By Leave a Comment

3…2…1…we have take-off, people! The long-awaited AstroFizz snack stand at Magic Kingdom is officially OPEN!

AstroFizz!

Recently, we talked about how exciting it was that the walls were down around this kiosk, but we had NO idea it was going to be open THE VERY NEXT DAY! Come with us to check it out!

Disney Fans in Their 50s Refuse to Ride These 5 EPCOT Rides

By 26 Comments

Walt Disney World offers a wide variety of attractions over its four theme parks, with rides for everyone from young children to thrill seekers to grandparents. EPCOT alone features rides that fit into all these categories. However, just because Disney has different rides for every potential guest doesn’t mean that every ride is for every potential guest.

In my 30+ years visiting EPCOT, my own body has started reacting differently to different rides, to the point where I’ve had to change some of my every visit list (apologies to my chiropractor for skipping Mission Space).

How about Walt Disney World guests in their 50s? Which EPCOT rides do some in that age range tend to skip? Well, this is what our anecdotal research shows!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Something NEW is landing at Magic Kingdom, and we are about to take off to check it out!

Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom

We’re stepping into Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom to check on AstroFizz, a new snack kiosk that is replacing the long-standing Cool Ship, which closed in May 2025. All of Cool Ship was demolished and rebuilt with a fresh new look. That resulted in walls being put up in that area. (They weren’t cute!) However, we’re here to tell you that those walls are finally DOWN!

We had to stop by the park to check out the brand-new attraction, and we’re giving you a FIRST LOOK inside, along with tons of new information. Let’s get straight into it!
