We are getting HYPED for the new land coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

We recently got some major updates about Monstropolis, the new land themed to Monsters, Inc. Disney has revealed the backstory of the land and some of the offerings, including Harryhausen’s restaurant and The Glob Theater. But there’s still so much left to learn, and construction progress has been fascinating. Now, we’ve got a look to share behind those construction walls!
I’m a former Disney World Cast Member, and I feel pretty secure in saying I’m a Disney World expert. But one area I’m still learning is Disney Cruise Line, and some major things took me by surprise on my last sailing.
Disney Wish
I recently sailed on the Disney Wish, for the second time, and I’m still taken by surprise. As a former Cast Member, I expected the same level of Disney magic I was used to in the parks with incredible service and immersive details, but I didn’t expect the cruise experience to feel so completely different in the best ways possible. Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or a Disney Parks veteran considering your first sailing, here are seven things that genuinely shocked me onboard Disney Cruise Line.
It’s been a year of construction at Disney World, and we’re not talking just about the four parks, but tons of Disney World Resort hotels as well!
Treehouse Villa
One of the projects we’ve been following in particular is over at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort, which has some of Disney World’s most unique and cool hotel rooms, the Treehouse Villas! The villas are massive and can house a big party on vacation. That being said, Disney (and we) knew it was time for a renovation. Well, after some time of refurbishment, Disney Imagineering shared a look inside the NEW Treehouse Villas!
It all started innocently enough with some clouds in Taylor Swift’s newest video for “Opalite.” Then those clouds ended up showing off a countdown that quickly disappeared from the official Taylor Swift website. At that point, fans were 99.9 percent positive that a Taylor Swift and Toy Story collaboration was forthcoming.

Well, they were right because after Pixar teased the collaboration, an announcement was made that Swift would have a new song on the Toy Story soundtrack, “I Knew It, I Knew You.” Well, Pixar is still in its Taylor Swift era because it just posted something SO fun on social media, and Swifties will catch on to the references VERY quickly.
There has been a fun update for refillable mugs in Disney World!
A new mug accessory!
For Disney World, refillable mugs can be found at the Resort hotels, and you can purchase one to use for the length of your stay, or get one included per person with your Dining Plan. You’ll only be able to refill these mugs at the Disney Resorts, but if you drink a lot of soda or other fountain drinks, it can be worth the cost very quickly. One problem though — with many of the designs looking the same…how do you tell whose mug is whose?
Many things at Disney World are often in a state of flux, including the resort’s dining offerings. From ever-rotating menus and offers to a whole new dining plan tier coming in 2027, things are always changing.

Those changes can, in turn, often affect Disney World dining tips, sometimes even making them null and void. So if you’re heading to Disney World anytime soon, be wary that these once viable hacks are no longer usable.
Don’t let this cruise planning mistake cost you money!
Disney Magic Cruise Ship
There are a lot of details that go into planning a vacation, from finding the best travel dates to booking flights. With so many logistics to juggle, it can be tempting to pay for everything up front — after all, that’s one less thing you have to remember, right? But if you’re planning a cruise vacation, you could be leaving some serious money on the table by paying in full right away!
It’s officially happening! A new Monsters, Inc. land is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, bringing a brand new ride, new experiences, and SO much more to the park…and we are READY.

The only thing better than a new LEGO set is a super cool new Disney LEGO set! We love it when Disney and LEGO collaborate to bring some of our favorite stories to life in LEGO form.
