food IS a theme park
Magic Kingdom in Disney World is definitely a magical place.
Magic Kingdom
The amount of dreams and magical moments that come true have to be uncountable at this point. However, there are a number of cringey things happening there that have us questioning if we’ll ever walk into the park again! Let’s talk about them
Calling all Disney movie lovers! We’ve got exciting news!

At Disney’s 2024 annual shareholders meeting, we got to hear all about Disney’s plans for the future — whether that be across the parks or within the film studios. One movie that we were looking forward to learning more about is Moana 2, which Disney recently shared would be in theaters THIS November!
At this point, we’re just counting down the days. 👑 🐸

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open in both Disneyland park and Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom this year! It has been announced that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open in Disney World on June 28th, 2024, and in “later in 2024” in Disneyland. We’ve gotten glimpses of ride testing, the characters you’ll meet along the way, and we’ve even gotten a sneak peek of the on-ride photo. As the opening date grows nearer, we get even more updates on the ride — small little details that have us getting even more excited. Now, Disney has released details behind the water tower!
Hi, hello. This is not your regularly scheduled Disney parks fashion recommendation. This is coming from a former Disney World Cast Member who worked six days a week outside in EPCOT in the dead of summer. This is coming from a person who was on their feet — hard concrete, more specifically — for the entire day. As you can imagine, standing outside under the hot Florida sun can take a toll on your body. You need good shoes.
EPCOT
Even if you’re not planning to work as a Disney World Cast Member, you might still want to pack a pair of comfortable shoes for your next trip to Disney World. Trust us — the right pair of shoes can make a WORLD of difference.
We’ve seen some HUGE things coming to Disney Parks all over the world. In the U.S., EPCOT is almost done with a massive transformation.
Peter Pan’s Never Land in Fantasy Springs
In Hong Kong Disney Resort, the World of Frozen just opened an entirely new land. Likewise, a new Zootopia-land just opened recently at Shanghai Disney Resort. Tokyo DisneySea is prepping for the opening of the Fantasy Springs expansion on June 6th, which brings three new lands to the park. But we know more is coming. Disney previously stated it would spend $60 billion on parks and experiences in the next 10 years, but recently, we learned a lot of new projects could open in 2025.
Wilderness Explorers: listen up! We’ve got some EXCITING news. Our good friend Kevin here let us in on a little secret. During our recent visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we stopped by to say hello to Kevin. But as she was leaving, we learned that her friend was in the area, too.
Meet Kevin from ‘Up’
As you may have heard, Russell from Up started visiting Discovery Island recently to meet new friends! We stopped by to practice our wilderness calls (and had a BLAST). But there’s another character you can now meet in Animal Kingdom, and he LOVES to talk!
See that little orange gal? That’s Anxiety. She’s joining Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust in Disney’s upcoming Inside Out 2 movie this summer. And if Riley’s Anxiety is anything like the kind in our heads, we have a feeling this story is going to be interesting, to say the least.

Inside Out 2 premiers in theaters on June 14th, 2024. Between all the teaser trailers and NEW sneak peek we got to see in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we are counting down the days until the new movie comes out. Oh, and if you didn’t know, you can watch an exclusive preview of the movie at Disney World right now! Wanna see how?
When you visit the Magic Kingdom almost daily, you notice even the teeniest, tiniest changes around the park. New My Disney Experience app change? We’re on it! New menu update? We’re here to tell you all about it! No matter WHAT the change, it is our duty to pass along ALL the news — big and small.
Main Street, U.S.A.
Speaking of changes, we need to talk about a fun one we’ve been tracking lately. Over on Main Street, U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom, several of those signature turn-of-the-century-inspired costumes have been changing. We’ve seen new costumes at multiple Main Street shops and other locations, and now we must show off ANOTHER new costume design.
Allow us to recount a story for you. The scene is Disney World — Magic Kingdom, more specifically. There’s a family headed to Peter Pan’s Flight. But along the way, a little one gets separated from their parents. What happens next? You can probably guess.
Cast Members
Naturally, the instinct when a child gets separated from their parents is to freak out. Disney World is a big place, and there are a lot of people walking through those gates. But then again, this is Disney World, and there are TONS of specially trained Cast Members ready for this kind of situation. So, if you think you know what happened next, you might be surprised.
Planning a trip to Disney World is SUPER exciting, but packing for it can be a challenge!
