food IS a theme park
Summer is always extremely hot in Disney World, but there are certain times when it’s hotter than normal, and you need to be REALLY careful.

If you’re heading to Disney World this weekend you’ll need to upgrade your staying cool tactics because it’s about to be EXTRA hot. Grab those cooling towels, mini fans, and big hats — here’s what you’ve got to watch out for.
The 2025 installment of EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival is right around the corner, and this is EVERYTHING we know so far.

In addition, I’m also including a few evergreen tips for maximizing your experience at the festival that I’ve picked up over several years of covering the annual extravaganza.
Plaza de la Familia is returning to Disney California Adventure this year!
Plaza de la Familia 2025
From August 22 through November 2, 2025, join in on the Spirit of Día de los Muertos with this festive celebration full of entertainment, characters, and of course — food! Disney just dropped the full list of food and drinks we can expect at this year’s event, so let’s check it out!
We’re not going to lie: Disneyland has some of our favorite Disney food ANYWHERE. And we’re not just talking about the churros, Mickey-shaped beignets, corn dogs, and cheesy garlic pretzel bread (we could go on and on about our favorite Disneyland snacks).
Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill spread
Disneyland also has some solid quick service restaurants, too, where you can get a good meal quickly. So we’re heading over to Disney California Adventure to visit Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill to try out some eats, and we’re bringing you along with us. [Read more…]
It might still be summertime, but we’re gearing up for the Halloween season, and of course, that means a trip to Disneyland Resort to visit Oogie Boogie Bash!

The popular event is returning for 2025, and Disney has shared details on what sort of frightful fun we can expect at this year’s party. Mark your calendars for select nights from August 17th to October 31st, because a NEW Villain has joined the character lineup!
Disney World is full of surprises — but some are better when they stay quiet.
American Adventure
One of the most unexpected and magical moments can happen right in the middle of EPCOT, at the American Adventure Pavilion. If you’re lucky, you might stumble upon something truly special — but there’s one thing you absolutely need to know if it happens. This isn’t in the guidebooks, and it’s not on the app… but it could be the highlight of your day if you play it right.
Spooky season is almost here, and along with it is a slew of new novelties at Disneyland!

Over the half-decade I’ve spent covering the Disney Parks, I’ve seen countless specialty holiday items introduced over the years. This year’s collection features popcorn buckets, sippers, tumblers, and everything else you’d expect from the “Happiest Place on Earth.” Let’s dive in!
Disney has been announcing new lands, attractions, and entertainment headed to the theme parks, and we can’t WAIT.
Magic Kingdom
Keeping up with the latest construction permits Disney World files can be a great way to find out just what is going on around the parks and hotels. Recently, Tom Sawyer Island permanently closed to make way for the NEW Piston Peak National Park — a Cars-themed land coming to Magic Kingdom. And now, a new permit has been filed for this transformation!
Disney World is bringing back a few beloved holiday events this year — but the resort is also making it harder to attend.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and Disney Jollywood Nights are all returning in 2025, and we’re super excited to experience everything these events have to offer! However, something we’re not excited about is the price increase for all three events.
Magic Kingdom is supposed to be the most magical place on Earth… but right now, it’s got some not-so-magical issues.
Lots of changes!
There are some closures and changes happening that could seriously impact your trip — especially if you’re visiting with little ones or you’ve got your heart set on certain rides. A few iconic attractions are shutting down for years, and some are gone for good. So if you’re heading to Magic Kingdom soon, here are the biggest problems you’ll want to know about ahead of time.
