food IS a theme park
According to Entertainment Weekly, a man died after a medical episode at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.

The man was described as in his 60s and was transported to a hospital early Tuesday morning, where he later died.
Magic Kingdom is changing… a LOT. This year, we said goodbye to Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island so Disney could build Piston Peak, a brand new Cars expansion in Frontierland. Disney has also started to build a brand-new land in Magic Kingdom dedicated to Disney Villains (and we cannot wait!).

However, some Magic Kingdom rides are also changing and should debut with the new changes in 2026. So let’s discuss those changes and think ahead to other future changes the park might need.
I’m holding onto fall as long as I can possibly can before the twinkling holiday lights start being strung across Disney World. For me, that means eating more seasonal treats!
Seasonal Macaron
We headed to L’Artisan des Glaces in the France Pavilion in EPCOT to try out a seasonal treat to see if you should stop here next time in the World Showcase.
Disney just announced even more holiday fun, and y’all, if you haven’t grabbed tickets to Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios, you might want to check your calendar and buy a set of tickets.

One of my favorite parts of Jollywood Nights last year was meeting all the different characters you can’t normally see around the park. Now, even more have been added, making it a total character palooza.
Halloween is almost here, which means lots of treats!
Halloween at Disney World!
Everyone loves to go to the parks at Disney World for all the Halloween goodies, but Disney Springs needs to stop getting slept on when it comes to eats and treats! Raglan Road at Disney Springs made an announcement that NEW Halloween treats are here, and we think you need to know about them.
Tucked away just outside of Disney World is a lovely little restaurant called Four Flamingos. This isn’t just any old restaurant, though. Four Flamingos is a Michelin-Recommended restaurant with an excellent menu crafted by celebrity chef Richard Blais. If you’re in the Orlando area, we highly recommend a visit. In fact, why don’t you go ahead and mark October 26th on your calendar now? There’s a special event happening soon!
Let’s EAT!
Seriously — clear your schedule for October 26th. A popular brunch event is returning to Four Flamingos this month, and the food is gonna be GREAT. The annual Stone Crab Brunch buffet is back, people!
I know, I know…we’re all wondering about booking a trip to Disney World in 2026. Everything just got more expensive — Disney typically raises all kinds of prices on tickets, food and merch each October, and this year was no different. And while big things are on the way with FOUR NEW LANDS coming, right now we’re in the painful period of closures and construction walls that inevitably comes before the new stuff.
Magic Kingdom
I’m always looking for a reason to book a trip, though, and right now — we’ve got one! I LOVE a good sale, and over my 7+ years of covering Disney’s theme parks, I don’t think I’ve seen quite this many Disney World discounts offered at the same time.
As much as I love staying at a Disney hotel during a Disney World trip, you shouldn’t avoid the Disney Springs Area Hotels. These hotels are still on Disney property but are run by third parties, all vetted by Disney itself.
Disney Springs
They have similar perks to Disney World Resorts, like transportation to the parks, early entry, and some even have more benefits like free breakfast. There’s a major deal happening at these hotels, including rooms that start at $82 per night!
EPCOT is a virtual WELLSPRING of great restaurants, and you can literally dine around the world without ever leaving the park.
Dessert, anyone?
Well, we recently decided to take a jaunt across the pond (aka World Showcase Lagoon) to check out some dining in the U.K. Pavilion, so we’re inviting you to join us as we grab some traditional British fare at Rose and Crown Pub and Dining Room.
There are LOTS of construction walls up in Disney World right now! You will find walls up around Pueblo Esperanza in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Piston Peak National Park in Magic Kingdom, the new Monsters, Inc. land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and various other spots where construction is happening in Disney World. There are also some walls up in Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios around what has been rumored to be a new snack stand, and today, we got a FIRST LOOK at this new spot!
Something has “popped” up in Hollywood Studios!
We have been keeping a close eye on this spot, curious about what would pop up. Well, now we have our first look at the new snack stand that has “popped” up over the top of the construction wall! Disney hasn’t officially confirmed that it is a new snack stand yet, but based on what we are seeing, we are pretty confident it will eventually be a snack stand.
