food IS a theme park

Moonlight Magic
We just got information about the 2025 dates, PLUS new dates have been added for THIS year. We have all the details for you, so keep reading!
Disney just announced a brand-new villains show coming to Hollywood Studios!

This new show will be replacing Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy in the Sunset Showcase building along Sunset Boulevard. While we’re excited for this new villains-themed show, it’s not the only new show coming to Hollywood Studios. A while back Disney announced a new The Little Mermaid show replacing the old Voyage of the Little Mermaid show in Animation Courtyard. It’s been years since this old show closed, and months since we’ve heard any news about the new one. So, we’re starting to wonder when will this new show finally open?
Do you visit the water parks when you go to Disney World?
Blizzard Beach
Disney World is home to both Blizzard Beach Water Park and Typhoon Lagoon Water Park. The parks generally rotate being open throughout the year so that one of them is available for visitors at a time. They’re a great way to enjoy a slightly more relaxing day than you would have at one of the theme parks, and if you’re a water park fan, we’ve got good news for you!
Can you believe it’s already September? The first week of September will continue bringing us closures around Disney World, but now we know when a popular spot will reopen!
Blizzard Beach Water Park
Disney recently announced that Blizzard Beach will once again be reopening this winter! It does seem appropriate that a water park named “Blizzard Beach” will be open in the coolest months of the year but don’t worry, you can still have a fun time in the warm water. Find out when Blizzard Beach will officially open along with what other closures will affect Disney World this week below!
We’ve got big news for Disney World water park fans!
Blizzard Beach
A huge hotel perk is in store for water parks in 2025, and we’ve even spotted some signs that Disney is hard at work getting things ready for the winter season. Yep, at least one Disney World water park stays open year-round, and in fact, Blizzard Beach is entirely winter-themed. This water park has been closed since March, but now we officially know when it will reopen!
We’re used to rides closing from time to time in Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
The rides may close for extended re-theming and construction or for temporary refurbishments. Peter Pan’s Flight recently reopened EARLY in Magic Kingdom with an all-new scene, and now this week, another opening day ride in Magic Kingdom will be closing for its own refurbishment. Along with this ride, a shooting arcade, a water park, food courts, and more will continue to be closed this week!
Popular Disney World rides will close now and then for refurbishment, which means you may miss out on riding them during your vacation.
Magic Kingdom
It’s no fun to get to the parks to find a ride closed down, but Disney has to ensure that all of their rides are working properly and make adjustments to them when needed. But we get really excited when we get to report that a ride or attraction is re-opening which is the case this week! While there are still a few closures around Disney World, one very popular ride at Magic Kingdom will be opening once again.
Disney World will continue to see closures this coming week.
Magic Kingdom
We’ve been keeping tabs on several closures around Disney World for a while now. While nothing new will close this week, several attractions, restaurants, and an entire water park will be closed the week of August 10th through August 17th. If you’re headed to the parks, be aware that a few rides, shows, and restaurants will not be open and operating.
It’s a busy week for Disney!
Magic Kingdom
Monday, August 7th, started with a hurricane, The Walt Disney Company had their Q3 earnings call on August 7th, and D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is happening on August 9th through August 11th. But even with all that going on throughout the week, the Disney World parks are as busy as ever. However, one park in Disney World had an interesting situation occur in the afternoon of August 7th.
Last week we shared that a Disney World hotel refurbishment would be ending.
Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort
Unfortunately, not all refurbishments go as planned. Occasionally, Disney has to make adjustments to their timelines and that’s what we’ve seen for one food court at a popular Value resort. However, this restaurant is not the only refurbishment that will affect your Disney World trip the week of August 3rd through August 10th.
