Disney has finally announced the dates for these important character dining CHANGES happening in Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2024!

Disney World’s character dining restaurants are some of the most popular places to eat in the parks because they’re character meet-and-greet experiences and tasty meals rolled into one. One of these restaurants in Hollywood Studios actually changes themes a few times a year, and now we have the dates for two upcoming changes.
Well, it certainly has been another exciting week in Disney World, hasn’t it?
We managed to get a sneak peek at the new Country Bear Jamboree show and we’re still singing some of those songs in our heads. We also had a chance to try a GLITTERY new coffee drink in Disney Springs. Disney also teased us with a familiar treat that was a LIE (okay, we’re over it, but still…). We’re also celebrating 15 years of DFB, which is a HUGE deal. BUT we’re still keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus and checking them for updates, and we’ve got even more changes this week.
Get ready to put on your cowboy hats and boots for a wild, country musical!
This week two Disney World attractions are reopening — the DVC lounge in the Imagination Pavilion in EPCOT on July 13th AND the Country Bear Musical Jamboree in Magic Kingdom! This means only one show will remain closed in Disney World for now. Find out what will all be closed on your vacation to the parks this coming week below.
Happy Holidays! Okay, okay, we know we’re a little early, but is it ever REALLY too early to look forward to the holiday season in Disney World?
We think not! That’s why we’ve been getting excited about this year’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom (and tickets are on sale now), as well as the return of Jollywood Nights in Disney’s Hollywood Studios for its second year. We’ve been learning more about this year’s Jollywood Nights, but now we’ve got a first look at the exclusive merchandise you’ll be able to get at the party!
If there’s anything we’ve learned here at Disney Food Blog over the last 15 years, we LOVE to talk about two very different things — food and abandoned Disney World places. We consider it a true treat when we can talk at length about one particular thing that is able to combine the two.

Hollywood Studios
While it’s true that Disney World restaurants are rolling out all the time, it’s always sad to see them close their doors for a final bow. It stings even more when one of those beloved restaurants helped launch our food reviews here at DFB, AND unknowingly at the time, helped us lay the foundation of what you know and trust about us today.

As Disney fans, we go to Disney World as often as we can. While we have reporters in the park every single day of the year to bring you all the up-to-date information, many of us on the DFB team don’t live in Florida. But we still head to the parks multiple times a year.
And though we have been to the parks a TON of times, even we forget to take our own advice sometimes. Well, my last trip proved to me that I’m not Super Woman, and a day in the parks can be tougher than you think. So learn from my mistakes and follow these six tips for a more relaxing and easier Disney World vacation.
It’s hard to think ahead to the holidays when we’re in the middle of the summer and it is SO hot in Florida.
But we’re dreaming ahead to slightly cooler nights, holiday snacks, holiday decorations in Disney World, and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom. We’re also looking forward to Jollywood Nights in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and, well, we’ve got a BIG update about both events: how much they’re going to cost this year!
Extra, extra, read all about it! Seriously, we’re sure Disney World hasn’t had a wink of sleep because they’ve dropped so many new updates this week. If you’ve missed out, this is your chance to catch up!

Magic Kingdom
I’m back again with another round of WHAT’S NEW UPDATES AT DISNEY WORLD, a rundown on all the epic news and updates that happened at Disney World this past week. This week, we got the 4-1-1 on a NEW addition to Hollywood Studios, a snack MIRACLE at Magic Kingdom, and a chance to preview a highly-anticipated attraction before anyone else! Are y’all ready? Let’s go! [Read more…]
There are hundreds of places to grab a bite to eat in and around Disney World!
Each of Disney’s hotels offers at least one or more restaurants for you to stop by to enjoy during your stay. But every now and then, these restaurants will close for refurbishment. It’s important to stay up to date on which places will be available and which won’t be while you’re on vacation. Speaking of which, one Disney World food court has partially closed!
