We keep up with alllll the latest news coming out of Disneyland Resort and Disney World, but we also keep our eyes on what’s happening at the international Disney parks! Spoiler alert: some BIG things are happening overseas.

A new Zootopia land recently opened at Shanghai Disney Resort, World of Frozen is now open in Hong Kong Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris has finally reopened its flagship hotel. And now we have more information about a new event happening this spring in Tokyo Disneyland!
It’s no secret that Disney parades are beyond magical — for kids, for adults, and everyone in between!
Festival of Fantasy Parade
And sometimes, we get extra special surprises during parade times. Sometimes it’s a Rainy Day Cavalcade if it’s raining outside, or other times, like today, a Disney celebrity leads the parade and waves to all the guests!
So many Disney fans, us included, are so excited for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to arrive in Magic Kingdom and Disneyland this year.

We know that the ride follows Tiana’s restaurant adventure after the film’s end, as she gets ready to throw a Mardi Gras party for the whole town. But she’s missing the final ingredient and needs help to find it. We’ve also gotten sneak peeks at other aspects of the ride as we get closer and closer to its, currently unannounced, opening date. But there’s one part of the ride specifically we’ve been really curious about, and now we have some commentary on it — what happens after the drop?
We’ve made it to February and you know what that means…well, a lot of things, but it means that another EPCOT festival is almost here!
2023 Garden Rocks Concert
Currently, you can experience EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts, but on February 28th, EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival will kick off in the park! If you’re looking to get a dining package for one of the festival’s most popular experiences, they’re available RIGHT NOW!
It feels like there’s always something new happening in the Disney parks.
Voyage of the Little Mermaid
Disney World alone has Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and the updated Country Bear Jamboree show in progress in Magic Kingdom, as well as refurbishments coming up soon for Test Track in EPCOT. But now Disney has also started casting for the brand new show that’s coming this fall!
Disney may have stopped celebrating the 100th Anniversary, but that hasn’t stopped them from celebrating the magic of beloved stories.
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
The 100th Anniversary celebration brought us lots of new foods, merchandise, and platinum and purple. We also got to see the return of a very special parade. However, when the anniversary celebration ended so did the parade. But we’re excited to tell you that the Magic Happens parade is BACK in Disneyland!
The Walt Disney Company has been around for just over 100 years, and they’ve achieved a lot during that time.

The company’s first feature film was Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs, which quickly branched out into multiple other feature films, TV series, characters, and more. Some Cast Members in the Disney Company are actually Disney Historians, and they get to handle the most precious cargo from the archives. Well, once you meet this Disney Historian, you may have grandparent envy because this Cast Member is SO cool!
So…Universal has a lot coming in 2025.

And by a lot, we mean a whole new theme park complete with 5 lands and over 50 new experiences. We’ve just started to get more information on Epic Universe and the specifics around what it will introduce to Orlando, but we know it’s not set to open until 2025. That leaves us, and we’re sure you all, wondering — what does Disney have in store to combat Universal?
The mid-season premiere trailers for 10 of ABC’s television shows just dropped, and boy are we excited! There is a great line-up of new episodes in store for us including ones for The Conners, Grey’s Anatomy, The Good Doctor, and much more.
