food IS a theme park
Did you snag your FastPasses for Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway yet? You know, the zany, trackless dark ride that takes you into Mickey and Minnie’s wacky cartoon world and where anything (and we mean ANYTHING!) can happen?

Well, you might want to grab one (if they are still available) because the new attraction opens on March 4th, 2020!
Hooray for Hollywood! Disney’s Hollywood Studios that is and we’re back to check out all the new glitz and glamour at the park.
Hollywood Studios
There’s a lot of hype building for Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway that will be opening on March 4th, but for now, we’re turning our eyes to some other construction updates and new merch. Let’s get started!
Ah, Disney World — the Most Magical Place on Earth and, potentially, also the place with the most construction barriers on Earth! Okay, okay, maybe we’re exaggerating; but there is a LOT of construction in Disney World right now. Just think about all of the different refurbishments we’re seeing around the parks!
Construction Outside of Test Track Cool Wash
Well, we like to be on top of the closures and construction and upcoming stuff so that YOU guys know how to plan around all of it. And that means keeping an eye on the building permits and patents that Disney World files.
Sometimes we see permits for work that’s visible in the parks, like for the upcoming Regal Eagle Smokehouse in Epcot or for the maintenance on Splash Mountain in Magic Kingdom. However, a lot of the permits and patents we see are for work that isn’t visible to the public…yet! So, here are a few secret, backstage updates that you CAN’T see in Disney World!
Wocka wocka! The Muppets have been slowly taking over our newsfeed lately, from the anticipated opening of Regal Eagle hosted by Sam Eagle, to the latest renovation of Muppet*Vision 3D!
The Muppets Fountain
After spotting the newest Muppets Loungefly backpacks in Hollywood Studios today, we didn’t think the day could get any better! Boy, were we wrong because we just found a whole collection of new Muppets apparel! You may or may not see us dressed from head-to-toe in Muppets merchandise in the coming weeks, don’t judge!
Fans of Indiana Jones are likely in on the ways you can celebrate all things Indy in the Disney Parks.
Indiana Jones Adventure
In Disneyland, for instance, there’s the Indiana Jones Adventure. In Walt Disney World, you can check out the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular and raise a glass at Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar. And now, you can go on an Indiana-inspired search for a certain treasure that you can take home: the new Indiana Jones Mickey Mouse Plush! [Read more…]
We’re just a few weeks away from the official opening of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! (HAVE YOU GRABBED YOUR FASTPASSES YET?!)

In anticipation of the opening of this new attraction, we’ve seen a TON of adorable video short posters being released — it almost feels like there’s a new poster to talk about every day! The latest one has our hearts soaring to the highest of peaks, and you’ll see why!
We were so excited when Muppet*Vision 3D reopened a few days ago and the Statue of Miss Piggy returned safely to her perch after stepping away for a little bit to “powder her nose!”

And it just keeps getting better if you’re a fan of The Muppets in Disney World right now! While Epcot’s Regal Eagle Smokehouse is poised to open at any moment (fronted by the great Muppet patriot Sam Eagle!) we ALSO spotted some adorable new Muppet Loungefly Backpacks today!
We realize the Black Spire Outpost is situated on a far-away alien planet, but things took a truly bizarre turn on Batuu this morning!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Hollywood Studios
And right about now, you should be considering yourself VERY lucky if you visited Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Hollywood Studios before Rise of the Resistance opened!
Hollywood Studios has been getting the galactic treatment recently with the grand opening of the Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. (And, it’s basically the coolest ride EVER.)

But, just like we had to say goodbye to our friends at the end of The Rise of Skywalker, we might have to bid farewell to some beloved Star Wars entertainment in the park soon.
Everyone has their own unique strategy for how they like to tackle all four of the Disney World theme parks during their vacations!
Space Mountain
And while many folks swear by rope dropping — the correct way to rope drop remains shrouded in mystery for many (you may not even know what a rope drop IS!).
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
