Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable. Sure, we can look at past data to get an estimate of the crowd levels in Disney World, but you never know what may happen from year to year.

While June 2026 didn’t see any major Disney World openings like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or the Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets like the months before it, the halfway mark of the year still saw some major announcements at the “Most Magical Place on Earth.”
Cinderella Castle
From new details on a highly anticipated land to new restaurants, shops, festival entertainment lineups, and more, there are a lot of Disney announcements to sift through in June.
Disney World might be the Most Magical Place on Earth, but it’s also known for being one of the cleanest places on Earth. Disney brings out cleaners every night to dust off park icons like Cinderella Castle and Spaceship Earth.
Magic Kingdom
But the weather this weekend has other plans – Disney World might be COVERED in dust soon! Here’s everything you need to know if you’re headed to the parks this weekend.
Pete’s Silly Sideshow, the Magic Kingdom meet-and-greet area for Minnie Mouse, Donald and Daisy Duck, and Goofy, has been closed since January 4th. The abrupt closure was due to structural repairs, and 6 months later, Disney finally announced a reopening date of Saturday, June 27th.

But when we were visiting Fantasyland today, we saw that Pete’s Silly Sideshow opened a whole day early! If you’re at Magic Kingdom today, you can meet Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy inside the building again!
A LOT of new things are coming to Disney World this summer. But out of all the fun newness, one of the things we were most excited to experience at Disney Springs is LEVEL99, an interactive, challenge-based social space for adults featuring 63 life-sized physical and mental games and challenges, opening on June 29th.
Pineapple Banana Painkiller
In addition to the games and challenges, LEVEL99 features a central two-story bar with craft food offerings. The two-story bar is encircled by glowing neon lights visible throughout the venue, making the food an integral part of the atmosphere. So obviously, we had to try the whole menu to see if the food lives up to the hype!
