food IS a theme park
Howdy from Magic Kingdom!
Churro time!
Disney World decided to release three new menu items in Frontierland, so we’re donning our cowboy hats and boots to check out new chicken tenders, burgers, and CHURROS!
One of the most fun parts of visiting Disney World as an adult is the ability to “act like a kid” in certain ways, like riding attractions, meeting characters, and even eating.
Kid’s Meal
In fact, some adults will even order kid’s meals at the “Most Magical Place on Earth”, sometimes due to price, sometimes due to portion size, and sometimes because the option is just better!
A LOT is happening in Magic Kingdom, and we’re excited about the future of the park. For starters, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin recently reopened with some big upgrades in Tomorrowland, while Big Thunder Mountain Railroad did the same in Frontierland. Disney is also building a Villains land behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

Speaking of Frontierland, a big Cars-themed expansion is on the way: Piston Peak. Now, we’ve been tracking construction progress on the project, and we think we’ve seen more PROOF that the land will have some water features, meaning that a body of water will return to Magic Kingdom.
Disney’s nightly fireworks are some of the most beautiful displays you’ll ever see in your life, especially when the colors and the shapes match up to the songs they’re going off to.
Happily Ever After
But there are some “rules” that guests think they HAVE to follow when it comes to these nightly spectaculars, and we’re here to tell you to BREAK THEM! You actually might get a better experience if you do.
NEW CHURRO ALERT!
Churro time!
Sound the churro bell, everyone. Disney World just announced three new snacks coming to Magic Kingdom, and one of them is new churros, which means we can’t resist. Don’t be surprised if you see us in line in Frontierland with empty stomachs.
Magic Kingdom is getting a LOT of new stuff right now. In Tomorrowland, a new and updated version of Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin recently opened, while a newly updated Big Thunder Mountain Railroad just reopened in Frontierland. Speaking of Frontierland, it’s getting a huge Cars expansion, while a new Villains-themed land is going behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
Magic Kingdom Ferryboat
Well, Magic Kingdom is also getting some new transportation. We recently reported that a new ferry would be coming to the park, and we now have a NEW updated look at construction on that ferry. However, we’ve also got a look at a retired riverboat just chilling out, perhaps maybe because Disney has future plans for it? Let’s take a look.
If you’re planning a Disney World vacation for 2027, there are some changes you’ll want to note!
Magic Kingdom
A lot is happening at Disney World in 2027, and Magic Kingdom will be no different. With ongoing construction for Piston Peak and the new Villains land, construction walls are up, and other rides are going to be closed for refurbishment. If you’re planning to spend time at this Disney World park, you’ll want to follow these new rules.
We’re less than a month away from the start of spooky season in Disney World, and while that feels far too early for many people, we’re looking forward to seeing all the Halloween decorations again!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!
August also means the start of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, which is really what will kick off the season. This year, the exclusive, ticketed, after-hours event takes place on select nights from August 7th through October 31st, and we’re looking forward to it just as much as you are. If you’re on the fence about going, though, we get it. It’s a lot of extra money to spend, and you really only get five hours in the park. Is it worth it? Let’s break down what you can REALLY do in five hours at the party.
One thing about Disney World that can be a little annoying is that so much of the park experience is outdoors, which means you’re exposed to the elements (like random Florida rainstorms) and critters like squirrels, and even the occasional bear.
These bees aren’t so bad
But one little particular group of critters has been causing problems FOR YEARS because these critters have a serious sweet tooth. Yep, we’re talking about bees, and well, the bees are back in Disney World and causing problems with your coffee order.
Y’all. It has been a super exciting week. First, we got a NEW DOLE Whip treat, which is always a great reason to celebrate…and eat more DOLE Whip. Then we found a brand new EXCLUSIVE popcorn mix in Disney Springs (and it really surprised us!). We also ate a skillet cookie, which is just the icing on top of the week.

Now, though, we have to get serious and talk about menu changes at Disney World restaurants…just like we do every week. So let’s take a look at how Disney World restaurant menus changed THIS week.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
