food IS a theme park
We just got a BUNCH of news about the upcoming year for Disneyland Resort!
Disney California Adventure
We got more details about festivals, events, and information about the 70th anniversary celebration. As well, we also got the official closing date for the Red Car Trolley.
When Disney first announced that Monsters, Inc. Land would be coming to Hollywood Studios, they left out where this new land would be located.

Based on the concept art and the layout of Hollywood Studios, fans speculated that it would go in place of the Animation Courtyard or Muppets Courtyard. Fast forward to about three months later, and Disney finally revealed the new land’s location. The brand-new Monsters, Inc. Land will be taking the current location of Muppets Courtyard.
Some BIG changes are coming to Disney World, and we’re not sure we’re ready for them (okay, we ARE, but we aren’t, if you know what we mean).
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Magic Kingdom is getting the biggest expansion EVER with a new Cars-themed area in Frontierland AND a Villains-themed land (and WE ARE SO READY TO BE BAD WITH OUR FAVORITE DISNEY BADDIES). In Hollywood Studios, a new Monsters, Inc. land will be under construction soon. And in Animal Kingdom, Dinoland, U.S.A. is about to change FOREVER (okay, it’s actually going away) to become Pueblo Esperanza, a new Tropical Americas-themed land. Ahead of that transformation, a BIG change is coming to Animal Kingdom soon.
Okay, so a LOT is going on in Magic Kingdom now, and we get it — our heads are spinning, too, trying to keep up with all of it.
Jungle Cruise
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opened. Country Bear Jamboree reopened with a new show. A WHOLE new Cars land is coming that will replace Tom Saywer Island and Rivers of America (and we’re still not sure HOW to feel about that). PLUS a Villains land is on the way. So in all that chaos, you might have missed an important announcement about a classic ride in Magic Kingdom. So we’re filling you in: Jungle Cruise will temporarily close as of tomorrow.
You have less than three weeks to visit an EPCOT exhibit before it temporarily closes!
American Adventure Pavilion
Something new is coming to the American Adventure Pavilion in EPCOT, which means that part of the EPCOT World Showcase pavilion will soon be closing.
How do you get to Disney World?
Do you fly to Disney World?
We’re guessing that a lot of you probably fly into Orlando International Airport (or even Orlando Sanford Airport). We know many of you are big fans of Southwest, but we’re sure you use other airlines, too. That’s why we try to keep you updated on the latest airline discounts, news, and updates. Well, we’ve got an update for those of you who fly to Disney World from Canada.
A LOT is going on in Magic Kingdom right now.
Country Bear Jamboree
Not only is Tiana’s Bayou Adventure under construction (and we keep looking for more updates on that ride every day), but another attraction is closing to get a brand new update. That attraction is Country Bear Jamboree, which is closing TOMORROW, January 27th. Now, we know you might not ever think an attraction like this would bring crowds to Magic Kingdom, but on its last day, well, Country Bear Jamboree was pretty popular!
It’s still January, but a LOT has already changed in Disney World in 2024.

Park pass reservations are no longer required for most Disney World visitors. All-day park hopping is back (no more waiting until 2PM). The Disney Dining Plan has made a return. We’re seeing a LOT of progress on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Well, ANOTHER attraction is about to change in Disney World and it could affect your upcoming plans in Magic Kingdom.
You can do all the planning necessary to make sure you have a seamless and PERFECT Disney World trip, but sometimes things still happen that throw a wrench in those amazing plans.
A rainy day in Magic Kingdom
Sometimes you have to deal with flight delays and cancelations. Sometimes there are technical issues that cause ride closures. Sometimes, bad weather can affect both your flights and the theme park rides, and, well, we’ve got some bad news on that front for this weekend.
Okay, so you’ve probably heard us say it before, but when it comes to good food, Disneyland might just outrank Disney World.
New Orleans Square
Now, don’t get us wrong — we LOVE the food in Disney World, but Disneyland has some unique offerings you can only find on the West Coast. The corn dogs are CLASSIC and The churros are 🔥🔥🔥. There’s also Blue Bayou, which lets you eat INSIDE the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. Well, if you were planning on dining there soon, you might want to re-think your plans.
