food IS a theme park
The Hollywood Studios restaurants are fired up and ready to find out WHICH amongst them is the BEST RESTAURANT of the park. And the only way to do that?
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
With AN ULTIMATE RESTAURANT SHOWDOWN.
While Walt Disney World’s four theme parks are often full of guests that make it feel like every inch of them is packed, the truth is that all of them have abandoned spaces right smack dab in the middle of their busiest areas.
Galaxy’s Edge
From long-abandoned EPCOT pavilions and the husk of a several-times-transformed opening day Magic Kingdom attraction to a quickly abandoned Animal Kingdom amphitheater and a technically still open but might as well not be Hollywood Studios experience, these abandoned areas of Disney World’s parks desperately need a shot in the arm.
Oh, boy! Remember how Mickey said, “Nothing can stop us now”? Well, he’s about to reach all-new speeds with no signs of slowing down. Disney and Formula 1 just announced a new collaboration with Mickey & Friends that will begin in 2026. Yep — that’s an F1 vehicle…with Mickey’s head on it.

OK, Disney fans. So, how can you get in on the action? Disney teased that some FUN new elements will be part of this new collaboration, including new experiences, content, and merchandise around the globe.
Fans are flocking to this opening day Magic Kingdom original now that they know it’s about to sail away FOREVER.
Liberty Square Riverboat
The Rivers of America, and the riverboats that sail them, have been a part of Disney parks since the literal beginning, as the river and the Mark Twain Riverboat were part of Disneyland from the VERY beginning. The same was true of the Magic Kingdom at its opening, as the park debuted with its own version of the Rivers of America as well as its own riverboat.
If you’re looking to have a Disney-filled summer but aren’t able to make it to the parks, don’t worry — we’re here to help!

Something might look a bit DIFFERENT the next time you decide to stay at this particular Disney World hotel!
Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter
Disney World’s been hard at work lately refurbishing its hotel rooms, amenities, and even making some huge changes in its parks. Just when it might feel like all Disney World is doing lately is change and construction, its always nice to see it all come together once they’re finished!
Ride closures and refurbishments are a fact of life at Walt Disney World. Odds are slim that you’ll ever visit the resort and find every single ride and attraction operating on a single day.
Welcome to Magic Kingdom
In fact, if you’re planning on heading to the Magic Kingdom later in 2025, you’re going to find not one, but two of the park’s best-known attractions will be CLOSED for the remainder of the year!
You know what’s just as important as a nice Disney outfit? A Disney backpack!
Hey Mickey!
If you love Loungefly bags, you’ll love these Mickey backpacks. They aren’t technically Loungefly, BUT they are extremely close — and we love them!
