It’s really happening! Soon, we’re going straight to Disney World for a HUGE D23 fan convention, where we expect to see Disney executives, celebrities, and fans from around the globe celebrate all things Disney. And yes, that means we’re preparing for some BIG Disney news drops. Destination D23: A Journey Around the Worlds of Disney is gonna be EPIC.

If you’re like us here at DFB, you probably want to know as much about this event as possible. What’s Disney gonna tell us? When is all the big news set to be released? Who’s gonna be there? We know that the convention features special events, exclusive merchandise, exhibits, and presentations. Now, thanks to the new lineup, we also know all the important dates and times.
Are you ready to face your destiny…as in, the Disney Destiny?
Cruella on the Disney Destiny Showcase
Disney Cruise Line’s newest cruise ship will officially set sail on its maiden voyage on November 20th, and we’ve already learned quite a bit about the new ship. The theme will be heroes and villains, which, of course, means you can expect to see some of Disney’s most iconic villains onboard. However, one of those villains, Cruella de Vil, is getting her very own piano lounge on the ship — and Disney just shared more details about that lounge.
The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) recently released information for its meeting on June 27th, 2025. The agenda includes a public hearing on amendments to the district’s current comprehensive plan, Comprehensive Plan 2045, which is intended to “provide the basis for future decisions regarding land use, development, conservation, and infrastructure.”
Island Tower
The plan serves as the district’s policy on land use. It provides a framework for expansion while “managing growth, protecting the environment, ensuring health and safety, and enhancing the quality of development.” The plan shows potential development and expansion over the next twenty years, but ONLY outlines potential development at Disney World. Just because the plan allows for specific development does not mean Disney will actually follow through with all of the approved development.

One of our most beloved eats at EPCOT is GONE!
Seriously, this thing is huge.
If you were to stop and ask us where the BEST Disney World entree that doubles as a snack could be found in the entire park, we’d likely come back with a response that included the Pepperoni Pizza Roll from Sunshine Seasons. However, Disney World’s been on a mission lately to really shake things up with its menus, and it seems that this latest change has claimed a snack casualty that we won’t soon get over.
Okay, so we know a lot of folks are currently planning their Disney World trips for 2026.
After Hours at Magic Kingdom
Maybe you’ve even already figured out your budget, booked your hotel, and picked out which tickets you need. If you’re looking for something a little different, though, you might want to consider After Hours events — limited ticketed events that happen after the parks close, giving you three hours in the parks with shorter lines for everything, plus free drinks and snacks. If you’re interested, Disney just confirmed that After Hours for Magic Kingdom will return in 2026.
If you’ve been considering a Disney World trip for 2025, heads up: You may want to keep your calendar open for late this year.
Cinderella Castle
According to a report in the Orlando Business Journal, several Central Florida counties are expecting visitor levels and tourism to “level off” as the year goes on.
The ’90s were a golden era for Disney, full of iconic movies, unforgettable characters, and a style that still resonates today. Who remembers the cake castle at Disney World from 1996?

A LOT is changing in Disney World, including in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
We’ve already seen parts of DinoLand U.S.A. closed down as Disney starts work on Pueblo Esperanza, a new Tropical Americas-themed land. We’ve also said goodbye to the “It’s Tough To Be A Bug” attraction in the Tree of Life…and we know that a new Zootopia-themed show will be taking its place. Well, we’ve now got a big update about the Zootopia show.
