Storm Clouds Over Disney’s Hollywood Studios
It’s not uncommon for guests to find themselves in the middle of a rainy day at Disney World. And while you might be willing to push through the rain, it’s important to be aware of the weather, as sometimes the thunderstorms can get severe. Here’s what you need to know if severe weather is headed your way in Disney World.
We’ve been following the progress of the EPCOT transformation for a while now! That includes the new lighting being attached to Spaceship Earth, the front entrance’s DRAMATIC makeover, and the new fountain that still makes us “ooh” and “ahh.”

Disney’s nuIMOs
Recently, the newest set of nuIMOs arrived allllll the way from the Hundred Acre Wood onto shopDisney. And, now it looks like they’ve decided to take a trip over to Disney World too to greet fans on the shelves!
One area we try to cover a lot of ground on is merchandise: you know it, you love it, you probably buy a good amount of it on your Disney trips.
Disney World ✨
Sometimes, merchandise that has been around for a while might get a refresh, or might undergo a price increase. It’s not uncommon, but we noticed recently that a certain Disney item has been doing quite a bit of flip-flopping.

Once completed, the high-speed train’s newest route will be able to bring guests directly to Disney Springs from Orlando International Airport.
