This new ride has been under construction in Magic Kingdom since early 2023, but it’s set to open in just a few short weeks. A few lucky groups of folks —  Cast Members, Annual Passholders, D23 Members, and Disney Vacation Club Members — get to experience this attraction early and we were fortunate enough to be part of it! So, come with us for a FIRST LOOK at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disney World!
While we know it can be disappointing that EPCOT currently has no festival, something new just opened up!
EPCOT
We have been so excited to see EPCOT change and transform over the last few years. Soon, when CommuniCore Hall and Plaza open on June 10th, EPCOT’s transformation will be complete. Annual Passholders have gotten to enjoy a new and exclusive lounge in Morocco for about the past month, and don’t worry if you have not had a chance to visit, you still have until June 18th! And now there is a new addition to the American Adventure Pavilion!
If you’re looking for a luxurious escape in a Polynesian paradise still within the most magical place on earth, then you’re going to want to set your sights on the Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!

But how much are we looking at price-wise when booking a stay at The Island Tower? We have all the need-to-know info just for you!
Disney World is magical. You get the chance to step foot into the world of your favorite movies and stories and it really feels like a dream come true…until you’ve been standing in the hot blazing sun for an hour trying to score a ride on Slinky Dog.
Slinky Dog Dash
Now, this is not a dig at Slinky Dog Dash the ride (trust us, we love it!) but it is a dig at the ride’s queue. With rides being a big part of stepping into the magic of Disney movies and experiences, ride queues are inevitable to experience during your trip. And unfortunately, there are some UNCOMFORTABLE ride queue problems we just can’t ignore. Have an idea of what those may be? Let’s find out!
A previously SOLD OUT day is available again in Magic Kingdom!Â
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Last month, Walt Disney World announced the details on how previews would work for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure would work. For Annual Passholders, the procedure would require them to book a park pass reservation for one of the given dates, Once their reservation was secure, they would be able to attempt to join a virtual queue at 7:00AM and 1:00PM that day. The passes for available days sold out quickly, however we noticed one opened back up today.Â

Let’s go to Fantasy Springs!
Fantasy Springs has finally opened in Tokyo DisneySea, and we were there for the big occasion! A few weeks ahead of time, we got to tour the new land and check out the rides and food during a media event, but then we went BACK for the grand opening. And what surprised us most? Probably the crowds!
A lot is about to happen in Magic Kingdom.
Pirates of the Caribbean
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open on June 28th, but early previews of the new ride have already started for some Disney World visitors. A new MASSIVE expansion is coming to the park, too, along with a bar inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean. Yes, we said it — a Pirates of the Caribbean BAR is coming to Magic Kingdom. Now, we don’t have many details about this bar or where it will go, but y’all…we think we just found a HUGE clue about its location.
