Disney just dropped a major castle-related update, and we’re FREAKING OUT. If you were a fan of the old castle, look at the Magic Kingdom; you’re going to want to book a visit soon.
A new snack is coming to Disneyland, and we CAN’T WAIT to try it! Brace yourselves — we have a fun announcement to share. Love savory snacks? Love any kind of food on a stick? Love Disney food? You’re in the right place. Glad to have you!
Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs
Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs can be found at BOTH the Disney World and Disneyland Resorts, and we couldn’t be happier because these treats almost ALWAYS deliver. While the Disney World location is still fairly new, the spot in Downtown Disney at the Disneyland Resort has been a staple for many years. Blue Ribbon offers many variations of the classic corn dog, including a special limited-time corn dog that you can grab VERY SOON!
A brand-new Ursula Doll will be debuting this September!

We are currently at the Destination D23 Expo, the biggest Disney fan event of the year. We have gotten a sneak peek at 15 exclusive holiday treats, got a first look at Disney’s Napa Rose Restaurant transformation, learned about changes coming to Carousel of Progress, and more. As part of the “Disney Villains: Icons of Evil” panel, we got a first look at a NEW Ursula Doll that will be available soon!
Changes are coming for Disney World soon, and I AM NOT READY.
Cinderella Castle
New attractions, new lands, and construction everywhere? That’s Disney World for you in 2026, and if you’re coming for a visit, you need to be warned. We go to the parks every day, and we’re not prepared mentally yet for some of these changes!
Haunted Mansion Holiday is a popular overlay that takes place at the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland Park. Each year, the attraction is transformed with a Nightmare Before Christmas overlay for the Halloween and Christmas seasons.
Haunted Mansion Holiday
We always love seeing this overlay! In addition to themed decorations, pastry chefs also construct a themed gingerbread house to be displayed in the attraction. This year’s gingerbread house looks amazing, and we just got a behind-the-scenes look at the construction process.
Disneyland history is one of those things that we could learn about forever and ever because there are so many stories about Disneyland’s development and early days that we still haven’t completely heard.

Sure, we know about how Walt dreamed up Disneyland when he was watching his children ride a carousel. We’ve also paid tribute to his apartment that still sits above the Main Street Fire Station on Main Street, U.S.A. (and where a light is always kept on for him). We’ve watched ALL the documentaries on Disney+, including The Imagineering Story. Well, the woman behind The Imagineering Story is giving us a brand-new Disneyland documentary, Disneyland Handcrafted.
Disney villains are taking over Hong Kong Disneyland!
Welcome to Hong Kong Disneyland!
Disney just announced that the villains are headed to Hong Kong Disneyland Resort for its 20th Anniversary, and they are celebrating in villainous style. “Uninvited! A Villains Takeover Party” is coming to Hong Kong Disneyland, and we can’t wait!
We’re at Destination D23, and we’re getting lots of news about the future of Disney, as well as some updates to the parks!
Carousel of Progress
During a panel, Disney made the announcement that changes are coming to a fan-favorite attraction in Magic Kingdom. After three decades, Carousel of Progress is getting an update!
The 2025 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival started on August 28th and is running now through November 22nd.
Beautiful!
But even as we’ve spent the entire day bringing you full reviews of ALL of the Festival’s Global Marketplace Food Booths, checked out the scene at this year’s Eat to the Beat Concert Series, and checked out all the new merchandise, but the day isn’t over yet. It’s time to cap off this day with a special show that takes place nightly at Spaceship Earth throughout the Festival!
There are several important people who help lead The Walt Disney Company, each with their own distinct jobs.
