food IS a theme park
A major change is coming to one of Disney World’s oldest attractions TOMORROW.
Carousel of Progress
Walt Diseny’s Carousel of Progress – – which has been operating in one form or another since its debut at the 1964 New York World’s Fair, meaning it actually predates Disney World by over a decade – – is set to close for a major refurbishment that will shift nearly everything about the 60+ year old attraction.
It’s been a BIG year for Magic Kingdom. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad reopened as new and improved versions of themselves. Cinderella Castle got repainted. Now another big change is coming to the park!
It’s Carousel of Progress’ final day before refurbishment!
The Carousel of Progress is getting a massive makeover, which means we need to say goodbye to the version we know and love. We’re here on the last day of operation for the current Carousel of Progress, and we’re not the only ones who came out to say farewell.
Things are ALWAYS changing in Disney World! Lately, it feels like the parks are entirely new places thanks to updates like Villains Land, Piston Peak, Monsters Inc. Land, and other major changes.
Welcome to La Poutinerie
Each week, it feels like Disney is constantly dropping new information, details, and more! That’s why we like to do a weekly wrap-up of the biggest news so you don’t miss a single thing. This week was pretty exciting for people who love new stuff in Disney World!
At our recent visit to LEGOLAND Florida, we decided to check out the Shipwreck Restaurant at the Pirate Island Hotel!
Shipwreck Restaurant
This restaurant offers breakfast and dinner options through a prix-fixe 3-course meal, an all-you-can-eat menu with salad, your choice of one of three skillet options, and dessert! Soft drinks are also included in the meal. So, what did we think? We’re bringing you our FULL review of the Shipwreck Restaurant dinner!
This summer is going to be a HOT one in Disney World, which means when it comes to caffeine, we’re going iced coffee all the way.
A great summer coffee is here!
Sometimes, though, you want something that’s refreshing but is ALSO coffee so you can get that pick-me-up you need. That’s pretty hard to find — at least, it was — but now The Cake Bake Shop on Disney’s BoardWalk has solved all our coffee problems with their new iced coffee flavor that somehow beautifully combines mocha AND blueberry!
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle-of-the-road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.
The BOATHOUSE
We recently stopped by The BOATHOUSE at Disney Springs to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!
We’re so excited to finally have an Encanto-themed attraction coming to Disney World, though we’ve still got many months to go before its planned debut in 2027.

The new ride, based on the family’s Casita, will be in the new Tropical Americas land in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, which is currently under construction at the former home of DinoLand, U.S.A. While we’re still waiting for an official opening date, we’re watching construction closely, but thanks to Instagram, we’ve got an update on what’s happening with the attraction OUTSIDE of the park!

Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
Animal Kingdom
Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable, and that’s especially true during the summer season. As we approach the Fourth of July, one of the most popular holidays people choose to travel for, we know it’s likely important you know exactly how long you may be waiting in line. Let’s just say, even though the holiday is right on top of us, wait times have not been what we expected this week.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
