food IS a theme park
Eek! We’ve been waiting over a year to say this: Test Track is officially open in EPCOT!
Test Track
It closed in June 2024 to undergo a reimagining and become Test Track 3.0, and it’s now officially open for everyone to enjoy.
We’ve waited for this day for over a YEAR, and now, after what feels like forever, it’s FINALLY time for the public to ride this iconic EPCOT attraction again!
Test Track!
Test Track closed in June of 2024 to transform the 2.0 version into 3.0. Today, July 22nd, Test Track 3.0 has officially reopened to the public! We got the chance to ride the attraction a few weeks ago, and we’re thrilled that all guests now get to experience this new reimagined version. We have to admit, though, seeing THESE crowds today was NOT what we expected!
Well, just about everything seems to be changing in Disney World right now, and it’s enough to make your head spin. Magic Kingdom is getting a new expansion AND a new land. Disney’s Animal Kingdom is getting a new land. Disney’s Hollywood Studios is getting…yep, you guessed it…a new land.

There’s a huge change happening right now over in EPCOT, too. Test Track has been closed for over a year to be reimagined. Well, that reimagining is officially done, and Test Track is open to the public again. However, because of new demand for Test Track, Lightning Lane Multi Pass has also changed in EPCOT. Let’s break it down.
Here at Disney Food Blog, we’re obviously obsessed with food, so we spot any new changes that involve snacks at our favorite places on Earth.
Downtown Disney
Over at Disneyland, two new food stands have been spotted at Downtown Disney, and we’re ready to try them out!
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle of the road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.
Animal Kingdom
We recently stopped by Tusker House for lunch at Disney’s Animal Kingdom 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!
Somehow, we doubt these guests will be heading back to Disneyland’s hotels anytime soon.
The DVC tower at Disneyland Hotel
Walt Disney World is well-known for its vast array of on-property hotels. However, its west coast counterpart, the Disneyland Resort, doesn’t have nearly the same renown amounts many Disney fans, despite being home to the very first official Disney-themed hotel.
I’ve done quite a bit of shopping in EPCOT, but there are some things I’ll NEVER buy again.
EPCOT
When you’ve got limited souvenir money for your vacation, you have to budget wisely, and I’d rather spend my hard-earned cash on things that will last, are memorable, or that I can’t get anywhere else. So when I’m shopping in EPCOT, I’m ruling out some of the options!
Disney’s newest nighttime parade is here!
Disney Starlight
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away premiered on July 20th, 2025, in Magic Kingdom nearly a year after it was announced. We stopped by the parade’s debut (and a sneak peek of the show), leaving us with lots of thoughts, feelings, and tips! One thing that you’ll need to know about this parade is how to escape it when it’s over.
Magic Kingdom is going through some serious changes right now.
Lots of changes!
Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat have closed for good, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is undergoing a major refurbishment, and we’re getting a brand-new Pirates of the Caribbean tavern soon! Over in Fantasyland, a popular Disney ride has also just closed for refurbishment — here’s what you need to know.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is coming BACK to Disney World, baby!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
It’s not quite time yet, but we’re already planning our trips and scheduling our visits to this year’s event! Many popular offerings are returning in 2025, from Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade to the beloved unlimited cookies. However, some things will be different!
