food IS a theme park
It’s the end of an era at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy
After “Ka-CHOW”-ing its final “Ka-CHOW,” Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy will entertain its final round of parkgoers TODAY, October 7th. The attraction is closing to make way for a new Disney Villains show, but we couldn’t let Lightning McQueen go without saying goodbye one last time.

It’s Target Circle Week y’all, and you know what that means? It’s time to SAVE!
Target
This is a fantastic time to grab some holiday gifts or birthday presents on sale and save them for later this year, or even next year, if you know your child/the gift receiver will still love it in a few months. We’ve got 20 Disney items you can get for under $20 RIGHT NOW online, but you’ll want to act fast to grab them before the deal is gone!
UPDATE: The debut of the new “The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure” show at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (which is the subject of this post) has been DELAYED. It is now set to open in the summer of 2025 (instead of fall 2024). Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest updates!
Fall is here! Although Disney World has been celebrating Halloween far before the season officially started.

However, fall is an important time for Disney as it has an attraction to deliver. A lot of the time, Disney uses seasons as a way to say something is opening without having to get a specific date. For example, when we got more information on the opening timeline of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, we just knew that it would open in summer 2024 after being moved up from the original timeline of late 2024. Once Disney was confident enough to give an exact date, it was announced that the attraction would open on June 28th, 2024. Another example of this is going on in Animal Kingdom right now. It was announced that Zootopia: Better Zoogether!, the show that is replacing It’s Tough to be a Bug!, will open in the winter of 2025. See? No exact date, and instead, a time frame. Well, the clock is ticking for one Hollywood Studios attraction that is set to open this fall.

A State of Emergency has been declared for several Florida counties, including the Disney World area, and Disney has even begun restricting hotel reservations due to the storm. Now, Disney has also waived its hotel cancelation fees in preparation for the storm.
Welcome to October, spooky DFB fans! We’re so happy that the Halloween season is really here.

Okay, YES, we’ve been in the Halloween spirit since July 5th, and especially after the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Disney World August, but October just makes it feel more official, right? So while we’re still trying all the fall and Halloween snacks in Disney World, we’re also keeping an eye on restaurant menus. So we’ve got some big menu changes to tell you about that happened this week.
OK, Disney fans. We have some GREAT news.
