Be sure to check out our list of restaurants in the Magic Kingdom.
This is the Magic Kingdom treat that quietly steals the spotlight.
Cold Brew Float
While everyone rushes for the newest snacks, this under-the-radar float is delivering one of the most satisfying pick-me-ups in the park right now. If you’re juggling long park days, heat, and early mornings, this is exactly the kind of snack that pulls double duty. Here’s why Auntie Gravity’s Cold Brew Float deserves a spot on your must-try list.
After over a YEAR of waiting, we are closer than ever to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad reopening in Magic Kingdom!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad construction
The popular coaster has been closed for general refurbishment as well as some big upgrades! While we are seriously excited to finally hop back on the wildest ride in the wilderness, we won’t lie to you. A lot of Disney experts are SKIPPING Magic Kingdom on May 3rd, and we’re breaking down why right here!
A LOT is happening in Magic Kingdom right now. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin just recently reopened with some HUGE updates. A Villains Land is in the process of being constructed. A new Cars-themed expansion is being built in Frontierland.
Magic Kingdom
Well, a LOT of big changes are happening in Magic Kingdom as early as this summer. So if you’re looking to check out some new things in the park, this summer might be the perfect opportunity to do that. Let’s chat about these big changes!
Can 2026 seriously move any faster? How is it already May? It’s nuts that time is flying by this fast, but Disney World fans have a lot of reason to be excited about May. There’s a lot of stuff coming to Disney World, and we’re sharing it all with you.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
After being worked on for over a year, one of Magic Kingdom’s most popular attractions is reopening, and a ride at EPCOT is getting a brand-new overlay for a special celebration. All that, plus more, of what’s to come in May 2026.
There are a lot of ways to become memorable in Magic Kingdom. You can rope drop TRON. You can cry during Happily Ever After. You can spend $19 on a popcorn bucket and pretend that was always the plan.
Laugh Floor
Or…you can become That Guy at Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor.
The “Wildest Ride in the Wilderness” is about to return!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom
After a closure that began in January of 2025, the Magic Kingdom’s legendary E-Ticket coaster Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is scheduled to reopen on May 3rd with replaced tracks, new ride vehicles, and some “new magic,” including a new sequence that pays tribute to Disney history.
So it’s been a WEEK when it comes to Disney World news. In fact, we think it’s been mostly just a week of The Muppets, since we got a lot of NEW updates about Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Guinness Gelato
Now, don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the Muppets. But I also love Disney food, and that’s what I’m here to talk about. We spotted a TON of menu changes in Disney World restaurants this week, so we’re going to share them with you.
There are 25 closures across Disney World right now! Whether you’re headed to the theme parks or a resort, there’s likely a closure right now that could impact your trip.
Pluto riding Dumbo
Sounds like a lot? Don’t worry, we’ll keep it simple — here are all the closures you need to know about this upcoming week, along with all the most recent updates we have for each one!
Well…that Disney World perk didn’t last long.
Pirates of the Caribbean
We literally JUST talked about a brand-new perk that came to Disney World three days ago that would allow you to get FREE Lightning Lane at Magic Kingdom. Maybe the pirates stole that treasure back, or Disney just didn’t like the perk anymore; we really don’t know. All we know is that the perk has been DITCHED!
If you’re heading to the Magic Kingdom this May, there are some major changes you need to be prepared for.
