Therefore, it’s only fitting that kids who happen to undergo another childhood rite of passage while at the park can celebrate in a special Disney way!

During D23, Disney confirmed the name of the new land, gave us a first glimpse at its design, shared details about a Maleficent Roller Coaster, and — the part we can’t stop thinking about — announced a brand-new Mirror Realm Dark Ride. We’re diving into everything Disney has revealed so far, including the concept art, and comparing it to a ride many of you may already know from overseas.
Get your calendars because there’s a rare parade coming to Magic Kingdom in October!

Diwali Dance Fest is coming to Disney World once again. Only, instead of being at Disney Springs, it will be at Magic Kingdom and other parks! This rare entertainment will be at the park for only a limited time, so let’s take a look at the dates and details.

From Avengers Campus in Hong Kong Disneyland and a Spider-Man-themed land in Shanghai Disneyland to Monstropolis, Villains Land, and Piston Peak in Disney World, it can be hard to keep up with all of the announcements.

Halloween season has officially arrived in Disney World, and we are SO feeling the spooky season vibes. We’ve been drinking our pumpkin spice lattes, checking out some Halloween food, admiring all the fun fall and Halloween decor in Magic Kingdom, and going to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

Well, speaking of the party, we kinda’ have something we need to warn you about, especially if you plan on Mobile Ordering any food during the event.
Well, we haven’t really been thinking as MUCH about food these past few weeks because our minds are still reeling from all the big announcements Disney just dropped for Disney World (but we are excited about all the park expansions that will be bringing new FOOD and restaurants to Disney World!). That will be changing very soon, though, because the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival starts on August 27th.

However, that doesn’t mean that we’re not keeping an eye on what’s going on with Disney World restaurants. We’ve been looking at Disney World restaurant menus this week, and we’ve got some changes to tell you about.
After D23, news isn’t slowing down around Disney World, even though it would make our lives 10 times easier. It’s our job to keep you up to date, so that’s exactly what we’ll do!
Magic Kingdom
Currently, 18 lands, rides, restaurants, shops, and hotels are under construction at Disney World. But what’s closed this week? Let’s take a peek!
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!
Haunted Mansion
Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable, and that’s especially true during the summer season.
As much as we love eating our way around Disney World, some meals might leave you with some major lingering regrets!

There are literally HUNDREDS of restaurants around Disney World. From the world cuisines around EPCOT to super immersive character meals, there’s something for just about every taste. But beware that even some of the most popular dining experiences have had their fair share of disappointed guests!
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event gave us so much Disney news and exciting updates. Especially about the projects currently underway in Disney World.
