food IS a theme park
Heads up, Disney+ Subscribers: You might want to MOVE FAST!

Disney’s streaming service offers a large selection of perks exclusively to members. While some are evergreen, others have an expiration date, and several are disappearing this month!
If you subscribe to Disney+, you already know you’re getting access to almost every Disney movie ever made, all your favorite shows, both old and new, as well as a ton of other Disney-related content. But we can’t tell you enough about the other perks you can get with a Disney+ subscription, which includes things like discounts on merchandise, discounts on Disney vacations, opportunities to win some amazing prizes, and more.

Well, a new Disney+ perk just dropped, and this one is for you PlayStation 5 gamers. You’ll want to be sure to check it out so you can upgrade Marvel’s Wolverine.
We are counting down the days until Hurly-Burly opens at Disney’s BoardWalk! This new lounge and restaurant will open on October 1st, and we can’t wait!
Hurly-Burly
Disney recently dropped the full menu for Hurly-Burly, and we’ve already got our list of everything we plan on trying (which, to no one’s surprise, is basically everything!). Luckily, our planning just got even easier because now we officially know the hours for Hurly-Burly on Disney’s BoardWalk!
Toy Story 5 was a HUGE hit in theaters, and we might even say it’s one of our absolute favorite Toy Story movies of all time. We’re also STOKED that one of the new characters in the movie, Lilypad, will be showing up soon at a ride in Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Well, if you’ve been looking for an excuse to watch Toy Story 5 again, you’re in luck…the movie is coming to Disney+ NEXT WEEK. Yep, that’s even sooner than we thought, and we are ready!
Do you hear those jazzy tunes? If not, you certainly will soon! A beloved Disney World Cast Member is returning to the parks, and we couldn’t be more excited!

Carol Stein, lovingly known as Carol the Piano Lady, has come out of retirement to join the lineup of Casey’s Corner pianists at Magic Kingdom! A 36-year cast member, Carol recently took her place behind the Casey’s Corner piano, bringing decades of musical experience and Disney storytelling to the heart of Main Street U.S.A.
I know, I know — October hasn’t even started, and yet we’re already here planning for the Christmas season at Disney World!
Spiced Pear Martini
Don’t blame us, though; we’re only following Disney’s lead. Tickets have been on sale for exclusive holiday events like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights for a while now, and these parties both offer a TON of holiday cheer, including special treats, entertainment, plus a whole lot more. If you’re looking to make your time even more special at one of these parties, reservations are now open for an exclusive dinner at Jollywood Nights!
So much new stuff is coming to Disney World that it’s been almost impossible to keep track of everything. The parks are getting new lands and big expansions, new rides are on the way, older rides are set to be updated, and y’all…it’s a LOT.

Of course, we’re most excited about new restaurants coming to Disney World, and we’re happy to report that one new restaurant just took a BIG step that brings it closer to its opening day.
Hollywood Studios has changed so much recently. Between Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run with The Mandalorian and Grogu, and an entire new land with The Walt Disney Studios, there are so many new and exciting things to do!
Toy Story Land
But even more is coming to Hollywood Studios this year, because Disney just announced a brand-new Toy Story Land upgrade: Lilypad from Toy Story 5 is moving into Andy’s backyard!
Disney World may be magical, but sometimes things happen that make it a little less than magical. For example, sometimes rides close due to weather, technical issues, or other reasons. Sometimes, fireworks get delayed or canceled.
Transportation and Ticket Center
Well, today, those people looking to go to Magic Kingdom from the Transportation and Ticket Center were met with a massive delay because the Express Monorail to the park is currently closed. And, well, that’s caused some issues getting to the park.
If you’ve ever used the Play Disney Parks app, you’ve probably had a lot of fun with it in the parks and at home. At home, the app let you play Disney trivia games, but in the parks is where it really shone. You could use it to interact with droids in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, as well as play interactive Star Wars-themed games in the land.
@Disney
The app also had a lot of interactive experiences you could play with while standing in lines for rides, as well as participate in other games throughout Disney’s parks. Well, we’ve got some bad news if you loved the Play Disney Parks app. As of September 16th, the app has been discontinued.
