food IS a theme park
RED ALERT! We have MASSIVE news, people!
@Disney
We’ve been attending D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event this weekend and have been getting all the news about what Disney has in the plans for their theme parks, film and television programming, and beyond. We’ve been waiting for MONTHS to hear more about the DinoLand, U.S.A. re-theming into the Tropical Americas, and now it’s finally here!
Disney World nights are about to get ELECTRIC.

This weekend, Disney hosted the massive D23 Ultimate Fan Event in Anaheim, California. The sprawling convention broke the news from across Disney’s spectrum of offerings, including films, television streaming, video games, and, of course, theme parks.
It’s been a busy week for Disney!
Funnel Cake from Epic Eats at Hollywood Studios
We got the Q3 2024 financial results for the company and learned how the theme parks were doing. We’ve been to the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and ate a TON of party-exclusive snacks. We’ve also been checking menus at Disney World restaurants to see if anything has changed, and the answer is “yes!” So let’s take a look at which Disney World restaurants changed this week.
Extra, extra, read all about it! Seriously, we’re sure Disney World hasn’t had a wink of sleep because they’ve dropped so many new updates this week (including some for spooky season!). If you’ve missed out, this is your chance to catch up!
Magic Kingdom
I’m back again with another round of WHAT’S NEW UPDATES AT DISNEY WORLD, a rundown on all the epic news and updates that happened at Disney World this past week. This week we got the 4-1-1 on a popular Disney Springs Store unexpectedly CLOSING, Magic Kingdom getting into the Halloween spirit, and a first look at Mickey and Minnie’s NEW Halloween Costumes! Are y’all ready? Okay, let’s go!
Disney World will continue to see closures this coming week.
Magic Kingdom
We’ve been keeping tabs on several closures around Disney World for a while now. While nothing new will close this week, several attractions, restaurants, and an entire water park will be closed the week of August 10th through August 17th. If you’re headed to the parks, be aware that a few rides, shows, and restaurants will not be open and operating.
Halloween season has officially kicked off in Disney World, along with the Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom. We’re checking OUT everything we can at the party, but most importantly, we’re trying the FOOD.
Mickey at Town Square Theater
The party runs on select nights from August 9th through October 31st, and there is a lot to see, do, and more importantly…eat! A ticket will get you the opportunity to meet rare characters, see exclusive entertainment, ride your favorite attractions with shorter wait times, and get exclusive snacks. Well, we came for the snacks, so let’s check some out!
It’s here, spooky readers! Halloween has officially arrived in Disney World because the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party took place last night!
Happy Halloween!
We are had SO much fun experiencing everything the party has to offer: from exclusive characters to exclusive snacks (ALL the snacks, y’all!) to exclusive entertainment, we are ready to jump into Halloween season head-first. The party also has exclusive ride overlays that are sure to put you in a Halloween spirit, too, so let’s take a look at those!
We went to the first 2024 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and had TONS of fun!
Jafar
We tried all the snacks, rode tons of rides, and watched the spooky parade. Of course, we got to trick-or-treat as well! There are our favorite characters dressed up in their Halloween costumes, and lots of new merchandise. But we’re taking a peek at a new item that we’re super excited about — a new Minnie Mouse sipper.
Disney’s NEWEST ride will be available at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Earlier this year, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opened to great fanfare — and technical issues — at the Magic Kingdom. Around the time the attraction opened, it was announced that it would be available during the annual Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party seasonal event!
Hurricane season in Florida is no joke.
Magic Kingdom during Hurricane Debby
Rain is expected during a Disney World day almost all throughout the year because that’s just part of Florida’s climate! However, hurricane season brings something else entirely into the mix — tropical storms and hurricanes can seemingly come out of nowhere, and they can do so over and over again. We just got past Hurricane Debby, and now there’s another storm brewing in the sea that could bring another round to Floridians.
