If you’re a Loungefly fan, we’ve rounded up all the backpacks that are NEW this month, and many of them are special exclusives. Let’s dive into the list!
We have been patiently (okay, not so patiently) awaiting more news on a MAJOR change coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Disney FINALLY gave us new information about the upcoming Monsters Inc. Land, and we are getting seriously excited about what’s to come. One thing we noticed in their big announcement? A few hints about when we could get MORE major news.
We are getting HYPED for the new land coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

We recently got some major updates about Monstropolis, the new land themed to Monsters, Inc. Disney has revealed the backstory of the land and some of the offerings, including Harryhausen’s restaurant and The Glob Theater. But there’s still so much left to learn, and construction progress has been fascinating. Now, we’ve got a look to share behind those construction walls!
One thing that you can always count on Disney World is that all the offerings in Disney Springs change very frequently.
Disney Springs
We’re constantly seeing rotating snacks at the dining locations and new shopping opportunities pop up around Disney Springs. They’re even getting a new attraction called Level99 soon! But in addition to that, some new stores are moving in, and we just learned the location of one of them.
Things are changing constantly in Disney World these days.
Disney Springs
New rides, reimagined lands, updates at restaurants, and new entertainment offerings. There’s so much to see and do, but sometimes we have to say goodbye to things we used to love! And now, we’ve got an update about a closing dining offering at Disney Springs.
Universal Epic Universe opened just one year ago, and plans for its expansion are already underway!
Gate at Epic Universe
We knew that the park had been built with room to add on new lands or attractions in the future, but recently, we’ve been seeing more proof of additions coming. Construction has been taking place on some of the park’s expansion pads, but now, a permit has been filed for a new attraction!
We’re gearing up for a BIG summer in Disney World!
It’s Cool Kid Summer!
Several rides have been updated and are reopening soon, there’s a new land that just opened in Hollywood Studios, and Cool KIDS’ SUMMER is returning with exciting new entertainment options! Ahead of that happening, we got a sneak peek at two BRAND NEW offerings.
We might have lost Muppets Courtyard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios to make way for a new Monsters, Inc. land, but at least the Muppets are getting their own space over on Sunset Boulevard as they prepare to take over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets.

But it’s not just a ride that’s getting a Muppet makeover. The former KRNR snack spot near Rock ‘n ‘Roller Coaster is also getting a makeover…and it’s going to be themed to the Swedish Chef! Well, now, we have a huge SIGN that this is really happening!
Are you ready to plan your fall trip to Disney World? I sure hope so, because Disney is ready for YOU.
Street Corn-style Dumplings
Dates were just revealed for the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival in 2026, which will run from August 27th-November 21st. But along with those dates, we got some updates about what will be returning to this year’s fest…namely, some specific menu items were mentioned!
Geez, Disney World, you’re HUSTLING in 2026.
EPCOT
With the new Walt Disney Studios land and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring The Muppets coming to Hollywood Studios, Bluey experiences arriving at Animal Kingdom, and newly updated Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom, there’s a lot to experience if you’re traveling this year. But we can’t forget about the major ride change coming to EPCOT!
