One of our favorite holidays has officially taken over Disney World — Halloween! And with it comes a TON of new eats, drinks, merchandise, entertainment, and more at Magic Kingdom.
Time to eat!
There are over 50 spooky snacks at this year’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, most of which are exclusive and only available during the party. However, a handful of these treats are available during the day without a separate party ticket. Come with us to the Plaza Restaurant to try some new, spooky eats and drinks!

The Tropical Americas land is replacing what used to be DinoLand, U.S.A. in Animal Kingdom, and it’s set to open in 2027. We’ve been watching the construction site closely for updates on the new attractions and offerings, and now we’ve got some tidbits to share!

In Disney World, we’ve already seen several rides get huge updates, while new lands are being built in three of its new parks, along with an expansion in Magic Kingdom and a reimagined area in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Disneyland is getting a big expansion to Avengers Campus, as well as a new ride and land. Disney Cruise Line keeps announcing new ships, including the upcoming Disney Believe, which will start sailing in 2027. Well, now Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro has commented on how the expansion plans are going.
When we’re at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, there’s one place we can always count on for a fun show, no line, and ice-cold air conditioning: Vacation Fun – An Original Animated Short with Mickey & Minnie.

The new union calls itself “Magic Unlimited” and represents entertainment cast members, including theatrical performers, parade performers, and character performers, as well as hosts, leads, and trainers that support Disney’s entertainment cast. Now, according to The Los Angeles Times, those Cast Members are facing a new proposal from Disneyland that takes away a paid parental leave benefit and offers fewer holidays.
Disney has some major announcements up their sleeve that they’re saving for D23: the Ultimate Disney Fan Event, a yearly expo where they release some major news about the Disney theme parks.
