food IS a theme park
Last year Disney movie fans were treated to tons of sneak peeks at the D23 Expo!
Haunted Mansion
We saw all kinds of exciting updates, like a new trailer for the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, confirmation of Inside Out 2, and brand-new movie announcements! While D23 was nearly half a year ago, the trailers haven’t stopped! Disney just released an all-new trailer for the upcoming Haunted Mansion film, inspired by the iconic attraction.
We heard a ton of big news at this year’s D23 Expo, including an opening timeline for TRON: Lightcycle Run, a possible expansion for Magic Kingdom, and a potential overhaul of DinoLand U.S.A. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. But there was one very important thing MISSING from most of Disney’s announcements.
D23 Expo 2022
Although we heard about lots of general plans and potential projects, Disney shied away from giving any concrete, specific dates. Even for projects that are happening now and seem to be close to completion, we got very few specific details. So why all the secrecy? Does Disney not have concrete plans in place, or are they just holding back? [Read more…]
A massive Magic Kingdom expansion, a complete overhaul of DinoLand U.S.A. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and “Happily Ever After” returning as part of a new fireworks show — the announcements coming out of the 2022 D23 Expo were WILD.

But major announcements weren’t the only things to come out of this year’s Expo. We also saw some new merchandise collections, including ones that featured 100th Anniversary Mickey ears, Pilot Mickey, and Princess Tiana. Now, MORE D23 Expo merchandise is available online, and Amazon Prime members are in luck! [Read more…]
Yes, the 2022 D23 Expo was packed with exciting projects…but quite a few anticipated announcements were missing.
D23 Expo
We were excited to learn about new projects, like the retheming of Pacific Wharf in Disney California Adventure, the addition of Tiana’s Palace in Disneyland, and the possible new lands coming to Magic Kingdom. And we were pleased to hear updates on existing projects, like the reimagination of Mickey’s Toontown in Disneyland and TRON Lightcycle Run in Magic Kingdom. But there were a lot of existing and previously announced projects that were not mentioned during the event’s announcements — check them out.
Ever walked through Magic Kingdom and wished a Coco space could be added there? Or maybe you wished you could walk up to the Casita from Encanto? Well, those things MIGHT (keyword: MIGHT) be in your future!
Cinderella Castle
During the D23 Expo, we got to attend the panel all about the future of the Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products. During that panel, we got to hear about the return of the Happily Ever After theme song, a new fireworks show for EPCOT, and so much more. And among those announcements were some teasers for projects Disney is dreaming up!
There’s nothing that gets us more excited than a new trailer!

With Disney’s D23 expo underway, there have been lots of new exciting announcements from new merchandise to Disney Parks news. Now, Disney has released a NEW trailer that we think Star Wars fans will want to see!
We reported LIVE from the D23 Expo. Not only did we learn about a GIANT Te Fiti coming to EPCOT but we also saw an up-close look at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, which is the attraction replacing Splash Mountain in both Disney World and Disneyland. BUT. The fun is JUST getting started.

You may remember that a few months back we shared that Pixar would be releasing a brand new film called Elemental. Well, now never-before-seen details and footage have been released for the new film!
The D23 Expo has officially begun!
The D23 Expo Is Here!
This is Disney’s biggest event of the year, with a full-on fan convention taking place in Anaheim, a livestream available to watch from home, huge news reveals for rides coming to the parks, and much more. We’re covering everything you need to know about the Expo, and right now we’re focusing on one way you can celebrate from home.
Disney character meet-and-greets and other experiences could be changing in a BIG way…literally!
Think about the possibilities!
We’ve seen some incredible technology already in use in Disney World and some amazing technology potentially on the way. From an animatronic of Spider-Man that can actually fly through the sky to figures that have incredibly real movements, we’ve seen some great things already, but recently we got a closer look at one major project that could change character meet-and-greets forever.
The D23 Expo is coming up this weekend, which could mean big announcements about what’s coming up for the Disney parks and media. Will we hear about the next big Pixar movie? Or maybe FINALLY get an opening date for the TRON: Lightcycle Run ride in Magic Kingdom? Only time may tell! For now, you can prepare by checking out new merchandise that came out for the event!

Disney already released some D23 Expo merchandise on Amazon, but now we’re pulling out our wallets again because 2 MORE collections have arrived! Even if you’re not attending the D23 Expo, we think you’ll want to see these new items, which are available for purchase now. [Read more…]
