food IS a theme park
TRON Lightcycle / Run is one of the most popular rides in Magic Kingdom, but sometimes I run into problems when I ride it.
TRON Lightcycle / Run
Whether it’s the ridiculously long wait times, struggles with the lockers, or difficulties with the (in my opinion) uncomfortable seating situation, this ride can be a fairly unique experience. But recently, I encountered some problems with the lockers before hopping on the coaster, and I’m here to share with you the solutions I discovered!
We learned back in February that LEVEL99 will likely be coming to Disney Springs to replace the former NBA Experience, which closed its doors in March 2020 during the pandemic and never reopened.
Future home of LEVEL99
We think LEVEL99 will be a great addition to Disney Springs, however, there is just one glaring problem — we haven’t heard anything about it in MONTHS!
Disney Imagineers have always been on the forefront of technology. You can see some of the newest technological advances they’ve made in Disney Parks right now, like the cute little wandering robots in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland and Disney World (which are actually a super feat of engineering).

Or maybe you witnessed the giant Hulk meet and greet in Disneyland. We’re also still blown over by the rollerblading robot Imagineering has demonstrated a few times. Well, something else that Disney Imagineers have been working on is AI glasses — the very same glasses that Meta has developed with Ray-Ban.
Halloween is getting bigger and better ALL the time, and we’re not just talking about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Disney World or Halloween Horror Nights in Universal Orlando.
Halloween is getting better EVERYWHERE, including in Las Vegas, where a new permanent attraction, Universal Horror Unleashed, will make it feel like Halloween year-round. Well, we got a chance to check out Horror Unleashed for ourselves, and we’re bringing you along for the (very, very scary; no weenies allowed) ride.
If you’re looking for something a little different for your next Orlando trip, you might want to skip Disney World and Universal Orlando and visit SeaWorld Orlando instead.

Why? Well, SeaWorld Orlando has a lot of fun attractions, plus you can spend some time getting to know some sea-worthy animals. SeaWorld Orlando even has a ride that rivals Soarin‘. AND a brand new dark ride is coming in 2026 that will take you to dizzying depths underneath the sea.
I have a confession to make that may blow your mind: I’ve never been on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT in Disney World.
Cosmic Rewind
I know, I know…it’s shocking that someone who writes for DISNEY Food Blog hasn’t been on one of Disney World’s most popular rides. Now, I usually JUMP at the chance at riding a new ride when I get the opportunity, but I’ve been to Disney World several times since Cosmic Rewind opened and I haven’t even once even thought about riding it, but I have a very good reason that I’m going to share with you.
Okay, so we know a lot of folks are planning trips to Universal Orlando for 2026 — and we get it. Maybe you waited for the initial excitement of Epic Universe’s grand opening to quiet down so you can visit Universal’s new park without as many crowds (although we expect to see crowds in Epic Universe for a while).
Jurassic Park River Adventure
Or maybe you’re just skipping Disney World because of all the construction and opting for a Universal Orlando vacation instead, which is also totally understandable. However, if you WILL be visiting Universal Orlando in 2026, you’ll need a heads up about one popular ride: Jurassic Park River Adventure will be closed for most of the year.
ROCK ‘N ROLL! Move over, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. Sorry, Cosmic Rewind. We’re jamming out to NIN (Nine Inch Nails) on another roller coaster in Disney World. Any guesses? Hint: we’re entering the Grid.
TRON
It’s time to lock in, people. We’re going to TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom for a NEW ride experience in honor of the Tron: Ares movie coming soon to theaters. That’s right — TRON is going RED, and our reality is about to look a little different.
Tomorrowland fans, you’re going to want to sit down for this one.
Astro Orbiter
At Destination D23 in Disney World, Disney dropped some major news about updates coming to Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland. We’re talking ride overlays, attraction refreshes, and even some completely new technology making its way into a beloved classic. With announcements covering TRON Lightcycle / Run, Carousel of Progress, and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, there’s a lot to take in. Let’s break it all down so you’re ready for what’s ahead.
If you’re visiting Disney World for the first time, you might not be familiar with some of the rules you’ll need to know about at certain attractions.
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Disneyland
Sure, you might have researched things like the height requirements on rides, especially if you have children. You’ve probably even checked ride safety guidelines (and be sure to listen to Cast Members when you board rides). One thing you may not be thinking of, though, is your cell phone. Now, using your cell phone on rides is a controversial topic, but there are some rides that have restricted the use of cell phones in both Disney World and Disneyland.
