Okay, it’s no secret that there is some GOOD EATING in Disney Springs. That probably has to do with many of the restaurants there that are owned by celebrity chefs.
From Morimoto Asia, which is owned by Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto to Chicken Guy!, owned by Guy Fieri, to Homecomin’, owned by Art Smith, there’s no shortage of famous chefs who own restaurants in Disney Springs. Well, we just got a chance to chat with one of Disney Springs’ celebrity chefs, Maneet Chauhan, who owns eet by Maneet Chauhan, and she filled us in on the one thing you should order at her restaurant.
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
With Spring Break crowds making their way to the parks, knowing what the weekly average waits are for rides can make or break your upcoming trip. If you’re heading to the parks soon, we’ve got all the info you need to know!
If there’s one thing we know about Disney fans, it’s that we always have opinions on what’s next for the parks.
Whether it’s a new ride, a revamped land, or a totally fresh idea, we’re full of suggestions. With all that in mind, we wanted to find out from you what expansion you’d like to see next in Disney World, you did not disappoint.
It’s been a YEAR in Disney World. Let’s just say keeping up with all the changes (and those to come) has been a challenge.
We’ve literally watched part of DinoLand, U.S.A. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom get shut down to make way for a new land. We’ve seen the end of It’s Tough To Be A Bug so that a new Zootopia-themed show can take over its spot. We’ve mourned the upcoming loss of Muppets Courtyard as it gets converted into a Monsters, Inc. land. Over in Magic Kingdom, we’re a little upset about the upcoming loss of Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island for a Cars expansion. But something else is changing soon in Magic Kingdom, too: nighttime entertainment.
Heading to Disney World in April? Fair warning, not everything will be open…
Refurbishments are a fact of life at Walt Disney World, as more often than not at least a few rides and attractions at the resort will be done for work on a given day. This April is no exception, as 4 major Disney World attractions are currently scheduled to be down for the entirety of the month.
Disney World has seen its fair share of hits and misses over the years.
While some attractions become instant classics, others… well, not so much. Whether it was a concept that didn’t land, a ride that aged out of relevance, or just something that straight-up didn’t work, Disney has had to say goodbye to several failed attractions over the years. Let’s take a look at a few rides that flopped so hard they had to be shut down.
Disney World just keeps changing, but that’s kinda the whole point — the parks and resorts are meant to grow and evolve. However, 2025 has been bringing more changes than EVER! In Disney’s Animal Kingdom, DinoLand, U.S.A. has started a phased closure so it can become Pueblo Esperanza. Even Disney World hotels are changing!
Magic Kingdom is getting both a Cars expansion AND a Villains Land. Disney’s Hollywood Studios is closing Muppets Courtyard to make way for a Monsters, Inc. land, while the Muppets will take over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. Well, now, we’ve got another big change to tell you about: a restaurant in Disney World has permanently closed and will soon become a new gaming experience.
A LOT is changing in Disney World in 2025. Now, we’re not even talking about the construction that’s started in Animal Kingdom or the construction that will start soon in Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios.
No, we’re talking about some big policy changes. One of the BIGGEST changes, though, is a new perk Disney just started offering to visitors staying at Disney World hotels. This perk gets you one free day at Disney World’s water parks on your arrival day. However, this new perk has started to create some BIG complications at those parks.
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
