food IS a theme park
Monsters, get your hard hats! Construction is well underway in Hollywood Studios, and we have been following the creation of this new land every step of the way.

Monstropolis is slowly coming to life, and we couldn’t be more excited. Thanks to @bioreconstruct, we have a new point of view on the changes going on with this major construction project!
Let’s face it, friends, things have been kind of rough the past few weeks. From the passing of beloved figures like Dolly Parton and Tim Curry to the marker of the passage of time that is the start of the school year, the end of August can be incredibly draining. If the end of summer has you feeling down, a solid snack might be the pick-me-up you need!

For frequent Walt Disney World guests, EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival is in full swing, including some NEW, deliciously decadent options that might be set to be annual favorites! However, those outside the Disney bubble shouldn’t fret, as two of the country’s most popular fast food locations are also offering new limited-time options sure to make early fall slightly more palatable!
There can only be ONE ULTIMATE CHAMPION amongst the Disney World sit-down restaurant scene.
Garden Grill
But… WHICH ONE’S gonna take home that gold medal title? We’re ranking Disney World’s table service restaurants to find out!
This Disney World restaurant finally has a reopening date!
Coral Reef Restaurant
There are tons and tons of Disney World restaurants, and not only do we keep track of all of them to see new menus, openings, closures, renovations, and more, but we have also eaten at every single one. Yep, we’ve eaten at all Disney World restaurants, so when we share food reviews, you know it can be trusted. Well, one of the restaurants we feel… a bit conflicted about… finally has a reopening date in EPCOT, the mecca of Disney World food.
Get ready for even more Disney World changes! Lately, Disney World feels like a never-ending sea of change, which can sometimes be fun and sometimes sad.
Walt Disney Studios — Animation Building
We’ve lost some iconic attractions, but we’ve also gained some seriously exciting new additions to the parks. Now, over in Hollywood Studios, even more changes are on the horizon, and they kick off VERY soon.
A lot of Disney fans aren’t gonna be happy about this…
Indiana Jones Adventure
The Disneyland Resort is no stranger to construction and refurbishment projects. Over at Disneyland Park, the rides are generally well-maintained, but they sometimes need lengthy refurbishments to ensure everything runs properly. Those refurbishment projects sometimes include some of the park’s most popular attractions — one of which might be closed well into the fall.
2026 is a year of major change at Walt Disney World, as massive years-long construction projects continue to reshape the future of the resort. However, that doesn’t mean nothing new is coming in 2026.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets opens in 2026!
While some of the larger projects won’t be finished and open to guests until the calendar turns 2027 — and beyond — there are major changes CONFIRMED to be coming to Disney World THIS YEAR!
We’re sorry to remind you of this sad news out of Disney Springs, but it’s still so shocking to us that we’ve had to force ourselves to remember that it’s happening.
Burger from Wolfgang Puck’s
Just over a week ago, a rumor began flying that a popular Disney Springs restaurant would be closing permanently, seemingly out of nowhere. We went to go check it out ourselves, and sure enough, it was proven to be true. If you want to eat at Wolfgang Puck’s, you’ve got less than a week left to do so.
The Harry Potter theme park world is about to expand.

A massive expansion is coming to Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, and this time, we’re going where Harry Potter fans haven’t been able to before: The Forbidden Forest.
Y’all…we’ve been eating REALLY well in Disney World this week, and you know how happy that makes us. First, pumpkin spice latte season is BACK at Starbucks, but what we really loved this year was the Iced Banana Bread Latte. Then we got to dig into some spooky-themed food and drinks at The Great Hooley at Raglan Road. And, of course, we indulged in another cake slice from The Cake Bake Shop. And did we mention we drank a wine slushy flight?

And we’re not even full! Which is good because we’ve also been checking Disney World restaurant menus this week, and we’ve seen some big changes, including some new food being added. So let’s take a look at all the menu updates we spotted at Disney World restaurants this week.
