food IS a theme park
Disney World is going through some serious changes right now, especially at Hollywood Studios!

New lands, rides, and experiences are hitting this park — and some of them will be here before we know it. Whether you’re a Muppets fan, Star Wars fan, or anything in between, you definitely don’t want to miss what’s coming. Disney is set to make HUGE changes at Hollywood Studios this summer, and we’re telling you everything you need to know!
Okay friends, it’s time to talk about the attraction that has been living rent-free in our heads ever since Disney dropped the announcement back in November 2024 — and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is speeding into Disney’s Hollywood Studios in summer 2026, and we are barely holding it together over here. Disney just revealed the first song announced for this new ride (and we got to hear it!), but the full track list is dropping on April 16th. Ahead of the release, though, Disney dropped a new teaser image — and we can’t help but feel like there are a TON of clues hiding in it!
Attention, Disney friends! Sure, we love staying at Disney World hotels for all the amenities, easy access to the parks, and a whole lot more, but every once in a while, an unexpected issue can pop up that you’re not prepared for.
Wilderness Lodge Hotel
Luckily, that’s what we’re here for, though! We keep an eye out for everything you might need to know about on your upcoming Disney World trips, and THIS is exactly why we always tell you to pay attention to any signage in your hotel lobby when you’re there!
Have you ever heard of the Chase Disney Visa? It’s a special Disney credit card that comes with different perks, including discounts, special theme park opportunities, and more.
The Disney Visa
If you’re familiar with the credit card or you even have your own, you should know about this new deal that won’t last for long! If you’ve been eyeing a new piece of Disney merchandise or two, you don’t need to pass up this deal.
We LOVE a good Disney World food hack, and we like to think we’re the experts when it comes to finding ways to make dining on your trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth just a little bit easier.
The Patriot’s Platter
While Magic Kingdom restaurants aren’t always our favorite, there’s one that’s often a crowd pleaser for many — and because of that, it can sometimes be hard to snag a reservation. BUT! There’s actually a different Magic Kingdom restaurant that’s easier to get into, and it features the SAME exact menu. Soon enough, though, this Magic Kingdom restaurant hack is disappearing!
It feels like Disney World is a never-ending construction site right now!
Wilderness Lodge in Disney World
The parks are undergoing some major renovations, including the addition of a new Cars land called Piston Peak, a Villains Land, and a Monsters Inc. Land! While these changes are pretty exciting, it does mean that the resort is in a bit of an “in-between” period. Not even the hotels are going unscathed! Over at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, a temporary closure has officially begun.
I don’t know about you, but any day I resist buying a new Disney Loungefly backpack is a good day. There are just SO many incredible designs featuring iconic franchises and characters that it can be hard not to want to buy every single one.

Well, friends, if you’re anything like me, you might want to hide (or maybe grab!) your wallets because a brand-new Disney Loungefly backpack just dropped online, and it features some iconic characters that will make you want to scream. That’s right, a new Monsters University Loungefly just arrived, and we are obsessed.
Well, it’s officially happening. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith has officially closed in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and is getting completely reimagined as Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets.

Well, with this actually still BEING Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, the ride still needs some sweet tunes, and well, it’s not like the Muppets don’t have a pretty SWEET band called Electric Mayhem, right? Well, we recently attended an event where we got to hear one of Electric Mayhem’s songs that was created JUST for the ride…yep, we got to hear one of the ride’s new songs FIRST.
It has been a whirlwind few months for Disneyland Paris with the official opening of the NEW Disney Adventure World. This newly renamed park (formerly known as Walt Disney Studios Park) recently underwent a massive expansion and retheming to include lands like the new World of Frozen and Adventure Way.

We were lucky enough to visit Disney Adventure World and had a great time exploring all the new rides, restaurants, shops, and more, but there are still some parts of this expansion that have not opened yet, including a new Up-themed ride. Disney has just announced the name and opening timeline for this ride — get ready for Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings coming in 2027!
In case you missed it, a beloved ride is finally reopening in Magic Kingdom!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
In less than a month, you’ll be able to hop back onto the wildest ride in the wilderness, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad! The famous coaster has been closed for over a year, and this reopening marks a few changes for the ride. If you’re curious about skipping that inevitably long line, Disney has confirmed where the ride will fall on the Lightning Lane tier list!
