food IS a theme park
We are LESS than a month away from the reopening of a popular EPCOT attraction!
Test Track
This ride has been closed for over a year, and we recently had the opportunity to preview the attraction before it officially reopens.
Walt Disney World is in a state of transition. New, exciting experiences are debuting, old favorites are disappearing, and construction on a new future for the resort has begun to take shape.

All of that may have you asking: “Is it smart to go to Disney World right now?”
You might have heard of how incredible EPCOT’s food options are, but now it’s time to celebrate Hollywood Studios! This park offers a variety of great quick-service and snack options, as well as full-service sit-down restaurants. With so many options, where do you start?
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We headed to BaseLine Tap House on Grand Avenue to try out a few snacks and bring you a full review. Do you need to stop by this popular restaurant, or should you skip it on your Hollywood Studios day? Let’s find out!
If you’re heading to Disney World this summer, especially if you haven’t been in a minute, there are some new “rules” you’ll need to follow!

Summer 2025 is a time of change at Disney World. Muppet*Vision 3D closed to make way for Monsters, Inc. on June 7th, and the Rivers of America will have its final day of operation on July 6th before making way for Cars. Across the resort, two other beloved attractions are in their final months of operation, while another has returned in an all-new version. On top of that, new experiences — and new rules with them — have arrived as well. With that, here are all the NEW Disney World rules for the summer of 2025.
Summer is here, and that means summer dishes are starting to pop up around Disney World.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We headed to Hollywood Studios to try a brand new menu item, and let’s just say, we think you’re going to love this lighter option!
Since its opening in 2019, Rise of the Resistance has been one of the most popular attractions at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. However, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t things fans want changed about the ride.

The massive Star Wars attraction — which combines two ride-style experiences, heavy theming, and massive environments into one of the most immersive offerings in any theme park — draws long waits, but often falls victim to technical issues and downtimes, which was a common refrain of complaint when we asked our readers what they would change about the ride.
Planning a trip to Disney World is difficult enough without worrying about which new snacks to try!
Woody’s Lunch Box
That’s why we do the worrying for you. One of our favorite places to stop for a quick bite to eat at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is Woody’s Lunch Box. This spot recently got a new treat, so we headed over to check it out!
Hollywood Studios just got a little cooler—and we mean that literally and figuratively.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Cool Kid Summer has officially landed across all four Disney World parks, and there’s a lot happening. From special entertainment and roaming characters to snacks and dancing, the energy is big this year. We took a walk through Hollywood Studios to check it all out, and let’s just say, Disney didn’t hold back. Here’s what you need to know if you’re heading that way this summer.

We recently said our goodbyes to the Muppets Courtyard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which closed to make way for a brand new Monsters, Inc. land that Disney first announced in 2024.

Now, construction walls are up around the area, and there’s even some new concept art on those walls showing an updated idea of what the new land will look like. Most importantly, a new RIDE is on the way, based on the epic doors scene in the first Monsters, Inc. film. Well, we now have an idea where that ride is going and just how big it’s going to be.
