Although we were very sad to say goodbye to Muppets Courtyard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios when we closed, we are legitimately excited about what’s taking its place: Monstropolis. For the first time ever, Disney is bringing Monsters, Inc. to life through a new land in a theme park, and we can’t wait to see what the new land has in store.

Of course, you know us — we’re even MORE excited about eating in the new land, and couldn’t be more thrilled that Disney decided to bring Harryhausen’s from the Monsters, Inc. movie to life, complete with the monster sushi chef from that film. Well, we just got a close look at the animatronic sushi chef you’ll see in the restaurant, and let’s just say our minds are BLOWN.
Disney’s BoardWalk is one of our favorite resorts to visit at Disney World. From the food to the shopping to the vibes, we find ourselves here time and time again, although things haven’t felt quite the same since Jellyrolls closed.
Hurly-Burly
It’s been over a year since the duelling piano bar closed at Boardwalk, and as much as we love the resort, we felt like it needed something for nightlife. Well, the Boardwalk is undergoing a massive change, adding new shopping, dining, and entertainment locations! One thing we’re specifically excited about is the new lounge, Hurly-Burly. However, did you notice the small detail Disney mentioned about it?

After transforming into Jessie’s Roundup during Cool KIDS’ Summer, The Diamond Horseshoe at Magic Kingdom is undergoing another transformation!
The Diamond Horseshoe is closed!
The popular Magic Kingdom restaurant is changing up once again, as it will soon become a pop-up restaurant with a brand-new menu. We’re going to be able to make reservations soon, and although we’ve been getting lots of news on the restaurant, we were not expecting to hear this!
One of our favorite spots in Disney World is celebrating its 17th Anniversary, and it CANNOT be missed!
La Cava del Tequila
La Cava del Tequila is a fantastic spot over in EPCOT‘s Mexico Pavilion. It’s home to great drinks, and is easily one of the best hidden gems in the whole park. You’ve only got a few days to be able to snag this special drink to celebrate, so don’t wait!
If you’ve got a Disney World trip coming up, you’ll want to be aware of a refurbishment that just hit a popular resort!
Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort
There has been a ton, and we mean a TON, of construction taking place at Disney World in 2026. From hotel refurbishments to ride changes to expansions, Disney World has been in a constant state of change lately. Now, a NEW refurb has hit Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort.
The EPCOT area hotels are some of our favorites to stay at. You’re right near tons of dining options at the other hotels just a few minutes away, you’re steps away from EPCOT, as well as only a few moments away from getting on the Skyliner or a FriendShip boat and getting to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Beach Club Resort
However, if you’re staying here this week, there’s something you need to know about that may affect your nighttime routine — especially if you’ve got littles. There’s fireworks testing happening tonight, and we’ve got all the information you need to know.
