic attraction would be undergoing a retheme into a Princess and the Frog-inspired attraction.

Disney has been gearing up for this change already with restocks of the suddenly-high-demand Splash Mountain merch and the removal of “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” from the background music in Disneyland. Now, it looks like Disney might have taken one more step towards the closure of the current version of Splash Mountain.
We’re pretty sure there can never be too many Marvel movies in the world.

If you agree with us, then we’ve got some pretty exciting news. We’ve got lots of Marvel films to look forward to, and now there are even MORE down the line! Disney recently shared their 2023 film release schedule — with FOUR Marvel films AND a Star Wars film on the docket — and the films’ dates haven’t been affected by this year’s delays!
Following Walt Disney World’s lengthy closure due to the global health crisis, Disney Springs, Disney World’s shopping and dining district, started welcoming back guests in May. Many of the district’s restaurants reopened in May while others followed suit throughout the last three months.
The Newly Reopened Edison
Three more restaurants reopened, The Edison, Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante, and Enzo’s Hideaway, a couple weeks ago and we had a chance to check one out! We decided to pop into The Edison and see if anything’s changed since the closure. (Spoiler: A LOT has changed!) Step inside the steampunk speakeasy with us and see what it’s like now!
Sometimes, you just need a lil’ taste of Disneyland, even while the theme parks are still closed. Luckily, we can always head on over to Downtown Disney, the Disneyland Resort’s shopping and dining district.
Downtown Disney!
So, what’s new at Downtown Disney?!
Labor Day weekend in Walt Disney World is shaping up to be quite busy.
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
Park Pass Reservations have been filling up fast, but we recently caught an update to the Park Pass availability page, and it looks like some significant changes have been made!
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance has quickly become a fan-favorite in Walt Disney World.

It has also become one of the more difficult attractions to get onto. If you’re lucky enough to get on the ride in Disney’s Hollywood Studios sometime soon, be on the lookout for an extra special surprise.
