food IS a theme park
At D23, we finally got to hear all about the Magic Kingdom expansion!
Villains Land is coming to Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom is about to receive significant upgrades. Villains Land will be added “Beyond Big Thunder Mountain,” and a new Cars Land will replace Tom Sawyer Island. While we know that some Disney fans have mixed emotions about the addition of Cars Land in Frontierland, we have some good news!
Magic Kingdom has some BIG changes in store for it in the coming years!
Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom will be getting a new nighttime parade called “Disney Starlight” in 2025, and Disney has also announced that a Villains Land AND a Cars Land will be coming to Magic Kingdom. Disney fans have been very divided over the new Cars Land, especially the proposed location. But what will the impact of this Frontierland change really be?
A lot of things can happen that can impact your day in Disney World.
For example, bad weather can close rides, cancel entertainment, and more (it’s also why we tell you to ALWAYS pack rain gear). Sometimes, rides have technical issues and close while those issues are fixed behind the scenes. Sometimes, things just happen, and we don’t know why, but something odd was going on in Magic Kingdom this morning, resulting in the cancelation of two cavalcades.
Fans of the Country Bear Musical Jamboree it’s time to listen up because we have MORE news coming your way!
Hey, Big Al!
This time, we have news coming from the West Coast in Disneyland! While the Country Bears no longer play their jamboree over in Disneyland, they will again be featured in Walt’s original theme park. This time, you’ll find some of their favorite food and music showcased at a reimagined restaurant!
The day has finally come for the public to enjoy one of Disney World’s opening day attractions once again!
The NEW Country Bear Musical Jamboree!
Well, if we’re being technical, the original edition of this show is now in the past, but Country Bear Musical Jamboree is officially open! We got a sneak peek at the show before its official opening to check it out, but now that you’re getting ready to experience itself, we really have to break down some of these changes!
Country Bear Jamboree closed in January so Disney could open the reimagined Country Bear Musical Jamboree — a new show with our favorite Bears as they sing classic Disney songs with bluegrass, pop-country, Americana, and rockabilly twists.
It’s back!
While we’ve spotted plenty of Easter eggs and nods to the original show in the new version, we wanted to take a deep dive into what’s changed — so let’s check it out!
It’s finally HERE!
Let’s go!
We have been waiting MONTHS to see the new rendition of the iconic, opening day attraction Country Bear Jamboree in Frontierland. The attraction had its last day of operation in its original form on January 26th, 2024 and then went under refurbishment. Now the attraction is finally open again, and we got a first look at the new show!

This iconic show has been updated in a big way with new character costumes, songs, and more. But just what songs are now featured in the show? Have any of your old favorites remained? We got a peek at the updated attraction ahead of its official opening and now we’ve got all the answers!
EVERYONE has their own park strategy for Disney World, especially when it comes to rides.
Magic Kingdom entrance
Many of us are not going to get up early to rope drop, no matter what (we like our sleep). We’ll just get Genie+ (Disney’s paid skip-the-line service) and hit a ride’s Lightning Lane (the exclusive, paid, shorter line) later if it’s available (although with the new Genie+ changes, sleeping in may be a bit more convenient). Others are going to be at the parks BEFORE they open, either using Early Theme Park Entry, or standing in line at the front gates to get in for rope drop — then we’re going to speed walk to our favorite attractions. If you fall into that latter category, there’s one ride in Disney World you won’t be able to rope drop — even if you try.
One of the best things about the Disneyland Resort (undoubtedly) is the FOOD and it’s even better when the price is super affordable!
Frontierland
It’s no secret that if you’re looking to save a buck or two at the Disney Parks, quick service is the way to go. These restaurants sacrifice comfort and luxury dining for quick and cheap meals that are perfect if you’re on the go. Fortunately, Disneyland has a ton of very good quick service options, including an incredibly underrated one over at Frontierland in Disneyland Park!
