food IS a theme park
A Disney World food court has FINALLY completely reopened!
World Premiere Food Court
We’re so excited to share that World Premiere Food Court is completely done with its refurbishment. This was a multi-month long project that has come to an end with the reopening of Rialto, the coffee and ice cream shop inside the food court. However, while this food court’s refurbishment is over, we’re still waiting for another one to wrap up.
At this point, you’ve probably heard all about the changes that are coming to the Disney parks in 2025 and beyond.
Muppet Courtyard Restrooms
From all the new attractions to entire land re-themes, it feels like the parks are going to be in a constant state of transformation. But you know what? One of the things that we don’t really think about with all these changes are the bathrooms. We just recently came to grips with the fact that Disney confirmed that they will be permanently closing the Muppets Courtyard bathroom with the re-imagining of the area to the new Monsters, Inc. Land. And now, we’re starting to get a little concerned about another fan-favorite bathroom over in Animal Kingdom. Here’s why.
Are you planning on spending New Year’s Eve at Disney World?
2024 New Year’s Hat
While New Year’s Eve is one of the busiest days at Disney World, it’s clearly popular for a reason. Tons of people enjoy ringing in the new year at the Most Magical Place on Earth, and we understand why! It’s a very special way to start the brand-new year, especially with the New Year events scheduled at many locations. Typically, we see fireworks and countdowns at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, but this year, you can celebrate the beginning of 2025 with a bang at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, as well!
2024 is coming to an end, which means it is time to ring in the New Year.
Last year’s fireworks at Magic Kingdom
Disney World knows how to celebrate the holidays, and many people flock to the Most Magical Place on Earth to celebrate the New Year. While the Park Pass Reservation System may seem like a thing of the past, it still is a thing and if you were looking to snag a reservation for New Year’s Eve, you are going to want to hurry as reservations are filling up FAST!
If there’s one thing we know about The Walt Disney Company, it’s that they like to keep us on our toes. You never know what Disney might announce! Who would have guessed that a Villains show is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios?! From Magic Kingdom to EPCOT to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, every single Disney park will change in 2025. What does that mean for you? Well, your trips will change, too!
Cinderella Castle
If you’re planning a Disney World trip in 2025, you’re going to want to listen carefully. Three of the four parks – Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios – are about to become complete construction zones. In a few years, these big changes will totally enhance Disney World. But for the next few months…it’s going to be, well, a mess. These are the biggest news drops that will change your trips to Disney World in 2025.
We can’t believe it, but we are DAYS away from Christmas! Park Pass Reservations have been becoming more and more scarce for Christmas week. Magic Kingdom Park Passes are sold out from December 24th through December 31st, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is sold out on December 27th, and EPCOT is sold out on December 31st.
Magic Kingdom
Some days in January are also selling out now, and we have ALL the details for you!
Disney is expensive. That’s a true statement no matter how you book your trip.
Hollywood Studios
There are ways to make your trip cheaper, sure, and we are sure to tell you those every time we can so you know how to ball on a budget! However, the cheapest Disney trip is to not take one, if we’re being honest, but then it’s not a trip at all, so that won’t do! Dining is an area that can easily make or break your budget fast, so if you find yourself in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and want to eat a meal that’ll be filling but also cost the fewest dollars, we’ve got you covered!
I’m the kind of person who could get lost in their own house. I have literally NO sense of direction, and I don’t drive anywhere I haven’t been to at least a dozen times without using Google Maps and navigation.
So we know just how big Disney World is, right? And although the parks are laid out in a way that sort of makes sense (well, not you, Hollywood Studios), I can still get lost. Imagine if you’re someone like me with no sense of direction who’s never been to the parks before? Well, there’s a handy Google Maps feature the DFB team just uncovered that could make navigating the parks a lot easier — if you plan ahead.
Isn’t it wild how close we are to 2025?!
Welcome to the Most Magical Place on Earth!
And if you’re planning a Disney World trip in 2025, you’re going to want to brace yourself. Three of the four parks – Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios – are about to enter construction chaos. Big changes are coming, which is exciting in the long term, but in the short term? It’s going to be a mess. Let’s break down why these parks might have you reaching for an extra churro (or three) to cope.
It might be winter in Florida, but we’re celebrating the reopening of a pool at Disney World!
Port Orleans — French Quarter
A pool at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort—French Quarter briefly closed, but it is once again open to hotel guests! Not too many people might be going swimming in December, but it’s still good to see these refurbishments come to an end.
