food IS a theme park
Ever since Sprinkles and their delicious cupcakes permanently left Disney Springs at Walt Disney World in January, we’ve been asking what the replacement is!
Sprinkles Cupcakes
Well, we no longer have to wonder what’s coming, because it was announced that Black Tap is coming to the Sprinkles location at Disney Springs in a unique way! This spot used to be available only on the West Coast, but that’s no longer the case.
This year’s EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is going to be AMAZING. We’re really excited to see the festival begin, which happens on March 4th (and it runs through June 1st). The best thing about this festival is the FOOD, and now that we’ve got ALL the food booth menus and prices, we’re already making our list of everything we’re going to try.

However, while we were making our list, we noticed something very peculiar about two of the food booths: their dates. So let’s talk about why this seems…well…odd.
We’re going to the Magic Kingdom multiple times per week to check on the Cinderella Castle repainting, and we do it so you can stay updated!
Cinderella Castle is getting repainted!
For a month now, Cinderella Castle has been undergoing a makeover. We like to check on her from time to time, and we have some updates to show you!
Even more news on Magic Kingdom‘s expansions dropped this week! If you read our update from Valentine’s Day, then you’ll know that the area is already flat and level.

They’ve already started on the foundations of some small structures, but we have some new permit approvals that reveal more about upcoming changes. Here’s what we know!
Yes, we’re still in the middle of the EPCOT Festival of the Arts, but it will be ending soon on February 23rd (this festival is WAY too short, y’all). Fortunately, we don’t have much longer to wait for the next festival, the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, which starts on March 4th and runs through June 1st.

Today, we finally got a full list of food booths and their menus, but Disney just also dropped some MORE details. We also know how much all that food and drinks will cost! So let’s take a look at this year’s pricing.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has been going through it lately, and the pain isn’t over just yet!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
We’re sure that you remember that DINOSAUR and the rest of DinoLand U.S.A. permanently closed on February 2nd to make way for the new Tropical Americas land. Unfortunately, things are about to get worse at the beloved park, because more closures are just around the corner!
While construction is rampant across Walt Disney World in 2026 — with major projects at both the Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios — arguably no Disney World park is being affected more than Animal Kingdom.
You can now see the Casita in the background!
With DINOSAUR –– and all of DinoLand U.S.A. — shuttered for good, and Tropical Americas (including its Indiana Jones and Encanto attractions) still some time away, Disney World’s youngest theme park is in a state of transition right now, and guests are changing their visiting habits accordingly.
Change is a fact of life at Disney theme parks, and has been the case for over 7 decades since the first opening day Disneyland attractions closed less than a year into the park’s existence.
Swiss Family Treehouse
This kind of evolution is, once again, for better or worse, is currently heavy in the air at the Magic Kingdom. Disney recently closed the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island in 2025 to replace them with the currently under-construction Cars-themed Piston Peak. Villains Land is also being built behind Big Thunder Mountain. With that news in mind, we decided to poll our readers on the potential fate of another Magic Kingdom attraction: the Swiss Family Treehouse.
The day has finally come! The Grand Floridian Resort‘s tea room reservations are open now!

March in Disney World is shaping up to look a little different than usual.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
If you’ve got a spring trip on the books, there are a few big ride closures you’ll want on your radar. Two major attractions at Magic Kingdom are still in the middle of lengthy refurbishment projects, and one iconic Hollywood Studios coaster is officially taking its final bow. Before you finalize those park plans, here’s what you need to know.
