food IS a theme park
Hollywood Studios is set to see a MAJOR addition next year, as the Monsters, Inc. Monstropolis land is set to open (almost) in its entirety in 2027. The new land is sure to be jammed with visitors from the jump, which got us thinking it could be beneficial for Disney to add a second entrance to Monstropolis.

Unfortunately, adding a second entrance shortcut into the land may be a bit more complicated than it sounds.
Today’s a pretty big day over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios — one popular ride just changed pretty drastically, and it’s up to guests to see if they’re a fan of the change.
Lilypad has arrived!
Alien Swirling Saucers has just gotten a major upgrade with the addition of Lilypad, the tablet seen in Toy Story 5. The change brings Alien Swirling Saucers: Lilypad’s Jams to the ride, which features new songs, a new safety briefing, and other announcements from Lilypad herself. The change officially started today, and we were in the parks to check it out!
Magic Kingdom can (almost) officially order off of the senior citizens menu! That’s right, the Magic Kingdom and Walt Disney World are on the cusp of their 55th birthday, and we are ready to celebrate.
Let’s talk 55th merchandise!
Disney typically celebrates these major milestones, and this is no exception! Before the big day arrives, a new collection has arrived in the Magic Kingdom so you can celebrate too. Shop with us before you can see the collection in person.
We’re sharing the advice your Disney World boat captain wishes they could give!
Friendship Boat at Yacht Club Resort
There are tons of ways to get around Disney World, from buses to the Skyliner to the iconic Monorail. But we have to admit that there’s something extra relaxing and magical about cruising around the resort on a boat! Our fascination with the Disney World boats got the better of us, and we asked one of our reporters, who has experience as a Disney World boat captain, what they wish they could tell their guests onboard. Let’s dive right into the three things they shared!
At theme parks, thrill rides are thrilling because of the fear factor. You can soar from towering heights, drop faster than gravity, and speed faster than cars, all from the safety of your ride vehicle. So when something goes wrong, things go very, very badly.

Over 100 riders have suffered traumatic brain injuries from a Six Flags Magic Mountain roller coaster in the last two years alone.
As a Marvel fan, the one thing I love about going to Disneyland is getting to see Marvel characters. It’s always fun to bump into Captain America, Thor, Loki (a personal fave of mine), Scarlet Witch, and more. It’s also nice when Marvel adds new characters to Avengers Campus, which usually happens when a new movie is about to release.
Reed and Sue in Tomorrowland
Well, we now have a tip that one Marvel character that hasn’t been available in Disneyland for a while may be coming back…at least in some capacity. After all, there is a HUGE Marvel movie releasing at the end of the year, so it totally makes sense.

Stop what you’re doing! It’s time for a visit to Tiny Train Town.
The town had some changes recently!
This mischeivous little city has had an absolutely WILD couple of weeks. It started with new additions and major changes for the Food & Wine Festival, but when we last stopped by, some of our favorite characters had been stolen! It was a TRAVESTY. So what’s going on right now? Let’s go find out!
We’ve all been there: You just landed at the Orlando Airport, ready to start your Disney World vacation, when it hits you — your five suitcases full of park outfits and essentials don’t all fit in the Uber!
