4 Unspoken Rules to Follow in the Saddest Disney World Theme Park Right Now

By Leave a Comment

While construction is rampant across Walt Disney World in 2026 — with major projects at both the Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios — arguably no Disney World park is being affected more than Animal Kingdom.

You can now see the Casita in the background!

With DINOSAUR  –– and all of DinoLand U.S.A. — shuttered for good, and Tropical Americas (including its Indiana Jones and Encanto attractions) still some time away, Disney World’s youngest theme park is in a state of transition right now, and guests are changing their visiting habits accordingly.

HUGE Announcements Revealed for EPCOT, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, and More!

By 1 Comment

Ah, Disney World. We know you’ve got a lot of exciting attractions on the way, but for right now? These closures are kinda crushing our vibe, especially when more and more keep being added!

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort

This isn’t just limited to the parks, either. Nope, we found out this week that a current construction project will now take us all the way into 2027 (after it’s already been going on for what feels like FOREVER), and considering it’s one of the resort’s most expensive hotels to stay at? Yeah, people aren’t thrilled. There is a bit of good news, though — a popular EPCOT attraction reopened EARLY following an animatronic refurbishment, and now we’re thrilled we won’t be creeped out when we ride it anymore.

Can You Bring Food to Disney World?

By Leave a Comment

Today, we’re answering one of the most common questions people search online before going to Disney World.

Magic Kingdom

No, it’s not the cost of park tickets or how Lightning Lanes work. It’s not even what time the fireworks show in Magic Kingdom. The question we’re discussing today has everything to do with FOOD. And more importantly, can you bring food into Disney World?

A Huge Part Of DinoLand Is Officially GONE In Animal Kingdom

By 2 Comments

Can you hear that sound? It’s kinda quiet? Oh yeah, it’s our hearts breaking into two.

So. Many. Walls.

DinoLand U.S.A. formally closed in Animal Kingdom in February 2026, and it has truly been a bittersweet process. The land is being replaced with a Tropical American-inspired area called Pueblo Esperanza, which we are excited about, but it hasn’t made saying goodbye to Dr. Seeker any easier. Now, another huge part of DinoLand has disappeared forever, and we aren’t handling it well.
