We already covered the opening of Epic Universe in 2025, but we’re excitedly anticipating the new kid-focused theme park from Universal next. We’ve also been keeping an eye out for new theme parks announced by companies other than Disney and Universal, and in 2026, there’s a very interesting offering opening in Mexico!
One of our favorite things to do on a Disneyland Resort visit is to EAT, and there are some places we absolutely love.
Lamplight Lounge Mimosa Flight
One of the most popular choices for dining in Disney California Adventure is Lamplight Lounge! This Pixar-themed spot can be a challenging reservation to snag, and their brunch is a fan-favorite. But it looks like it may be having a closure soon.
There are SO many hotel projects happening around Disney World these days.
The Beach Club!
From minor construction and refurbishment to full-scale room renovations and pool overhauls, it can be hard to tell what scrim and construction walls you may encounter during your vacation. Recently, a major project wrapped up at Disney’s Beach Club — the porte cochere is looking fresh and new again!

Disney World is constantly making changes to its restaurants, from menu updates to price increases to complete closures and overhauls.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
In the past several years, we’ve been to multiple new dining locations, and most of them have been absolutely lovely. However, what we’ve really been longing for all this time is for a long-lost dining spot to reopen. And finally, after years of pleading, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is reopening its tea room!
If you’re riding Test Track in EPCOT, don’t make the mistakes we did!
Test Track
This popular thrill ride was recently revamped for the second time, making Test Track 3.0. Since then, it has been pretty popular, and fans are lining up in droves to check it out. But we’ve made some mistakes when riding Test Track in the past that we want to help you avoid!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is BACK in Disney World, and we’re feeling festive about it!

The Disney Destiny is HERE, and the new Disney Cruise Line ship comes with some incredible details, theming, and storytelling.
The hydra!
One of the standout offerings onboard a Disney Destiny sailing is the entertainment, namely the new Broadway-style show, Hercules. This incredible production features live singers and dancers, as well as some larger-than-life effects. And during our media sailing on board the ship, we got to go behind the scenes of the show.
