food IS a theme park
Universal Studios Hollywood has been undergoing a large transformation as part of their Universal Evolution Plan. We are excited to see the new spaces and offerings being built on almost 400 acres of land!

The Universal Evolution Plan includes “additions to the existing studio, theme park, retail and entertainment uses including CityWalk, and the introduction of new hotels on approximately 391 acres in the Universal City area.”
If you’ve been following along with us at DisneyFoodBlog, you might have gotten the impression that we have a personal vendetta against Disney World buses. And I get it.
Disney Bus
It feels like we’re always out here waving our caution flag, warning you about all the potential pitfalls of relying on those iconic (and free!) Disney buses for your transportation needs. But here’s the kicker: We actually like the Disney World buses!
Santa is almost here!
Christmas in Magic Kingdom
We have celebrated the holidays for over a month now, thanks to Disney World’s festivities like Jollywood Nights and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas party. It’s our favorite time of the year and now even more spots in Disney World are getting in on the fun.
A major piece of Florida’s theme park history is closing after over 80 years.

More than 30 years before Disney World changed the landscape of Florida tourism forever, Cypress Gardens was the most famous attraction in the Sunshine State. Originally opened in 1936 by the legendary Dick Pope Sr., the botanical garden and theme park was headlined by a water-skiing show that drew in millions of guests – – including some huge celebrities – – to see daredevil performers including Pope’s son Dick Pope Jr. The show’s success popularized the sport, made the park’s home of Winter Haven the “water skiing capital of the world”, and put Florida on the metaphorical map for millions.
Visiting Disney World can be overwhelming, no matter if you’ve never been there or you’ve been there multiple times.
Joy at Pixar Plaza in Hollywood Studios!
You see, there’s just so much to see and do, and there’s no way you can do it all in one trip unless you literally move to Disney World. But, hey, we go to Disney World almost every day, and we are STILL discovering new things to occupy our time in the parks and at the resorts. However, here’s the thing, FOMO can be a real thing when you’re there, and we’re going to warn you about it so you don’t fall into its trap.
Missing out on the BIGGEST Lightning Lane changes, the NEWEST dining reservations, and those DREAM hotel stays is NOT on our 2025 Disney World list for you.

When the news broke that Muppets Courtyard would be removed from Disney’s Hollywood Studios to be replaced by a new Monsters, Inc. Land, Muppets fans everywhere were saddened by the news.

One piece of Muppets Courtyard specifically got a lot of attention — Muppet*Vision 3D. Disney shared that they “are having creative conversations and exploring ways to preserve the film and other parts of the experience for fans to enjoy in the future.” The Jim Henson Company also shared a statement about preserving the film, so many fans are hopeful they’ll be able to experience the show well into the future in some way. Jim Henson’s legacy continues to live on through the Muppets and his last piece of work, but now it seems that the company’s studio lot is being sold to a famous celebrity!
