food IS a theme park
We are still a few years away from the opening of Pueblo Esperanza in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. However, we are already starting our wishlists of what we hope to see on the brand-new rides!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
This brand-new Tropical Americas-themed land will replace DinoLand, U.S.A., and will bring not one but two new major attractions. There will be an Indiana Jones attraction AND an Encanto attraction, and we stumbled across something we need to see in the new Encanto ride!
What’s your airport pet peeve?
Orlando International Airport
Traveling through the airport can be incredibly stressful, but it can be made even more so when things go wrong. We’ve experienced everything from problems at security to delayed flights to heavy crowds. But one thing that probably grinds everyone’s gears? Line cutters!
A long-awaited feature is FINALLY at Galaxy’s Edge.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
When Disney first announced the massive Star Wars lands that would come to be known as Galaxy’s Edge, the company promised a slew of interactive features that would help the lands completely immerse visitors inside the Star Wars galaxy. Unfortunately, and much to fans dismay, many of them weren’t present when the lands first opened. However, slowly but surely some of these elements are being integrated into Galaxy’s Edge, including one we saw just this weekend.
We often dream about what it would be like to be Disney Imagineers.
Disney Imagineers riding Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disney World
Being able to come up with the latest attractions, restaurants, lands, technology, and more is no doubt something to celebrate, but we love celebrating it from the fan side of things just as much! Imagineers are always looking to the future and creating the most innovative ways to bring Disney to life, and we had the lucky opportunity to see some of that new technology firsthand — come with us!
One reason we love to look at newly filed patents is it gives us a sneak peek into what the theme park of the future might look like.
Universal Orlando
From new ride systems and ride mechanics to edible robots (yes, REALLY) to robots that could carry your stuff for you, the future technology of theme parks seems SO promising AND cool! Now, Universal has patented a new idea that could potentially change the way you navigate a theme park — all by wearing a wristband.
The Walt Disney Company has never shied away from ambitious projects.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
Disneyland and Disney World, after all, have been building ambitious projects since the very beginning! Disney is also always at the forefront of technology, especially when it comes to ways to use that new technology for entertainment. Disney doesn’t always meet success with its massive undertakings, though. Take the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, which was one of the most unique experiences in the world, but also a project that ultimately failed.
Disney World is known for having technical issues from time to time!
Yacht Club
We’ve seen our fair share of Mobile Order malfunctions, problems with the My Disney Experience app, or complete website crashes when things go on sale online. But today, we’ve got a BIG problem with the Disney World website!
One of the most popular things to do in Disney parks is meet characters.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland
In Disneyland, character experiences are tons of fun. Although you do have some traditional meet-and-greets, you’ll find a lot of characters just roaming around, especially in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. On any given day, you might bump into Din Djarin and Grogu, Ahsoka, Hera and Chopper, and more. Well, our FAVORITE roaming characters in Batuu just happen to be those adorable new droids Disney Imagineers have been testing. Now, we’ve got even MORE details about them.
Remember those adorable droids that basically took over the internet when they first emerged in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland?

The wandering droids are being tested right now by Disney’s Imagineering department, and it looks like they might show up in even more parks in the future!
Have you ever traveled internationally and had to wait for HOURS to get through customs clearance once you arrive at your destination?
Orlando International Airport
The long lines, the hassle, having to dig your passport out and present it — it can be a lot, especially if you’ve been on a red-eye flight and you’re jet lagged and exhausted from traveling all day. Well, one airport is about to make the entire process easier — right down to you being able to leave your passport at home.
