food IS a theme park
Are you the kind of person who likes to book your Disney World trip a year in advance? Because, well, WE certainly do. It’s almost a rite of passage to book so far out so that you have an entire year of magical memories to look forward to, right?
Christmas!
Well, for those who want to book trips to Disney World in November and December of 2027, we’ve got good news. Before today, you couldn’t book a trip that far out, but now you can, so it’s time to plan those holiday trips to Disney!
Get your wallets ready, because Disney World just got more expensive!
Disney World Theme Park Tickets
Each year around this time, Disney releases thousands of price increases, from food to hotels and even park tickets. It feels a bit inevitable at this point that each year will be slightly more expensive than the last, and next year is no exception. How much more do you have to pay for your Disney World park tickets? Now we know.
Are you ready to let the good times roll? We are! We love to celebrate Mardi Gras at Universal Orlando, and Universal goes BIG for the festive occasion with an opportunity to do a lot of Mardi Gras activities you might only find in New Orleans, like catching beads, singing along with live concerts, enjoying a fun Mardi Gras parade, and so much more.

Of course, the Mardi Gras celebration at Universal Orlando also includes FOOD (aka our favorite thing) and brings some cool food booths to the festival. So, if you’re wondering when you’ll be able to celebrate Mardi Gras in 2027 at Universal Orlando, we’ve got dates for you!
Monstropolis is opening next year at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and we have high expectations.

After a few years of concept art, permit filings, and construction updates, Monstropolis is taking over the old Muppets Courtyard and Grand Avenue. The land will feature a suspended-door coaster, the Glob Theater, and two new restaurants. It’s set to open in phases starting in 2027. But before we get to the genuinely exciting stuff, we need to talk about pizza.
If you’re already planning a 2027 Disney World trip, there’s one specific stretch on the calendar that seasoned EPCOT visitors are steering clear of.
EPCOT
The park isn’t closing, and nothing is wrong with EPCOT then, but Disney planning experts have quietly started flagging an 8-day window to avoid if you can help it. So what’s the deal? It comes down to EPCOT’s festival calendar, and once you see what falls right before and right after this stretch, you’ll understand exactly why it’s on the “maybe pick different dates” list.
We’re getting hyped for the NEW land coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park.

Replacing the former DinoLand, U.S.A. is Tropical Americas, set to open in 2027. This space will have attractions themed to Encanto and Indiana Jones as well as new shopping and dining. We’ve been following the construction closely for a while now, but today we have new updates to share with you!
While 2026 isn’t quite over yet — we still have a whole holiday season to get through — many Disney World guests have already turned their calendars to 2027 to begin planning their next trip to the “Most Magical Place on Earth” … and they’re going back and forth on which discount they’re going to use to save money!
Cinderella Castle
Right now, Disney is offering two MAJOR discounts (there are also discounts available for Disney Visa Cardholders and Annual Passholders) for trips in 2027. How do they compare? Let’s find out!
We got some BIG news from Disney about 2027!
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts
Disney World revealed some major dates for next year, including announcing the dates for Festival of the Arts and the Flower & Garden Festival at EPCOT and dropping new discounts! But one big thing that we noticed from this reveal is that DISNEY HAS LISTENED TO US.
2027 is shaping up to be one of the biggest years in Disney parks history, and the full scope of what’s coming is almost hard to believe.

We’re talking about brand-new lands, reimagined classics, and entirely fresh rides opening at Disney parks across the globe, from Orlando to Paris to Tokyo. This isn’t the usual trickle of refurbishments and soft updates. This is a genuine, park-by-park wave of new attractions, and if you’re the type of person who plans Disney trips around openings, now is the time to start paying very close attention.
Who’s ready to set sail?! 🛳️
