food IS a theme park
Big news from Magic Kingdom!
Ariel’s Grotto has reopened!
It was announced last week that a certain Princess meet and greet would finally be returning to Magic Kingdom, and that day is finally here. That’s right — Ariel has returned to her Grotto!
The Lunar New Year Festival is off and running here at Disney California Adventure.
Sonoma Terrace
We’ve been making our way around the festival, taking in all the entertainment and trying all kinds of tasty treats. This year, one of our favorite lounges, Sonoma Terrace, has a new item on the menu. Come see what we think! [Read more…]
Who’s ready for 2023 in Disney World? Let’s be honest, you’re probably NOT!
Animal Kingdom
What do we mean? Well, there’s a lot coming at us this year, including returning fireworks shows, new rides, park transformations, hotel makeovers…Y’ALL, the list goes on and on. There are also some big things that Disney World is doing for the FIRST time in 2023 — here’s our full list!
It’s not often that rides close in Disney World, but today, a popular Magic Kingdom attraction is permanently closing.
SO many people today
Splash Mountain is closing to become Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, a new ride based on Disney’s The Princess and the Frog film. We saw some massive crowds at the ride earlier this weekend and we’ve been in Magic Kingdom today monitoring the crowds — so what are the wait times like for Splash Mountain on its closing day?
Today, something very rare is happening in Disney World — a ride is permanently closing.
Splash Mountain
Splash Mountain has been in Magic Kingdom for years now, but it will be closing down to make way for a brand new attraction — Tiana’a Bayou Adventure. Although the ride itself will be similar to Splash Mountain, the storyline will pick up where The Princess and the Frog movie left off. The new ride isn’t set to open until late 2024, so let’s see what the crowds are like with guests trying to get one last ride on Splash Mountain!
Have you been to EPCOT lately? The park has been going through a period of transformation for a few years now, and it’s far from over!
EPCOT
Construction means new things to see and do which may sound like a good thing, but it can make spending time in the park trickier! While we don’t have an exact opening date yet, later this year, a new area in EPCOT will be opening and make the park super busy.
Well, the day has finally come — today is the LAST day Disney World guests will get to ride Splash Mountain. The attraction will be reimagined into a new ride, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
Splash Mountain
We already saw LOADS of crowds getting in one last ride on the attraction this weekend, but today, things are looking even busier! For those who chose to purchase Genie+ to access Splash Mountain’s Lightning Lane, we hope you got a time earlier because as of right now, there are no Lightning Lane times left!
Many of us love a classic Disney Princess movie.
Snow White
From Walt’s original princess, Snow White, to Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle and beyond, the idea that two people meet, fall in love, and live happily ever after is strong in Disney movies — and the fairytales many of them are based on.
Well, today is the day. The last day we’ll sing along to “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” and enjoy the antics of Br’er Rabbit.
Splash Mountain
That’s right — today is the day that Magic Kingdom’s Splash Mountain closes forever. We’ve already seen quite a few crowds in Disney World this weekend headed to ride the attraction one last time before it closes to be reimagined as Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. But we’re live at Magic Kingdom RIGHT NOW on Splash Mountain’s final day.
So much is changing at Disney World hotels right now.
Disney’s Riviera Resort
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn just got a new coffee shop and a new restaurant is on its way. The rooms at Disney’s Beach Club Resort are getting an update. The rooms at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort are getting a new theme based on The Little Mermaid. A lot even just happened this past week, so let’s take a look at the latest hotel updates!
