food IS a theme park
Frontierland is BUSY today, and for very good reason!
Frontierland
If you’ve been in Magic Kingdom today and noticed some heavier-than-usual crowds, you might be wondering what the heck is going on on a random Thursday in January. Don’t worry — we can fill you in! [Read more…]
Every year, there are new experiences that become available in Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
Last year alone, TRON Lightcycle /Run opened, Disney celebrated their 100th Anniversary for the whole year, Splash Mountain permanently closed to make way for a new attraction, and those are just to name a few. And while there are tons of exciting things coming for 2024, we’re wondering if it will be enough.
It’s still January, but a LOT has already changed in Disney World in 2024.

Park pass reservations are no longer required for most Disney World visitors. All-day park hopping is back (no more waiting until 2PM). The Disney Dining Plan has made a return. We’re seeing a LOT of progress on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Well, ANOTHER attraction is about to change in Disney World and it could affect your upcoming plans in Magic Kingdom.
There have been a LOT of closures in Disney World recently, including Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Kali River Rapids in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom, and the Skyliner transportation system. Luckily, two of those closures are finally ENDING this week!

However, as those closures end, two MORE closures will begin. Let’s check out all the temporary closures and refurbishments that will affect Disney World from January 21st through the 27th.
Many people may think the most popular ride in Disney World is over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios…but they’d be mistaken!
Animal Kingdom
It makes sense — Hollywood Studios is full of popular rides with very long wait times. However, the culprit for the longest wait time is hiding over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It’s Flight of Passage in Pandora — The World of Avatar, but now we’ve got a good update to share.
Disney World is changing in some MAJOR ways.
Cinderella Castle
Magic Kingdom is seeing some huge updates, especially — we’ve been keeping up with all of the construction progress on the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure transformation, but that’s not all! Last year, Disney announced that another iconic Magic Kingdom attraction would be getting an update, and that time has almost come.
The wait is over. Holiday crowds have made their exit from Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
We’ve seen decorations come down and new merchandise replace the festive finds on the shelves, but one of the biggest things that has changed is the crowds. Overall it felt less crowded on a day-to-day basis this week, even though Park Passes were selling out for Annual Passholders on certain days. So what does this mean for the wait times? Well, let’s just say we think you’re going to like the news!
“At Country Bear Hall you could be different and still fit in.”
Country Bear Jamboree
Country Bear Jamboree at Magic Kingdom in Disney World is certainly a unique experience. The show centers around animatronic bears who talk, sing, and play instruments to a usually giggling audience. Admittedly, as we progress further and further into the 21st century, the show has become more niche and a relic of the old days of the Disney Parks. This is likely why Disney is closing the show temporarily to give it an update. Disney hopes Country Bear Jamboree will become a headliner when it reopens — but will it actually?

Country Bear Jamboree is changing in a BIG way, and now we know when the new, updated show will debut!
