food IS a theme park
Tokyo Disneyland opened up back in 1983, and many of its opening day attractions are still running to this day!
Tokyo Disneyland Resort
The resort recently celebrated its 800 millionth (!!) guest, opened up a brand new immersive Toy Story Hotel, and even debuted a new Beauty and the Beast ride a few years ago.

Over just the last few months, the situation with Disney World’s Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID) has greatly changed.
The Walt Disney World main gate
The RCID is a special district under which Disney World has operated since its creation in 1967. The RCID essentially allows Disney World to act as its own county and have a great deal of control and direction over decision-making for the land on which it operates in Orlando. The RCID is now set to be dissolved in 2023 due to a bill that was recently passed by the Florida House of Representatives and Senate, and then signed by Governor Ron DeSantis. But the dissolution the RCID could encounter a big roadblock when it comes to the RCID’s debts.
