food IS a theme park
September will see the end of summer and the official start of fall at the Magic Kingdom, leading to some big changes to Disney World’s first theme park.

One seasonal event comes to an end while another is officially in full swing — both of which affect Magic Kingdom’s offerings and operating hours.
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!

Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable, and that’s especially true during the summer season.
Well, we got one slow week in Disney World, and apparently that was the last one we’ll have for (probably) a long while.
Saratoga Springs Resort
While there haven’t been too many changes to the Disney World hotels right now, Disney did give us a heads up that multiple projects are on their way that we need to be on the lookout for in the coming weeks. If you’ve been thinking of booking a Disney World hotel reservation for the coming months, you may want to take a look at these new projects first to help aid in your decision.
One of our favorite weeks of the year is here again! We look forward to World Princess Week all year, and now it’s finally upon us again.

World Princess Week will take place this year from August 16th through 22nd, and Disney is celebrating with tons of delicious treats you can grab around the resort. They’ll only be available for a limited time, so you’ll want to make sure you add them high up on your list so you don’t miss out!
Take it from us, Cast Members know where it’s worth dining and spending your money while at Disney World.
Crème Brûlée Croissant
If there’s one group of people who know where to eat in Magic Kingdom, it’s the Cast Members who spend their days roaming the park. We asked our former and current Cast Members on our team which restaurant spots consistently earn a nod of approval. Here are 4 Cast Member-approved restaurants in Magic Kingdom that deserve a spot on your must-eat list.
Is it safe to say that Walt Disney World just feels like one massive construction site right now?!
Haunted Mansion
Ok, we may be exaggerating a little bit, but there is a lot of construction happening across the entire resort. That’s only because Disney likes to keep everything in tip-top shape, and they have a TON of new stuff on the way, which we are very excited about. So, we’ll take construction! We’ve been patiently waiting for things to open and for construction to be finished, and we’re happy to report that the scrim is finally DOWN at a popular attraction in Magic Kingdom!
Don’t finalize your Disney World park plans just yet!
Magic Kingdom at night during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
Even though it might not feel like the typical cool, crisp fall weather in Florida, believe it or not, Halloween season officially begins in August in Disney World. The start of spooky season also means the kickoff of one of Disney World’s most popular special events, which could have a major impact on how you plan your park days for the next few months!
It’s hard to believe that we’ll soon be saying goodbye to the lazy, hazy days of summer in Disney World and welcoming in fall (because fall always comes early in Disney World!). Although the weather is still screaming summer, we’ll soon be enjoying pumpkin spice drinks and snacks, and we can hardly wait.
Halloween in Magic Kingdom
That also means that a big change is coming to Magic Kingdom, and no, we’re not just talking about all the spooky Halloween-themed decor that will arrive any day now. We’re talking about another big change: the arrival of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
It’s nearly Halloween season in Disney World, and we are SO excited!
Time to celebrate!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicks off on August 7th, and we’ll be there to check out the entertainment, shop the merchandise, and of course, eat lots of treats. But this year, several snacks are returning to Not-So-Scary from past years, and we’re telling you which ones to prioritize!
We’ve heard the Space Mountain rumors swirling, but what is actually confirmed and what is just talk?
Space Mountain
Space Mountain has been a Tomorrowland staple at Magic Kingdom since 1975. Lately, it feels like everyone has an opinion about whether the classic coaster is next in line for a major refurbishment. But we’re here to break down the rumors and what is true so far.
