food IS a theme park
Okay, who’s ready to watch some great TV and movies on Disney+?

The streaming subscription service has already kicked off spring in a big way, including the premiere of Zootopia 2 on the streamer, but there are even more new TV shows and movies coming to the streaming subscription service in April, including something I’m really excited about: the new Darth Maul series.

Disneyland is celebrating its 70th anniversary, and as part of that celebration, Disney Imagineers brought a Walt Disney animatronic figure to life for the first time ever. Right now, Disneyland visitors can see this new animatronic as part of the Walt Disney — A Magical Life show at the Main Street Opera House that previously hosted Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.
Walt Disney — A Magical Life
Now, Disney made it clear that the Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln show wasn’t going away, and that the new show would eventually rotate with the old show. Well, now, we know when that’s going to happen…and it’s WAY sooner than we think. In fact, the two shows will be rotating as of tomorrow.
If you’re visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you certainly don’t want to miss out on all the great entertainment you can find in that park. Our top recommendations include Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After, The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure, and Beauty and the Beast — Live On Stage.
Fantasmic!
Of course, we also ALWAYS recommend Hollywood Studios’ nighttime show, Fantasmic! which is (in my opinion) one of the best shows in Disney World. However, if you’re visiting Hollywood Studios in the next few months, we have to tell you about a big change coming to Fantasmic!
We recently got a chance to visit Disneyland Paris, and it’s an understatement to say that the parks blew our minds. We got to drink champagne on Main Street, eat at Walt’s — An American Restaurant, and meet Mickey Mouse in a Phantom Manor costume.

However, since our visit, Disneyland Paris has made a TON of announcements, including reveals about its conversion of Walt Disney Studios Parks into Disney Adventure World. One of those announcements was about a new nighttime show coming to that park, Disney Cascade of Lights, and now we have even MORE details about the new show.
2026 is coming in HOT, and Disney World is getting ready!
Cinderella Castle
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin will be reopening after major refurbishments, and work will continue on several new lands and additions around the parks like Piston Peak, the Tropical Americas, and Monstropolis. But amongst all those new additions, we’ll be getting some things taken away!
For months now, there’s been no Virtual Queue attractions in Disney World, but that has changed for the next two days!
Zootopia: Better Zoogether!
To celebrate the opening of Zootopia: Better Zoogether! on November 7th, Disney is offering Annual Passholder previews on November 5th and 6th. Overall, there are only FOUR chances to get in the virtual queue to see this show early, so here’s a step-by-step guide to getting a spot!
Have you ever wanted to spot a celebrity in Disney World? Well, it happens more often than you think! That’s because celebrities LOVE Disney World and visit it often. Neil Patrick Harris, for example, has visited so much that he has his own table at a bar in EPCOT (now, that is GOALS, y’all). Josh Gad is always popping up…and you never know where he’ll pop up next…he’s even turned up as a Cast Member on several rides.

Well, another celebrity just visited Disney World and even got a chance to take in some quality entertainment in Disney Springs. Johnny Galecki from The Big Bang Theory just stopped by to see Drawn to Life Presented by Cirque du Soleil.
Your favorite Disney+ and Hulu shows are about to get SO MUCH BETTER.

If you’ve got some must-watch shows on these streaming services, you’re definitely not alone! We’re also a little bit addicted to popular series like Dancing with the Stars and Only Murders in the Building. Disney seems to have caught on to how beloved some of these shows are, though, because they’re leveling them up — with podcasts!
With the Magic Kingdom in a massive state of change, including the removal of the iconic Rivers of America, we’re a bit unsure about the future of these long-running shows.
Carousel of Progress
Over the 30+ years I’ve been visiting Walt Disney World, I’ve seen countless iconic attractions close, which has long cemented in my mind the idea that no attraction — no matter how beloved or well-established– is safe forever. While none of these shows have been announced as closing anytime soon, there are reasons each may be on the chopping block in the future.
Happy Holidays! Yeah, yeah, we kid…but not really. This is the time of the year when we start getting all kinds of details about the holiday season in Disney World, so we’re almost ready to break out the Christmas trees.
Santa Duffy at Jollywood
We’ve already had some details about the holidays in Disney World, but Disney also just revealed the dates for this year’s Jollywood Nights in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! In addition to that, we also got some new details about this year’s Jollywood Nights, including some new things that will be coming to the party this year.
