food IS a theme park
We have a serious fascination with abandoned areas at Disney World, and another spot has caught our attention!
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
When you think about it, Disney World is full of abandoned things from restaurants, to attractions, to hotels. With that list growing larger, it’s hard not to worry about a once popular spot turned practically vacant.
We love Figment and are enjoying all the new representation he is getting in the parks!
Hey Figment!
Besides Journey Into Imagination with Figment (which needs a serious update), we love that Disney recently added a Figment meet-and-greet in the Imagination Pavailion’s ImageWorks! Figment now even has his section at the newly re-opened and re-imagined Ever After store in Disney Springs. Although Figment is quite a lovable fellow, we don’t like to ride his attraction for this awkward reason.
Fans of Figment might have a reason to get excited!

Currently, EPCOT is finishing up its massive transformation, or so we thought! Just as CommuniCore Hall is about to open, taking down some of the last walls in EPCOT, it was announced that Test Track will be re-imagined and closing on June 17th, meaning that construction at EPCOT is far from over. Now, Disney just filed for a new permit for the Imagination Pavilion in EPCOT!
Just when we thought EPCOT’s massive transformation was over, Disney pulled a stunt that made us think more changes could be on the way for this park.
EPCOT
We knew that Test Track would be reimagined to take inspiration from World of Motion, the ride that was originally there when the park opened in 1982, and we just spotted the first permit for that work. But, another iconic EPCOT ride might be next on the refurb list because a new construction permit was just filed!
Not all Disney World rides are created equal.
Disney World
Without question, Disney World offers some of the best theme park attractions IN THE WORLD. From innovative Star Wars experiences to a journey through Pandora, the world of Avatar, Disney World boasts some insanely popular rides. However, not every ride is a huge hit with the park guests, and our experts have pinpointed two rides that severely lack in popularity.
Patience may be a virtue, but that doesn’t mean it’s always necessary.

When booking a trip to Disney World, it’s imperative to understand you’re going to do a lot of waiting. Whether it be for your favorite ride, a new show, or sit-down dining, part of the Disney World experience is the endless abundance of lines. Although Disney World has gotten better with queue theming and virtual queues, you’re still wasting so much time doing nothing. With that said, there are select Disney World attractions with average wait times that are sure to put a smile on your face.

This is one of our favorite parts about the holidays in EPCOT and we’re here to tell you all about the rides you need to check out so you can see the festive changes!
A popular ride in EPCOT is going to be temporarily CLOSED this week!
EPCOT
Luckily that closure is only expected to last for a single day. However, there are currently a few other closures in Disney World that are lasting much longer than a day. Let’s check out all the temporary closures in Disney World for the week of October 8th through the 14th.
Disney World is always thinking up ways to keep things new and interesting in the parks.
EPCOT
But sometimes, that means we have to say goodbye to some of our favorite attractions. Whether it’s permanent or temporary, nothing stings worse than getting to the park only to realize that the ride you’ve been dreaming about is closed. And if you’ve got a trip to EPCOT planned, there’s an upcoming closure you need to know about.
