food IS a theme park
A popular Disneyland restaurant will be closed for longer than anticipated!
Napa Rose
The reopening of Napa Rose, located inside Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, has been delayed. Previously, the restaurant was expected to reopen in the fall of 2025, but the reopening date has now been pushed back to early 2026.
Have you ever needed to talk to a Cast Member, only to be met with a long wait time? While we definitely find ourselves jamming out to the Disney music for at least a little bit and having our own personal concert while on hold, it can get boring and frustrating waiting on hold for a long time.
This could be a game changer for calling Disney!
Wouldn’t it be awesome if your phone could wait on hold for you, and you could just be notified when it was your turn? Well, we have some great news! A NEW feature was just added to iOS 26 that includes a feature called “Hold Assist.” Now your phone can do the waiting, and you can spend time doing other things — like researching which dining reservations you want to make!

Rope dropping is one of our most recommended strategies to make the most of your Disney World trip, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.
Magic Kingdom rope drop crowds
Rope dropping involves waking up early and arriving at the park before opening to take advantage of lower wait times for some of the most popular rides and knock things off your to-do list before more people get into the park. While it’s worth it, it can be tiring, and it’s important to prep and organize beforehand. Luckily, Amazon offers the perfect product to do so.
Something NEW is coming soon to Disneyland Resort, and we have a feeling it is going to be popular!

Disney just announced that a brand-new tiki mug will be making its debut at Disneyland Resort soon, and we are already marking our calendars. An Evil Queen & Old Hag Tiki Mug will be available beginning October 1st, and we think it looks fantastic.
We always love trying out seasonal items around Disney World! There is definitely no shortage of limited-time items available in Disney World right now. From exclusive treats at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party to special Halloween finds at Disney Springs, we have been indulging in a lot of new food recently. Something new has also arrived at Disney’s BoardWalk, so we headed over to give it a try!
Caramel Popcorn Chocolate Cake
A new seasonal cake slice has arrived at The Cake Bake Shop Bakery, and we recently stopped by to give it a taste test! Introducing the Caramel Popcorn Chocolate Cake. This slice features chocolate cake with caramel, caramel buttercream, caramel drizzle, and caramel popcorn. You can grab it for $22. There is also an Apple Crumb Cake available, and you can also get a Pumpkin Spice Latte, but we decided on the Caramel Popcorn Chocolate Cake.
There is a BIG change coming soon to Disney World! Disney’s Hollywood Studios is about to look a lot different, and you only have a few days before the changes take place.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
There are quite a few construction projects going on at Disney World right now including Pueblo Esperanza in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Piston Peak National Park in Magic Kingdom, and the Monsters, Inc. Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Well, another construction project is about to begin in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
There have been a lot of changes already this year at Disney World, and there are still SO many to come. Construction is already in progress for new expansions like Pueblo Esperanza in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Piston Peak National Park, and the Villains Land in Magic Kingdom, and the new Monsters, Inc. Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

There have also been a lot of changes at Disney World hotels, so we thought we would round up some of the biggest changes that have hit Disney World hotels in 2025!
A NEW Disney Starbucks tumbler has just released online!
Fall Starbucks Tumbler
This one is perfect for fall! While we have spotted this tumbler out in the Disney Parks, it’s FINALLY available online at the Disney Store. You’ll want to grab it ASAP because it could sell out fast.
Construction is well underway for the new Cars-themed area coming to Magic Kingdom, called Piston Peak National Park. Progress is also being made on what will eventually become the Villains Land in Magic Kingdom.
Magic Kingdom
You can get a great view of the construction progress from the sky, and @bioreconstruct on X recently posted LOTS of photos of Magic Kingdom, so we knew we had to share them with you!
