food IS a theme park
It’s an exciting day at Disney World!

But that’s not the only NEW TRON thing coming to Magic Kingdom. First, a new snack kiosk has opened with some very interesting treats. We previously told you about a new pop-up shop coming to Tomorrowland, too, and here’s your reminder that it opens TOMORROW.

If you’re planning a Disney World trip, you need to be ready for the unexpected!
Magic Kingdom
Things like bad weather, illness, or random ride closures can impact your trip in unexpected ways. But one of the most surprising things that can happen to guests in the parks is a ride evacuation — and today we spotted one in progress in Disney World!
We have waited almost five years for the opening of TRON / Lightcycle Run since it started construction!
TRON Lightcycle / Run is open!
So, we were more than a little happy when it was announced that there would be a soft opening before its official opening on April 4th, 2023. We’ve already taken a ride on the grid during a preview event, but now guests can hop on and test out this coaster before it opens next month. But if you’re planning to ride it soon, there’s something we need to WARN you about!
The 2023 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts may have come and gone, but that doesn’t mean we have to wait until next year to enjoy some pieces from some of our favorite Disney artists.

This year, artist Joey Chou returned to the Festival of the Arts with some colorful artwork that added brightness and a touch of whimsy to an already fun, Figment-filled Odyssey building. And now, his work has found its way to a NEW set of pieces — and this time, you can pick them up in Disney Springs!
TRON Lightcycle / Run isn’t even officially open and yet Magic Kingdom is all abuzz with excitement!
Tomorrowland Launch Depot
Disney shared that the attraction would be opening early for a soft opening, and the new snack stand nearby is open (and delicious!) too. Not only that, but an area that was previously blocked off to guests is now open!
We’ve been talking about the hype that is TRON Lightcycle / Run for a while now. Some Disney World parkgoers have already been on it due to previews, but soon, the public will be able to finally hop on a Lightcycle to go on a race around the Grid.

Although the official opening date for TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom is actually April 4th, Disney recently announced that the ride would have a soft opening on March 20th (and as a result, we noticed park pass reservations for that date filling up). So this is your reminder that you need to get up early tomorrow morning if you want to ride this new attraction.
The opening on TRON Lightcycle / Run is so soon!
TRON Lightcycle / Run by night.
On April 4th, the new coaster in Magic Kingdom officially opens, and we are pumped! We’re getting NEW Tron-themed food, tons of fun TRON merchandise, and a new interactive experience. (And possibly even a new character sighting on opening day?). But one of the coolest things we’ll get to experience is the lit canopy that shines in blues and oranges at night, representing Team Blue and Team Orange, while the lightcycles speed by underneath. So does that mean that TRON is a much better experience at night? We’ve been lucky enough to ride a few times so we are bringing you the details.
Is all this TRON Lightcycle/Run news getting you excited for April 4th when the coaster wil finally open?!
Whew — what a day for TRON news! In the past few days, we have reported on the FULL MENU for the TRON snack cart, the NEW interactive TRON experience, and even some of the upcoming TRON merchandise! Now we have a NEW LOOK at a ton of TRON souvenirs!
