food IS a theme park
It’s not uncommon to have ride closures in Disney World, but sometimes, we see rides close for rather uncommon reasons.
“it’s a small world”
We’ve seen shutdowns in the past due to wildlife invasions or flooding ride vehicles, but this week, it seems that “it’s a small world” in Magic Kingdom had to close due to a fire.
If there is one thing Disney fans love, it is a ride with a long line. 😂
The longer the wait, the more convinced we become that whatever is on the other side must be life-changing. Surely this attraction will heal our skin, balance our finances, and justify standing in the Florida sun for an hour and a half.
Hello, EPCOT!
Unfortunately, that is not always how it works. EPCOT is packed with great attractions, but it is also a park where time management matters. Between the size of the park, the popularity of certain rides, and the temptation to spend half your day eating your way around World Showcase, every hour counts.
After months of patiently waiting, Soarin’ Across America has finally begun previews in EPCOT!
Soarin’ Across America
The newest version of the popular flying ride officially opens on May 26th, in honor of America’s 250th birthday. Ahead of the official opening, Disney is hosting Cast Member and Annual Passholder previews, where we got a chance to check out the changes.
A new ride is coming soon to Disneyland Resort and Disney World!
Soarin’ Across America
Soarin’ Across America is the third iteration of Soarin’, this time celebrating some of the United States’ most iconic landmarks and locales. This version is arriving in EPCOT and California Adventure in honor of America’s 250th birthday, and we just got a sneak peek at some of the locations that will be featured in the new ride film.

For some travel parties, you might be concerned about your ability to ride certain attractions at Disney World due to body size and weight. We’re here to walk you through the Disney World attractions that you might find uncomfortable and what to do if you do not fit in the ride vehicle.
For over 75 years, the artists at Walt Disney Imagineering have crafted Disney’s theme parks, resorts, and rides. Artists like Rolly Crump, Tony Baxter, and Marc Davis – among hundreds of others have imbued the company’s rides and attractions with grandeur, magic… and secrets?
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
From references to past attractions that have been replaced to tributes to other Imagineers, these tiny references are hidden inside some of Disney’s most famous rides. Most of them aren’t even noticeable to the naked eye, but for guests who know where to look, they add another layer to Imagineering’s rich history. [Read more…]
Some Disney ride closures just hit harder than others.
The ride
A few months ago, Disney fans were mourning the loss of DINOSAUR in Animal Kingdom, and that created a massive hullabaloo. But you know what deserves even more of a sendoff? Aquatopia is closing at Tokyo DisneySea, and we are distraught!
Geez, Disney World, you’re HUSTLING in 2026.
EPCOT
With the new Walt Disney Studios land and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring The Muppets coming to Hollywood Studios, Bluey experiences arriving at Animal Kingdom, and newly updated Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom, there’s a lot to experience if you’re traveling this year. But we can’t forget about the major ride change coming to EPCOT!
What is your favorite Disney World ride? 62% of you just said Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind — I mean, I don’t have proof of that, just a hunch. Ever since this ride opened, Disney fans have fallen in love with it, and we know why.
Cosmic Rewind
For many, it’s a must-do every single EPCOT day. But once you’ve ridden it a handful of times, you start noticing things and wishing Disney would tweak a few things. We have some thoughts about what we would love to see changed here. We can’t promise that Disney will make these happen, but this is us politely asking Disney to consider these improvements!
A popular Magic Kingdom ride has been closed since the end of last summer, and we’re eager to ride it again!
