food IS a theme park
Between new restaurants, rides, and rethemed classics, Disney is always trying to keep things interesting and exciting for us!
Cinderella Castle
But, more often than not, that means a bit of renovation is needed in order to make it happen. Keeping up with the latest construction permits Disney files can be a great way to find out just what is going on around the parks and hotels, and we just found a pretty exciting one!
Summer is nearly here and although summers at Disney World are a blast, there are still some downsides you need to be warned about.
Cinderella Castle
Between large crowds and hurricane season, Disney World can be tricky to navigate during the summer months. However, one of the most glaring issues is the heat — and Disney World guests will be feeling it in spades this week!
It takes a lot to keep Disney World running in tip-top shape like Walt Disney always imagined.
Main Street Train Station
From new restaurants and rides to rethemed classics, Disney is always trying to keep things interesting and exciting for visitors! But, sometimes that means they have to do a bit of renovating in order to make it happen. A new permit we just found makes us think that an opening-day Magic Kingdom ride might be getting a refresh!
Just when we thought EPCOT’s massive transformation was over, Disney pulled a stunt that made us think more changes could be on the way for this park.
EPCOT
We knew that Test Track would be reimagined to take inspiration from World of Motion, the ride that was originally there when the park opened in 1982, and we just spotted the first permit for that work. But, another iconic EPCOT ride might be next on the refurb list because a new construction permit was just filed!
It’s a great time to be a Disney World fan thanks to all the exciting new things happening all around the resort!
EPCOT
New hotel updates are coming to the Polynesian Village Resort, and new restaurants are popping up soon at the BoardWalk Inn, too. Not only that, but Disney announced that a popular EPCOT ride — Test Track — would be reimagined later this summer. And now, we’ve got a major update on the project!
A form of Disney World transportation just got an adorable new makeover!
Disney bus
We visit Disney World every day and when we see something new we’re super excited to share it! From new construction details to the return of a tasty treat, something new is happening at Disney World all the time. Recently, we saw the rollout of a new transportation design, and Pixar fans, especially, should get a kick out of it!
We’re constantly watching Disney improve and update its parks and resorts.
Cinderella Castle
Currently, several Disney World hotels are under refurbishment, as well as a few attractions so that they can keep everything up to date. But one Disney World offering that also needs to stay updated is the transportation — and we’ve got some exciting news about Disney buses!
It’s widely known as the “Disney World of Gas Stations” for a reason.
Buc-ee’s
Yes, we’re here today to talk about Buc-ee’s! The iconic gas station was once a Texas-exclusive, but is now spreading like wildfire all over the southeast. What makes it so iconic, you ask? Well, for one — it’s HUGE. In true Texas fashion, it’s bigger than all its competitors and boasts over 100 gas pumps at most locations, car washes, roomy and clean restrooms, and so much food, snacks, and merchandise that it’s almost overwhelming. The chain has gone viral in recent years for the food, and while we’d had a few things here and there on roadtrips, we felt it was time to do an actual REVIEW now that a Buc-ee’s is being built in Central Florida. So, put on your stretchy pants, fasten your seatbelts, and let’s go to Buc-ee’s!
Another day, another Disney World change.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
No matter when you visit the parks, there’s a pretty good chance that they’ll be at least a little bit different than the last time you were there. But, that usually means Disney is working on the latest and greatest new attraction or experience to bring to folks. Whether it’s a big change or small, we’re on the lookout for it — and we may have just found one in Animal Kingdom!
We’re two months into 2024, and it’s already time to start planning those 2025 Disney World vacations!
Magic Kingdom
Yep, 2025 Vacation bookings JUST opened, even though it’s only February. This came as quite a surprise to a lot of Disney fans, as booking typically doesn’t start until later in the spring. For example, 2024 bookings opened on May 31st, 2023. We aren’t complaining, though. This just means we have EXTRA time to get our ducks in a row for 2025. Overall, tickets saw price increases throughout the year. However, there are, of course, still CHEAPER times to go. Let’s talk about it!
