food IS a theme park
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
Rivers of America
We’ve got the official closing date for Tom Sawyer’s Island and the Rivers of America (and its not that far off in the future), we got a NEW concept art map of the new Cars area coming to Magic Kingdom (and its name!!!), the Spaceship Earth themed lounge GEO-82 is officially open for all guests and we are One. Step. Closer. To Test Track being open once again.
BIG news, people! When one door closes, another one opens, and that’s exactly what’s happening over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Let’s start with the bad news: Muppets Courtyard is closed as of June 8th, 2025. The good news? The Muppets are heading over to a NEW location!
Muppet Courtyard
Where are the Muppets going? To Sunset Boulevard! The Muppets will be taking over the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster attraction with new music, a new design, and lots of Muppet mayhem. Now, Disney just announced the CLOSING TIMELINE for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, and it’s sooner than you might think.
BIG news, people! Disneyland just announced TONS of news about its huge expansion project coming soon. With all the new attractions and an entire Avatar land on the way, Disney is gonna need more room for all these new people. Well, that starts with a parking garage, right?
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway
Disney just announced that an all-new parking structure and transportation hub are coming to the Disneyland Resort area. Here’s what we know. [Read more…]
Few companies have CEOs who draw as much attention (and criticism) as The Walt Disney Company’s Bob Iger. Iger has been a top Disney executive for decades, assuming the role of CEO in 2005. Iger rose to popularity with wins like Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and Toy Story Land, left his position as CEO, handed the reins over to Bob Chapek, and returned (ousting Chapek) in 2022 with a new goal to find a worthy successor before retiring in 2026.

These days, one question looms large: Who has what it takes to run The Walt Disney Company? Many names have made headlines as potential CEO candidates — some internal and some external contenders. These days, though, there are four main candidates who seem to have the best shot at taking over the company, and many are betting big on the current Chairperson of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.

Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
GEO 82
Not just one but TWO new shows debuted in Disney World this week, Disney gave us the opening date of their new Disney Starlight nighttime parade coming to Magic Kingdom this summer, I’ve got a very important Universal Express pass update for you and we saw some very special visitors at Disneyland this week.
Sure, Disney heroes are kind, noble, and fair. But who seems to have more fun? Listen to this laugh: “MwHAhaHAhaHA.” That’s the laugh of a Disney villain! They may be the societal outcasts, but Disney villains are not afraid to enjoy themselves — dare we say their misdeeds are just their own version of a personal treat?
Disney Villains
Speaking of treats, we have some NEW ones to try in Disney World! And, hopefully, you’re seeing the connection here. The new treats are Disney Villain-themed!
We’re going to pose a simple question for you: if you were driving on a five-hour road trip, would you stop for a bathroom break? You’re probably thinking, “Of course!” Five hours is a long time — your body needs a break! But what if you were standing in a five-hour LINE at, say, a theme park? It’s not so easy to go to the bathroom when you must first awkwardly scoot past hundreds of cranky people. It’s like going through the gauntlet!
300 minutes = 5 hours
First, let’s back up a bit. Universal’s new theme park, Epic Universe, is open now, and there’s one ride that consistently seems to be the most popular. The ride is called Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, located in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic. It’s a mouthful, we know. Well, this ride has been reporting hours-long lines, reaching wait times as high as 300 minutes (a.k.a. five hours). We’ve got a problem with the new ride.
Is it true that Universal’s NEWEST hotels are cheaper than Disney’s? Can you really sleep under DRAGONS when you book a room near Epic Universe? And… what are all these whisperings about a $125 hotel parking fee??
