By Leave a Comment

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?

By 3 Comments

In 2024, we got BIG news for Disney’s Hollywood Studios on future projects and we are so excited about what is to come.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

In case you missed it, they are adding a BRAND NEW THEMED LAND featuring our favorite monsters from MONSTERS, INC.!  Disney recently revealed the location for the new area, and we’re going to have to say goodbye to the Muppets Courtyard. But don’t worry, they are just moving them to a Muppets-themed Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. While we don’t know the exact details of the new Monsters, Inc. Land, from Disney’s concept art, we can make some guesses. Get ready because we’re doing a deep dive into the art to gain some insight into potential new Disney restaurants coming.

Disney Confirmed 2 Restaurants Are Permanently Closing in Hollywood Studios

By 28 Comments

Just in case you didn’t know, Disney World recently announced they would be permanently closing a classic section of Hollywood Studios.

Muppets Courtyard

Yes, we’re talking about the fact that we’ll have to say goodbye to the entirety of Muppets Courtyard! Now of course the main focus since the announcement is our lament over losing the iconic Muppets 3D show, but there’s more to Muppets Courtyard than just that one attraction. There are restrooms, shops, and more that will need to either be re-themed or just permanently shut down. And while we’re at it, how come no one is talking about the fact that with this announcement that Monsters, Inc. land is taking over the soon-to-be-former Muppet Courtyard area, Disney has also confirmed that two (2) restaurants in the area are permanently closing?!

I Have Been Studying Disney World Concept Art for Years, and Even I am Baffled by This New Photo

By 1 Comment

We have gotten a look at a lot of new concept art lately.

Pueblo Esperanza Model

There are so many new additions coming to Disney World over the next few years, including eight new rides! Recent concept art and even models include a look into these new projects, like the Tropical Americas-themed land coming to Animal Kingdom, Pueblo Esperanza. We also have a few concept art photos for the latest Disney Villains land and Cars-themed land coming to Magic Kingdom. This is super exciting, but we have started to learn to take concept art with a grain of salt because, sometimes, concept art does not mimic the final product. We are looking at you, CommuniCore Hall!
