food IS a theme park
Hey there, DFB friends! We’re back with more of what’s NEW at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Tower of Terror
Over this past week, we were evacuated from a popular ride and we even got to find some new Star Wars merchandise in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge! Let’s jump right in.
We’ve been gearing up for MONTHS for one big show on Disney+, and now it’s finally here!

Star Wars fans around the world have been waiting for the release of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, and we’ve been pretty pumped too, thanks to the trailers, the new merchandise, and all the hype that the show got at this past weekend’s Star Wars Celebration event. But the fanbase for the show is most evident in the statistics, and its premiere is already breaking some big records!
One of Disney World’s newest shows has already changed in a major way!
Look at Simba fly!
Disney KiteTails, the show featuring giant kites from The Lion King or The Jungle Book, debuted in October 2021 in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Despite being less than a year old, Disney recently announced plans to change the show, which resulted in shorter but more frequent shows. Now we have a few more details about this change so that you can be sure to catch KiteTails during your next visit!
Let’s take a stroll down Main Street, U.S.A., and look for all the updates in Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
Over the past couple of days, Magic Kingdom honored Memorial Day, continued moving forward with construction, and welcomed in new items (and restocked some missing merchandise). So without further delay, let’s see what’s new in Magic Kingdom!
It’s been a BUSY week in EPCOT!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Crowds arrived in mass over Memorial Day weekend, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind had a successful opening weekend as well. EPCOT is going through a massive transformation, and that means there’s always something new to see. So, let’s take another look at what’s new in EPCOT!
Did you know that Disney has already released over 40 pairs of new ears in 2022??
Mad Tea Party Ears
It’s hard to pick a favorite but we’ve seen some beauties this year, like the Mad Tea Party Ears, Pretzel Ears, Little Mermaid Ears, and LOTS more! Now two NEW ears have arrived online and these ears are totally ready for a good summer barbecue.
Oh, Disney Springs, you’re full of many things we love!
How about some cupcakes?
A variety of restaurants and food to try, merchandise that you sometimes can’t find in the parks, and awesome offerings, like the art walk that’s coming soon! So naturally, anytime we hear about something new coming to the area, we’ve gotta share, which is why we were immediately intrigued about Sprinkles’ new scone!
There’s nothing quite as magical as planning your Disney vacation and then eventually seeing it come to fruition!
Disney California Adventure
But, paying for your Disney vacation can be a little less than magical considering that Disney trips don’t come cheap. We’re constantly looking for ways to save you money on your vacation from Annual Passholder discounts to even Disney Vacation Club Member discounts — and now, there’s a new deal available for select Disney guests!
It’s not uncommon for rides to randomly close in the Disney parks!
Magic Kingdom
Typically, when this happens, there’s a pretty valid reason. We often see outdoor attractions close in inclement weather, rides shut down for refurbishments, or even the occasional technical difficulties. But, there’s one Magic Kingdom ride that seems to be closed more often than many others!
There’s a NEW store in Orlando.
