Disney dropped new concept art and details for the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster retheme, and if you weren’t sure about it before, trust us, you’re going to be first in line now.
A part of the wild animal world of Zootopia is AMLOST HERE, Disney World fans.
After literal years of blue sky fantasizing, we officially know when a Zootopia attraction is opening at Animal Kingdom! While it’s not the clone of the Shanghai Disneyland Zootopia that some were hoping for, it’s still a brand-new attraction set in the world.
It’s about to be the BEST — and WORST — time to visit Disney World.
EPCOT
Does Disney World actually ever take a break? Apparently not! Fresh off the return of the super-popular Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom, August in Disney World isn’t getting any quieter, as THREE huge events are still scheduled to take place, and will no doubt keep the parks PACKED.
Do you have a countdown going till the start of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival? No? Just me?
New snacks to try!
If you’re just as excited as I am to run around EPCOT trying new foods and menus, then sit back and grab a pen because we got to try a menu item before the festival starts, and we’re bringing all the details to you.
There is nothing more exciting than a brand-new land in Magic Kingdom.
Cinderella Castle
Disney has officially announced that Frontierland is getting a massive Cars Land-inspired expansion called Piston Peak, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the biggest changes the park has seen in years. We’re talking two brand-new rides, a totally reimagined landscape, and even a geyser called Old Tankful. But here’s the thing: as excited as we are, we’re also nervous. Disney, please don’t fumble this. We’ve seen how game-changing lands can be when Imagineers absolutely nail it (Pandora, Galaxy’s Edge), but we’ve also seen how a highly hyped area can leave guests feeling underwhelmed if things don’t quite land the way we hoped. So here are the big reasons we’re begging Disney not to drop the ball on Piston Peak.
Ahoy there, pirates! Have you fought the mighty crowds to get your Beak and Barrel reservation and are now willing to walk the plank to get inside? We have an update for you that will make you as happy as finding buried treasure.

Okay, let’s drop the pirate speak. Disney just showed us new pictures of what to expect at Beak and Barrel, the new pirate-themed lounge coming to Magic Kingdom on August 29th, so let’s jump in!
Ahoy, sailors! We’ve been on choppy waters lately, toiling away on the My Disney Experience website in hopes of securing a Beak and Barrel (the new Pirates of the Caribbean tavern) reservation in Magic Kingdom. Let’s just say the experience of securing reservations was NOT smooth sailing….

In fact, the first day that dining reservations opened to guests, on August 20th, reservations quickly booked up for September AND October. Here’s what we’re seeing.
We’ve eaten EVERYWHERE around Disney World, and that means we know the ins and outs of the best places to stop on your next Disney World trip. While we’ve eaten some incredible meals lately at table service restaurants, you might be wondering where we’d recommend you stop to grab a bite to eat if your day at the parks doesn’t include stopping for a time-consuming meal. So naturally, we’re letting you in on our secret spot!
So! Cheesy!
We recently stopped by Pizza al Taglio at EPCOT to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!
Disney World is officially getting spooky as the Headless Horseman rides down Main Street, U.S.A., and the sun begins to set. Mickey pumpkins line the streets, and you can just feel the Halloween spirit in the air.
Mummy Treat
Halloween has hit Magic Kingdom, and ever since, we haven’t stopped eating limited-time snacks. We headed to the Cheshire Cafe to try one of our favorite returning snacks to see if it still lives up to the hype.
The holiday season is right around the corner, which means it’s almost time to get festive at Disney World!
Jollywood Nights
Disney World loves to embrace the holiday fun at the end of the year with events like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, and Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Speaking of the Hollywood Studios party, Disney has recently confirmed some pretty big Jollywood Nights features, and we’re letting you know all about ’em!
