Toontown is almost back, Disneyland fans!
Toontown
We’re counting down the days until March 19th when Toontown will finally reopen to the public after its lengthy refurbishment. We’ve already gotten to ride the land’s new attraction, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, but now there’s more news — new FOOD has just been announced!

Pacific Wharf is becoming San Fransokyo Square, the Paradise Pier Hotel is being rethemed, and a new DVC tower is being built at the Disneyland Hotel. We’ve been keeping an eye on construction, and now Disney has shared a first look at the new villas!
We’re only a few days away from the official opening of a new ride in Disneyland!

The Festival of the Arts is kicking off in a few weeks at EPCOT, and After Hours events are returning to Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios in January. But one of the first things that’s coming up soon is the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend from runDisney, and we just got a sneak peek at the event merchandise!
We’ve been following the progress of the new rollercoaster coming to Magic Kingdom:Â TRON Lightcycle Run.

From ride testing to music, we’ve been watching the ride inch closer to its spring 2023 opening. And today, we got an even closer look at what to expect from this new thrill ride!
It’s FINALLY time!
Train!
The Walt Disney World Railroad is reopening after being closed since 2018. The train got a bit of a makeover, including a new narration and a new route that just so happens to go under Magic Kingdom’s newest attraction — TRON Lightcycle Run. We got the chance to climb aboard the train, and now we’re showing you what it’s like to go through the TRON tunnel on the train in Magic Kingdom.
There are a LOT of highly anticipated Marvel movies and shows coming soon!

If you’ve seen the trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, you’re probably pretty hyped, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is likely going to be a very popular movie. But on top of that, we’re getting a second season of multiple hit Disney+ series, including the fan-favorite Loki!
The holidays are here in Disney World, but not every event has kicked off yet!
EPCOT Christmas Tree!
While Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party has already begun, there’s another major celebration that won’t be here until after Thanksgiving — the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays! The festival starts on November 25th and we already know about the entertainment, food booths, and more. And now, we have a FIRST LOOK at the Festival of the Holidays merchandise coming SOON!
Okay, Beauty and the Beast fans, we’ve got some BIG news to share with you!

Remember when we told you about the Beauty and the Beast special that was in the works, starring Josh Groban as the Beast and H.E.R. as Belle? Then we all got excited when Disney confirmed Shania Twain as Mrs. Potts and Martin Short as Lumiere. Well, we’ve got a first look at the special now!
Have you been to Disney World to celebrate its 50th anniversary yet? If you have, you’ve probably tried some delicious 50th anniversary snacks, seen the 50th anniversary statues, and bought some 50th anniversary merchandise.
EPCOT turns 40 this year!
But another BIG milestone is coming soon in Disney World — EPCOT will celebrate its 40th anniversary on October 1st, 2022!
