food IS a theme park
An experience is finally coming BACK to Hollywood Studios!
Hollywood Studios
Slowly, many experiences have returned to “normal” at Disney World. In recent months, we’ve seen Disney World restaurants reopen, cultural representatives return to a Disney World hotel, and more. And now Disney has shared a BIG update for Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Do you dream of going on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (a.k.a. the Star Wars Hotel)Â but are terrified of the cost? Well, NOW is your time to book.

Disney has already announced an Annual Passholder discount for the experience, plus a Disney Vacation Club discount and a Cast Member discount. But now ANOTHER group can finally join in on the fun at a cheaper cost.
If you thought the Reedy Creek Improvement District (now Central Florida Tourism Oversight District) battles were limited to legal issues over the agreements Disney entered into with the prior board of supervisors, you’d be wrong. The battle is reaching beyond that now.
Disney World Monorail
Previously, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis had indicated that he wanted to change some things about Disney World and how safety inspections are done, specifically getting the government more involved when it comes to inspection regulations. We saw the new Board of Supervisors hear some arguments about inspections and Disney World pools recently as well. DeSantis had specifically pointed out the monorail as something he wanted the state to be able to inspect, and now we’re seeing DeSantis’ plan come together.
Something has CHANGED at the Festival of Fantasy Parade in Magic Kindom, and you’ll want to know about it.
Magic Kingdom
Over the weekend, a Disney animatronic ended up in flames…literally when the Maleficent dragon used in Disneyland’s version of Fantasmic! caught on fire. Following this, fire effects similar to the one used at Disneyland were suspended, and now we’ve seen first-hand how this will impact YOUR Disney World trip.
Disney found itself in the middle of some serious Twitter drama recently.
Disney Junior Dance Party
You may be well aware of the battles that have been going on with the Twitter platform when it comes to Twitter Blue and that signature blue checkmark. But another change hit Twitter previously regarding “official” business accounts through “Twitter Verified Organizations.” Instead of an “official” label, businesses now get a gold checkmark. Recently, one account that appeared to be related to Disney Junior got a gold checkmark and some drama ensued.
Get ready — something has CHANGED at a fan-favorite Disney Springs restaurant.
Disney Springs
We’ve already shared the news about some Mother’s Day festivities coming to Disney Springs, as well as menu changes that have hit this area (and other spots in Disney World). But now we’ve got something NEW to share.
Halloween can be SCARY at Disney World, but not for the reason you’d think.
Mickey pumpkins are back!
While spooktacular fireworks and a ride on the Haunted Mansion may be enough to give you the shivers, once you see the PRICE you’ll have to spend on your Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party tickets, you might really be frightened. But not all Halloween party dates are priced equally. So let’s take a little of the fright out of your planning and talk about the CHEAPEST days to go to this Halloween event.

Previously, Disney also announced that a NEW store would be heading to Disney Springs, and that store has officially arrived — check it out with us!
