food IS a theme park
A popular Disneyland restaurant will be closing soon!
Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland
If you are heading to Disneyland Park soon, we want to let you know about the upcoming closure of a popular dining location!
Well, we got some good news and bad news about Disney’s Hollywood Studios this year. The good news is that an ENTIRE new land themed around Monsters, Inc. is coming to the park — and it will feature the ride we’ve always dreamed of — a ride based on the doors chase scene in the movie! YES!!!
Muppets Courtyard in Hollywood Studios
But then we started wondering, where exactly would this new land go? Well, Disney gave us some bad news recently because we also learned this new land would be replacing Muppets Courtyard, closing Muppet*Vision 3D. BUT then we got good news AGAIN because Disney also announced Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is getting a new Muppets theme. Yes, we’ve been in a whirlwind of “Sweet Emotion” lately! BUT that means Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster will have to close…so when will that happen?
Sorry, Pop Century fans, but we have a bit of bad news for you.
Pop Century Resort
There has been ongoing construction at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, and while it was supposed to be done this week, it has now been extended once again. Luckily, it’s not all bad news, though! Let’s find out what Everything Pop Dining & Shopping construction will continue and what is done.
Hey, Disney fam! You’re gearing up for your trip to Disney World, right?
Magic Kingdom
Are you planning on hitting up Magic Kingdom in early January 2025?! Well, if you’re thinking of coming on January 5th, 2025, while that sounds like a day that should be a super chill post-holiday time to visit Magic Kingdom, I’m here to tell you that it could actually be a recipe for chaos. Let’s talk about why you might want to rethink being in the park on this particular date.
As the weather gets cooler in Florida, fewer people will find swimming an enticing activity.
Disney’s BoardWalk
It’s during the winter months that Disney will often close pools for refurbishment since there aren’t nearly as many people swimming when the temperatures are cooler. As we’re getting into the last months of the year, we’re starting to see hotel pools close, including one that will be closed until late December.
If you’ve been paying attention to Disney World, there are a whole lot of changes coming to the parks, especially at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Hollywood Studios
Hollywood Studios will be getting a new Villains stage show and a whole Monsters, Inc. Land complete with a first-of-it’s kind roller coaster for Disney World. And we just found out that Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is getting a retheme. But the thing that has been on our minds lately is The Little Mermaid, specifically the revision to the show that is coming to the park! Now, we’re excited about this new show, but more than that, we’re actually worried. Well, actually beyond worried. Let’s talk about why!
Another Disney World attraction will be temporarily closing SOON!
Magic Kingdom
Disney closes rides and attractions from time to time for short periods so they can conduct refurbishments. These refurbishments are often for routine maintenance, but sometimes changes are also made. We keep track of the big closures happening around the parks, and there’s a NEW one you should know about if you’re planning a trip to Magic Kingdom in the coming month.
Well, a lot is happening in Magic Kingdom right now.
Magic Kingdom
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opened earlier this year, but Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will be closed in 2025 for almost an entire year for a refurbishment. We’re already starting to see some construction happening around that ride. On top of that, a new Cars expansion is coming to Frontierland, which will permanently close Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island. Also, an entire new Villains land is set for the park at some point. Now, MORE change is on the way. A classic Disney World attraction will be closing soon for refurbishment.
If you are heading to Magic Kingdom in the next few days, we have some important news about one of its iconic attractions!

Disney World is about to be in a bit of a transformation.
Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy
New lands are coming to Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, AND Disney’s Hollywood Studios. New Cars attractions will be available at Magic Kingdom, and an all-new show is headed to Hollywood Studios. And that’s not even everything! However, to make way for several of these new things, some classic attractions have had to close. For example, Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy closed for good in Hollywood Studios on October 8th, but at least now we’re starting to see steps being taken for the new show to open!
