Yes, I am that excited. Disney just shared a sneak peek of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets — opening in Hollywood Studios on May 26th — and y’all, I am ready to join the Electric Mayhem!
Get in, everyone! It’s almost time to catch a ride on the all-new Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring The Muppets!

Muppets fans rejoice, your favorite gang is almost back in Hollywood Studios, ready to bring chaos and laughs to a whole new thrill level! After getting to hear the very FIRST song announced for this new ride, Disney has revealed the next song we can expect to hear on our stretch limo trip to the Electric Mayhem concert!
We were DEVASTATED when we found out that Disney would be closing its brick-and-mortar Disney Stores across most of the United States, as we had to say goodbye to a childhood favorite place.

The stores began closing as part of the company’s shift toward direct-to-consumer sales and online stores. The closures happened in phases, with all but 25 Disney Stores across North America closing before September 2021. If you were also bummed by this news, you’ll be happy to know that Disney Stores are coming BACK! Well, sort of.
This summer at Disney World is bringing a lot of new things to the parks, but this one might actually make your day more complicated.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Cool Kids’ SUMMER is happening this year from May 26th to September 8th at Disney World. This event will bring back MORE Disney character appearances and limited-time experiences around the Resort. One of the new experiences that will kick off Cool Kids’ Summer will be at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and it involves two adorable new characters.
There are a LOT of restaurants at Disney World, and while that can seem overwhelming, we’re here to help!
Our meal at Cinderella’s Royal Table
Our DFB team has tried every single restaurant in Disney World, and we continue to go back to make sure we know how the restaurant currently is. We can tell you that there are some restaurants that are more popular than others, and that leads to their dining reservations filling up fast. If any of these are on your list for your next trip, keep a close eye out and be ready to snag them as soon as your 60-day window opens up!
Being a Disney World Annual Passholder comes with a TON of perks, and even more are coming next month!
EPCOT
V.I.PASSHOLDER Days are coming back to Disney World this year, and this summer-long event is filled with exclusive merch, limited-edition snacks, giveaways, and more. As part of this annual event, Disney is bringing back one of the BEST Annual Passholder perks — and you’ll want to head to EPCOT in May to take advantage of it!
So maybe you’ve heard us talk about Cool KIDS’ Summer — we’re kinda obsessed with it. It’s when Disney World transforms the parks and hotels to focus on families with additional character meet and greets, entertainment offerings, and more, and it’s just a fun way to see the parks in a different light.
Pluto!
We’ve been talking about the main perks, but there are three underrated offerings that could make your trip even more magical. Cool KID’s Summer runs from May 26th to September 8th.
A dead phone at Disney World isn’t just an inconvenience. It can derail your whole day.
Our phone is Disney ready!
From mobile ordering food to pulling up your park ticket at the tapstile, your phone is basically your lifeline at Walt Disney World. That means keeping it charged is a real priority, and knowing how to do that smartly before you leave home will save you a lot of stress (and money) once you’re inside the parks.
New menu alert! Whenever we hear there’s a new menu, we set off a red alert for the team, and we become totally obsessed with it until we can get our hands on it. The alarm goes off a lot, but we’re also pretty excited.
Wine Bar George
Wine Bar George in Disney Springs added some new brunch items, and we’re pretty sure we’ve found where everyone will go for brunch from now on.
Okay, we have a lot of love in Disney World. We have a passion for “plastic” nacho cheese and are always down for a Mickey-shaped anything, but what can we say, priorities are changing.
Spun Sugar
We’re always going through the World Showcase to find unique snacks and souvenirs, which is perfect considering they have items from all over the world, but after trying this unique snack, we can’t stop visiting the China Pavilion.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
