If you’re planning a trip to Disney World in June, you’ll want to hear about this change.
This could impact your trip to Hollywood Studios. Here’s everything you need to know.
There are a few things at Disney World that feel eternal. Cinderella Castle. Mickey waffles. That one family argument happening in the middle of the walkway for absolutely no reason. And, of course, Spaceship Earth.
That giant silver sphere is still one of the most gorgeous icons in all of Walt Disney World, and it is still the gentle EPCOT classic that takes you from the Stone Age to the computer age. But in 2026, it’s also giving off a little “vintage beauty who maybe needs a spa day, a nap, and a very patient maintenance team” energy.
If you’re planning a trip to Disney World in 2026 and staying at a Disney World hotel, you’ll be able to grab some pretty SWEET perks. For example, if you’re staying at a Disney World hotel from May 26th through September 8th, you’ll get free tickets for you and your group to one of Disney’s water parks on your arrival date.
All Disney World hotel guests get access to Early Theme Park Entry, but only those staying at a deluxe Disney World hotel get access to Extended Evening Hours. Now, extended evening hours only happen on select dates in select parks, so we’re going to give you a full rundown of all the extended evening hours dates and parks for 2026.
We’ve had an interesting week in Disney World, although granted, EVERY week is pretty interesting when you spend it at Disney World.
First, we tried a sweet potato ice cream sandwich, then we watched lines get longer and longer for a NEW viral snack in Disney’s Animal Kingdom (and we get it, because that snack is AMAZING), and we found out that Refreshment Port in EPCOT is being reimagined into La Poutinerie and will now be hosted by Air Canada. A LOT going on. Well, we also saw some changes happening on Disney World restaurant menus, so we’re going to break those down for you now.
One of our favorite ways to save money while traveling is using as many points as we possibly can, whether it be for hotel stays, rental cars, etc.
However, that also means we’re constantly looking for ways to earn points in our everyday life, so we can use them on vacation. Sometimes that means using a credit card at certain locations to earn more points, and if you’re a local to Orlando, or find yourself wanting to dine at some of the best restaurants while you’re there, we’ve got great news — at the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resorts, you can now earn points for dining at select restaurants!
Over the last 40+ years, EPCOT’s World Showcase has become beloved for its authentic architecture, themes, and cuisine representing the cultures of the countries each pavilion represents…. which makes it surprising that the United Kingdom Pavilion is lacking a spot for afternoon tea, given its importance to British culture.
However, some Disney Adults are taking matters into their own hands.
One of the most fun things about EPCOT is that all around World Showcase, you can find unique souvenirs from all around the world.
While some of them are Disney-themed, many of them aren’t, and so it makes for a fantastic find if you grab something that’s truly from that country, but just happens to be sold in Disney World. One of our favorite stores in the entire area is Mitsukoshi in the Japan Pavilion. This store has been in existence since 1673, and we love taking a look inside and finding all the fun, special souvenirs we can find. Yesterday, however, we saw something that made our jaws drop — it was a gorgeous necklace…being sold for THOUSANDS of dollars.
It’s been a big week in Disney World for rides, restaurants, and everything in between, and we’re here to keep you updated on it all!
A Magic Kingdom ride officially reopened this past week, and we got the official reopening date for another! As if that wasn’t enough, we also got a big update about a long-closed spot in EPCOT, and, while it’s not as joyous, we also know about another pool closure coming to a popular hotel. Sounds like a lot? Don’t worry, we’ll keep it simple — here are all the closures you need to know about this upcoming week, along with all the most recent updates we have for each one!
Did you know you can live inside Disney World? Golden Oak is a residential neighborhood designed by Disney Imagineers that’s minutes away from the theme parks!
Golden Oak homes have gone viral because they’re a very pretty penny. One home recently sold for a whopping $14 million! With seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, two half baths, and four garages, this two-story, 10,740-square-foot mansion is fit for Disney royalty.
Okay, we’re going to admit that we’ve got some Disney World news that might just make you cry.
So, one of our favorite things to do in EPCOT is visit The Living Seas with Nemo and Friends and head on over to the aquarium, where you can see all kinds of sea life, including turtles, seahorses, stingrays, and more. Well, one of our favorite creatures to see is the manatees, and y’all…we fell in LOVE with a manatee named Mermaid that we first saw in March. Well, we have a huge update to share about her!
