food IS a theme park
Disney recently announced that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom will now be opening in the summer of 2024!

When the ride re-theme had initially been announced its opening timeline was set for late 2024. Now that Disney has moved up the opening date (we’re still waiting for a specific date to be announced), we can’t help but keep track of all the new updates we’ve been seeing!
At the beginning of 2023, Splash Mountain was closed to bring us an all-new movie-themed ride. You are all probably familiar by now with the new ride — Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

The ride so many of us grew up with, is in the middle of a massive re-theme. The new Princess and the Frog-inspired ride will be opening this coming summer in Magic Kingdom. While we’ve gotten some sneak peeks from Disney about what we will see inside this new ride, we have noticed a few details on the outside that could be big hints about some changes coming to the ride. And if you’re Hidden Mickey hunters, we’re afraid one might have gone missing.
So it’s no secret that sometimes things just close in Disney World.
Fantasyland
Sometimes, those closures are part of Disney’s refurbishment schedule, and we know about it WAY ahead of time. Other times, the weather can shut down rides. Sometimes things just…well, shut down without any apparent reason. Well, that seems to be happening ALL over Fantasyland — and WE HAVE QUESTIONS.
Sometimes the quick service dining options in Magic Kingdom can be…a little lackluster.
Tortuga Tavern
We haven’t always been overly impressed with spots like Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe or Casey’s Corner (outside of our beloved corn dog nuggets, of course!), and even the more unique spots like Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe can fall flat. But through the many quick service choices in that park, there’s one spot that often gets overlooked — and we headed there recently for a review!
Disney has a LOT of big plans for the next decade or so.
Disney Parks are getting bigger over the next decade
The company is planning on spending a WHOPPING $60 billion to expand the Parks, Experiences, and Products segment of the company. Although some of that money will go towards expanding Disney Cruise Line and other products, a LOT of that will also go to expanding its theme parks, with many projects already underway. So if you can’t keep track of all of Disney’s CURRENT list of upcoming theme park expansion projects (because it’s a LOT), we’ve got you covered.
If you’re visiting Magic Kingdom soon, you need to be prepared for the HOT MESS that is Frontierland right now!

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is under construction in Magic Kingdom, set to open this summer. This new Princess and the Frog-themed attraction is replacing the former Splash Mountain, and we’ve already seen some sneak peeks at the new animatronics and details that will adorn the mountain. But in the past few days, we got our first look (in person!) at the ride vehicles!
Disney foodies, we may have just bought extra time for one of our newest favorite treats in Disney World!
Beignets in Magic Kingdom
From time to time, Disney releases full foodie lineups that will make your mouth water… with a catch! Most of these delectable bites only run for a limited time at Disney World until they’re (usually) gone for a while. However, it seems that one of these recent releases has been such a hit that Disney has decided to EXTEND its stay in Magic Kingdom for a few more weeks! [Read more…]
