We had a chance to recently visit Disney World’s newest attraction in EPCOT (which is not open to the public yet) thanks to a Cast Member preview, but now DVC members will soon have a chance to visit Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana.

One tool you’ll find yourself using a LOT in Disney World is the My Disney Experience app. This is the official Disney World app, which can be downloaded on your mobile device. The app can help you do a whole bunch of useful things in the parks like check ride wait times, place Mobile Orders, and secure those Genie+ selections. But the app keeps changing and evolving, getting new features that you might have TOTALLY missed out on. So today we’re taking a look at 3 of the newest Disney World app updates/additions to help you make the most of your use of the app.
Is Bob Iger the savior some have made him out to be or is he really and truly a secret saboteur?

After Bob Chapek took over the role of Disney CEO, a number of big changes hit the Company. Rumors circulated of Iger’s return to make some adjustments. Iger claimed these were false, saying “You can’t go home again. I’m gone.” But that would prove to be untrue. Stories began to circulate about how Iger reportedly regretted picking Chapek as his successor. Chapek was ultimately ousted and Iger returned as CEO in 2022. Details about the transition from Iger to Chapek have long been discussed. But new information has since been shared.
We can’t get enough of the Disney Villains.

Out of all the Disney World parks, EPCOT is one that really sticks out to us when it comes to food.
EPCOT
EPCOT is the place to eat for those with adventurous palettes, as you can grab cuisine from each of the 11 countries represented in World Showcase, plus snacks and small plates from the various booths located throughout the parks during the seasonal festivals. While the majority of the restaurants at EPCOT take on a more casual atmosphere, there are TWO restaurants in the park that just feel downright fancy.
Disneyland is going through a LOT of changes right now. We recently explored the new San Fransokyo Square, tried out the tasty eats at the new Tiana’s Palace Restaurant, and heard about some updates coming to the Haunted Mansion ride.
Disneyland Resort
Now, we’ve finally got an update about another attraction that’s getting revamped in Disneyland: Adventureland Treehouse. Disney announced an opening timeline for this attraction! [Read more…]
It’s a great time to be a fan of Haunted Mansion.
Haunted Mansion
We just got a TON of new Haunted Mansion merchandise this summer, along with a Haunted Mansion movie! We’ve even seen some progress on installing Hatbox Ghost in Disney World’s version of the ride. Now, though, we’re about to smear Haunted Mansion ALL OVER OUR FACES because Colourpop just released a brand-new Haunted Mansion makeup collection.
