This NEW part of Frontierland will be called Piston Peak and will include new theming, two new rides, additional food and beverage options, and a whole lot more. Disney has shared some info here and there about this new area, but now we’ve got details about the queues of BOTH rides!

A NEW lounge is welcoming guests at EPCOT! The new GEO-82 is home to upscale eats and drinks during the day, plus a fireworks experience so you can have the ultimate vantage point of Luminous: The Symphony of Us on the World Showcase Lagoon.
GEO-82!
While there is a special fireworks experience, you can still visit the lounge to see the view even without doing the pricey special experience. We got the chance to check out this adults-only (21 and up) bar during the fireworks, and we’re sharing what you need to know about the VIEW!
Disney Springs is one of our favorite places to stop when we’re not spending time in the parks — especially because you don’t need a park ticket!
The Polite Pig
And, The Polite Pig happens to be one of our favorite places to stop while we’re there! Don’t let this quick-service barbecue spot fool you; it’s some of the absolute best food on the entire Disney World property. We recently stopped by to grab a new cocktail, and we’re SO glad we did.
The Savannah Bananas recently visited Disneyland!
Savannah Bananas at Disneyland
On May 28th, 2025, Disneyland filled with a special cavalcade, themed food and beverages, and more to celebrate this wacky baseball team. We checked out one of the special treats as part of this celebration, and to be honest, we’re kind of glad it was only around for a little while.
It’s Cool Kid Summer at Disney World! This special event has brought additional characters, activities, dance parties, and a whole lot more to the parks and beyond.

Here’s what you need to know.
