This is not the news we thought we’d be sharing with you today!
A forgotten attraction in Magic Kingdom just reopened — well, part of it reopened.
Recently, Disney has announced new lands, attractions, and entertainment headed to the theme parks, new ships coming to the Disney Cruise Line, and so much more.
Keeping up with the latest construction permits Disney World files can be a great way to find out just what is going on around the parks and hotels, and we recently spotted some you might want to know about!
We try Disney snacks for a living, and sometimes we find one that we just KNOW is going to be a hit. Sometimes those snacks are in unsuspecting locations like a small food stand!
While trekking through Magic Kingdom, we came across a brand-new snack that we’re obsessed with (and yes, we already are planning on getting it again).
Well, it has CERTAINLY been a big week for Disney World news, right?
We finally got LOADS of new details about the Cars expansion coming to Frontierland, including that it will be called Piston Peak, and that it will introduce some new characters into the Cars universe (now if only Disney would drop some hints about what kind of FOOD this expansion will have — we have questions!). Anyway, speaking of food, we’ve been monitoring menu changes at Disney World restaurants all week, so let’s take a look at what’s been updated.
With summer almost here you may have plans to visit Disney World in June and we can’t say we blame you!

Let’s say you’ve been curious about using Disney World’s skip-the-line service on your upcoming trip. In that case, you might already have been considering purchasing Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Lightning Lane Single Pass to help your days in the parks go smooth! This new paid service allows you to skip the longer standby lines at rides and attraction and use the shorter Lightning Lanes in their place. And, now, we’re bringing you a look at Lightning Lane prices for June 2025. [Read more…]
A Disney World hidden gem is closing this week! This iconic steak house has been serving up juicy steak, cozy vibes, and massive portions since 1995.
However, you now have just ONE week to make one last trip here for a delicious meal. Soon, this under-the-radar restaurant will be closing for good to make way for a new restaurant.
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
With summer coming sooner than you might realize, knowing what the weekly average wait times are for those popular rides can make or break your upcoming trip. If you’re heading to the parks soon, we’ve got all the info you need to know! [Read more…]
Disney World changing from FastPass to Genie+ to Lightning Lane Single Pass and Lightning Lane Multi Pass has certainly been a trip, and we know how confusing it can all be when you’re planning a trip.
However, once you get the hang of it, you really can skip tons of lines during the day (depending on crowd levels and Lightning Lane availability, which often go hand in hand with each other), BUT we’re also the first ones to admit that in certain situations, Lightning Lanes is our complete and total enemy.
With everything going on in Magic Kingdom right now, it’s hard to keep up with progress.
Over in Frontierland, Disney is getting ready to permanently close Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island to start work on Piston Peak, a new Cars expansion. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is currently getting a massive refurbishment. In Tomorrowland, Astro Orbiter is getting put back together after a refurbishment. Meanwhile, another ride in Tomorrowland, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin will close in August for a big refurbishment, and we now have a permit that hints at some of the work to be done at this attraction.
We just recently got LOADS of new details about the big Cars expansion coming to Frontierland in Magic Kingdom, and honestly, we’re STILL wrapping our heads around everything (when Disney does an information dump, they literally DROWN you in details).
Okay, so we know that this new area will be called Piston Peak and that it will have two NEW rides, some water features, and will seamlessly meld with Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, thanks to some updates to that ride. But what about characters? If you’ve been to Cars Land in Disney California Adventure in Disneyland, you’ve probably seen Lightning McQueen, Tow Mater, Doc Hudson, and more. So, where will these characters be in Piston Peak in Disney World?
