food IS a theme park
Welcome back to another roundup of What’s New in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Slinky Dog Dash
We’ve got a lot to tell you about today, including Star Wars merchandise and NEW macaroni and cheese.
The Haunted Mansion merch just keeps coming!
Memento Mori
Just last week, we shared the newest (and coolest, in our humble opinion!) Haunted Mansion ears to materialize over in Disneyland, and today, we found a new pair at Memento Mori in Disney World!
fans, we’re sad to announce that Beaches and Cream has officially closed for its three-month refurbishment — which you can read more about here!
Beaches & Cream
We stopped by today to make sure the location had officially closed, and it sadly has. This means we’ll have to wait three whole months to enjoy Beaches and Cream’s iconic Kitchen Sink and No Way Jose.
We’re testing our luck on the NEW Oogie Boogie Popcorn Bucket that has gambled its way into Magic Kingdom.
Oogie Boogie Popcorn Bucket
We mentioned that this new popcorn bucket would be joining the lineup of Halloween treats and merch a while back, but now it’s here and we can’t believe our minds!
Cirque du Soleil
is bringing an all-new show to Disney Springs, and even though it was only announced yesterday at the D23 Expo, tickets are already on sale!
Disney Springs West Side
The show — which is unnamed at the moment — is inspired by Disney animation and storytelling and will bring that to life with “acrobatic performances, dazzling choreography, musical masterpieces, and whimsical characters” as only Cirque can! [Read more…]
Hey there, food lovers!! Are you ready for another fall treat review?! I know we are!
Chai Tea Cupcake
We have already shared information on the NEW fall treats that have popped up at the All-Star Resorts and we have shared our full review of Jack’s Hallow-Lime Cupcake, which just might be the best fall cupcake this year!! But, now it’s time to talk about the Chai Tea Cupcake which we also love a latte.
Hello, there!! We’re back with even MORE news from D23!! We’ve already chatted about the HUGE Epcot transformation including brand new Moana and Mary Poppins attractions, new neighborhoods, a new festival center, and more.
Ratatouille ride in Epcot’s France
But now we’re back to share that the opening season has been announced for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Crêperie de Paris, which are both coming to Epcot’s France Pavilion!
The D23 Expo was very enlightening with regard to Epcot’s on-going transformation, one that finds the beloved park in a “state of becoming” as Imagineer Zack Riddley said. One such change is the creation of the PLAY! Pavilion in what will be Epcot’s World Discovery neighborhood.

Since the announcement of a one-of-a-kind Rise of the Resistance attraction in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, we’ve been on the lookout for more glimpses into the ride. During yesterday’s D23 Expo presentation, we spotted some new peeks into Rise of the Resistance in a Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge promo video — and we grabbed some screenshots to share with you!
