food IS a theme park
“Soarin’ to tower! We are ready for takeoff!”
Soarin’ Around the World
Before you get ready to ride Soarin’ Around the World in EPCOT, and have the chance to meet Patrick, the Chief Flight Attendant, we have some tips on what rows to request for the best experience.
If you’re obsessed with the Haunted Mansion, this is the BEST time of year to find Haunted Mansion collectibles.
Haunted Mansion in Disneyland
Halloween season means Disney drops a ton of new Haunted Mansion souvenirs (and snacks!), and we’ll admit that we usually want to buy ALL the spooky merchandise. However, Disney just dropped a Haunted Mansion souvenir that most of us regular Disney adults will never be able to see — but we’re sharing it with you anyway because it’s EPIC.
So a LOT is going on in Magic Kingdom right now.
Rivers of America
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure just opened recently, as did an all-new version of Country Bear Jamboree. Construction may begin soon on an all-new Cars land PLUS a new Villains land is on the way, too. Well, now, we’ve got another change to warn you about coming up soon: a classic Magic Kingdom attraction will temporarily close.
We are just a few short weeks away from the END of the 3-month-long festival drought in EPCOT with the start of EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival!
2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
Menus have FINALLY been released for the festival, and words can’t express how excited we are. We’ve already been looking through it and making our festival plan, our eyes brightening as we saw more and more options coming back that we’ve enjoyed in years past, and then — wait, what is THAT?!
Popular Disney World rides will close now and then for refurbishment, which means you may miss out on riding them during your vacation.
Magic Kingdom
It’s no fun to get to the parks to find a ride closed down, but Disney has to ensure that all of their rides are working properly and make adjustments to them when needed. But we get really excited when we get to report that a ride or attraction is re-opening which is the case this week! While there are still a few closures around Disney World, one very popular ride at Magic Kingdom will be opening once again.
Magic Kingdom is about to be getting a LOT of construction.
Pirates of the Caribbean
First, a new Cars land is set to break ground any day now, which will take over Tom Sawyer Island and Rivers of America. Then a new Villains land will be under construction at some point behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. A new Pirates of the Caribbean tavern is also coming to Magic Kingdom soon, and we believe construction may have already started — so how about an update?
We have some favorite Disney products that we will ALWAYS tell you about.

But there’s one Disney souvenir that we’ve been talking about FOREVER that’s been available on Amazon for a little while now. You know what we’re talking about, right? Those awesome JoyJolt cups? Well, we just found those in…Disney World! Yes, you can now get those viral cups in the parks.

We often tell you to check the Disney World park hours the week leading up to and even every single day of your trip.
EPCOT
Why? Well, because if you’ve booked your trip a year in advance, things may happen between the time you booked your trip and your actual travel dates. In fact, Disney is known to adjust its park hours all the time. Sometimes, it’s due to after-hours testing, or more often, a company may rent out a park for a special event (or the parks can close early for one of Disney’s special events like their Halloween and holiday parties or after-hours events). If you’re heading to EPCOT in October, it’s imperative you know that the park will be closing EARLY one day!
We all love EPCOT in Disney World, right?
EPCOT
And there are some strong reasons to love EPCOT. It’s home to some iconic rides like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Test Track, and Soarin’ Around the World and we haven’t even brought up any of the festivals. That being said, there are some hard truths you need to know about this park.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
