food IS a theme park
Something new is coming to the American Adventure Pavilion in EPCOT, which means that part of the EPCOT World Showcase pavilion will soon be closing.
American Adventure Pavilion
The American Heritage Gallery inside of the American Adventure Pavilion will be welcoming a new collection soon, but that means part of this pavilion will have to close in order for Disney to prepare. We’re sharing all the details you need to know so you’re not caught off guard by this closure!
Disney is making a splash with its new event set to celebrate one of its iconic films next month!
Journey of the Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid has captivated hearts for years since its release on November 17th, 1989. Adults and kids of all ages have watched Ariel on screen, captivated by her journey and wishing that they could be part of her world. The story and the beloved songs that accompany it have solidified this film as a Disney classic. Now to celebrate the 35th anniversary, Disney is hosting a different kind of screening for the film: a “swim-in screening”!
Disney has parks and other destinations all over the world!
World of Frozen in Hong Kong Disneyland
Disney Cruise Line takes travelers to several destinations or you can hop on a flight to one of the several international parks. You might want to visit places like Paris, Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, or The Bahamas. Each offers fun and exciting Disney vacation opportunities. However, there are a couple of these destinations that currently have travel advisories to be aware of while you’re traveling.
Are these new Marvel-themed foods super?
Pym Test Kitchen
On a recent trip to Disneyland, we popped into Pym’s Test Kitchen – the Avengers Campus-based eatery themed around the titular character from the Ant-Man films known for interesting snacks with some wild proportions – to try out the two latest dishes on the menu: The Reactor Melt and the Pepper Particle Pasta.
Is there a Disney World hotel that is your favorite? It’s the one hotel you stay at every time you go to Disney World, and you’ve started to think about it as your home away from home.
Pop Century Resort
There are many hotels to choose from in Disney World. You can pick from Value, Moderate, or Deluxe resorts, each categorized by price. Each hotel is unique in its own way, but all offer special perks including transportation, cool Disney theming, and extra time in the parks in some capacity (all hotel guests can take advantage of Early Entry days, while Deluxe hotel guests also get Extended Evening hours on select nights). Even though every hotel can be a great option for people visiting Disney World, we’ve started to notice something about Disney’s Value resorts, and it’s really hard for us to talk about because it’s unfair in so many ways.
Can you believe we’re only a few months away from the start of EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival?
EPCOT
This year, the festival runs from August 29th through November 23rd, 2024, and while we know about some of the booths and offerings returning for the festival, we’re still waiting to hear the full list of booths, menus, and special events/offerings that will be available. However, we do already know that some major changes are expected to take place, so prepare yourselves!
Magic Kingdom is changing in a big way — and it doesn’t look like Disney has any plans to stop those changes!

Splash Mountain is being transformed into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and we’ve seen the closure of Country Bear Jamboree to make way for a new version of the classic attraction. But, there are even bigger updates planned for Magic Kingdom and we’re digging into a map that might give us some clues about what we can expect!
Disney is not the only streaming service currently on a roll of canceling many of their shows, but we have heard a LOT of their cancelation news recently!

Bob Iger, Disney’s CEO is really focused on making Disney’s streaming profitable, and Disney+ has increased by 6 million subscribers since his return. However, we have also seen a massive uptick in shows being canceled.
This Walt Disney World opening day attraction will be this month.
Hall of Presidents
Located in Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square, the Hall of Presidents has been a part of the fabric of the park since Walt Disney World opened in 1971. Described by Disney as a place where you can “behold all 45 Presidents of the United States in a stirring show tracing the nation’s history.” However, no one will be able to do so for two days in June.
We live for an EPCOT festival.
EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
The seasonal festivals in EPCOT bring scavenger hunts, art, gardens, and of course FOOD. Trying all the food and drinks at every booth is one of our favorite Disney World activities. However, since these are seasonal festivals, they’re only around for a limited time. There are four festivals that you can take part in throughout the year — Festival of the Arts, Flower and Garden Festival, Food and Wine Festival, and Festival of the Holidays. Currently, the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is ongoing, but that will be changing VERY soon.
