Dear Disney: Please Don’t Fumble the Cars Land Mega Expansion

By 3 Comments

There is nothing more exciting than a brand-new land in Magic Kingdom.

Cinderella Castle

Disney has officially announced that Frontierland is getting a massive Cars Land-inspired expansion called Piston Peak, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the biggest changes the park has seen in years. We’re talking two brand-new rides, a totally reimagined landscape, and even a geyser called Old Tankful. But here’s the thing: as excited as we are, we’re also nervous. Disney, please don’t fumble this. We’ve seen how game-changing lands can be when Imagineers absolutely nail it (Pandora, Galaxy’s Edge), but we’ve also seen how a highly hyped area can leave guests feeling underwhelmed if things don’t quite land the way we hoped. So here are the big reasons we’re begging Disney not to drop the ball on Piston Peak.

Mark My Words: Your EPCOT Evening Plans Have To Change

By Leave a Comment

EPCOT at night during Food and Wine is not the quiet evening stroll you might be expecting.

EPCOT

With the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival kicking off August 28th and running through November 22nd, the park is already a hot spot in the evenings. Add in the fact that Magic Kingdom closes early on select nights for their separately-ticketed parties, and you’ve got a recipe for seriously crowded evenings at EPCOT. We’re talking about bigger crowds, longer lines at booths, and an atmosphere that feels more like a weekend concert than a casual festival night. So, if you’re planning to spend your evening sipping around the world, you’ll want to know exactly which nights are going to be impacted.
