food IS a theme park
Welcome, foolish mortals.
The Haunted Mansion
It doesn’t matter which Disney Park you go to — Disney World OR Disneyland — those three words probably bring back some iconic memories of the Haunted Mansion. But those Haunted Mansions are not the same. Only one of those has the iconic Hatbox Ghost figure, but look alive…because that’s ALL about to change!
What a BUSY and exciting weekend it has been! The news just keeps rolling out and we are so giddy about all the BIG updates.
Spaceship Earth
If you are one who loves character meet and greets and classic EPCOT, well then we have some big news for you.
If you haven’t been to EPCOT in a while, you’ll probably feel lost the next time you visit. That’s because a LOT has changed in this park, and even more changes are on the way!
EPCOT
EPCOT’s massive transformation has so far included a new quick-service restaurant, a space-themed table-service restaurant, a Ratatouille-themed attraction, a Marvel roller coaster, and so much more. It might feel like everything that could change in this park has already done so, but the transformation isn’t quite over yet. Disney just announced an opening timeline for the upcoming Moana-themed attraction! [Read more…]
IMPORTANT UPDATE:Â TRON Lightcycle Run will open in Magic Kingdom on April 4, 2023.Â
Before its opening, Disney is holding Cast Member, DVC, and Annual Passholder previews, as well as a ticketed event for D23 Gold Members. However, Annual Passholder and Disney Vacation Club member previews, AND the D23 TRON events have all REACHED CAPACITY/SOLD OUT.Â
It feels like it’s been forever that we’ve been waiting for TRON Lightcycle Run to open in Magic Kingdom!

After being announced back in 2017, TRON Lightcycle Run was scheduled to open with Disney World’s 50th anniversary on October 1st, 2021. However, the ride did not open at that time and we were left to watch the construction progress in Magic Kingdom while we waited for news. Now, Disney has FINALLY announced an opening timeline!
UPDATE: Happily Ever After will return with new projections down Main Street, U.S.A on April 3, 2023.
Okay, nobody panic, but…ummm…yeah…we’re 🚨 FREAKING OUT over Disney’s HUGE fireworks news! 🚨
Fireworks Time
Magic Kingdom has had its fair share of fireworks shows over the years with some like Wishes and Happily Ever After becoming true fan favorites. Most recently, Happily Ever After was replaced by Disney Enchantment for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, and a special 50th Anniversary-themed tag was added to the beginning of the show. But now Disney has dropped some HUGE fireworks news.
Well, it’s been a WEEK!
Oogie Boogie Nachos!!!
So much is going on right now. We had the first Oogie Boogie Bash in Disneyland, we celebrated Disney+ Day in the parks, and we’re getting ready for a TON of announcements from the D23 Expo this weekend! But we’re still thinking about FOOD, which means we’re keeping an eye on Disney World restaurants to see if anything has changed.
In an ironic turn of events, we have some pretty scary news about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Disney World.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a popular, after-hours, hard-ticketed event at Magic Kingdom in Disney World. There’s a special fireworks show, the fan-favorite Boo-to-You parade (featuring the iconic Headless Horseman), a variety of exclusive treats, and more. If you were hoping to attend the party this year, unfortunately, we have some pretty heartbreaking news. [Read more…]
One of the most popular souvenirs in Disney World is the resort-specific Starbucks cups, which come in a variety of designs.
Do you collect Disney World Starbucks cups?
We’ve seen those cups sell out FAST, both in Disney World and online, and they’re not always easy to get your hands on, especially if they’re the 50th anniversary designs. One of those cups, which has Mickey on it, though, has FINALLY arrived in Disney World.
We know all too well how fast Disney’s tickets, reservations, and hotel accommodations can sell out.Â
