Some were teased with concept art and then never heard from again. Others were actually announced and then slowly faded into the background, like they never existed. And then there are a few that still sting—because we really wanted them to happen. Let’s talk about five Disney World projects that were planned, hyped, and then totally canceled.
Epic Universe just opened in May, but Universal is already submitting plans to expand!
WELCOME to Epic Universe!
This is the third park at Universal Orlando and has five themed lands: Super Nintendo World, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and the Ministry of Magic, How to Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk, Dark Universe, and Celestial Park. We’ve been exploring every detail and trying every snack, but the idea of an expansion has us thrilled!

All-inclusive resorts aren’t just for tropical getaways in the Caribbean. The U.S. actually has some pretty epic all-inclusive destinations, too. And no, we’re not talking about boring buffets and scheduled entertainment every hour — we’re talking about luxury cabins, mineral-rich hot springs, next-level food, and wellness experiences that might just convince you to turn off your phone (maybe). Here are a few of the top all-inclusive travel spots in the U.S. that actually live up to the hype.

It feels like Disney World is in the middle of a huge transformation, with projects popping up left and right. From brand-new attractions being built to favorite areas being torn down and massive renovations appearing around the parks.
Construction at Big Thunder Mountain
For new projects to start, old projects have to go away, and that can mean a lot of construction. If there are tons of areas actively under construction, why does this mean ticket prices constantly go up every year?
We often stress the importance of staying hydrated at Disney World and beyond, but if you own this particular water bottle — you should probably (definitely) get rid of it.
