food IS a theme park
A new Cars-themed area is coming to Magic Kingdom, and Disney just dropped so many details.
Lightning McQueen
The new area will be called Piston Peak, and it will allow you to enter the world of Cars with a National Park twist.

This NEW part of Frontierland will be called Piston Peak and will include new theming, two new rides, additional food and beverage options, and a whole lot more. Disney has shared some info here and there about this new area, but now we’ve got details about the queues of BOTH rides!
If there’s one thing Disney fans aren’t shy about, it’s sharing how they really feel about the state of the parks —and right now, it’s not all pixie dust and churros.
Construction Walls
Between construction walls popping up like mushrooms after a Florida rainstorm and fan-favorite attractions going down left and right, things are feeling a little chaotic in Disney World. With all that in mind, we wanted to find out from you what your feelings were about all the major projects and construction walls, and y’all definitely had some thoughts.
2025 is a year of transition for the Magic Kingdom.
Magic Kingdom
A new nighttime spectacular and long-demanded lounge are coming, two opening-day attractions are going away forever, and one iconic E-Ticket is closed for the whole year! In other words, if you’re heading to Disney World’s original park this year, be prepared!
Magic Kingdom is about to look completely different!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World’s original park has seen many changes in the recent years including the addition of TRON Lightcyle / Run, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and an overhaul to the Country Bear Jamboree.
Even more changes are on the horizon as the Magic Kingdom expansion progresses with the addition of Villains Land “Beyond Big Thunder Mountain” and the Cars expansion on Tom Sawyer Island. While construction has yet to start on the Cars expansion, Disney recently shared new details about this new area of the park!
Disney World is booked and busy right now!
Magic Kingdom!
There are major land expansions coming, rides closing permanently very soon, and so much more! While things are constantly changing, we are always watching for all of the news, big and small. Let’s chat about the three biggest Disney news stories from this week.
There’s been a big shift at Magic Kingdom and it has us thinking 5 years ahead.
Magic Kingdom
In case you missed it, there are currently no more Virtual Queues at Disney World. That’s right, TRON Lightcycle/ Run ended their virtual queue earlier last year, but now Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind have ended theirs. But, we could see the effects of this for a while — let us explain.
Magic Kingdom’s major expansion plans just passed another hurdle.
Cinderella Castle
The permit for the park expansion has just been approved by the South Florida Water Management District signaling the first major move towards the park’s updates. The permit was first filed in August 2024 with a few additions and expansions added throughout 2024.
Disney fans don’t tend to agree on much, but chances are we can all agree that the parks could use more places to take a break and relax.
Cozy Cone Motel
Lucky for us, Disney must have listened because that’s exactly what happened over in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure. We recently saw the updated ordering counter at Cozy Cone Motel, and now a new seating area has opened up to go along with that change!
2025 is a big year for Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
We have new attractions opening while saying goodbye to a few. We will see some rides closed for refurbishment. Let’s take a look at all of the changes coming and how it will affect your 2025 Disney trip!
