A NEW Disney blind box has officially dropped, and we’re OBSESSED!
The Mickey Mouse and Friends Disney Parks Diorama Mystery Figure Blind Box is available for $16.99 each, plus tax on The Disney Store website. Let’s take a look at all of the options you can get!
Magic Kingdom’s Carousel of Progress closed on Jul7 6th for what will be the ride’s biggest update since it opened in 1975. The new version of the ride will include a Walt Disney animatronic, as well as all new scenes, meaning that most of the classic ride is set to change.
Disney is currently hard at work on making those updates, and we just got a sign that things are going forward as expected because Disney just filed a new permit for the ride.
It’s FINALLY here — D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event has officially kicked off, and we’ve already got some new details and concepts about the new lands coming to Disney World!
Specifically, we have A LOT of new concepts surrounding Piston Peak, the Cars-themed land coming to Magic Kingdom. Disney revealed new concept art and models for one of the attractions in this land, so let’s break it down!
Disney gave us a sneak peek at the new Piston Peak land coming to Magic Kingdom last night when we got a first look at the Imagineering: Horizons exhibit at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, and it answered a lot of questions.
One of the biggest questions we’ve had for a while is just how well the new land is going to fit in with the existing fixtures of Frontierland, and this massive model we just got to see has certainly answered that question. Let’s dive into the specifics and really see what we’ll be working with!
We got some MAJOR NEWS during D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in 2026 about a NEW land coming to Disney World!
We were invited by Disney to attend a media preview before the D23 fan expo officially kicked off on August 14th in Anaheim, California, and then attended the expo throughout the weekend — wow — do we have a lot to share with you! We got some exciting updates to share about Villains Land in Magic Kingdom that you cannot miss, especially if you’re as excited about this new land as we are!
We attended and shared TONS of big news from D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in 2026, including more details about all the new stuff coming to Disney World and Disneyland.
We were invited by Disney to attend a media preview the day before the convention officially kicked off (it ran from August 14th through the 16th at the Anaheim Convention Center in California and the nearby Honda Center), and we got a sneak peek of a TON of different new things coming to the streaming platforms, movie theaters, and the Disney Parks. In fact, Disney gave us NEW looks at the new Cars expansion — Piston Peak — that’s currently being built in Magic Kingdom, and we’re sharing all those new details with you!
We’re FINALLY here at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, and we couldn’t be more stoked.
This year’s event takes place in Anaheim, California, from August 14th-16th, and since it’s the biggest event of the year, you can bet there’s news coming out every which way. We’re here LIVE to bring you all the latest news from the panels, exhibits, merchandise tables, and everything in between. It’s a lot to cover, but right now we’ve gotta direct your attention to what we just got to see at the sneak peek at the Imagineering: Horizons pavilion, because it involves the retheme of Carousel of Progress!
If you’ve ever ordered your favorite Starbucks drink in Disney World only to look at your receipt and go, “It’s only that much?!” You’re not alone! I’m a former Disney World Starbucks barista, and a customer would say that every hour, without fail.
It’s a not-so-hidden secret that Starbucks drinks are cheaper inside Disney World than at your local Starbucks. But why does it cost less?
Disney World has already asked us to eat dinner inside a castle, board an elevator to a restaurant in space, and consume burgers while sitting in a fake convertible beneath a fake night sky. So I don’t think I’m being unreasonable when I ask Disney to let me eat breakfast with a tow truck.
Piston Peak National Park is currently under construction in Magic Kingdom, and the new Cars-themed area is shaping up to be one of the park’s most ambitious additions. Disney has shared concept art filled with towering mountains, rushing water, pine forests, geysers, and rustic buildings tucked into the landscape. It looks beautiful. It looks enormous. It also looks like it has room for the weirdest character restaurant Disney has ever attempted. A Cars character dining experience makes absolutely no logistical sense, which is exactly why Disney needs to make it happen.
