food IS a theme park
OK, Disney fans. We’ve got good news and bad news. Which do ya want first?
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
If you want the bad news, you can skip to the end. But before you do, we highly encourage you to hear us out first. Disney just dropped some major news about the future of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and some big areas of the park are going to look different. Here’s what’s changing.
Hey there! Wanna hear a Disney World hotel secret?
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Alright, gather ’round, because I’m about to spill the…chutney? I’m sure you’ve heard the hype about Sanaa over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, and let’s be real — it’s 100% deserved. Now, the star of the show isn’t one of the main entrees or the desserts (even though they’re all delish). No, the true MVP is the Indian-style bread service (iykyk). I bring all that up to say that the secret I’m about to drop on you is the kind of secret that might have you never going to Sanaa again! Are you ready? Once you hear it, you can’t un-hear it. Let’s go!
We’re back at it again and bringing you another Disney World drink review!
Hollywood Studios
With so many options within Disney World’s parks to choose to stop by for a drink, how do you ever narrow down all of your choices? Sure, we have our favorites that we’ve tested time and time again but for this review, we’re calling your attention to a quieter spot that seems to be a real crowd-pleaser.
EPCOT, like the other Disney World parks, is always changing.
2024 Food and Wine Festival
Year by year, month by month, and sometimes even week by week! However, there’s one big offering that makes EPCOT stand out from a food standpoint than the other parks, and that’s the four festivals the park has throughout the year. The current festival, EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival, is coming to an end tomorrow, and the park will almost immediately be very different.
Now, you know how we go to Disney World every day, right? Well, even though we go so often, there are still things that surprise us.
Magic Kingdom
We’re not talking about new treats, or unexpected experiences we might encounter while at the parks. What we are talking about is the crowds, or rather, the specific lack there of on this one random week. We’re not complaining about it. On the contrary, we love it, so let’s talk about why this week might be the sweet spot for your next trip, plus what you need to know before you pack your ears and head out.
While Disney World usually does a good job of letting guests know about potential closures ahead of time, sometimes closures may catch you by surprise.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
If you are headed to Disney’s Animal Kingdom in the upcoming weeks, we have some news for you! There are two snack stands in Disney’s Animal Kingdom that are mysteriously not showing any hours.
Well, we’ve certainly had some BIG news about Disney’s Hollywood Studios recently.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We’re pretty excited about the new villains show coming to the park; however, the biggest news we received recently is all about the upcoming Monsters, Inc. land. Disney recently revealed the location for this land, and yes, that means we’re saying goodbye to the Muppets Courtyard (but hello to a Muppets-themed Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster). But Disney also made another hidden announcement about Hollywood Studios: another new show is coming to the park.
It takes a certain type of person to be a Disney World Cast Member. They must be 1.) personable, 2.) energetic, and 3.) enthusiastic. No sad sacks on the job! Mickey Mouse wants his coworkers to have FUN, after all!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Cast Members
Why are we telling you this? Well, there’s an unspoken fourth trait that Cast Members must have to work at Disney World: tact. As a Cast Member, you’re gonna run into all kinds of weird situations that ONLY happen at a world-famous theme park like Disney World. They don’t teach you how to fix a Lightning Lane Multi Pass reservation in business school. So, sure, your local theme park ride attendant may be able to say, “Not my problem, lady,” when you bring them a problem, but Disney World Cast Members can’t get away with that kind of thing.
Back at D23, Disney announced that an official Monsters, Inc. themed land would be coming to Hollywood Studios. Well, we officially got confirmation on where this new land will be going, but we also got some news we weren’t expecting AT ALL!

The new Monsters, Inc. land will be taking over the Muppets area of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, BUT this isn’t the end of The Muppets in Hollywood Studios. In fact, The Muppets are being moved elsewhere in Hollywood Studios.
A lot of exciting things are happening in Disney World right now, and there are even more exciting things coming up soon.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Test Track is getting a re-theme. A new Zootopia show is coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, which is also getting a brand new land, Pueblo Esperanza. Magic Kingdom is getting two new Cars rides AND a new Villains land, and a villains-themed show is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. However, something else is coming to Hollywood Studios, too, and that means a land will have to close down to make way for construction. Now, we know when that will happen.
