food IS a theme park
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.
Have you ever thought about all of the Disney World rooms you would stay in if money weren’t a factor? Come with me as we daydream about the fanciest rooms in Disney World!
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
There are a lot of ways to make your Disney World vacation feel extra fancy. If I had endless funds, there are a few things that immediately come to mind, including booking a VIP Tour, a private fireworks cruise, and dinner at the chef’s table at Victoria & Albert’s. Of course, we have to talk about the fanciest hotel rooms at Disney World!
Disney World is in the middle of a massive transition, as new projects are underway all over the resort, including all four theme parks.
Walt Disney World
In the short term, these major changes are coming in the next few months!
There are lots of things to love about the Disney World water parks: it is hard to beat a day relaxing by the water, plunging down water rides, and grabbing unlimited refills in your refillable mug. To know Disney World refillable mugs is to love Disney World refillable mugs. Well, for the most part, we still have some complaints about the mug. But it is wonderful to be able to refill your mug to your heart’s content while relaxing in your beach chair.
Typhoon Lagoon
We have some bad news if you are a refillable cup fan like us, though. There is now one less location where you can find refillable mugs. The good news is that the mugs are still available at the Disney World hotels, but you currently CAN’T get them at the Disney World water parks.
Typhoon Lagoon is officially OPEN! The Disney World water park has been closed since November 2024, but if you have patiently waited to ride down Miss Adventure Falls or Crush ‘n’ Gusher, your time has finally come.
Typhoon Lagoon is open!
Typhoon Lagoon has reopened as of May 1st, 2025, and while Blizzard Beach has now closed for a short refurb, we have some exciting news. Beginning May 21st, BOTH Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach will be open for the summer. Now you will have to choose which water park you want to go to! We still have a few weeks until that happens, but we are at Typhoon Lagoon for its grand reopening.
Disney World is full of unique experiences you can’t find anywhere else — that’s what keeps us coming back time and time again (okay, that and the corn dog nuggets).
Four Seasons Orlando
But, some of the BEST experiences at Disney World can’t be found in the parks at all, but instead at the hotels! Whether you’re looking for a fireworks cruise or a fancy meal, chances are you can find it. And, if it’s Afternoon Tea you’re after, you’re going to want to visit the Four Seasons Orlando!
What is going on with this restaurant in EPCOT, and why is its fate still up in the air?
Restaurant Marrakesh
The Morocco Pavilion in EPCOT has been a little low on dining offerings ever since the COVID-19 pandemic. Previously, you could dine at Restaurant Marrakesh, Spice Road Table, or Tangierine Cafe pre-2020 days. However, Restaurant Marrakesh has been closed ever since. This restaurant served Moroccan fare and even offered entertainment in the form of a belly dancer. So what’s going on with it now?
Disney Adults have tons of preferences when it comes to how they do the parks — myself included.
Cosmic Ray’s at Magic Kingdom
And, there’s a certain pet peeve that seems to ring true for quite a few Disney Adults, and I can’t say that I disagree with them about it. You might be making this mistake without realizing it, but I’m pretty sure this is what the stink eye was invented for.
Big changes are coming to Magic Kingdom—and we’re not just talking about new churro flavors or merch drops.
Magic Kingdom
There are major new additions in the works, from a glowing new parade to full-on themed lands that’ll seriously reshape the park. Whether you’re planning a trip next year or just want the scoop on what’s ahead, we’ve got the rundown on everything confirmed (so far!) for 2025 and beyond. Let’s talk about what’s actually coming—and what might just blow your mind.
One would think that Disney World Annual Passholders are well-versed in everything about the resort and the benefits they receive.
