food IS a theme park
All the Disney Parks news from the week is coming up right now.
Fantasmic! returns!
Fantasmic! returns to Disneyland, a Magic Kingdom special event has SOLD OUT, and we may have an opening date for a popular Hollywood Studios ride.
Country Bear Jamboree was one of the opening day attractions at Magic Kingdom, opening alongside the park on October 1st, 1971.
Country Bear Jamboree
Last year, Disney announced that the attraction would be closing to make room for a new, updated version of the show — and we’ve been keeping an eye out for every update we can get since then! Disney just shared a sneak peek and more details of what we can expect from this retheme, but now we’ve got another clue that things are moving along.
It might not be spooky season just yet, but we’re already getting excited about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom.
Halloween in Disney World
Where else can you see the Haunted Mansion ghosts outside the famous attraction or scary spectres in the Boo to You Halloween parade! Between the rare character appearances, special Halloween treats, and beloved nighttime parade, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a POPULAR event — so when will is sell out this year?
If you plan on visiting Magic Kingdom this weekend and beyond, we have an important update to share!
Festival of Fantasy Parade
If you’re a fan of Magic Kingdom’s Festival of Fantasy Parade, REJOICE! We previously reported that the parade will once again be performed TWICE each day, and now the day that change becomes official is nearly here! [Read more…]
Things are about to get VERY busy in Disney World, but that’s not a BIG surprise.
The crowds are headed to Disney World
However, if you’ve never visited Disney World over a holiday weekend, you could be a little shocked by the crowds. Memorial Day brings in quite a few people, PLUS the Disney Memorial Day Soccer Tournament brings in even MORE people, so you need to be prepared before you step foot in the parks. You’ll also notice that the price of Genie+ will rise when Disney World expects crowds, and we’ve already seen Genie+ jump up in price as of today.
Magic Kingdom is known as “The Most Magical Place on Earth” and for good reason!
Cinderella Castle
When it comes to the Disney Parks, especially Magic Kingdom, sometimes it’s easy to get lost in the “what’s next?” questions. In fact, some of the best parts about Magic Kingdom are the finer details wrapped up in nostalgia. How often do we take a step back and appreciate the little moments at Magic Kingdom that create lifelong memories?

POG Juice!
Oh, I’m sorry; what’s that you say? You’re not familiar with POG Juice? Well, allow me to explain: POG Juice is a truly delightful drink found at several restaurants around Disney World. “POG” stands for Passion Fruit, Orange, and Guava — the fruit juices that come together to make this beloved beverage!
Of course, in order to drink POG Juice, you’ve gotta know where to find it first. And that’s where we come in! We’re filling you in on EVERYWHERE that you can get POG Juice in Disney World! [Read more…]
After a long and notable absence, a missing Magic Kingdom ride feature has FINALLY returned!
Welcome, foolish mortals!
Not long after the installation of the Hatbox Ghost in the Haunted Mansion attraction at Magic Kingdom, we noticed that the floating candelabra in the Endless Hallway scene was MISSING. Just last month, we were beginning to worry that change was permanent. Fortunately, we can gladly report that is NOT the case!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will officially open to Magic Kingdom visitors on June 28th!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at night
Disney has been dropping a ton of details about what we can expect on the opening day, and we’re getting closer to Cast Member, Annual Passholder, D23 Members, and Disney Vacation Club Member previews, too. We’ve been keeping up with the latest construction updates, but Disney has just shared some new details about the ride queue!
Magic Kingdom can be quite a hectic place, we get it!
Magic Kingdom
You can make your trip less stressful by researching and booking what dining reservations you want ahead of time, making a loose plan of what you’d like to accomplish during your trip, and packing all your essentials. However, some of the stressors from your trip will likely come from other people’s actions that you can’t police — in fact, 90% of Disney fans want to BAN these things from Magic Kingdom!
