food IS a theme park
A LOT is going on in Disneyland right now.
Disneyland
The 100th anniversary is getting ready to begin in the parks, bringing with it new decorations, new food, TWO new nighttime shows, and more. On top of that, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, a new attraction for Disneyland, opens soon. However, things are going to be pretty busy on March 8th, too — meaning you may want to SKIP going to Disneyland on that day.
Okay, so do you have a favorite Disney World show?
Frozen Sing-along Celebration in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Maybe it’s The Festival of the Lion King in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Maybe you can’t help but watch the Dapper Dans in Magic Kingdom on every visit. Maybe your favorite show is the Frozen Sing-Along in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which recently closed for refurbishment. Well, get ready to belt out “Let It Go” again because that show has officially reopened!
Even two years after Disney World’s historic closure and reopening, we’re still seeing some restaurants, character experiences, and entertainment JUST starting to return to the parks. Fantasmic! only returned last year, and the character meet-and-greets at Pete’s Silly Sideshow in Magic Kingdom only returned a week ago.
Ariel’s Grotto
We recently learned that ANOTHER character meet-and-greet was returning to Magic Kingdom: Ariel will soon be greeting guests again from Ariel’s Grotto. Now, we know even more details about that experience.
Disney World is slowly returning to “normal.”
Belle at Enchanted Tales with Belle
Over the past several years and months, Disney has been hard at work bringing back fan favorites like the more complete version of Festival of the Lion King, the Harmony Barber Shop, Victoria and Albert’s, and more! While some things are still modified or closed, that will all be changing for one attraction soon.
We’ve got good news from Magic Kingdom!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
In December, it was announced that Big Thunder Mountain Railroad would be closing for a brief refurbishment in January. If you’ve been looking forward to your trip later this month and were crossing your fingers the refurb wouldn’t drag on, you’re in luck — Big Thunder Mountain Railroad reopened today!
HUGE NEWS for Disney World fans: the Walt Disney World Railroad is finally BACK! We’re heading to Magic Kingdom now to check it out.
The Walt Disney World Railroad
The Walt Disney World Railroad is a Magic Kingdom attraction that’s been closed for multiple years now, but it is finally reopening to guests TODAY! We got the chance to ride the train and check out the new changes and couldn’t wait to share more details with you! [Read more…]
The Walt Disney World Railroad closed in Magic Kingdom in 2018 (can you believe it’s been that long?!) due to the construction of TRON Lightcycle Run, and we’ve really missed it over the past few years!
Walt Disney World Railroad has been closed for a LONG time!
Although we’ve seen railroad testing and updates on the changes that have been made to the beloved train, Disney had not revealed a reopening timeline for this classic attraction…until NOW.
While Disney World and Disneyland have dropped COVID-19 restrictions, other Disney Parks around the world are still being affected by COVID-19.

Shanghai Disney Resort has undergone multiple closures throughout the last few months due to COVID-19, with only select areas of the resort undergoing a phased reopening. Now we have more news about Shanghai Disneyland!
We’ve got some great news for Disney golf fans!
Disney’s Palm & Magnolia Golf Course
Earlier this year, Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course closed for a lengthy refurbishment. Then in June, Disney revealed what the new golf course would look like when it was done. We didn’t know when that would be, but now Disney has announced when the golf course will be reopening!
Two and a half years later, things are STILL reopening and returning in Disney World.
EPCOT’s Japan Pavilion
We’ve seen the slow reopening of hotels, gift shops, and restaurants around the property, and some things haven’t yet returned to normal. But today, we’re one step closer at EPCOT, thanks to some big restaurant news!
