food IS a theme park
Yeehaw! A new snack item is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Toy Story Land
Woody’s Lunch Box has been full of Andy’s favorite snacks for a long time, but now it’s time to throw in a treat for Sid!
I literally get paid to go to Disney World for my job, so it’s safe to say that I spend more time in theme parks than the average person.
Our girl Lydia in the parks
I’m in the parks at least once a week, clocking tens of thousands of steps, eating theme park snacks, battling the Central Florida weather, and taking seemingly one million pictures and videos while doing all of the above. It’s an absolutely spectacular job that I wouldn’t trade for any other career…but sometimes those theme parks can be BRUTAL. And recently, one Central Florida park nearly took me out!
A big Lightning Lane change is coming to Disney World!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
I visit Disney World frequently, and I have been wondering when Hollywood Studios would implement this specific Lightning Lane change. Well, that time has finally come, and it will start next week. Let’s take a look at the details!
Holiday parties at Disney World are already magical, but this year one is letting you in on the fun even earlier.
Jollywood Nights
Disney’s Jollywood Nights is returning for the 2025 holiday season, and while we’re already excited for the music, snacks, and rare characters, there’s a big change coming to the schedule. In 2024, guests with event tickets could step into Disney’s Hollywood Studios starting at 6 PM. This year, you’ll get in 30 minutes earlier — and if you know Disney like I know Disney, that half hour can be gold. Let’s break down what’s new for the 2025 season, including this fresh early-entry perk.
Heading to Disney World this week? First of all, I’m jealous, and secondly, something strange is happening this week that I’ve rarely seen in the parks.
Hollywood Studios
Over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, park hours are changing pretty drastically for one day this week. If you’re heading to the park this weekend, you need to pay VERY close attention to the park’s closing time, because it’s HOURS earlier than usual.
We’ve been known to host a pity party, a sobfest, or a complete crashout a time or two in Disney World.

And if you just seriously need a place to cry it out, we’ve got you. We’ve made this list for Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, but now we present to you the best places to cry in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
We don’t want you to be caught off guard by closures at Disney World! It can be easy to lose track of all the closure announcements recently, but we are here to help!

We don’t want any disappointed kiddos (or adults) due to not knowing about a planned ride closure. Of course, you can’t anticipate ALL the closures, and you might run across unplanned closures during your Disney World vacation, but we want you to be as prepared as possible. Let’s take a look at what is scheduled to be closed this week!
Disney just brought back one of its biggest hotel perks—and fans are already frustrated.
Early entry sign!
Early Entry is sticking around for 2026 at Disney World, which sounds like great news for resort guests… until you realize it’s still only 30 minutes. A lot of longtime Disney-goers were hoping for the return of a full hour. So while this perk technically came back, many feel it’s only halfway there—and we get why. Let’s break it all down—and share a few tried-and-true tips so you can actually make the most of those 30 minutes (even if it should be 60).
A transformation is coming very soon to Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Hollywood Studios
Hollywood Studios is about to go through a major transformation over the next few months. With Monsters Inc. Land, a new Smugglers Run mission, a Muppets takeover at Rock ‘n Rollercoaster, and the new Animation Courtyard, there is going to be a lot happening. Get ready to see construction begin, and, yes, a big new construction crane at Hollywood Studios!
It’s been almost two months since the official closure of Muppets Courtyard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This quirky, kitschy section of Disney’s Hollywood Studios closed to make way for a new Monsters, Inc. land (with Disney’s first suspended roller coaster!).
Muppets Courtyard behind walls
While the land is behind construction walls, you can see the demolition progress and construction depending on where you stand. During a recent visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we noticed that one building is now COMPLETELY gone, so we’re officially saying goodbye now.
