It’s almost here…the Fourth of July weekend in Disney World, and it’s going to be a HUGE celebration. First, you’ll be able to ride Soarin’ Across America in EPCOT, a special version of the ride that celebrates all things U.S.A., as well as America’s 250th anniversary. You’ll also be able to see characters dressed up in patriotic gear at the American Adventure Pavilion in EPCOT. PLUS, there will be a special Fourth of July fireworks show on July 3rd, 4th, and 5th at both EPCOT and Magic Kingdom.

Of course, we have to mention all the Fourth of July snacks, too, but something ELSE super special is coming to Disney World. So if you’re in Disney World for the Fourth of July, we’re going to tell you to look up because a special show will be happening in the skies over the resort.
A popular Disney World restaurant is closing in a couple of months!
EPCOT
It’s been a year of openings and closures at Disney World, and now a popular restaurant in EPCOT is about to get added to the list. If you’ve got a Disney World trip planned for after the summer, you’re going to want to hear about this!
It’s not uncommon to have ride closures in Disney World, but sometimes, we see rides close for rather uncommon reasons.
“it’s a small world”
We’ve seen shutdowns in the past due to wildlife invasions or flooding ride vehicles, but this week, it seems that “it’s a small world” in Magic Kingdom had to close due to a fire.
I have a confession to make — I did not practice what I preached to all of you when it comes to my own Disney World vacation.
Disney’s Saratoga Springs
I have been going to Disney World since 1993, and my parents were hardcore Disney people. I’m talking rope drop to close with no breaks. So naturally, when I started planning my own trips, I built in no breaks—that is, until this last trip, when I learned my lesson. This is my official plea to my fellow Disney adults to learn from me, and I promise you’ll thank me after your next Disney World vacation.
Since Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened at both Disneyland and Disney World in 2019, several elements of the highly praised – – and in some circumstances, highly controversial – – land have become prominent talking points. Rise of the Resistance, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, characters, droids, Lightsabers, elements that were supposedly cut in development… and milk.
Pink Milk
One of the most talked about offerings in Galaxy’s Edge has been the milk, which is based on the blue milk famously featured in 1977’s Star Wars (later subtitled Episode IV: A New Hope). However, the theme park lands offer more than one color, and some of them are better than others.
Disney World’s dining scene is about to get a serious upgrade.
Six Ravens

Something new (well, returning but different?) is here at EPCOT, and we’re taking you along with us.
La Poutinerie
Refreshment Port was turned into La Poutinerie and is officially open to the public to serve all of your poutine needs. While the Refreshment Port also served poutine, the stand was given a refresh and now has Air Canada as the sponsor, so let’s check it out.
One thing you gotta’ love about visiting Disney World is that you’ll never have to hunt too far to find a bathroom. Bathrooms are EVERYWHERE throughout the parks, so when you need one, you can find it easily enough (and they’re also visible on the My Disney Experience app).
Rapunzel’s Tower in Magic Kingdom
So after all these years of visiting Disney World, we pretty much have some favorite bathrooms in the parks, and one of our favorites might be the Tangled bathrooms in Magic Kingdom. Well, these beautiful bathrooms have now reopened.
