April 2nd is the day that tickets to D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event go on sale!
Refurbishments are a fact of life in Walt Disney World. Rides, shows, and attractions are often closed for refreshes, repairs, and technological upgrades, some for longer times than others. In fact, it’s rare to have a day when EVERY attraction at the resort is operational. That’s even true in the busy summer season.
The summer of 2026 will not only see a slew of construction across Walt Disney World’s theme parks, but there will be some smaller-scale closures that guests making a trip from June through August should be aware of.
Disneyland is keeping fans in the dark about a looming ride closure.
It’s a great time to visit the Disneyland Resort, thanks in part to the incredibly fun 70th Anniversary celebrations! While expansion projects are underway and there is a bit of construction, most of the offerings are still up and running. I say “most” because a popular ride in Mickey’s Toontown is about to temporarily close TOMORROW, and we have no idea when it’s going to reopen.
For the first time in what feels like forever, Disney didn’t have any major closures or massive changes happen in the past week, and there aren’t a number of them lined up for this week either!
Now, three out of the four parks are still majorly under construction, meaning there are walls practically everywhere, and this week, one store is closing in Disney Springs, but it feels like we’re officially towards reopenings versus closures, which is a HUGE achievement.
Look, not every EPCOT restaurant reservation is a crown jewel. Some are total slam dunks. Some are hidden gems. And some? Some are the dining equivalent of a really pretty ex. Gorgeous on paper, wildly tempting in the moment, and then you’re sitting there later wondering why you ignored every red flag your group chat tried to warn you about.
Because here’s the thing: Disney pros do not book restaurants the same way first-timers do. The experts are thinking about value, convenience, atmosphere, how much effort it takes to pull the meal off, and whether the food actually lives up to the hype. We’re not just booking based on vibes and a pretty sign in World Showcase. We’re booking strategically. Like hungry little chess masters in Minnie ears.
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!
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.
Disney is expanding its parks at a rapid pace, and the next chapter is about to arrive in France!
Disneyland Paris is the Disney Resort of the hour, as its Walt Disney Studios Park OFFICIALLY rebrands to Disney Adventure World TOMORROW, March 29th, 2026! We were recently invited to check out all the changes at the park and got a great look at the NEW World of Frozen expansion, which also opens tomorrow alongside some other bold offerings. From new rides to restaurants to a boatload of incredible souvenirs, there are tons of reasons to drop by this Parisian park as soon as possible!
We’ve got very exciting news out of Disney’s Animal Kingdom! With so much construction happening around the park, any bit of news that means those projects are moving along is a fist-pump moment in our eyes.
We know we’ve got a long way to go still until the new Casita ride, inspired by Encanto, opens in Pueblo Esperanza, but we’re enjoying seeing what’s going on behind the walls, thanks to the aerial views from @bioreconstruct. Now, though, we’ve got another piece of evidence that shows us construction is continuing to move along — a new permit has been filed!
This Magic Kingdom change will affect your next Disney World trip!
Beginning April 6th, two of the shows at Magic Kingdom will change time slots!
Let’s be honest: if you want to visit Disney World or Disneyland, it’s going to cost you. A Disney vacation is NOT cheap.
Now, we’ve seen a lot of Disney fans grumbling recently about the price of visiting the U.S. parks, particularly about how pricey tickets seem to be getting. Even former Disney CEO Michael Eisner has recently spoken about how expensive Disney Parks are. Now, it has seemed like Disney has responded with a lot of great summer offers for both tickets and hotel stays, but what exactly does Disney’s new CEO, Josh D’Amaro, have to say about ticket prices?
