food IS a theme park
The Corkcicle brand is super popular among Disney fans.
Corkcicles
Maybe that’s because we can get drinkware inspired by a lot of our favorite Disney characters and even our favorite EPCOT festivals. They’re so popular that there’s even a Corkcicle kiosk at Disney Springs now. We know how much y’all love these tumblers and water bottles, so that’s why we have to tell you about a NEW Corkcicle collection.
Once more, we are asking ourselves, “What is going on with you, EPCOT?”
This is gone now, but…
It wasn’t that long ago that EPCOT got rid of those controversial barges and large screen/Stargate thing in the World Showcase Lagoon that was used during the nighttime show Harmonious. Finally, World Showcase was free from what many of us felt were major eyesores. However, that didn’t last long because there are some NEW additions to World Showcase Lagoon, and well, we have some questions.
We are so thrilled that a third installment of the Hocus Pocus franchise has been confirmed!

A director was recently announced for the third film, and we know an original actor from the franchise is more than willing to return for the new film. Disney isn’t wasting any time with new merchandise either, and you HAVE to see the new LEGO set that was recently released.
There’s a BIG holiday coming up in Disney World this week.
Magic Kingdom Train Station
Yep, we’re talking about the Fourth of July, which will bring some new excitement to Disney World. There will be an addition to EPCOT Forever over in EPCOT to celebrate, and Magic Kingdom will have a SPECIAL patriotic fireworks display. There are also special snacks to check out that were made especially for the holiday. However, if you wanted to BE in Magic Kingdom for the fourth, we’ve got some bad news.
Imagine you’ve just arrived at Magic Kingdom. You’ve been planning this trip for ages, and now you’re HERE! You walk down Main Street, U.S.A., drinking in all the sights and sounds. Incredible smells are wafting out of the Confectionery. But there’s no time to stop — you head straight for your favorite ride. But what’s this? What’s happened? The ride is CLOSED?!
Main Street
Encountering unexpected ride closures can be one of the most disappointing parts of a Disney World vacation. Sometimes those closures pop up suddenly due to bad weather in the area or technical difficulties, but others are planned ahead of time, so you can prepare for them! To help you prepare, we’ve got a full list of next week’s planned ride and restaurant closures.
It’s still toward the beginning of summer, but the crowds are rolling into Disney World.

We’ve seen wait times continue to climb and climb and 4th of July is right around the corner. However, we actually have some GOOD news to bring you about the long wait times — some major Hollywood Studios lines are getting shorter!
Bring your appetite, your whip, and your best fedora because we’re going to the Disney parks to try some NEW Indiana Jones-inspired treats! Who’s ready for a dessert-filled adventure? That’s the BEST kind of adventure, right?
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
Recently, Disney shared a whole LIST of new snacks coming to both Disney World AND Disneyland Resort. Now, we can’t wait a moment longer — let’s go try some treats!
Things are getting spruced up all over Disney World.
Disney Springs
Magic Kingdom’s Splash Mountain is being transformed into a NEW attraction, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, a new Moana-themed attraction is coming to EPCOT soon, and a new bakery/restaurant is coming to Disney’s BoardWalk. However, some changes are happening over in Disney Springs, too, and we spotted a BIG change today in one store!
It’s the start of a new month, and you know what that means…it means NEW SNACKS in Disney Springs!
Gideon’s Bakehouse
Okay, so we’ve already started trying some of the new Fourth of July snacks in Disney World, but there are also some new snacks to check out in Disney Springs, thanks to the Flavors of Florida event. However, one of our FAVORITE snack spots in Disney Springs is releasing even MORE new treats this month that you’re going to WANT to try.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is opening next year in Disney World and Disneyland, and we’ve gotten some pretty major updates on the attraction recently!
