food IS a theme park
If you’re planning a trip to Disney World this summer, one popular Magic Kingdom ride could be opening soon (fingers crossed)!
Magic Kingdom
It has been a year of ride closures at Disney World as Disney prepares for many big changes in the future. The closures have been taking up so many headlines that the opening of this Magic Kingdom ride has gone under the radar. We think a popular ride could be opening very soon, and we have good reason to think that!
Okay, so Disneyland is practically ALWAYS getting new snacks…like ALL the time. Honestly, we wouldn’t blame you if you had trouble keeping up.
Disneyland Tomorrowland
Now, we’ve already made our way through a lot of the 70th Anniversary Celebration snacks (and found a few favorites), but there’s a new snack that just popped up in Tomorrowland, and well, Disney, you had us interested because it’s a French fry-based snack. We can’t turn down an excuse to eat potatoes, so we headed over to Galactic Grill to check it out. [Read more…]
With everything going on in Magic Kingdom right now, it’s hard to keep up with progress.
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin
Over in Frontierland, Disney is getting ready to permanently close Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island to start work on Piston Peak, a new Cars expansion. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is currently getting a massive refurbishment. In Tomorrowland, Astro Orbiter is getting put back together after a refurbishment. Meanwhile, another ride in Tomorrowland, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin will close in August for a big refurbishment, and we now have a permit that hints at some of the work to be done at this attraction.
Y’all…there are so many changes happening in Magic Kingdom that’s it’s HARD to keep up, but we’re trying.
Tomorrowland
For starters, we’re starting to see permits come in for work in the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island locations as Disney prepares to convert that into a Cars expansion in Frontierland (with two NEW rides!). Then, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is getting a MAJOR overhaul and will be closed for the rest of the year. PLUS a NEW Villains land will be going BEHIND Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at some point. That’s not all, though. A classic Tomorrowland attraction, Astro Orbiter, has been getting a bit of a facelift, too. Well, now we’re seeing signs of progress there. Let’s see what’s new!
Get ready, because it’s time for the Disneyland 70th Anniversary Celebration!
Disneyland Entrance and Train Station
As part of the festivities, there will be new ride additions, brand-new attractions, the return of fan-favorite parades, and so much more — like a whole lot of exciting entertainment. We’re talking fireworks, parades, shows, and a whole lot more.
Disney Loungeflys have to be among the top when it comes to the most popular Disney souvenirs!
So many Disney bags!
Whenever you’re at Disney World, one thing you’re guaranteed to see is a lot of Disney Loungeflys! It’s the perfect Disney souvenir for fans. Loungefly has many things in it’s inventory — from Mickey ears, to crossbody bags, to their famous and most popular item, mini backpacks. We just found a brand-new Loungefly mini backpack, and had to share it with you — because it is ADORABLE! [Read more…]
Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor in Magic Kingdom‘s Tomorrowland requires quite a bit of audience participation.
Laugh Floor
You are invited into the Laugh Floor to help fill up a canister with laughs. As monsters tell their jokes, they rely on audience members to help with the bit and generate more laughs. One of the biggest (or worst) honors, depending on who you ask, is to be “That Guy” during a show. If you have ever wanted to be “That Guy” or maybe have wanted to avoid the distinction, we are sharing our best tips to get picked!
A Disney World ride is working its way to reopening!
Tomorrowland!
Magic Kingdom’s Astro Orbiter has been closed since January 2025, but new permits filed with the Orange County Comptroller might indicate the ride’s reopening. The new permit details work involving “labor, materials, and/or electrical for construction.”
We are one step closer to getting to meet characters from Fantastic Four at Disneyland Resort!

While we already knew that Fantastic Four characters would be making their way to Tomorrowland at Disneyland Park, we recently spotted a casting call, which means we are getting closer to their official debut.
2025 will most likely be remembered as the year of closures at Disney World.
Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom
It can feel like closure announcements are coming left and right, and while it may not be ideal this year, the good news is that these closures mean we will have more to look forward to and enjoy in the future! Disney just announced that another Disney World attraction will be joining the closure lineup, but we feel that Disney fans will be pleased with this refurbishment.
