food IS a theme park
A massive (and sad!) change just hit Animal Kingdom Theme Park — DinoLand, U.S.A. is now GONE.
Chip and Dale in Dinoland!
The land officially closed on February 2nd to make way for the new Tropical Americas land. With that change, we lost a couple of rides, a few dining locations, and some incredibly themed character meets. But don’t worry, many of those characters have now moved to other spots around the park!
Someone new has arrived in Disney California Adventure over at Disneyland Resort, and we could NOT be more excited.
It’s Clawhauser!
With the release of Zootopia 2 in theaters, there’s a lot of fun you can have around the Disney Parks that are inspired by the world of Zootopia. In Disney World, you can meet Judy and Nick, check out the new Zootopia: Better Zoogether show, and eat some Zootopia-inspired snacks all in Animal Kingdom, and over in DCA, you can meet another iconic character — Clawhauser!
We’re still struggling to believe that it’s somehow almost November (time FLIES!), and while that means there are only two more months of the year, it does mean that the holiday season is about to take over Disney World in FULL force.

If you’re a big fan of the holidays, this is probably one of your favorite times of the year. While we’re looking forward to all the special holiday merchandise, snacks, and decor that’s about to be up all around the parks, if you’re especially a big fan of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you won’t want to miss the nine new additions hitting the parks for Jollywood Nights this year!
Okay, so you’re going to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and thanks to all the construction and the pending closure of Dinosaur, you might think you’ll run out of things to do in that park before the day is over. And, yeah, we’ll admit that the construction there can throw a wrench in your plans. Especially when your family is getting restless and your sense of direction is all thrown off thanks to the construction walls.

BUT…there will be some NEW things coming to Animal Kingdom VERY soon, so you’ll have a new reason to visit the park, especially if you love Zootopia. That’s because the new Zootopia: Better Zoogether show is debuting soon, and you’ll even have a chance to meet some of the stars of that attraction!
Do you have that special little card inside your wallet? That Disney Visa Card can get you some major Disney perks both in and outside of the parks.
Disney Visa Card
You might know that you can get 10% off select merchandise locations with your Disney Visa Card, as well as select dining locations, but you might not know about some unique experiences you can get in the parks.
Disney just announced even more holiday fun, and y’all, if you haven’t grabbed tickets to Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios, you might want to check your calendar and buy a set of tickets.

One of my favorite parts of Jollywood Nights last year was meeting all the different characters you can’t normally see around the park. Now, even more have been added, making it a total character palooza.
It’s the little things in life that make us so happy at Disney World. It’s truly what brings the magic to life and keeps us coming time and time again.
Donald!
We meet characters all the time, but some interactions feel a little more special than others. This was one of those days when Donald Duck stole the show, and we’ll be talking about it forever.
Rope dropping Disney’s Hollywood Studios can often involve a fair amount of planning, strategy, and risk.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
There are several heavy-hitter attractions in this park, so it can be pretty challenging to know where to start if you want to take advantage of those early morning wait times. But recently, during a visit to Hollywood Studios, we tried a DIFFERENT strategy. And if you’re a fan of character meets, Star Wars, or even just a leisurely morning…it might be the plan that’s perfect for you!
The holiday season is right around the corner, which means it’s almost time to get festive at Disney World!
Jollywood Nights
Disney World loves to embrace the holiday fun at the end of the year with events like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, and Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Speaking of the Hollywood Studios party, Disney has recently confirmed some pretty big Jollywood Nights features, and we’re letting you know all about ’em!
Can you believe it is already time to start thinking about the holiday season? While it may not be quite time to start hanging up garland and decorating the Christmas tree (although no judgement if you have already started!), it is time to start planning your Disney World trip!
Christmas Decorations in Magic Kingdom
Disney recently revealed a BUNCH of details about the holiday season at Disney World, including information about Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, and Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
