Of course, the new lands and expansions are probably the most interesting of the new additions coming to Disney World, and if you want to get an up-close look at several of these, you’ll want to head to Walt Disney Presents in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. That’s because Walt Disney Presents now has 3D models of Pueblo Esperanza, Monstropolis, and Piston Peak! We’re about to spend our WHOLE day analyzing these 3D models, because, you know, Disney Adults. Anyway, let’s see what’s new!
Starbucks might be a must-have caffeine fix for many Disney World guests, but some say the current setup is more chaos than convenience.
Get that pumpkin spice ready!
For many Disney World guests, a day at the parks doesn’t really start until they’ve got a Starbucks cup in hand. Whether you’re heading to rope drop or grabbing a midday caffeine boost between Lightning Lane windows, the Starbucks locations in the parks are popular, maybe too popular.
While Disney World is known for its rides, shows, and nighttime entertainment, if you’re looking to relax while on vacation, look no further than your Disney resort pool!
Stormalong Bay
I have swam in different Disney World resort pools, and I’ve definitely developed some favorites. Each pool has its own unique charm. From the atmosphere to the amenities to how easy it is to grab a snack or drink while you relax. Whether you’re planning a rest day or just want to make the most of those pool hours, these are the three resort pools that truly stand out.
Disney giveth, and Disney taketh away. Well, folks, the time has come to say goodbye to two more DinoLand U.S.A. snack spots.
Breaking DinoLand NEWS!
DinoLand at Animal Kingdom is being transformed into the new Tropical Americas-themed Pueblo Esperanza, and ahead of that transformation, Disney has announced that Dino-Bite Snacks and Trilo-Bites will permanently close on October 20th, 2025. Here’s what you need to know.
You know the old saying, “When one door closes, another one opens.“? Well, there are a whole lot of doors closing over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom as the park prepares to debut a new Tropical Americas-themed land, called Pueblo Esperanza. DinoLand U.S.A. is closing in phases as construction kicks off, but that leaves us with an important question: what’s gonna happen to all of our favorite DinoLand snacks?
Buffalo Chicken Chips
If you know us around here, you may know that the Buffalo Chicken Chips served at the Trilo-Bites snack stand are a DFB FAVORITE. As this little snack stand goes extinct, will the chips, too, disappear for good? Disney just quietly confirmed a BUNCH of snack changes on the My Disney Experience website, and we’ve got GOOD NEWS for our fellow chip lovers.
It’s no secret that Disney World is in its construction era, including Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Right now, Muppets Courtyard is being dismantled so Disney can convert it into a brand new Monsters, Inc. land. In Toy Story Land, some construction walls have popped up, making us think a new snack spot is arriving soon. Then there’s Animation Courtyard, which is currently being reimagined into The Walt Disney Studios. Well, we’ve got an update about the construction at The Walt Disney Studios…and it’s not a pretty one.
Huge news for fans of Disney’s live-action remakes!

Recently, Disney has had a big hit thanks to its Live-Action remake of Lilo and Stitch! In December 2024, rumors started circulating that a Live-Action Tangled was headed for the big screen. Talk of the film quickly died out, but now the movie is back in production with a familiar face at the helm of the project!
Disney World has no shortage of iconic restaurants; however, they are not all equal in the eyes of Disney fans.
Rainforest Cafe in Animal Kingdom
From castle dining with princesses to meals inside space stations, it’s easy to assume that every Disney dining experience is great. But sometimes, in the land of $35 burgers and months-long dining waits, the most surprising meal can come from a place you thought you’d never step foot in. So here we are, and I’m about to recommend a Disney World restaurant that’s often shrugged off, joked about, or skipped entirely: Rainforest Café. Yes, that Rainforest Café.
Disney’s streaming service offers tons of Disney and Pixar films, shows, and more thanks to its partnerships with Hulu and ESPN. Disney+ has changed quite a bit since its initial launch in 2019, and now a new law is aimed at banning a specific type of ad on the streaming platform.

The new California law intends to stop advertisements from turning up the volume while you’re watching, according to the BBC. The new law says advertisements cannot be louder than the main video content being watched.
