The One Frustrating Reason You Should SKIP EPCOT in 2025

By 2 Comments

Happy 2025, DFB Readers. You may have plans to visit Disney World this year, and if you do…well, there’s a LOT going on.

EPCOT

You’re going to see some construction happening in Disney’s Animal Kingdom while Dinoland, U.S.A. becomes Pueblo Esperanza, a brand new land. Muppets Courtyard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios will eventually be converted into a Monsters, Inc. land. In Magic Kingdom, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will be getting some kind of update and will be closed for at least a year, while we’ll also see construction for a new Cars expansion and Villains land. Well, EPCOT might not be as exciting to visit either…for one very important reason.

In fact, a lot of these changes could make the parks more crowded, so beware!

To start off, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will be closed for at least a year for an update. Tom Sawyer Island and Rivers of America are also about to be completely reimagined into a new Cars expansion in Frontierland. But wait…there’s more!

By 1 Comment

Swimming in Disney World may not be your first priority during the winter months of the year when it’s chillier, but come spring, summer, and fall, it’s a great way to keep cool on your resort day or take a quick dip when you get back from a long day at the parks.

Stormalong Bay at Disney’s Beach Club

There are a lot of fantastic pools around Disney World, but one that’s considered to the best of the best is Stormalong Bay Pool at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. Yes, both resorts share the pool, but it’s certainly big enough! This pool features incredible amenities like a sand pool bottom, a waterslide, and so much more. However, if you’re planning to visit in 2025, there’s something you need to know — it’s going to be CLOSED for half the year!

NOBODY Expected This To Happen on Big Thunder Mountain in Magic Kingdom

By 8 Comments

Well, it’s official — Magic Kingdom is about to become a big ‘ole mess of construction.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

You’d think we’d be used to so much construction after the LOOONNG EPCOT transformation, but we’re really worried about what that means for Magic Kingdom. It’s going to be bad enough seeing all that construction where Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island is to make way for the Frontierland Cars expansion, and we know there are going to be a lot of construction walls to walk around. However, we’re noticing a trend in some construction happening already behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad that’s setting an unsightly trend.
