food IS a theme park
We’ve got to talk about Toy Story Land.
Toy Story Land
Disney’s Hollywood Studios jam-packed a LOT of stuff to do in this one land including two restaurants, Woody’s Lunch Box and Roundup Rodeo BBQ, and three attractions! Slinky Dog Dash is easily the busiest of the land’s rides but we’ve got an update on this Toy Story-themed coaster.
A fan-favorite Disneyland attraction has been closed for refurbishment — but that’s all changing soon!
Disneyland
Space Mountain closed its doors on September 18th so it could undergo a bit of a refresh, and if you’re heading to Disneyland soon we’ve got some excellent news for you!
Can you believe it? EPCOT is almost done with its years-long transformation!
EPCOT
Disney announced that the EPCOT construction is set to be complete by the end of 2023, and it makes us want to reminisce about the changes, you know? We have several new attractions including Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana and now the 100th anniversary celebration is in the park with a special meet and greet, the return of Soarin’ Over California, and more. Now there’s an update about one of the new additions…but fair warning, you may not like it.
We’re never going to “Let It Go” (yeah, we went there). We are beyond excited about the new Frozen-themed land coming to Hong Kong Disneyland Resort.

We’ve seen the Kingdom of Arendelle come to life in concept art and behind-the-scenes footage, and we’ve even seen some sneak peeks at Disney’s brand new ride, Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs. Well, now we’ve got video footage of what it’s like to walk through the queue and RIDE Disney’s new Frozen attraction.
Disney World rides are some of the most immersive out there — they instantly transport you out of reality!
Space Mountain
Whether that’s because you’re busy fighting Kylo Ren on Rise of the Resistance or jumping into a cartoon on Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, there are so many stories you can explore through attractions. This applies to roller coasters too — there’s a reason why they all almost always have a long wait! However, this week, one coaster saw a jump in wait times that caught our eye and we had to let you know about it.
We’re heading to Hollywood…Studios that is!
Hollywood Studios at night
This park opened in 1989 and has changed significantly since the beginning, with multiple new additions like Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and Toy Story Land in the past several years. It’s often known as the park with some of the most thrilling rides, but there are a few rides that the Disney World pros tend to SKIP on a visit to Hollywood Studios.
Disney World is full of magical moments.
Magic Kingdom
Sometimes those moments come when you’re riding a favorite attraction and notice a new detail. Sometimes those moments come from encounters with your favorite characters. Sometimes it’s thrilling to find a hidden Mickey. However, there’s a way to experience a magical moment EVERY morning in Magic Kingdom that you might not know about. [Read more…]
It’s been another week full of Disney news!
EPCOT
Disney released a ton of information about EPCOT Festival of the Holidays including the food booths, the entertainment, celebrity narrators for the Candelight Processional, dining packages, the return of the cookie stroll, and more. Also Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana has soft opened as well as the Moana meet and greet! Even though the Disney news has been busy, the parks seem to have calmed down when it comes to wait times.
Disney World is full of exciting rides and attractions.
Haunted Mansion in Disney World
Whether you’re a thrill seeker looking to help save the galaxy or a lover of nostalgia hoping to relive some of that opening-day magic, Disney has a ride for you. Unfortunately, after riding some of its rides consistently over the past few years, there are a few that we just don’t go on anymore.
Not all rides are built the same — some are much harder to get on than others.
EPCOT
Whether that’s because the ride has a Virtual Queue (we’re looking at you, TRON Lightcycle / Run) or it has one of the longest lines in the park, there’s a reason that we warn you about attractions like Rise of the Resistance and Slinky Dog Dash. But there’s been a huge update involving an EPCOT ride and it has certainly impacted the wait times!
