food IS a theme park
Change is a constant right now in Disney World, from building new lands and hotels to refurbishing existing attractions and restaurants — it’s safe to say they have A LOT going on right now.
Monstropolis Construction
And Hollywood Studios is no exception…they’re building a WHOLE new land! They also have a few smaller changes happening in October that are worth noting. Let’s go through them, so you can have a smooth and worry-free vacation!
The theme of Disney World right now is more about construction than “magic,” but the good news is that all the construction is bringing more magic to the resort. Right now, though, things are a bit of a mess. In the parks, you’ve got major construction projects happening in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Yacht Club
Disney World hotels are also getting a ton of updates, including Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. Well, even MORE construction has moved into the Yacht Club, and we wanted to warn you about it if you’ll be visiting the hotel soon.
You don’t even have to leave your couch for this one, Disney fans! While we’re usually bringing you a look from the parks at the latest snacks and treats, right now, we’re talking about something you can snag from the comfort of home. Disney just released some brand-new pins online, and pin traders everywhere (it’s us, we’re the pin traders) are already adding these to their carts.

We are counting down the days until Hurly-Burly opens at Disney’s BoardWalk! This new lounge and restaurant will open on October 1st, and we can’t wait!
Hurly-Burly
Disney recently dropped the full menu for Hurly-Burly, and we’ve already got our list of everything we plan on trying (which, to no one’s surprise, is basically everything!). Luckily, our planning just got even easier because now we officially know the hours for Hurly-Burly on Disney’s BoardWalk!
When it comes to dining at Disney World, there are so many different spots to try. But one park that always seems to struggle to provide great options is Magic Kingdom, specifically at the quick-service restaurants.
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
Well, we recently stopped by Pinocchio Village Haus in Magic Kingdom to try a few items, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Let’s see if this spot can redeem Magic Kingdom’s bad quick-service reputation and if it’s worth a visit on your next trip!
Toy Story 5 was a HUGE hit in theaters, and we might even say it’s one of our absolute favorite Toy Story movies of all time. We’re also STOKED that one of the new characters in the movie, Lilypad, will be showing up soon at a ride in Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Well, if you’ve been looking for an excuse to watch Toy Story 5 again, you’re in luck…the movie is coming to Disney+ NEXT WEEK. Yep, that’s even sooner than we thought, and we are ready!
I’ve got a secret to tell you. Wait, hold on… Actually, I’ve got a LOT of secrets to tell you.
Disney Springs
And these secrets are gonna help you become a PRO inside Disney World’s “fifth” park, aka Disney Springs.
