food IS a theme park
Disney’s $60 billion expansion plans aren’t quite what you think they are.
Cinderella Castle
Back in September 2023, Disney announced a massive investment in park expansions in the next ten years, but the company has largely been quiet on what exactly can we expect from these expansions. Now, Disney CEO Bob Iger is sharing more on what that $60 billion will cover.

Alright, if you’re reading this, you’re probably itching to book a trip to Disneyland. You probably also LOVE Halloween, and when you combine those two things, you end up with one of the most popular Disney Halloween events EVER: Oogie Boogie Bash.

We need to talk about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. But to do that, we actually need to talk about a CHRISTMAS party first. Whaaaat? Yes, really. Hear us out for a moment.
Jollywood Nights
Disney has announced ALL of the updates for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party in 2024, including dates, tickets, pricing and more! But to make our point, let us take you back in time to 2023. Last year, Disney debuted a brand-new holiday event called Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We attended the very first Jollywood Nights party, and honestly, it was a little chaotic. But THEN, we gave the party a try again LATER in December. It was a LOT different by the time a few more parties had gone by in Disney World. We can all learn an important lesson from this story, so let’s talk about the mistake we’re NOT going to make in 2024.

But amid all the hustle and bustle, a popular form of Walt Disney World transportation decided to take a vacation of its own. Yep, that’s right. The Disney World Monorail is down right now.
