‘Tis the season…
Disneyland
Believe it or not, the holidays are almost here. While Halloween Time has essentially just begun at Disneyland, we can’t help but think ahead to the Christmas season that follows right behind it! Disney recently released some first looks at all the new holiday experiences and returning festive favorites coming back to the resort this year. Let’s dive in!
It’s almost jolly season!
Target
While it may feel like summer’s not even over yet, the truth is we’re getting close to the holiday season… and the holiday shopping season. Luckily, Target is already stocking up on the best gift options, including these 2024 versions of a longtime favorite product.
“.. Just a dream away…”
Carousel of Progress

EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
The 2024 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival kicks off on August 29th, and longtime festival-goers are already pouring over the list of booths and entertainment this year to plan their festival experience.

It’s that time again…
EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
Every year, a massive change ripples through EPCOT that fundamentally alters how to approach a day at the park: The EPCOT Food and Wine Festival. The litany of special events and offerings offered by the crowds they draw – – along with the crowds they draw – – makes the park a very different place than it is normally. Whether you’re a festival veteran or have never been, it’s best to bone up on all the ways EPCOT is about to change.
Big changes are coming to California Adventure.
Red Trolley Car
There were many major announcements made at the 2024 D23 Ultimate Fan event regarding Disney’s theme parks, including the confirmation that the Avengers E-Ticket attraction is finally coming to California Adventure. The new ride, dubbed Avengers Infinity Defense, will anchor an expansion to Avengers Campus that will also feature the Stark Flight Lab attraction, which will feature Robert Downey Jr. returning as Iron Man. However, this new construction may lead to the end of an old favorite.
This Disney World original is going down for a bit.
Magic Kingdom
Ride closures and refurbishments are a part of life at Disney World. This year alone has seen long — and in some cases ongoing — periods of closure for Test Track, Peter Pan’s Flight, and Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster amongst others. Now, an iconic attraction has joined the list.
“The nickel and diming has definitely changed how often we go…”
Yes, we’ve seen a lot of Disney fans express this type of sentiment.
EPCOT
There’s no denying that Disney fans are loyal, arguably to a fault at times. However, even the most committed have breaking points. We recently asked our readers on Facebook what Disney would have to do to get them to “NEVER go back to Disney World ever again!” and certainly got some interesting… and sometimes heated responses!
