Disney is all about celebrations these days! Disneyland is turning 70, and America is turning 250, so, of course, the theme parks are celebrating.

We love that Disney is always celebrating something, and now we think they just celebrated the best birthday ever! Recently, a World War II veteran stopped by the parks to celebrate his 101st birthday at the Magic Kingdom flag retreat.
It’s time to celebrate Disney California Adventure! The second theme park at Disneyland Resort is turning 25 years old, and yes, we feel ancient thinking about it.

Disney is celebrating as only they know how! With limited time snacks, merchandise, and, of course, a popcorn bucket! We can already tell this new souvenir will be POPULAR, so let’s check it out together.
Disney World is changing a LOT these days. Magic Kingdom is getting a major park expansion, Hollywood Studios is adding two new lands, and Animal Kingdom is saying goodbye to DinoLand.

Animal Kingdom’s land closure means we’re saying goodbye to Dr. Seeker and our beloved Iguanadon. It also means we’re saying goodbye to Restaurantosaurus, but luckily, another quick service is reopening early to take its place!
Magic Kingdom’s massive expansion is finally coming to life! Villains Land and Piston Peak were first announced in 2024 at the D23 Expo, and we’ve been patiently awaiting updates ever since.

Construction is underway for both lands, which means the park has lots of construction walls right now. Now, a new document reveals more of what we can expect from Maleficent and Lightning McQueen!
The Disney Adventure is so close to setting sail! The newest Disney Cruise Line ship was supposed to set sail in January 2026, but its maiden voyage has been pushed to March 20th, 2026.

This new ship is said to be unlike anything we’ve ever seen, and now, Disney has shared that a new firework spectaular is debuting along with the ship! We’re bringing you all of the details right here.
The winter storms are still raging around the United States, and as a writer who’s stuck at home in the snow, all I can think about is how badly I want a Starbucks coffee!

It’s almost like the coffee company heard my heart’s desires because a brand-new Starbucks menu has just dropped online ahead of its in-store arrival. If you’re a lover of food trends like us, some of these new sips will really catch your eye (and your wallet).
Sometimes we feel like a parent, and Disney is our teenager. Stick with us for a second! We’re watching our child (Disney) grow and change through some serious awkward phases while making choices we don’t necessarily love, but we will continue to support.

Each week, it feels like Disney drops even more news and changes for us to keep up with! That’s why we like to do a weekly news round-up for the most exciting changes, so you don’t miss a single moment. Let’s dive into this week’s changes right here!
