food IS a theme park
Disney dropped A LOT of news on us! There is a lot happening in Disney World, and we have some updates for you.
Magic Kingdom
From closure dates for some attractions in Disney’s Animal Kingdom to the opening date for Jingle Cruise in Magic Kingdom, we are rounding up ALL the announcements Disney made on October 14th, 2024, so you are up to date with the latest Disney World news.
We’ve got big news for Disney World water park fans!
Blizzard Beach
A huge hotel perk is in store for water parks in 2025, and we’ve even spotted some signs that Disney is hard at work getting things ready for the winter season. Yep, at least one Disney World water park stays open year-round, and in fact, Blizzard Beach is entirely winter-themed. This water park has been closed since March, but now we officially know when it will reopen!
Change is brewing at EPCOT!
EPCOT
We’ve been seeing a lot of changes happening around Disney World in the past few years, and that won’t be changing anytime soon. In late 2023, Disney announced a TON of changes that will be coming to Disney Parks around the world. There has been a lot of talk about the reimagining of Dinoland, USA, as well as an expansion at Magic Kingdom to name a few of the changes we should be expecting to see within the coming years. However, there were some smaller changes and updates thrown into their plans, and we will be seeing the first one begin — SOON. [Read more…]
Things are always changing in Disneyland — after all, that’s what Walt Disney wanted.
Downtown Disney
Rides close and new rides arrive. Entire lands get updated. New lands get added. Expansions are planned. Restaurants also close. That last bit might be the saddest part for us, by the way. We learned recently that a restaurant would close in Disneyland’s Downtown Disney dining and shopping district, but we’ve got some good news: the restaurant has delayed its closing date by a week.
A LOT is happening in Disney World, especially with its restaurants.
Fort Wilderness
TWO new restaurants just recently opened (Rosa Mexicano and Roundup Rodeo BBQ). We’ve been watching 50th anniversary snacks beginning to disappear (although some have returned without their 50th bling). We already know that one restaurant is set to close at a resort, but now we have a clue as to when that closing could happen!
We didn’t think we’d be hearing any bigger news than Disney CEO Bob Iger stepping down today!
Spaceship Earth
But that was before Disney just announced the DATE Spaceship Earth (as we know it!) will be CLOSING!
