food IS a theme park
Congratulations! You’ve made it this far through 2024 and we’re proud of you. It’s so far into the year that it’s already time to talk about June at Disney World!
Sunset Boulevard
Not only is June the start of hurricane season, but it also marks some HUGE milestones for Disney World. Two major attractions are opening, characters are getting new meet-and-greet spots, a popular EPCOT ride is closing, and so much more. Keep scrolling so that you’re in the know for your next Disney World visit!
Let’s face it. One of the best parts about visiting Disney World is shopping for souvenirs.
EPCOT
Shopping for souvenirs at EPCOT can be particularly exciting, because along with all the traditional Disney World merchandise, you also have access to the cultural merchandise that you’ll find around World Showcase. Some of our FAVORITE souvenirs can be found throughout World Showcase, and today we’re taking you along with us for a special one. Let’s go!
If you’re anything like us, you’re probably already gearing up for spooky season even though it’s already May.
Halloween in Magic Kingdom
Tickets for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party went on sale recently, and we’ve already snagged our tickets for the event. If you’re hoping to attend Disney World’s special ticketed Halloween party, you’ll want to do the same. Why? Well, one date is officially sold out, and we have a feeling that more dates will follow!
For many of us, the rides in Disney World are a huge draw to the parks.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Between all four parks (and water parks if you want to include them), there are a TON of rides for everyone of all ages. Some are classics while others are brand new. There are fan favorites and ones that will never let you down. But every ride has the possibility to cause injuries. Disney works hard to keep every ride safe and in pristine working condition. They meet safety standards, and you shouldn’t worry about being hurt on them on a regular basis. However, accidents do happen. So we’re taking a look at the 10 rides with the MOST injuries in Disney World — some may surprise you!
A building in EPCOT is being repurposed for several weeks, and only certain people will be allowed inside!
EPCOT
It’s possible that not every Disney fan would be able to point out the Odyssey pavilion on a map, but if you’ve been to any of the EPCOT festivals, there’s a good chance that you’ve been inside it! This pavilion is frequently used to house EPCOT festival booths — it has hosted booths like Figment’s Inspiration Station at the Festival of the Arts and Brew-Wing at the Food & Wine Festival. Most recently, it’s been the home of Citrus Blossom at the Flower & Garden Festival (and if you haven’t gotten the tasty Orange Sesame Tempura Shrimp there yet, HURRY! They’ll only be around for about another week!).
Soon, the Odyssey will be repurposed, and this time it’s NOT going to be an EPCOT festival booth.
Calling all Tangled and Rapunzel fans! Fantasy Springs is FINALLY here, and so are its NEW RIDES — including one themed to the iconic Disney movie starring our favorite blondie.
Let’s go to the Lantern Festival!
Tokyo DisneySea’s highly anticipated new land, Fantasy Springs, is opening on June 6th; but we’re getting the chance to ride the land’s three BRAND NEW RIDES, including one based on a beloved Disney film that’s NEVER had a ride before. Welcome to Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival!
Are you a member of the Disney Vacation Club?
DVC Welcome Center in Disney Springs
Disney Vacation Club (DVC) is Disney’s timeshare service, where you can purchase points and then use those points to stay at Disney properties around the globe. Once you become a DVC member, there are some distinct perks you can get, including discounts on merchandise and food, as well as access to exclusive spaces. But one of those spaces is about to CLOSE temporarily!
We love finding out just what is going on around the Disney World parks and hotels, and keeping up with the latest construction permits Disney files is a great way to do it!
Cinderella Castle
Between new restaurants, rides, and rethemed classics, Disney is always trying to keep things interesting and exciting for us, and the EPCOT transformation is the perfect example. It’s all set to be completed next month, and we just got another sign that we’re getting closer and closer.
Disneyland food is just BETTER according to many Disney Parks visitors.
Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs
One iconic snack stand to grab a bite to eat is Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs, located in Downtown Disney. side from serving Disneyland’s Original Hand-dipped Corn Dogs, guests can also try a Golden Dragon Panko-Crusted Corn Dog. But keep an eye out for even more offerings! Signs at the stand will let you know when limited-time corn dogs are available. We’ve spied everything from a Pickle Corn Dog to a coconut-crusted dog! Now, though, we’ve spotted something new entirely, and we just HAVE to try it.
If you love Disney, country music, and some Country BEARS, you’re gonna want to listen up!
Country Bear Jamboree
Country Bear Jamboree was one of the opening day attractions at Magic Kingdom, opening alongside the park on October 1st, 1971. Last year, Disney announced that the attraction would be closing to make room for a new, updated version of the show. The original Country Bear Jamboree gave its final performances on January 26th, 2024. The new version of Country Bear Jamboree, the Country Bear Musical Jamboree, is set to debut in Summer 2024. While we don’t know exactly what the refreshed show will look like yet, other than that the bears will sing classic Disney songs in new styles like country, rockabilly, and bluegrass. We also just got a sneak peek of some of the bears’ COSTUMES!
