EPCOT
While Epic Universe opens on May 22nd (and it completely blew our minds), there are some things all Disney fans should know before visiting in May 2025. So let’s get into it, shall we?

There are theme park changes, new Disney Cruise Ships, and more. It’s a lot to keep up with, so we’re doing our weekly news round-up so you can find all of the biggest changes in one place. Let’s dive into this week’s updates!
A lot just dropped in the world of Disney news — and if you blinked, you probably missed something.
Disney World
We’ve got a wild mix of updates from free food deals to major ride changes, new bars, and one surprisingly cheap hotel deal for Disney+ subscribers. Whether you’re booking a trip from the UK, a die-hard fan of villains, or just want to sip cocktails in a Victorian birdcage, there’s something here that could totally change your Disney World plans. Let’s break down everything you need to know about the seven big updates Disney just dropped.
Who’s ready to feel villainous?

Not only is a brand new Villains land coming to Magic Kingdom at some point, but the villains are about to get represeted in a brand new way in Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After, a new show coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios on May 27th. Now, we’ve seen some teasers about which villains could be seen during the show (as well as those who are starring in it), but now Disney has shared a first look at the show, including a very catchy little song number.
There is so much happening in Disney World right now!
Hollywood Studios!
While there’s some heartbreaking moments like saying goodbye to DinoLand, there are some pretty exciting and villainous things happening too. The Disney Villains are working their way into Magic Kingdom, but while they work on that takeover, they’re hoping for a little sympathy over in Hollywood Studios.
Summer is a popular time for guests to visit Disney World and this year will be no different.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Some big things are happening this summer with the new Spaceship Earth lounge, GEO-82, opening. We will also see a lot changing at Disney’s Hollywood Studios with the Muppets courtyard closing and two new shows opening. So, if you are planning a trip to see all of the new things this summer, there is one date you may want to avoid.
If you haven’t been to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 10 years, you’re going to be pretty flabbergasted the next time you step into the park.

With additions in the past several years like Toy Story Land and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, plus upcoming changes to Muppets Courtyard (insert sad trombone noise here) and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, the park is pretty much going to be unrecognizable from its MGM Studios days. However, amidst all the somewhat controversial changes, we did get some pretty good news about this park!
Are you keeping up with the Disney news?
Magic Kingdom
2025 has been a busy year for theme park news watchers like you and me! DinoLand U.S.A. is closing, The Muppets are taking over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, and Lightning McQueen and Mater are driving to new frontiers. This week, Disney had even more news to check out, so we’re wrapping it all up here.
Disney World just got another major update!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Over in Hollywood Studios, we just got our first glimpse into the brand new show, Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After! We’ve seen concept art, we’ve watched for casting auditions, and Disney has finally given us a look inside the theater, and one character is almost ready to go.
As we patiently wait for new information about the Villains Land planned for Magic Kingdom, we have new details about a Villains Show coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
