Stop everything! There’s a new cake slice at The Cake Bake Shop at Disney’s BoardWalk that’s only around for a limited time!
A new cake slice!
This spot is great for special occasions, as it is pretty expensive, but we have to admit — these treats are GOOD! We’re rarely disappointed here, and as it turns out, this new cake is one of the best we’ve had, and we think EVERYONE should try it!
If you’ve ever been walking through the World Showcase and have been hit with the most delicious smell, you might be walking through the Germany Pavilion by Karamell-Küche. This caramel shop features Werther’s Original Caramel and is home to some of our favorite EPCOT snacks.

Big changes are coming to Disney World, and some of them might sting a little.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
Disney has already been in the middle of a huge transformation across multiple parks, and now it looks like two more fan-favorite attractions will soon be added to the closure list. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith and DINOSAUR are both scheduled to close in 2026, though Disney hasn’t given us official closure dates yet. The timing here is critical, because both rides are tied to massive park transformations — one featuring The Muppets and the other tied to the new Tropical Americas land at Animal Kingdom. Here’s what you need to know about these two closures and what’s coming next.

Mexico Pavilion at EPCOT
Inside, you’ll find dim lantern lighting, bustling shops, and the sound of a mariachi band echoing in the background, all under a sky that’s permanently painted twilight.
