food IS a theme park
Eek! We’ve been waiting over a year to say this: Test Track is officially open in EPCOT!
Test Track
It closed in June 2024 to undergo a reimagining and become Test Track 3.0, and it’s now officially open for everyone to enjoy.
Well, just about everything seems to be changing in Disney World right now, and it’s enough to make your head spin. Magic Kingdom is getting a new expansion AND a new land. Disney’s Animal Kingdom is getting a new land. Disney’s Hollywood Studios is getting…yep, you guessed it…a new land.

There’s a huge change happening right now over in EPCOT, too. Test Track has been closed for over a year to be reimagined. Well, that reimagining is officially done, and Test Track is open to the public again. However, because of new demand for Test Track, Lightning Lane Multi Pass has also changed in EPCOT. Let’s break it down.
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle of the road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.
Animal Kingdom
We recently stopped by Tusker House for lunch at Disney’s Animal Kingdom to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!
Disney’s newest nighttime parade is here!
Disney Starlight
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away premiered on July 20th, 2025, in Magic Kingdom nearly a year after it was announced. We stopped by the parade’s debut (and a sneak peek of the show), leaving us with lots of thoughts, feelings, and tips! One thing that you’ll need to know about this parade is how to escape it when it’s over.
Magic Kingdom is going through some serious changes right now.
Lots of changes!
Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat have closed for good, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is undergoing a major refurbishment, and we’re getting a brand-new Pirates of the Caribbean tavern soon! Over in Fantasyland, a popular Disney ride has also just closed for refurbishment — here’s what you need to know.
It’s here! It’s here! It’s here! Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away is debuting on July 20th, and we’re here in the Magic Kingdom to watch.
Disney Starlight
Not only are we here to watch the new nighttime parade, but it feels like everyone else is here, too. Come with us to take a look at the crowds while we’re trying to find the best spot for viewing.
Something new has come to Magic Kingdom, and no, we’re not talking about all the construction at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or the construction walls popping up around Rivers of America.
Disney Starlight
We’re talking about a brand new nighttime parade, Disney Starlight: Dream The Night Away. Now, the parade had a soft opening a few nights ago (and we were SO lucky to be there), but after a short delay tonight (“due to unforeseen circumstances”), now the parade is officially open and will be seen EVERY DAY by everyone who visits Magic Kingdom.

Y’all…we are SWEATING in Disney World this week. It is hot and humid, but we still gotta’ eat all the Disney foods, so we’re packing our cooling towels and neck fans and taking it as easy as we can.
Blooming Rose at Be Our Guest
It’s worth it, too, because we got to try out some new menu items at some ICONIC Disney World restaurants, like Chefs de France and Be Our Guest. But those aren’t the only restaurants that have recently changed. We’ve got some other Disney World restaurant menu changes that happened this week.
EPCOT may be the only theme park in Disney World that isn’t currently getting a new land or expansion, although, granted the park got a HUGE transformation several years ago.
Test Track!
However, that doesn’t mean you don’t have something new to look forward to in EPCOT. On the contrary…the new version of Test Track is set to open on July 22nd. Now, the ride has been open for early previews for SELECT Disney World visitors, but today, Test Track has soft opened for EVERYONE.
