food IS a theme park
No one likes long lines, especially when you’re at Disney World.
Test Track
With all of the crowds in the parks, there is already a guarantee you’ll experience a wait at some point, but it can end up being even worse when a ride isn’t working properly.
Vintage enthusiasts are probably loving all of the latest merch releases! The 100th Anniversary celebrations have included a ton of new items, and a lot of them are inspired by earlier years in Disney history.
The full line!
If you love retro fashion, there’s a new line of accessories you are going to want to snatch up before they sell out!
One of the most fun things to do at Disney is search for Hidden Mickeys.
Hidden Mickey at Riviera!
Tons of hidden Mickeys can be found in the parks, attractions, and rides and it can be addicting to try to find all of them! We found a piece of art that you can purchase to add to your home — and it’ll have you searching for Hidden Mickeys for HOURS.
We’re back in EPCOT with tons of updates!
EPCOT
Disney World changes every single day, so we do our best to keep you updated on everything going on in the parks so you’re prepared. From ride and restaurant closures to transportation issues, we cover it all. So let’s catch up on what’s happened this past week in EPCOT!
This has been a HUGE week for Disney World.
Fruits Rouge Cheesecake at Disney’s Riviera Resort
We got a ton of updates about TRON / Lightcycle Run, we got the full menu for Roundup Rodeo BBQ, the new restaurant coming to Toy Story Land, AND Splash Mountain closed forever to make way for a new attraction. We also saw some changes at Disney World restaurants, so let’s get to those!
If there’s one thing that’s for certain at Disney, it’s that things are always changing.
Cinderella Castle
That’s never been more evident than as of late — with CEO shakeups, potential battles over Disney’s board, attraction updates, and more hitting the company in the last three months alone. Park passes were also recently hit with changes in Disney World and Disneyland, and fans are hoping that could be a signal that more park pass changes are on the way. While Disney has shared that they won’t be going away anytime soon, here are two BIG ways the Disney World park pass system could change in 2023.
Disney World is changing all the time, and some of those changes mean that certain rides, attractions, and restaurants have to CLOSE for a while.
Splash Mountain is closed
Before you head out the door on your next Disney World trip, you’ll want to know what’s NOT going to be available while you’re there. Check out everything that’s going to be closed in Disney World next week here! [Read more…]
We’ve had another BIG week of Disney news!
TRON Sign
Not only did the 100th anniversary celebration kick off in Disneyland, but we got some major announcements for TRON Lightcycle / Run which is set to open on April 4th, 2023. You may think this time between the holidays and spring break/TRON’s opening is slow, but the wait times are telling us otherwise.
2023 appears to be something of a year of closures at Disney World. On January 22nd Splash Mountain ferried its last guests, and we said goodbye to Magic Kingdom nighttime spectacular Disney Enchantment, which ended on April 2nd.
Restaurant Marrakesh
Not all of the closures are permanent, though. There are a fair amount of refurbishments happening across the resort as well. However, all of these changes aren’t limited to just attractions and shows.
Will you be in Disney World next week?
Animal Kingdom
If so, you’ll be arriving at a really good time. The weather won’t be too hot (although we can’t promise it won’t get a little chilly!). You don’t have to worry about marathon weekend crowds (because that’s over — for now). Plus you’ll be able to check out the EPCOT Festival of the Arts. But BEFORE you go, you will need to know about park hours and the park pass reservation availability.
