Disney is moving quickly.

This past weekend, Disney hosted the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. During the Horizons showcase, Disney dropped a ton of news relating to their theme parks. Two of the biggest announcements came in the form of Cars and Villains lands coming to the Magic Kingdom. Now just days later, Disney is already putting the wheels in motion.
WHEW! What an AWESOME past few days! We were at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event from August 9th to August 11th, and Disney was busy dropping news all over the place.
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event
First, on August 9th, we heard about new movies and Disney+ series. Then, on August 10th, we got MAJOR experiences news. Disney shared new lands coming to the parks, a new nighttime parade in Magic Kingdom, new gaming experiences headed to Fortnite, and y’all it was ALL unbelievable! Every announcement is actually happening as no Blue Sky ideas were shared. But there was one announcement that all of us went wild for — a new Villains Land coming to Magic Kingdom! But Disney didn’t share too many details, and we now we have a few questions.
There are so many restaurants to choose from when trying to decide where you should eat in Disney World.Â

While Disney World may be the Most Magical Place on Earth, that doesn’t mean that bad things can’t happen.

Yes, negative things are sometimes a little more manageable because hey, you’re in Disney World, but sometimes life’s struggles still break through that Disney bubble. Not to mention that being in Disney World can create a whole slew of NEW problems that you don’t really experience anywhere else. Since Cast Members are the first line of help for any issues in the parks, that means you could hear them say some pretty undesirable things throughout your trip, and if you do, you may want to turn around and walk the other way.
Sometimes we get Disney World changes that inconvenience us, and other times we come out with a win.

If you’ve visited Disney World lately, you might have noticed changes in everything from decor to crowd levels, and even new attractions. But, one recent change in particular has helped us sleep better at night while on vacation at Disney World.
This past weekend was one of Disney’s biggest events of the year!
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event just wrapped up, and we got a LOT of news over the weekend. Disney shared details about upcoming movies, major theme park projects, and plans for the future of Disney Cruise Line. We also got to see 14 new Disney Legends inducted! But beyond all that, we checked out some special exhibits with teasers about what’s to come for Disney in the future.
