food IS a theme park
Today may be the final day for DINOSAUR’s final day in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but it also marks only ONE month left until another iconic ride closes in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith
We know, it’s hard to believe, but it’s TRUE. In just one month, one of the most well-known and popular rides in the park will be no more. You’ve only got one more month to ride the current version of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster!
Another part of Disney World will be closing for good this week. It has been more than a year since the first round of closures started at DinoLand U.S.A. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This week, we have to say a final goodbye to this land. We have so many amazing memories in this area, and we are going to miss it!
We will miss you, Dinoland U.S.A.!
While the closure will make way for something new at Disney World, it is still a sad time to lose something that has brought so much happiness over the years. We will miss you greatly, DinoLand U.S.A.!
If you’re an avid Disney Food Blog reader, you know we’ve basically become construction experts at Hollywood Studios by now. Between the new Monsters, Inc land and the upcoming Walt Disney Studios, there’s so much news to cover. So when our bestie @bioreconstruct posted construction updates, we had to share!

The Walt Disney Studios Courtyard already has some new sidewalk construction and a temporary tent along the former Star Wars: Launch Bay. They finished the sidewalk along Disney Jr, which connects to the prettiest NEW trees!
Here at Disney Food Blog, we’re Disney experts. We go to Disney World every single day to find out what’s new. So when we rode one of our favorite Hollywood Studios rides recently, we were surprised to see something new!
Toy Story Mania
Toy Story Mania is part ride, part shooting game that takes you through Toy Story settings. It’s all 3D, so you’ll get a pair of glasses before you hop on. But when we went to grab some, we noticed something from one of our favorite closed attractions that’s being given a new life.
Dads, your Disney trip deserves better than winging it.
Mando and Grogu in Disney World
Every Disney trip has that one guy carrying the backpack, wrangling the stroller, and somehow producing sunscreen, snacks, and a phone charger out of thin air. If that’s you (or it’s about to be), this full list is your new best friend. Here’s everything a Disney Dad needs for a 2026 trip, so you can be the hero of the park day without the stress.
Character dining is one of those unique experiences that Disney fans simply love, so could Disney World be getting more soon?

Where else can you hug Mickey, snap photos with princesses, or exchange laughs with Winnie the Pooh, all without waiting in a standby line, while enjoying a meal? For many guests, character dining is a must-do, whether it’s a first visit or a tradition they book trip after trip. And with HUGE changes and expansions officially on the way to Disney World’s parks, it has us asking a big question: could these new lands and restaurants mean more character dining experiences in the future? Let’s take a closer look at what’s been announced and where our favorite characters might end up.
If you can only go to ONE Disney World restaurant in 2026…here’s the cheat code.
Breakfast at Boma
Some Disney meals are good…and then there are the ones that become core memories. Disney World has no shortage of great restaurants with exceptional eats, but ff you could only choose one restaurant to experience in 2026, there are a few that instantly come to mind capable of delivering unforgettable flavors, immersive theming, and that “wow” feeling that makes Disney dining so special.
Disney World can feel like one giant construction project right now, but we know that with construction, big things are on the horizon.

In 2026, Disney World is undergoing massive construction projects in three out of the four theme parks. We have been keeping a close eye on everything that is happening so we can bring you the most important updates. Here is everything you need to know about the latest updates for each of these projects around Disney World.
Here at Disney Food Blog, there’s only one thing we love more than Disney food – Disney drinks! Grabbing an iced refresher on a hot day is our favorite guilty pleasure. And since there’s a Starbucks in all four parks and Disney Springs, they keep our caffeine addiction going from rope drop to fireworks.
Caramel Protein Latte
A lot of people don’t know that the Disney Starbucks has the same customizable menu as the Starbucks in your neighborhood. Plus, Disney Parks’ Starbucks often keeps seasonal flavors like pumpkin or caramel brûlée in stock when your local Starbucks runs out (they still had pumpkin spice lattes on New Year’s Day). The sky’s the limit!
The Disney Skyliner closes today! This is one of our favorite modes of transportation, a skyway gondola that connects Disney World’s EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and resorts. It’s closing this week for routine maintenance.
Skyliner
The Disney Skyliner will be closed from January 25th to January 31st. Disney will provide alternate transportation for guests, notably complimentary buses, but there are even more transportation methods you can take. Here’s how to get around in the meantime!
