Got a second? Need a little bit of a break from the “real” world? Wondering what’s been happening in the world of Disney this week? Welcome, friend, you’re in just the right spot.
This week we got some really big Disney news — from menu updates to Genie+ changes. So let’s not wait any longer! Here are 5 big Disney news updates you NEED to know about.
If you’re visiting Disney World soon, you’ll get to see a LOT of new things. The Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind coaster opened last month, and the updated Finding Nemo show in Disney’s Animal Kingdom is now open as well! But those aren’t the only new offerings in the parks.
Disney is consistently coming out with new treats, eats, and menus for all of the restaurants and snack locations around the parks. We recently took a look at some new treats coming out for Father’s Day this weekend, but now we have even MORE news for you when it comes to Disney’s dining scene. And some of these announcements are BIG. [Read more…]
Dining at Disney World is DIFFERENT these days.
Some restaurants are still closed, some restaurants have seen BIG menu overhauls, and some restaurants are reopening, but with some significant price increases. Even at the restaurants that are open, there have been some changes. Some former character dining spots aren’t featuring characters right now, and some former buffet locations are serving family-style or prix fixe meals. Over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, one restaurant that has been a little bit different lately will be seeing a BIG change soon!
Some Disney World restaurants have a totally different vibe depending on the time of year.
Hollywood & Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios features seasonal dining opportunities with new themes and costumes for the characters, with special holiday themes and characters appearing throughout your meal. Since it reopened after Disney World’s 2020 closure, we’ve been LOVING this restaurant, which currently features a prix fixe menu versus their previous buffet selection. We’ve visited for Minnie’s Halloween Dine, Minnie’s Holiday Dine, and even the Disney Junior Play ‘n Dine breakfast, and now we’re taking you along with us to give Minnie’s Springtime Dine a try!
It has been a BUSY few days at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
With new merchandise, character meet and greets changing, and some ongoing construction, there’s a lot to check out. Thankfully, we were there to take note of all the news and pass it along to you guys — this way you won’t miss ANYTHING from Hollywood Studios before your trip!
Ah, Disney’s Hollywood Studios — home to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Toy Story Land, and more unique offerings!

We love visiting our favorite toys!
Speaking of unique — guests of Hollywood & Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios may have noticed an odd blob in a window above the restaurant. Today we noticed that the odd, barely-recognizable shape has been fixed, but have you noticed this detail before?
Hollywood & Vine at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is known for many things: American cuisine, fun theming, but most of all, it’s known for fun character meals! Whether it’s the Disney Junior Play ‘n’ Dine Breakfast or one of Minnie’s Seasonal Dines, you’re in for a treat when you stop by Hollywood & Vine.
Speaking of Minnie’s Seasonal Dine, we’ve got dates for the first three events of the year at Hollywood & Vine!
The holidays are here, which means that you’re probably enjoying some delicious festive food, whether in a Disney park or at home!
We just finished up with one giant feast, but you know we’re already looking forward to the next one. To help you get ready for a fantastic Christmas Day meal — and put a little Disney spin on it at the same time — we’ve got a BUNCH of Disney recipes that work together to create the best Christmas feast ever.

It’s the holiday season, and there are a ton of exciting happenings in Disney World!
The Very Merriest After Hours event has kicked off at Magic Kingdom and the parks are decked out from top to bottom in seasonal decor.
