food IS a theme park
A brand-new Universal theme park is opening in Fisco, Texas, on July 1st, but thanks to early previews, we got a great look at what’s to come.
Universal Kids Resort
Universal Kids Resort has seven lands, all themed to fun characters and movies, with everything being geared towards kids. There’s also a 300-room hotel attached, equally as themed. Now that pictures and videos are out for the theme park, fans are starting to share their opinions, and let’s just say…we’re not quite sure what to say!
Well, this is exciting!
Downtown Disney
There’s been a lot happening in Downtown Disney at Disneyland with new locations opening left and right, and now something new is coming — and we’re thrilled.
UPDATE: Showtimes for The Wonderful World of Animation are now listed through July 31st. Times are not listed starting August 1st. If this follows a similar pattern to the July times, it may just be a matter of time before the August showtimes are listed. As always, be sure to check the My Disney Experience app or Disney World website for the latest showtimes ahead of your trip!
We can’t be the only ones who noticed this popular show at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is missing from the Disney World calendar!
Wonderful World of Animation
Disney hasn’t made any announcements, but there’s a chance the popular nighttime spectacular may be closing for a period of time. Let’s take a look at what we know so far!
If you’re going to Magic Kingdom soon, you might notice some differences.
Magic Kingdom
Of course, the park has recently reopened two rides after major refurbishments, and there are some big construction projects going on in Frontierland and beyond, but there are quite a few little changes as well! Let’s chat about the small updates the Magic Kingdom has made recently that you’ll want to know before your trip.
Planning a trip to Disney World requires a lot of thought. Not only do you have to think about things like where to stay, how long to stay, what tickets you need, and how to get there, but you also have to think about packing.

Now we’ve put together packing lists for you of items that you’ll definitely need in Disney World, but you also need something to put those items in, aka the right luggage. If you’re in the market for new luggage, well, Amazon just dropped some new Toy Story pieces that you might need for your next Disney trip.
Disney World refillable mugs are one of those tiny vacation purchases that somehow carry the weight of a mortgage decision. Do you need one? Will you use it enough? Is it worth the money? Will you regret not getting one when you’re standing in your resort food court at 7:12 AM, spiritually dependent on caffeine, watching someone else stroll past with a full mug of coffee?

We’ve been there. We’ve done the mug math. We’ve stared into the soda machine abyss.
You know that iconic smell when you’re walking down Main Street U.S.A.? That’s the Main Street Confectionery, and it’s the perfect spot to stop by for a sweet treat at Magic Kingdom. We’re big fans of the confectionery here at the Disney Food Blog!
Main Street Confectionery
It’s not just the smell we love about the confectionery, it’s also the look and aesthetic inside. That’s why we’re a little nervous about recent news that suggests the Main Street Confectionery could look completely different in the future. Let’s take a look!
It’s been almost a year since we said goodbye to Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island in Magic Kingdom, and since then, we’ve been following the construction happening in that space that will result in a brand new Cars-themed expansion called Piston Peak.

Now, we don’t have any idea of when Piston Peak might be opening in Disney World, but we’ve been following its construction progress, and will continue to follow it from start to finish. Well, we have a brand NEW update to share with you about this expansion, thanks to some new aerial photos by @bioreconstruct. So let’s take a look at what these new photos show us.
We always make sure to keep you informed of all the Disney World construction updates.

Usually, this means photos of rides or new lands that are in progress, but today we have a very unique and interesting construction update for you! [Read more…]
There are a few Disney World reservations that make people act like they’re trying to buy Taylor Swift tickets from inside a moving elevator. Beaches & Cream is one of them. And look, we get it. Beaches & Cream Soda Shop at Disney’s Beach Club Resort has the whole package: burgers, grilled cheese and tomato soup, milkshakes, sundaes, retro soda fountain charm, and enough nostalgia to make your vacation budget briefly feel less frightening. It’s cute. It’s convenient. It has the Kitchen Sink. People love it.
No Way Jose
But here’s the problem: Beaches & Cream is small, popular, and not always easy to book. So what do you do when you can’t get that reservation? Do you dramatically collapse onto your My Disney Experience app? Do you start whispering “No Way José” into the void? Do you settle for whatever random snack is closest and pretend you weren’t emotionally committed to a milkshake?
