food IS a theme park
We’re at Destination D23, and we’re getting lots of news about the future of Disney, as well as some updates to the parks!
Carousel of Progress
During a panel, Disney made the announcement that changes are coming to a fan-favorite attraction in Magic Kingdom. After three decades, Carousel of Progress is getting an update!
On August 29th, Disney World reported a massive wave of ride closures across the property. The closures were reported in the evening, around 5 PM, and many attractions are still down at this time.

Back at D23, Disney announced that an official Monsters Inc. themed land, Monstropolis, would be coming to Hollywood Studios. Not only that, but Chairman Josh D’Amaro told the crowd, “You’ll go into the factory and experience the first suspended coaster ever in a Disney park. Remember in the movie how those claws grab the doors and hoist them up into the air to take them away? We’re doing that, too. And you’re going along for the ride.”
