food IS a theme park
No Magic Kingdom day is complete without a magical viewing of the iconic fireworks show, Happily Ever After!
Magic Kingdom
However, you need to pay attention because the start time is changing again!
We’ve had an interesting week in Disney World, although granted, EVERY week is pretty interesting when you spend it at Disney World.
Sweet Potato Ice Cream Sandwich
First, we tried a sweet potato ice cream sandwich, then we watched lines get longer and longer for a NEW viral snack in Disney’s Animal Kingdom (and we get it, because that snack is AMAZING), and we found out that Refreshment Port in EPCOT is being reimagined into La Poutinerie and will now be hosted by Air Canada. A LOT going on. Well, we also saw some changes happening on Disney World restaurant menus, so we’re going to break those down for you now.
It’s been a big week in Disney World for rides, restaurants, and everything in between, and we’re here to keep you updated on it all!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom
A Magic Kingdom ride officially reopened this past week, and we got the official reopening date for another! As if that wasn’t enough, we also got a big update about a long-closed spot in EPCOT, and, while it’s not as joyous, we also know about another pool closure coming to a popular hotel. Sounds like a lot? Don’t worry, we’ll keep it simple — here are all the closures you need to know about this upcoming week, along with all the most recent updates we have for each one!
With summer just around the corner, is it really the time to be going to Disney World?
Magic Kingdom
If you have a trip to Disney World planned this summer, there’s a chance you might see it emptier than usual. Between Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom, a lot is going on at the parks this year. Even though summer is vacation time for lots of people, it might not be spent at the Most Magical Place on Earth. The question is, why?
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!
EPCOT
Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable. Sure, we can look at past data to get an estimate of the crowd levels in Disney World, but you never know what may happen from year to year.
We made our park reservations for Magic Kingdom on May 3rd, and you might want to do the same!
Magic Kingdom
Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin just reopened recently, and now we’re getting ready for another BIG reopening after a very…VERY long refurbishment. Magic Kingdom is going to be looking like itself again once May 3rd hits, and we seriously can’t wait!
Can you hear us hooting and hollaring? Because we are shouting from the rooftops about the fact that Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is finally reopening!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
After over a YEAR of waiting, the popular coaster is finally reopening in Magic Kingdom! Big openings like this one bring about excitement, crowds, and (without a doubt) changes. We’re breaking down some of the new rules and procedures we might see once the ride finally reopens.
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No! It’s two classic Disney characters!

If you’ve ever wanted to see Peter Pan and Wendy fly off to Neverland, it’s time you head over to the Magic Kingdom! Disney recently announced that Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away, the park’s nighttime parade, has undergone a massive change. Luckily for us, this change is a pretty exciting one!

Ahead of that reopening, Disney has shared a lot of updates and details about what will be changing on the ride, including a new track, a new scene, a new exterior, and more. Well, now, Disney is sharing a new behind-the-scenes video featuring some of the Imagineers who helped make all these new updates to the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness.
After being closed for over a year, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is finally reopening at Magic Kingdom!
