food IS a theme park
A big part of Disneyland Park is getting a makeover, and the work has begun!
Toontown
At the end of 2021, we learned that Mickey’s Toontown would be getting a complete reimagining, which requires the area to be completely shut down. The area officially closed on March 9th, 2022, and isn’t expected to open again until early 2023. So, we recently went by to check out the area — let’s see what it looks like right now!
Y’all, it’s been a WEIRD week in Disney World. Floods, unusual closures, a ridiculously LONG line…a lot has happened.
What’s new in Disney World?
Unexpected surprises can happen all the time in Disney World, but sometimes we have to wonder how ALL of these things happen in one single week?! We’re here with the 7 BIGGEST surprises of the week!
It’s time to take a look at what’s happening at Disney World next week!
EPCOT!
There is so much Disney news to keep track of, like the first look we just got at the NEW Moana ride coming to EPCOT, a new food truck in Disney Springs, and a popular nighttime tour returning. And, amidst all of that, we’re still seeing some changes to the operating hours of the parks, so if you’re going to Disney World next week, read this to see all of the updates hours and reservations!
Do you have a favorite Disney World hotel?
The pool at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
We spend a lot of time at Disney World hotels, checking in shops, restaurants, bakeries, and more to see what’s new. So, if you’re keeping up with all those updates, too — we’ve got you covered. Here’s everything new we’ve found at Disney World hotels this week!
One of the things we can’t ever predict about Disney World is the weather.
Rainy Day Cavalcade
Florida is notorious for the kind of weather that makes folks say, “If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute.” And, while the storms may usually pass quickly, that doesn’t mean that your day in the parks won’t be impacted. We’ve seen days where thunderstorms cause ride closures and even recently saw Disney’s Hollywood Studios flood. And, as we move into the Spring season in Central Florida, we’re bringing you along with us on a REALLY rainy day in Disney World!Â
Ignorance might sometimes be bliss, but not when it comes to a Disney World vacation.
Magic Kingdom
No, when you’re planning a trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth, it’s better to know as much as you can about the parks, restaurants, hotels, and attractions. That way you’ll be able to plan the BEST trip possible for you and your group. To help you out, we put together a list of everything that’s going to be CLOSED in Disney World next week so that you’re equipped with all the latest information that could affect your trip.

There are so many things to do at night in Disney World!Â
Disney Enchantment Fireworks
There are tons of nighttime shows at Disney World like Harmonious in EPCOT and Disney Enchantment at Magic Kingdom, but did you know that there’s a nighttime Disney World show that you don’t have to be in the parks to see? And no, we’re not talking about watching the fireworks from your hotel window!
There are a lot of changes in the works at Disneyland right now!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
For example, TONS of nighttime entertainment is coming back in the next month, THREE fan-favorite rides are closing for refurbishment, and Mickey’s Toontown is undergoing a full transformation. And, on top of it all, Disney has shared that they will be taking some time to fix a pinch point in Disneyland Park to help with crowding moving forward.
While you can often find us chowing down on Mickey Pretzels and Dole Whip in the parks, some of our favorite Disney World dining locations are actually found outside of the parks!
Coronado Springs Resort
The Disney World Resort hotels are home to some iconic restaurants. Of course, there are the quintessential spots like ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. But, there’s one Disney World hotel that we bet you don’t typically think of when it comes to dining…but you totally should!
Last year, Disneyland teased the return of one nighttime parade that has withstood the test of time. And, as of next month, it is officially coming BACK — along with TWO other fan-favorite shows!

That’s right — we’re talking about the Main Street Electrical Parade, Disneyland Forever fireworks, and World of Color! We already knew that these shows would be returning to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure on April 22nd, but now we know exactly WHEN you’ll need to be stationed on Main Street, U.S.A or at Paradise Gardens Park to enjoy them!
