food IS a theme park
One of our favorite things to look out for at Disney World is cool and exclusive merch, and sometimes that comes in the form of fun specialty cups you can snag around the parks.

Recently, an awesome new Muppets Cup dropped in Hollywood Studios, but when we went to grab one yesterday, we saw that they were gone after only ONE week. Let’s dive in! [Read more…]
Disney World park hours usually stay pretty steady, but it’s incredibly important to check them before your trip anyway, because it IS possible for park hours to change unexpectedly.

Sometimes the park hours change is due to a special party, such as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, which closes the park for non-party guests at 6 PM. If that was your day to head into the park and you didn’t check the hours first, you’ll likely find yourself disappointed that you don’t get a full day, even though you paid the same price as if you were getting one. Other times, the parks close early for no publicly stated reason, and that’s exactly why you won’t want to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios on this ONE October day.
Things are always changing in Disney World, from rides to lands to restaurants; change is pretty much the name of the game in the parks, at the hotels, and in Disney Springs.

That means you’ll also find changes happening with food and drinks in Disney World, too, because restaurants are always tweaking their menus to add and remove things or change things so that they focus on seasonal ingredients. Now, we’re going to talk about the Disney World restaurant menu changes we spotted this week. Spoiler alert: Halloween treats are starting to turn up!
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!

Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable, and that’s especially true during the summer season.
The construction and closure news isn’t slowing down around Disney World, and it’s our job to keep you updated through it all.
Vacation Fun
Disney announced pretty last-minute that two new closures are hitting Disney World, so if you’re traveling this week, it’s important to know about them. Now, there is a brand new spot in Disney Springs that just opened up, and we do have an update on two existing projects, which we’re thrilled about — we love balance!
August can be quite an interesting month in Disney World. Summer vacation has ended for many, but not all, so some families are still spending their last few weeks of freedom soaking up the Orlando summer sun.

That also means that crowds can be a bit all over the place, which is why we keep a pretty close eye on them. If you’re traveling to the parks this month and want to skip the lines using Disney’s Lightning Lane service, you’ll want to budget well in advance.

When we’re at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, there’s one place we can always count on for a fun show, no line, and ice-cold air conditioning: Vacation Fun – An Original Animated Short with Mickey & Minnie.
Mickey Shorts Theater
But Disney just put a wrench in our plans because Vacation Fun – An Original Animated Short with Mickey & Minnie is closing for the second time this year!
Could a popular ride be temporarily closing at Disney’s Hollywood Studios soon?
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We recently saw that Walt Disney World filed a construction permit for Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Hollywood Studios, and it looks like maintenance work could be coming. Let’s talk about what we know so far!
I am a proud Muppet lover, and now is my time to SHINE in Hollywood Studios.
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway
Hollywood Studios is already home to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, and even though Muppets Courtyard has been destroyed to welcome Monstropolis, Hollywood Studios still feels very Muppet-esque. Well, now it’s going to be a little bit more Muppet-y for a limited time.
