food IS a theme park
Fireworks have remained suspended since the parks reopened last year.
Spaceship Earth
And while EPCOT has a new nighttime show in the works, Harmonious, there has been no indication on when it could debut. But last night, there was an exciting indication that preparations may be underway.
If you’re planning on visiting Disney World this summer, specifically in July, the time to book your Park Pass reservations is NOW!
Will You Be Visiting Magic Kingdom?
Earlier this year, we saw a ton of Park Pass reservations filling up for parts of this year. Later, more became available. We especially saw more Park Passes become available following Disney’s announcement that they would be increasing capacity. Slowly, however, things started to fill up again. But now more Park Passes have become available!
A new ice cream place to try!? Don’t mind if we do.
BoardWalk Ice Cream
This morning we spotted a sign go up for a NEW ice cream spot at the former location of Ample Hills Creamery on Disney World’s BoardWalk. Well, it didn’t take long for the new BoardWalk Ice Cream to announce its hours and the menu — and now it’s already OPEN! We (of course) had to go give it a try and now we’re bringing you our FULL review.
Spots are continuing to reopen all around Disney World!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Recently, Festival of the Lion King in Disney’s Animal Kingdom resumed shows, and we’re looking forward to Disney’s Beach Club Resort reopening at the end of the month. And elsewhere on property, a poolside restaurant is BACK!
We’re back in Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
And today, we’re taking you around the park for a quick update on construction, merch, and more. Let’s get started!
Disney World’s 50th anniversary is coming up, and there are lots of surprises in store!

We’ve heard all about transformations coming to the parks’ icons, special costumes for Mickey and Minnie, and even new name tags for Cast Members! But now, in a collaboration between PhotoPass and Snapchat, there’s a way for guests to get in on the fun.
UPDATE:Â The following day, May 21st, Rise of the Resistance was up and running as usual.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is one of the newest rides in Disney World, but it can also be one of the toughest to get on.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
To get on Rise of the Resistance, you’ll need to join a boarding group which can be difficult enough on its own. But, aside from getting a Boarding Group, technical issues and other problems can arise (just as they do with any other Disney ride) that cause Rise of the Resistance to close temporarily. And it looks like today is one of those days, as Rise of the Resistance is temporarily closed in Disney World.
We’ve got some GREAT Disney food news!
Splitsville Luxury Lanes at Disney Springs
But first, we’ve gotta backtrack a couple of years. Remember the Filet Sliders up for grabs at Splitsville Luxury Lanes in Disney Springs? These lean, tender, flavorful eats were one of the best things on the Splitsville menu…but they disappeared last year. And if you’re craving ’em as much as we are, we’ve got some exciting news to share.
Earlier today, we told you about a brand-new ice cream spot coming to Disney’s BoardWalk!
BoardWalk Ice Cream
BoardWalk Ice Cream is replacing Ample Hills Creamery, after that company closed its BoardWalk location and filed for bankruptcy. We’ve been following the construction on the empty space for quite some time, and now, we know exactly what’s goin’ on! And if you’re itching to try the new eats here, we ALSO know what’ll be up for grabs. 😉
Off the top of my head, I can probably name at least 5 things that you do every time you go to Disney World. These are things like taking pictures of Cinderella Castle or eating something Mickey-shaped, just to name a couple.
Let’s talk about FOOD.
But, there are likely tons of things you’ve never done in Disney World!
