food IS a theme park
that PizzeRizzo, the muppets-themed counter-service pizza joint in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, was doomed to be a “seasonal” operation…meaning it would only open during the busiest seasons.

After a long closure, it seems that Rizzo the Rat’s restaurant is showing as open again on the Disney World website. But for how long?
It’s not often we get to use our Hot Dog Alert, but today’s the day: Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom will stop selling foot-long hot dogs and monthly Hot Diggity Dogs!

Great news (maybe?) if you’re going to be a Disney World hotel guest after Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens on August 29th!
Disney is extending park hours AND adding more Extra Magic Hour options to alleviate the Galaxy’s Edge crowds that will be flooding the Orlando parks this fall. So…yeah…it’s gonna be CROWDED in Disney World, but at least you can plan to get up really early and maybe not get as lost in the sea of humanity as you would have otherwise.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
FYI, Extra Magic Hours are times when the parks are open exclusively for guests staying at resort hotels that offer the Extra Magic Hour benefit — those include the Disney World-owned resort hotels and several good neighbor hotels in the area.
They’re usually only offered at one or two parks per day, but this year, from September 1-November 2, those guests will be able to experience Extra Magic Hours at three Disney World theme parks…EVERY SINGLE DAY.
