food IS a theme park
Buckle up, folks. Disney decided to choose this week to keep surprising us! OVER AND OVER.
Magic Kingdom
Pretty much every day this week had at least one surprise. From ride testing to restaurant news to a permanent dinner show closure, we’re feeling the unexpected vibe this week. So come along as we recap everything you might not know!
One of the most iconic snacks in Disneyland is the Churro. And we just found a NEW flavor that you’ve simply got to try.
Classic Disneyland Churro
The classic Disneyland churro is famous in its own right, but Disneyland is consistently pushing the envelope with this iconic snack with fun flavors like Sour Cherry, Bananas Foster, and Toffee! But we think we’ve found the KING of flavored churros at Disneyland, and its secret is this — MARSHMALLOW.
There are a lot of BIG things coming soon to Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
Whether it’s makeovers to the resort hotels, new roller coasters, or dining options that we can’t wait to try, there’s a lot on the horizon for the vacation destination. However, the thing that we may have been waiting on the longest is the Tron Coaster in Magic Kingdom…and today it hit a HUGE milestone!
Can you ever have enough Minnie Ears?! We think not!
So. Many. Ears.
Seriously though, it’s hard to resist buying a ton of pairs when Disney has been releasing SO many new designs. We’ve seen Orange Bird Ears, Alice in Wonderland Ears, Limoncello Ears, Pixar Ears, and more. And now, a design we recently saw in the parks is available online!
What’s better than getting a Mickey Mouse themed collection every month? Getting a Mickey Mouse themed collection inspired by a Disney Parks attraction every month!
Mickey Mouse!!
For every month in 2022, Disney will be releasing a new Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction drop! Similar to the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction collection from 2020, every month we’ll get new Mickey merch inspired by Disney rides! We already got a sneak peek of what January’s collection is gonna be, and after a couple months of waiting, the collection is finally here!
TRON Lightcycle / Run has been under construction for years at Magic Kingdom in Disney World.
Still a work in progress
We’ve been tracking its steady progress, and recently saw parts of the canopy go up, but we still don’t know when the ride will open. We recently got a closer look at the progress taking place on the ride, and now Disney has released another new video showing the next phase of ride testing!
Even in the most magical place on earth, things can go awry!
Tomorrowland
Attractions can malfunction, equipment can break, and the occasional pileup can happen, too! On a recent trip to the Magic Kingdom, we noticed that there was something going on over at a popular Tomorrowland attraction and decided to investigate. Let’s see what we could find!
“I kept dreaming of a world I thought I’d never see. And then one day…I got in.”
We’ve been waiting for the Tron ride FOREVER
That line from Tron: Legacy could very well sum up how we feel about the TRON Lightcycle Run ride coming to Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom. Construction continues on the ride, and we’ve been following its progress for what seems like FOREVER, but today, we’ve got an update for you!
Ride closures happen pretty regularly in Disney World, and today is no different.
Tower of Terror temporarily closed
We can often see rides go down for technical difficulties, weather, or unknown reasons. But, they do usually reopen later in the day if they’re able to. Today, we saw two popular rides shut down in Magic Kingdom and the fire department responded.
Crowds are something you usually have to deal with when visiting Disney World.
Crowds in Magic Kingdom
We usually see the biggest around Spring Break, the summer, and the holidays. They contribute to long wait times for rides and food, and sometimes even merchandise! But, there are some times of the year that are less crowded than others. We usually think of right now (late January) as one of the least crowded times of the year in the parks, but that is definitely NOT the case today in Disney World!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
