food IS a theme park
It’s hard NOT to get excited about new rides in Disney World.
TRON Lightcycle Run
We’ve had a LOT to be excited about recently. Just over the past few years, we’ve been able to ride new attractions like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Now, we’re getting pumped up about TRON Lightcycle Run in Magic Kingdom — even more so because Disney just released some brand new details about the ride!
Summertime has officially hit Disney World, and it’s getting hot.
Splash Mountain
Luckily, there are tons of ways to cool down, like a ride on Splash Mountain, a spray fan, or even a frozen treat! And during our trip to Magic Kingdom today, we saw an adorable frozen treat that we absolutely had to try! But we have to hurry — the summer heat isn’t doing this treat any favors.
Disneyland Resort reopened in April 2021 after closing in March 2020, but many rides and attractions are in a state of transformation right now.
Disneyland!
Mickey’s Toon Town has been closed for a big reimagining and Tarzan’s Treehouse is closed and getting re-themed, and one ride has remained closed even after Disneyland reopened. But that’s changing soon — and here’s what we know!
Even in the world’s most magical place, things can still go wrong.
Space Mountain
We’ve seen everything from canceled shows to ride malfunctions to animatronics being completely off. We’ve experienced our share of ride closures and evacuations. Today, though, we got to see something a little different: while Space Mountain was down, we saw what it looks like with the lights on.Â
Pixar’s new movie, Lightyear, is out now!
Lightyear Ears!
We’ve seen tons of Lightyear stuff pop up around the Disney Parks, like this hilarious ice cream cone in Disney Springs, glow-in-the-dark Minnie Ears, and a whole new character (kinda?) in Disneyland! The movie has already raked in a lot of money, and it was also recently revealed that NASA had a hand in how the movie was made! We knew we were going to see this Buzz Lightyear gauntlet in Disneyland soon, and it’s finally here!
Sometimes Disney World rides break down.
PeopleMover
When they break down and people are on them, those people then need to be evacuated off of the ride, which can make for a really unique experience! We were in the Magic Kingdom one day when we decided to take a spin on a popular Tomorrowland ride, but then it stopped, and we were evacuated. Take a look at what it’s like to be evacuated off of the PeopleMover with us!
When you think of the best villains of all time, who do you think of?
Celebrate May the 4th at Disney World!
Darth Vader has returned to the screen in the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+, and Disney is going all out to celebrate! The show had the biggest premiere in Disney+ history, and Disney has even released Obi-Wan’s lightsaber. There’s been a ton of Star Wars in the Disney Parks lately, and this iconic villain is returning to Disneyland!
There are some Disney snacks that are just straight up classics, especially over in Disneyland!
Pretzel in Disneyland
Churros, corn dogs, giant pickles, Dole Whip — there are a lot of fun foods you can have while walking around the original Disney theme park. We love the classics, but sometimes it’s also exciting when those classics get a new twist! So, let’s check out a spin on a Disney pretzel over in Disneyland!
This week was not exactly great for two Disney World rides.
The Monorail in EPCOT
From the mystery of a missing sandwich to some big Magic Kingdom showtime changes, this week was full of unexpected surprises in Disney World! Let’s jump right into it.
It’s not uncommon for rides to randomly close in the Disney parks!
Magic Kingdom
Typically, when this happens, there’s a pretty valid reason. We often see outdoor attractions close in inclement weather, rides shut down for refurbishments, or even the occasional technical difficulties. But, there’s one Magic Kingdom ride that seems to be closed more often than many others!
