food IS a theme park
Some massive CHANGES are coming to Disney World.
Toy Story Land
Construction is going on in EPCOT for the Moana attraction, the TRON coaster is being tested in Magic Kingdom, and a new restaurant is coming to Toy Story Land. But now one piece of Disney World’s endless construction has finished and a NEW store is open in Toy Story Land!
Want to know a SECRET? Lean in close. Closer. Closer…WOAH! Not that close! Okay, we’re about to let you in on some exclusive knowledge. 🤫
Disney Springs
If you’re looking for a family-style meal to share with the fam and enjoy some fun eats in Disney World, there’s a SECRET spot you’ll want to go to! You might know all about the family-style meal you can eat at the Garden Grill Restaurant in EPCOT or Trail’s End Restaurant at Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds, but there’s a hidden spot that’ll get you a family-style meal right in Disney Springs. You’ve just got to know where to look!
There’s room for one more…pair of Disney ears, right? 😉
Haunted Mansion
It is a GOOD time to be a fan of The Haunted Mansion (and Minnie ears) right now! We’ve seen a new pair of Haunted Mansion ears released in Disneyland, tons of new Haunted Mansion items became available online, and Haunted Mansion holiday is on its way back to Disneyland. But if you’re looking for the chance to stock up on some NEW Haunted Mansion ears from the comfort of your home…look no further! NEW Haunted Mansion ears just became available online.
Another Disney snack might be MUCH harder to get right now.
Kringla
Snacks and drinks have been disappearing all over Disney World lately. At Oga’s Cantina, the Fuzzy Tauntaun has disappeared for the time being. We’ve also seen the Gingerbread Caramel Cookie Sandwich go missing from EPCOT, and the Cheshire Cat Tail go away from Magic Kingdom. Supply issues have caused another Disney snack to vanish from EPCOT (specifically over at Kringla Bakeri og Kafe) and we’re sharing all the details.
If you want to avoid massive crowds at the airports and the parks, there are some days you might want to AVOID visiting Disney’s parks.

You can look at ticket prices to determine the cheapest days to go to the parks, or take a look at what has been (historically) the least crowded times to visit. But sometimes special events totally outside of Disney’s control might impact crowds in a big way, and if you’re not prepared you could get stuck on vacation during a ridiculously busy time. There are some days in 2028 that would fall into that category, so we’re here to WARN you about them!
In early 2020, Bob Iger stepped down and Disney suddenly had a new CEO — Bob Chapek, and it turns out there are some parts of that transition that former CEO Bob Iger regrets.

The announcement of Bob Chapek’s selection and the start of his term happened very quickly, and within the upcoming months/years Chapek would have to face the pandemic, the closure of Disney’s theme parks around the world, changing theatrical releases, the Florida Parental Rights in Education Bill (what critics call the “Don’t Say Gay” bill), and more. Now, Iger has officially left Disney and Chapek will be sticking around for several more years. But it seems Iger may have some big regrets about how this all played out.
Buckle up folks, we’ve got some Disney news to share!
EPCOT
Between Amazon Prime Day deals and Target Deal Days (both of which have since ended), the start of EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival, and other Disney news — it’s been quite the week! If you’re planning a trip to Disney or just need to get caught up on all the latest, we’ve got you covered.
Things are CHANGING at Disneyland in a big way.
Main Street Electrical Parade
We’ve seen the return of Fantasmic!, World of Color, the Main Street Electrical Parade, and more at the Happiest Place on Earth, but soon some of these offerings will NOT be available for fans to enjoy.
Have you packed your stretchy pants? Yes? GOOD! Then get ready because EPCOT’s 2022 International Food & Wine Festival is officially HERE!
The Food and Wine Festival Has ARRIVED!
From new and returning food booths to the returning Eat to the Beat Concert series, there is a whole bunch to explore at this year’s Festival, and we’re taking you with us to see it ALL!
Calling ALL Marvel fans!
Avengers Campus
You can already stop by Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure Park to swing webs with Spider-Man or grab some food that has been impacted by PYM Particles, or you can stop by EPCOT to save the galaxy (again) on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. But what if you could have ice cream in a Marvel-themed spot inspired by something included in the set of an actual Marvel movie? Pretty cool right? Well…it might become a reality someday!
