food IS a theme park
I never knew I needed something SO bad until I saw this.
Muppet Watches!
Oris, a watch brand, is teaming up with the Muppets to create the best-watched we have ever seen in our lives. These are going to be the ultimate gifts for Muppet lovers in your life, or for yourself because they’re that good.
We may be closing the books on 2025, but Disney still found time to cram in a few big announcements!
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
From Olaf robots to Disney Parks expansion updates, Disney has kept us on our toes the past several weeks. In fact, it’s been a major news year altogether — especially at Disney World. We’ve said hello to new offerings, goodbye to park staples, and a December announcement revealed that we’ll be saying BOTH hello AND goodbye to versions of a popular Disney World roller coaster!
HUGE news out of Disney’s Hollywood Studios! We now know when Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster will be closing for its refurbishment.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
Disney has announced that the current version of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith will close on March 2nd, 2026, to make way for the new Muppets overlay! That means that your last day to ride Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith is March 1st, 2026.
It’s time to play the music; it’s time to light the lights — er, well, okay, it’s not entirely time yet, but we’re just too excited about the Muppets retheme of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

While no official closing date has been announced yet, Disney has confirmed that Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets will open in summer 2026. Not only that, but they’ve confirmed that there will be a brand-new Scooter animatronic — and they’ve teased that there could potentially be more.
I’d be lying if I said tears weren’t shed when MuppetVision was given its final show date. While not everything was quickly forgotten, it’s hard not to feel excited for the new Muppet roller coaster in Hollywood Studios.

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith is being transformed into Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets (can we all agree we’re just going to call it rock ‘n’?), and it’s coming in hot summer 2026. Disney released new concept art, and we’re going through all the details you won’t want to miss.
Disney has access to so many different intellectual properties, from Fox to Star Wars, Pixar to Marvel, it’s easy to lose track of them all.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Perhaps one of the most overlooked and underappreciated, and dare we say, hidden gems of the Disney IP portfolio is The Muppets.
There are a ton of things that you can collect as a Disney fan, like Minnie ears, Spirit Jerseys, or designer bags.
Orchid Ears
Another popular item people collect are Wishables! We’ve seen so many different Wishables collections, from the Disney Princesses to The Lion King to The Incredibles. And now, one popular collection has made its way over to Disney World!
Avid Disney collectors are probably already very familiar with the adorable Disney Wishables.
So many cute ones to choose from!
With themes like Peter Pan, Cars, Star Wars, The Incredibles, and even Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room, there’s a Wishable plush for just about everyone. We just learned that a new Disney Wishables collection is coming SOON, and we’re sharing everything we know so far!
We have seriously been enjoying the beginning of the holiday season at Disney World. There is really only one word we can use to describe it…MAGICAL.
Holiday Mickey and Minnie Cavalcade
And sure, that’s a word that gets thrown around a lot when it comes to Disney World, but after you see the photos and videos we took today, we think you’ll agree that it’s the truth!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party may be canceled this year, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t getting ALL kinds of holiday entertainment all around Disney World!
Toy Soldiers in Magic Kingdom
Holiday cavalcades are coming, Santa is headed to Disney Springs (via boat!), and a holiday scavenger hunt will be available for you to enjoy in Disney Springs. But today we spotted a holiday character interaction we didn’t expect to see at all!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
