food IS a theme park
Tomorrow’s going to be a sad day for Tokyo DisneySea, and we’re already mentally preparing, even though we’re thousands of miles away.
Aquatopia
Back in April, the park announced that they’d be permanently closing one of their most popular attractions. It’s a ride unlike any other — you truly can’t find anything even close to it in any other Disney park, and now it’s about to be gone for good. Yes, tomorrow, we need to say a permanent farewell to Aquatopia.
We might be obsessed with Disney Parks and go to Disney World and Disneyland almost every day, but we love other theme parks, too! We’ve recently spent time at Dollywood (which we loved), as well as Universal Kids Resort. We also visit Universal Orlando quite a bit (and we’re obsessed with Epic Universe).

Well, one of the most popular parks in the U.S. is Hersheypark (and who can’t love a theme park based around a chocolate company?). However, if you’ll be visiting Hersheypark soon, we’ve got a warning: a popular ride will be permanently closing there soon.
Yes, you read that right, ANOTHER closure has hit Disney World. Disney Springs has been swamped with closures this year, like Sprinkles Cupcakes, Francesca’s, and Shore.
Disney Springs
Now, another store has formally closed its doors, and we only got a week’s warning!
Disney Springs has seen lots of closures over the years, but this year has seen some devastating permanent closures. First, it was Sprinkles Cupcakes, then Francesca’s, and Shore closed on May 1st, and now another popular clothing store will be added to the list!
Johnston & Murphy
This new, sudden store closure is happening fast. Johnston & Murphy, a popular men’s and women’s clothing spot, will have its last day of operations this week!
We are in the era of changes at Disney World, and it continues today with a permanent store closure at Disney Springs.
Disney Springs!
On March 29th of this year, Disney Springs saw the permanent closure of the women’s apparel store, Francesca’s. Now, another clothing store was hit with a permanent closure at the Disney shopping and dining district, and it’s not ending there!
We are definitely in the era of change at Walt Disney World. Several ride updates are on the horizon, and new lands are being developed as we speak in the theme parks!
Disney Springs
Not even Disney Springs, Disney’s shopping and dining district, is immune to the changes. This year alone, 3 stores have closed permanently, and we’ve got all of the info right here, so you’re not caught unaware!
There’s a NEW coaster coming to Universal Studios Florida in 2027!
Universal Orlando
Universal Orlando just announced that its own version of Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift will be opening in 2027 to replace the former Rip Ride Rockit roller coaster. But with this announcement comes news of a big closure, as well!
If you’re new to Disney, this fandom is always changing! Even if you aren’t new to this culture, there is always something new going on, and it can be a lot to keep up with.
Cinderella Castle
The theme parks are changing a lot right now. Disney is also in the process of developing a new theme park! From Disney World to Disneyland and across the globe, it can be a lot to keep up with. That’s why each week, we do a round-up of the biggest news from the company we love. Even during Christmas, Disney never stops, so let’s talk about what you missed this week.
There are so many closures hitting Disney World, it’s left us wondering, “What’s even open?”
Magic Kingdom
Over in Magic Kingdom, several classic buildings were recently demolished, Buzz Lightyear is getting a major makeover, and a huge expansion is in the works. Now, another big change (to us) has hit the park, and we didn’t even know it was coming!
2025 has seen seveal permanent closures come to Walt Disney World.
Rivers of America
Some of most upsetting to some Disney fans came in July, when an iconic, day one portion of the Magic Kingdom closed to make way for the upcoming Cars-themed Piston Peak sub-land coming to Frontierland.
