food IS a theme park
It’s certainly a time for expansion for the Disney Parks.
Peter Pan’s Never Land at Tokyo Disney
Walt Disney World is changing more than one of its parks, and over at Disneyland, a new era is being ushered in as well. However, it’s not only Disney’s domestic parks that are potentially being overhauled and expanded — a new report from Tokyo Disney shows the parks could be in for some BIG changes.
If you’re heading to Japan for the 2025 Star Wars Celebration, which happens on April 18th-20th, we’re guessing there’s a good chance you might also have plans to visit Tokyo Disney Resort.

Well, if that’s the case, you’ll be able to enjoy a SPECIAL version of Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, which will feature characters from some of the NEWEST Star Wars shows, like Ahsoka, Andor, and the Mandalorian and Grogu. You’ll be able to enjoy these new scenes on Star Tours from April 8th through June 30th.
I don’t know about you, but one of our favorite things to do at Disney is to collect popcorn buckets!
Standard Halloween Popcorn Bucket 2024
You’ve seen them. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some are practical and others are less so. With the year wrapping up, we thought we’d run down a list of the best of the best Disney popcorn buckets in 2024!
We’ve celebrated Halloween; now we’re gearing up for Thanksgiving, then Christmas. And after that, we’ll be ringing in the New Year!

It might seem wild that we’re already talking about New Year’s, but in a little under two months, it will officially be 2025! There are lots of ways to celebrate this exciting event, but Tokyo Disney has lots of fun prepared for its guests.
Disney’s theme parks change all the time; this is a common thing at all of them around the world.

Rides we love can close to make way for new ones, and even entire lands can get re-themed into something brand new. This isn’t a new concept for Disney, but it can be hard to accept. Now, one ride over at Tokyo Disneyland will officially be closing in Tomorrowland forever so that a new ride may take its place.
This decades-old Disney ride is being replaced.

Change is a fact of life at Disney theme parks. Over the years — for better or worse — many rides, shows, attractions, and even whole lands have been shuttered after decades to be replaced by new and updated ones. Next month, one of the core attractions of Tokyo Disneyland’s Tomorrowland will fall victim to this progress.
We can all sing the “it’s a small world song” whether we want to admit it or not. In fact, it’s probably stuck in your head right now.
“it’s a small world” in Tokyo
It may be a “small world” but this ride is getting some BIG changes at one Disney park! Back in March, Disney announced that there would be a Marvel take-over of the “it’s a small world” ride at Tokyo Disney. Groot and friends will be experiencing the world’s cultures over at this well-known ride in 2025, and now we got a sneak peek at the characters coming for the fun!
Rides come and rides go at the Disney parks around the world.

It makes sense — the parks are constantly changing and older rides are either retired or reinvented. To that point, Space Mountain at Tokyo Disney Resort is closing tomorrow! Let’s go over the details!
Who’s ready for spooky season?! 🎃
Halloween is just around the corner!
We nearing the end of July, and Disney is starting to get ready for Halloween. We’ve seen Halloween announcements and souvenirs popping up for many of the Disney parks. We’re hoping to see some fall decorations turn up any day now! But there’s something new coming to a Disney park this year, and we’re SO excited because it features Disney Villains!
