food IS a theme park
The final menu for the Farmers Feast booth at EPCOT’s Flower & Garden Festival is HERE!
2025 Farmers Feast
The Summer Solstice menu introduces three new eats to this spot, and we were hoping they’d be just as good as their descriptions sounded. We’re happy to report that we certainly weren’t disappointed!
A new lounge is coming to EPCOT, and details about its rules are rolling in.
EPCOT
GEO-82 Bar & Lounge — a Spaceship Earth-themed lounge — is opening in EPCOT on June 4th, 2025, and we can’t wait to visit! So far, we know about some of the food and beverage offerings the lounge will serve, as well as the rule that NO ONE UNDER 21 WILL BE ALLOWED IN. Disney also recently revealed a key detail that will make guests who use the Disney Dining Plan a bit upset.
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
Magic Kingdom
With Easter in the rearview mirror, knowing what the weekly average wait times are for those popular rides can make or break your upcoming trip. If you’re heading to the parks soon, we’ve got all the info you need to know! This week, wait times continued to trend downward at Disney World across the board, including last week’s busiest ride: Avatar: Flight of Passage, which fell behind TRON Lightcycle/Run! Let’s dive in!
Summertime is about to be BIG at Disney World!
Who’s ready for summer in Disney World?!
Disney just made a ton of new announcements about what we can expect during this year’s “Cool Kid Summer,” which runs from May 27th to September 1st, and there’s something to experience in every single park. Don’t worry, we’re breaking it all down here so you’re prepared and know what to expect!
We always want to make sure you are as prepared as possible for your Disney World trip, and one thing you need to be on the lookout for is possible closures and refurbishments. We don’t want you to be disappointed when you roll up to your favorite ride only to find out it is closed for refurbishment.
Magic Kingdom
There are TWO big changes to the closures in Disney World this week, and we want to make sure you are aware of them. Plus, we are also rounding up everything else that will be closed this week.
We’ve got some bad news, friends.
Magic Kingdom
We’re always doing our best to bring you the latest Disney tips and tricks, and some of those include some shortcuts that Disney may noooot want you to know. We don’t encourage breaking rules, but if you haven’t wanted to pay for your PhotoPass photos, you have been able to screenshot them in the app, as long as you don’t mind the logo across the photo. However, we’re sorry to say that this has now CHANGED!
Disney World works hard to make the parks as safe as possible for guests, but even with all of the precautions in place, injuries can still happen.
Cosmic Rewind
Safety is a major priority for Disney World, but with millions of people visiting the parks each year, injuries do occasionally happen. And in the first few months of 2025, seven different Disney World rides had injuries reported.
This summer is a GREAT time to visit Disney World (okay, except for the HEAT…)!
EPCOT
From May 27th through September 1st, you can expect to see DJ-fueled dance parties, surprise character experiences, fun activities, and nonstop summer vibes. To make way for Cool Kid Summer, CommuniCore Hall at EPCOT will be closing — which means this EPCOT festival booth has to CHANGE.
Get ready, because Cool Kid Summer is about to take over Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
Starting on May 27th and running all the way through September 1st, the parks will be home to DJ-fueled dance parties, surprise character experiences, fun activities, and nonstop summer vibes. But, to make way for Cool Kid Summer, CommuniCore Hall at EPCOT will be closing.
It’s my job to go to EPCOT. Yes, REALLY!
I go to EPCOT a LOT for my job.
For my job as a Disney World Reporter, I spend quite a bit of time in the theme parks, especially in EPCOT (I am the mayor of the tiny train town, after all). And let’s be real, that park can get pretty swampy and scorchy during the summertime. So today, I’m sharing the list of places where I hide in EPCOT when it’s just too dang hot. Come sweat with me!
