Sorry, Pop Century fans, but we have a bit of bad news for you.
Pop Century Resort
There has been ongoing construction at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, and while it was supposed to be done this week, it has now been extended once again. Luckily, it’s not all bad news, though! Let’s find out what Everything Pop Dining & Shopping construction will continue and what is done.
Sure, people like to make jokes about the classic “it’s a small world” song, but you cannot deny that the charming little tune has endured for decades. This simple, slow-moving Disney attraction is endearing, colorful, and universally loved. It’s just a classic!
“it’s a small world”
From Disneyland Park in Anaheim to Magic Kingdom to Tokyo Disneyland, this attraction reaches people from all over the world — even Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland have a version of this ride. So, who’s behind the beloved song that accompanies the ride? Two incredibly talented songwriters Disney fans might recognize — Richard and Robert Sherman.
Yes, we’ve been celebrating the holiday season since November 1st, but now that Thanksgiving is out of the way, we’re ready to put our hearts and souls into the celebration.
It’s that time of year!
That means eating even MORE holiday snacks in Disney World (obviously), as well as continuing to enjoy the holiday decorations, gingerbread displays, and more! Then there are TWO holiday parties: Jollywood Nights and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. However, we’ve got big plans to stay at home on December 1st because something EPIC is happening on our TVs on that date: the Wonderful World of Disney: Holiday Spectacular.
We here at DFB like to think of ourselves as Disney scientists.

Magic Kingdom
We’ve been talking nonstop about Thanksgiving travel news and tips, so we’re hitting up Disney World to see what it’s like to spend a day at the parks on a big holiday. Here’s a look at what we encountered today at the most magical place on earth.
Hey, Disney fam! You’re gearing up for your trip to Disney World, right?
Magic Kingdom
Are you planning on hitting up Magic Kingdom in early January 2025?! Well, if you’re thinking of coming on January 5th, 2025, while that sounds like a day that should be a super chill post-holiday time to visit Magic Kingdom, I’m here to tell you that it could actually be a recipe for chaos. Let’s talk about why you might want to rethink being in the park on this particular date.
It’s the holiday season and there’s no place we rather celebrate it than at Disney World!
Christmas has arrived at Magic Kingdom!
Disney goes all out for the most wonderful time of the year and because of it, you can find a lot of festive surprises going on at the parks. In this case, a special limited-time parade will be taking place on specific days at Magic Kingdom, which is incredibly RARE! Here’s all you need to know.
Disney World’s Lightning Lane Premier Pass may still be new, but it’s already proven to be incredibly popular.

The new skip-the-line service allows each guest who purchases it one one-time entry to each Lightning Lane experience in the selected theme park — but at a pretty hefty price. Still, that hasn’t stopped folks from selling the service out in some parks over the week of Thanksgiving — and on Monday, Lightning Lane Premier Pass sold out in every single Disney World park.
The Christmas trees are up, the halls are decked, Gertie is wearing her Santa hat, and Disney World is in full swing for the holiday season.

It really is the most wonderful time of the year in Disney World, and that’s mostly because we get to try ALL the holiday snacks (seriously, they’re our favorite seasonal snacks). But while we’re munching on things flavored with peppermint and gingerbread, we’re also keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus — and yep, we’ve got some menu updates to share with you this week!
Sometimes, it feels like there’s no end to the changes coming to Magic Kingdom!
Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade
And we’re not even talking about things like Villains Land or the two Cars attractions coming to Frontierland. No, for this one, let’s talk about the new lounge for Disney Vacation Club members and break it all down!
