food IS a theme park
THE DAY IS HERE! Big Thunder Mountain Railroad has finally reopened in Magic Kingdom, and that means everyone is here to celebrate.
Big Thunder Mountain is finally open!
The ride has been closed for over a year while they updated the entire track and added new Rainbow Caverns, making the ride feel new while retaining the same nostalgia you grew up with. Now that the ride is finally open to the public, let’s check out the crowds for opening day of The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is not a casual park.
Tower of Terror
Magic Kingdom lets you wander around, eating popcorn and pretending your vacation personality is “whimsical.” EPCOT lets you make “snacking” a full-body identity. Animal Kingdom lets you commune with nature and then immediately abandon your morals for cheeseburger pods.
But Hollywood Studios? Hollywood Studios looks you dead in the eyes at 7AM and says, “Choose wisely.”
Thanks to a litany of discounted deals and a slew of new perks, including the return of free water park tickets, character appearances, and others associated with the Cool Kids’ Summer promotion, Disney World’s on-property hotels are looking to be crowded this summer.
Closed for now
However, those crowds are set to encounter various levels of construction and refurbishment across many of Disney’s most popular resorts.
Disney World has just begun its V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days in the parks, and that means there are TONS of perks out there for Annual Passholders to experience, but only from now through July 31st.
Disney World Annual Pass
There’s new merchandise available, tons of dining discounts to take advantage of, as well as some new snacks that are available JUST for Passholders. We headed over to World Showcase to try one of them out, and we’ll tell you one thing — if you love chocolate, you’ve GOT to snag this treat before it’s gone!
This week is about to be a BIG one in Disney World, because one of the BIGGEST closures will finally go away!

That’s right, this week is FINALLY the time when one of Magic Kingdom‘s most popular attractions reopens for visitors. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will reopen its doors to the public on May 3rd, and we couldn’t be more excited. The best part? That’s not the ONLY ride that took some big steps forward this week!
Every once in a while, we notice a trend happening in food and drinks in Disney World because it seems like almost every other restaurant is offering something with a certain flavor or a certain kind of food. Remember the whole flavored croissant trend? Yep, we were there for that.
New cookie!
Well, right now, we’re seeing a NEW flavor trend, and we’ve seen it previously at The Cake Bake Shop. The trend is mixing blueberry and lemon flavors (which is honestly a very summery thing). Well, now, Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs has jumped on the trend with a brand new cookie.
When we were scrolling through the Disney Store’s website today, we didn’t expect to find another item to add to the expensive Disney souvenirs list. But somehow, this one takes the cake… or should we say blue cookies?

This little Grogu is a cargo-carrying, following robot inspired by Grogu’s pram in Star Wars: The Mandalorian. This robot is equipped with cameras and sensors that allow it to identify its leader and follow them with ease. It’s straight out of the Star Wars universe!

Some BIG changes just happened in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland.
Leia and Han Solo
Disney has decided to scrap the one basic timeline that was originally set up for the planet of Batuu, which placed events in the land between Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Now, granted, characters NOT in that timeline have already been appearing in the land, like Ahsoka, the Mandalorian and Grogu, and more. But now original trilogy characters like Darth Vader, Luke, Leia, and Han Solo are appearing in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. So now we have to ask…what do Disney fans think about it?
