We are SO excited to be here at the party, enjoying all the trick-or-treating (candy for DAYS, y’all), the special characters that we can see ONLY during the party, the exclusive entertainment, and the exclusive party snacks. But there’s one very important thing you’ll need if you plan on attending the party, and that’s the official Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party map.
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is coming up SOON.
D23
This event sold out quickly, and will feature appearances and talks from Disney execs, celebrities, Imagineers, and so much more. Disney often drops MAJOR announcements during these events, which is why they’re so popular. We’ll be bringing you the biggest news from the major panels this year, and we’ve officially got the FULL map and guide for the event!
A “new” park requires a new map.
EPCOT
Maps have LONG been an integral part of the Disney theme park experience. Some of the initial concept art for the original “Mickey Mouse Park” that would eventually turn into Disneyland was done in a map format. A decade later, when Walt and Roy Disney were trying to secure investors, Walt had Imagineer and artist Herb Ryman design several pieces of concept art — including a map — to pitch the project. From the moment Disneyland opened two years later, physical maps were both a cherished souvenir and an important part of a guest’s day. That still holds true today as we’re sure you often consult physical and app-based maps when maneuvering around Disney’s theme parks, which is why an updated map is always a big deal.
It is an exciting day at Disney World! There are lots of new changes debuting including the beginning of the 30th Anniversary Celebration of The Lion King at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, a new meet and greet at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and the grand opening of CommuniCore Hall & Plaza in EPCOT.
The EPCOT map got a big update!
We had the opportunity to get a sneak peek at this new space last night, and now the CommuniCore Hall and Plaza area is finally open for everyone TODAY.

Happy 100th, Disney!
The park is hosting the Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary, Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana has officially opened, and a new park map has debuted. The new park map has some additions that were to be expected — descriptions and illustrations of the new attraction, along with an icon to mark the new Moana meet-and-greet. But one tiny detail has us wondering if Disney is confirming something big about a dining location! [Read more…]
EPCOT’s massive transformation is almost complete!
EPCOT
Disney shared that the overhaul would be complete by December 2023, and we’ve already seen some major changes over the last few months. Most notably — Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana has officially opened today. Along with this new attraction opening, Disney released a NEW map for the park — come check it out!
A lot has changed in Disney World, and even more changes are on the way.
Magic Kingdom
A new ride recently opened in Magic Kingdom. New restaurants are coming to Disney’s BoardWalk Inn and Disney Springs. Splash Mountain has closed forever to be reimagined into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure — and as a result, the My Disney Experience app has changed.
Something a little sad is happening in Disney World.
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
The 50th Anniversary Celebration is finally coming to an end. We’ve already seen a lot of the 50th decor disappearing from the parks, and we’re wondering what’s going to happen to Cinderella Castle once it’s over. We’re also mourning the loss of some of the best 50th anniversary snacks. But change is what Disney World is all about, and a NEW change has signaled that this party is officially over.
