food IS a theme park
We think the 999 Haunted Mansion ghosts are at it again…
Haunted Mansion
It’s officially spooky season in Disney World, and things are already looking festive! Which is a perfectly good time for Disney to…close the Haunted Mansion for refurbishment? The ride was scheduled to reopen on August 10th after a brief closure, but it doesn’t look as though things are going according to plan…
If you’re heading to Magic Kingdom over the next couple of days, you might want to sit down.
Partners Statue in Disney World
An iconic Disney World ride is officially closed — but don’t worry too much, because it won’t be down for long. That doesn’t mean it won’t potentially impact your trip, though, and we’ve got all the details on what might be happening during the closure.
Are there just some rides in Magic Kingdom that are non-negotiable every time you visit?
Pirates of the Caribbean
We know we prefer a lot of the classic rides. We can’t imagine not riding Jungle Cruise, Space Mountain, or “it’s a small world” (hey, don’t judge us! We LOVE that song). Another classic that we can rely on is Pirates of the Caribbean, except, well, that ride has been particularly UNRELIABLE recently.
Are we ready for a new attraction in Disney World or what?
Tiana’s Foods Water Tower
Okay, so we’ve already had a few new attractions open in the past few years. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT keeps blowing our minds. TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom has taken us into the grid and back again. We can’t wait to experience Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana at EPCOT. But we might be most excited about the work being done on the former Splash Mountain to create Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. So let’s see how “Almost There” the attraction is.
Listen, there’s one thing you’re probably FORGETTING to do before you go to Disney World…and you’re setting yourself up for disappointment!
Cinderella Castle
If you’re not checking the day calendar on the Disney World website before your trip, then you’re probably missing out on all the refurbishment information that you need to know. On the Disney World website, you can find information about these brief closures and know what to expect during your trip — that way you don’t arrive at Magic Kingdom to find that your favorite ride is closed. And today, we’re issuing you a WARNING about a popular ride!
Who knew that movies themed to Disney rides would be such a thing right now?
What Disney ride should get a movie next?
We won’t lie, we thoroughly enjoyed the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. We also laughed at every single pun in the Jungle Cruise movie. And we’re DYING (see what we did there?) to see the new Haunted Mansion movie. But what ride movie should Disney do next? Well, one major star has offered up a pretty amazing suggestion.
There is SO much to see, do, and EAT at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Hollywood Studios
From grabbing some of your favorite snacks to meeting Pixar characters to checking out some amazing shows, Hollywood Studios has a little something for everyone. However, Hollywood Studios also has some of the most popular rides in Disney World — and well, we were feeling mischievous, so we pitted those rides against each other and asked you to vote on them. So let’s see what rides YOU think are the best in Hollywood Studios.
A lot has changed in Disney World, and even more changes are on the way.
Magic Kingdom
A new ride recently opened in Magic Kingdom. New restaurants are coming to Disney’s BoardWalk Inn and Disney Springs. Splash Mountain has closed forever to be reimagined into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure — and as a result, the My Disney Experience app has changed.
It’s always a little depressing when a beloved ride closes in Disney World — even if it’s just temporary!
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
Sometimes the closure is permanent, like Splash Mountain, which is getting re-themed to become Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Other times, ride closures are temporary due to technical issues. And sometimes, rides need to close to get some well-needed maintenance. That’s the case with a ride in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which just reopened after a months-long closure.
