food IS a theme park
A popular Disneyland restaurant will be closing soon!
Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland
If you are heading to Disneyland Park soon, we want to let you know about the upcoming closure of a popular dining location!
If you’re heading to Disney World, there are a lot of things that might put a damper on your vacation.
Hollywood Studios
We’ve been unexpectedly sick in the parks before, been caught in terrible weather, and missed our fair share of dining reservations and Lightning Lane windows. But on top of all that, we often see unexpected ride closures — and today there were quite a few!
Sometimes disaster can strike…even in Disney World!
EPCOT
“The Most Magical Place on Earth” isn’t immune to mishaps and unfortunate incidents, including everything from hurricanes to technical glitches to broken animatronics on rides. We’ve had quite our share of unexpected problems in Disney World in the past, and today, visitors to EPCOT might find themselves in a bit of a pickle.
Need a vacation? Don’t we all! 😉 Maybe a few days in the sun with a tropical drink in your hand and a wave from Captain Mickey is just what you need to feel refreshed and ready to take on the rest of 2022 (where did this beginning of the year go?!)! If this sounds like a dream to you, you might want to explore the possibility of setting sail with Disney Cruise Line!
Disney Dream
Disney already has some ships out and about, sailing the seas and taking guests to unique destinations in various parts of the world. And soon it’ll have another ship — the Disney Wish — available for guests to enjoy. If you’re ready to take the leap and book a Disney Cruise Line trip, or you’ve got one scheduled and are hoping to book some Port Adventures or other activities, there’s an important update you need to know about.
The Disney Skyliner has had a rather turbulent two years since its opening in 2019.
Walt Disney World Skyliner
The transportation system is beloved by guests and has been praised for the convenience it provides to those staying at connected resorts, but it has also had a few “crashes” and closures in the past. Recently, the transportation system went under a short refurbishment, but just days after reopening, one line is closed down!
There are a few Magic Kingdom attractions that aren’t open right now, including Splash Mountain and the Walt Disney World Railroad.
Frontierland Entrance
But earlier this morning during a visit to the most magical park, our reporter noticed that another popular ride was not available for guests. [Read more…]
UPDATE: As of about 5:15PM, Splash Mountain was showing a 60 minute wait in My Disney Experience. Be sure to check for any future closures.

There are lots of new things to experience in Disney World right now — from new scenes in classic rides to new fireworks shows.
Magic Kingdom
But, sometimes all you want to do is ride the classic rides — like one of Magic Kingdom’s three big mountains for example. Well, if you’re heading to Magic Kingdom today and planning to do the 3 mountain challenge, you might find a bit of an issue.
You know what’s underrated in Disney World? Disney Springs!
Disney Springs!
People tend to focus so much on the parks that they forget all about Disney’s shopping and dining complex — even though it’s full of fun things to do, delicious food, and plenty of activities for the whole family. We stopped by Disney Springs today to check out what was going on and we found something surprising…not one, but TWO locations were closed today!
Update: The Skyliner has reopened as of Wednesday evening.
There are quite a few ways to get around Walt Disney World. One of the newest forms of transportation is Disney’s Skyliner.
Skyliner
But, if you were planning to take the Skyliner to EPCOT today, you might not be able to do so.
If you’re at Magic Kingdom today, there’s one ride you’ll have to wait to experience!
Cinderella Castle
Several attractions are currently down for refurbishment (PeopleMover, we MISS you!), but others can close temporarily for other reasons. Such was the case when Seven Dwarfs Mine Train became unavailable today.
