I’m a Former Disney World Cast Member, and I Am CONFUSED by This Expansion Announcement

A NEW LAND inspired by the Tropical Americas is coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom park in 2027. Say goodbye to Dinoland U.S.A. and hello to Pueblo Esperanza!

Animal Kingdom

Get ready for a lush, vibrant new land in Disney World filled with music, characters, and adventures. We’re still waiting on a few key details, like the opening date, but we do know that Dinoland (the land that Pueblo Esperanza will replace) will close in phases. Speaking of Dinoland, though, I have some questions about the logistics of this expansion project.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios Was on the Struggle Bus Last Night

By Robin Burks 1 Comment

Okay, so not EVERYTHING goes according to plan in Disney World.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

We’ve seen everything from ride evacuations to extended ride closures to characters having funny “oops” moments. Sometimes we even see a few funny things happen while we’re riding rides and something goes wrong. We’ll also NEVER forget plant Donald (he’s something of a legend here at DFB now). But last night, Disney’s Hollywood Studios was having some ISSUES, and we just had to share.

4 Things We Hope Disney World Changes in 2025

By Jessica Wedinger Leave a Comment

We are less than two months away from the start of 2025!

Magic Kingdom

Disney World will see significant changes when the new year rolls around. The first round of closures will hit DinoLand U.S.A., and we can expect to see construction start on projects in all four parks. So many new offerings will open, including two new lounges, Test Track 3.0, Zootopia: Better Zoogether, Disney Starlight, The Little Mermaid—A Musical Adventure, and the Disney Villains stage show. Whew! That is a lot of change in one year!

While Disney World is the one calling the shots on changes, we want to throw our hat in the ring as we hope these four things change in Disney World in 2025!

👻NEWS: Something NEW Arrived at the Haunted Mansion in Magic Kingdom!👻

By Robin Burks 6 Comments

Welcome, Foolish Mortals. We’re about to talk about Disney World’s Haunted Mansion.

Haunted Mansion

Now, the Haunted Mansion in Magic Kingdom is one of our FAVORITE rides in Disney World, and it doesn’t even have to be spooky season for us to enjoy it. We’ve seen a LOT of changes happening at Haunted Mansion over the past few years. Most recently, Candle Man was added (and only Haunted Mansion EXPERTS understand who and what that is). However, Disney World’s version of the ride also recently got the infamous Hatbox Ghost, an addition that still remains controversial with many fans. Well, something ELSE may have just changed at Haunted Mansion — and we have so many questions.
