A massive change is coming to EPCOT in a few weeks!
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
An ultra-popular ride will close and be replaced with a brand-new version of the attraction on May 26th, and we’ve got all the details you need to know!
A LOT is going on in Disney’s Hollywood Studios right now. Not only is a brand new Monsters, Inc. land being built, but Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is getting a Muppets makeover, and Animation Courtyard is being reimagined into The Walt Disney Studios.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets
Now, work on all three projects is coming right along, but we have a HUGE update to share about two of these projects: Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets and The Walt Disney Studios. So let’s see what’s changed!

Soarin’ Across America is set to open in EPCOT on May 26th. This ride pays homage to the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America, and it features scenes from across the USA. But before it opens to the public, you may get a chance to preview the ride!
The day has finally arrived: we just had a chance to ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom. It’s been OVER a year since we last took a ride on the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness, and we’re so glad that it’s officially open to the public again.
Big Thunder is back in business!
So why the long closure? Well, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad got a series of MAJOR updates, the kind that take a while to put in place. Well, we’re going to show you how we reacted when we finally saw those changes for ourselves, so let’s go!
If you’ve ever wanted to go for a ride in an Iron Man suit (and, seriously, who doesn’t?) Disney is currently working on the next best thing.
Want to fly like Iron Man?
Disneyland is getting an unprecedented expansion to Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure, and that expansion will include two new rides, including Stark Flight Lab, which will simulate what a ride in Iron Man’s suit might be like. Well, thanks to KTLA, we now have a new look at that ride.
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable. Sure, we can look at past data to get an estimate of the crowd levels in Disney World, but you never know what may happen from year to year.
Tomorrow is the day we’ve been waiting for, and we can’t believe it’s finally here!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom closed in January 2025 for a massive refurbishment, and tomorrow it FINALLY reopens to the public! A year and a half is a long time to be closed, we know, but from what Disney has said, it sounds like the wait should be worth it.
In just a few days, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom is scheduled to finally reopen after over a year of being closed to get a MASSIVE update.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
We have literally been counting down the days until we could take a ride on the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness, and it’s almost here! Ahead of its reopening, construction walls are FINALLY starting to come down from around the ride, and today, we finally got a good look at the ride’s entrance for the first time since construction on it started. YES!
If you’re heading to Disneyland next week, we’ve got a word of warning about one of the park’s classic rides.
Pirates of the Caribbean Disneyland
Now, it’s no secret that fans say Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland is WAY better than Pirates of the Caribbean in Disney World, and if you were looking forward to riding this classic attraction, we’ve got some bad news: the ride will be closing for a lengthy refurbishment starting on May 4th. Ouch.
