food IS a theme park
In case you missed it, Disney World is building a new hotel!

Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge is set to open sometime in 2027. This will be the newest Magic Kingdom resort area hotel, and we have been tracking its progress since it was originally announced in 2018 (under a different name). Recently, we hopped on a boat to check out the resort’s latest updates, and we’re bringing you with us!
We have some construction updates on Disney World’s newest resort.

Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge is the newest hotel right by Magic Kingdom, which is set to open sometime in 2027.
Water parks are a great option during the heat of the summer. You can cool off in the clear waters and race down water slides.
Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon
Disney World has two different water parks: Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and Disney’s Blizzard Beach (currently closed for the season). We always love a water park day, but we were curious about what goes on behind the scenes. Are there water park horror stories from people who have worked there?
There is usually something closed in Disney World.
Voyage of the Little Mermaid will soon become “The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure”
Sometimes rides need to be refurbished, or they are reimagined into new attractions. But in the past, Disney has closed multiple attractions over the years and just…never done anything else with them. Some of these attractions we’ve seen finally get a reopening date, but for others, we’re wondering if they’ll ever see guests again.
The words “disturbing” and “the Disney Parks” are hardly ever used together in the same sentence — but we’re here to change that!
Ominous sky over Magic Kingdom
The Disney Parks usually provide plenty of wonderfully joyful memories, but that doesn’t mean they’re all sunshine and rainbows. In fact, when you consider the Parks’ history and behind-the-scenes happenings, you’d be forgiven if your mind starts to wander. Sometimes, those thoughts can lead to disturbing realizations.
Disney has completed many successful projects and has tons more on the horizon.
Journey of Water in EPCOT is one of Disney’s recently completed projects
However, there are a few projects that Disney scrapped completely and just…hoped everyone would forget about. What are these projects and what were they supposed to become? Let’s dive into four of them that WE didn’t forget about.
It’s no secret that Disney World is constantly changing and adapting to the times!
Disney World has been through some big changes!
Over the last 50 years, we’ve seen updated rides, changed restaurants, the addition of new hotels, and even new theme parks get built. As technology and culture evolve, Disney World does its best to keep up, and so we get theme parks that are VERY different from what they were a few decades ago. But what about those guests who haven’t been in a few decades — what do you need to know about the changes? Well, today we’re breaking it down for you!
Disney’s history as a company goes back so many years that there are PLENTY of stories to uncover about Disney Parks, Disney Movies, and the man himself, Walt Disney.
These mysteries even have Goofy perplexed!
And there are a lot of questions we have about Disney-related things — like why is there a terrifying Jack in the Box at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort? Or why did that scary clown pool slide ever exist at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn? Or why did Disney ever think The Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management was a good idea? We’re digging into Disney’s biggest…unsolved mysteries (dun dun DUN!).
In case you haven’t noticed, it’s spooky season at Disney World. The fall and Halloween decorations are up, you can now buy Halloween costumes online, and Boo Bash After Hours Parties are well underway!
Mickey at Hollywood and Vine during Halloween
So how about some spooky stories to get you in the right mood for the holiday? Even better — how about some spooky stories from Disney World?
Disney World is the place to let go if you wanna become a kid again (yes, sometimes we get more excited about seeing Mickey than our kids do).
Dole Whip
But, there are still a few rules that you have to follow in the parks! That means no running, no jumping out of ride vehicles, no stealing your siblings’ Dole Whips, and the like. (K, maybe we made up that last one, WE’RE ONLY HUMAN!)
