food IS a theme park
Some exciting projects are underway in Disney World, and we can’t wait to explore them all!

From the Monsters, Inc.-themed land coming to Hollywood Studios to the two new Cars attractions in Magic Kingdom, we’ve got some fun updates on the horizon for Disney fans. However, one of the most highly-anticipated offerings is the new Villains Land coming to Magic Kingdom. And recently, we got some BIG news about what will be available there!
Sometimes, Disney World can feel like it’s designed to drain your wallet.

Between the park tickets, hotel stays, dining reservations, and merch that suddenly feels like a “must-have,” it’s easy to find yourself spending way more than you expected. But every now and then, we come across a Disney hack that feels like a genuine win—and this one only set me back $29. If you love getting those fun ride photos and videos without shelling out a couple hundred dollars, this is a tip you’ll want to remember.
We think shelling out some extra cash for Lightning Lanes is worth it, but it’s soooo much sweeter when you get to save a few extra bucks!
Haunted Mansion Lightning Lane
Lightning Lanes allow Disney World guests to skip the long standby lines, but, in most cases, you’ll only be able to access them via a paid ticket add-on. Right now, Disney World offers Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Lightning Lane Single Pass, and Lightning Lane Premier Pass for guests, and it looks like prices will be dropping for all three in September!
We’re at Destination D23, and we’re getting lots of news about the future of Disney, as well as some updates to the parks!
Carousel of Progress
During a panel, Disney made the announcement that changes are coming to a fan-favorite attraction in Magic Kingdom. After three decades, Carousel of Progress is getting an update!
The 2025 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival started on August 28th and is running now through November 22nd.
Beautiful!
But even as we’ve spent the entire day bringing you full reviews of ALL of the Festival’s Global Marketplace Food Booths, checked out the scene at this year’s Eat to the Beat Concert Series, and checked out all the new merchandise, but the day isn’t over yet. It’s time to cap off this day with a special show that takes place nightly at Spaceship Earth throughout the Festival!
Another attraction is closing for good this week in Disney World!
The Boneyard
While it may not be the most popular attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we are still sad to see it go, and we know many kids (and adults!) will miss it. We have definitely spent hours exploring this area, and we can’t believe it will soon be closed forever.
Yes, we’re still trying to get through Halloween, but when it comes to planning for Disney World, if you’ve got a holiday trip coming up, you’re probably thinking a little further ahead than spooky season.
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Holiday Fireworks dessert party
That’s especially true if you have plans to attend Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (and, yes, tickets are ON SALE NOW). Well, if you’re looking to book the Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Dessert Party, we’ve got a big update: reservations open on September 3rd.
As part of their Gold Member-exclusive Destination D23 event, Disney just revealed some blockbuster news about their upcoming slate of films!
Destination D23
Touching on every corner of the studio’s output — from Walt Disney Animation, Pixar, and Fox properties to gargantuan franchises like Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe — the presentation gave its latest look at what to expect to see in theaters and beyond throughout the rest of 2025 and 2026.
Disney foodies are flooding Disney Springs right now!
It’s time for a special event!
If you haven’t heard, it’s currently the 13th annual Great Irish Hooley Boutique Music Festival at Raglan Road. We had to check out the party and all it had to offer, and we’re bringing you along!
We’re always on the lookout for new clues about what Disney is working on. From aerial pictures to financial meetings, if Disney has their name on it, we’re probably looking into it.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
One of the ways we do this is by reviewing the permits filed by the company. These have helped us learn about project timelines and what’s happening behind the construction walls. Recently, Disney filed another permit, which suggests a new project is on its way.
