food IS a theme park
It’s the beginning of the end for this beloved Animal Kingdom ride.
DinoLand U.S.A.
Animal Kingdom is undergoing heavy renovations to make way for the Pueblo Esperanza expansion, and we’ve just taken another step closer to change.
Can you believe it?! It won’t be too long before we get Pueblo Esperanza in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!!
Tropical Americas concept art
Back during the D23 2024: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, we had the confirmation of the new Tropical Americas (Pueblo Esperanza) land as well as the new Indiana Jones attraction coming to it. So, specifically we wanted to do a deep dive into the concept art and see if we could glean some info about the new Indiana Jones attraction that’ll be coming to Disney World! [Read more…]
It is with a heavy heart that we must say goodbye to a Disney World staple.
The sun is setting on DinoLand U.S.A.
While we’ve known for some time that DinoLand, U.S.A. would be closing in favor of a rethemed land at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, it’s still tough to say goodbye to the old land — which is exactly what we’ll have to do soon.

Well, you know what they say about the DINOSAUR ride in Disney’s Animal Kingdom…
DINOSAUR
“It’s fast. It’s a blast. It’s IN THE PAST.” The thing is, this DinoLand U.S.A. attraction is soon going to be really and truly… well, “in the past.” DinoLand, including its signature attraction DINOSAUR, is closing to be transformed into a new land themed to The Tropical Americas: Pueblo Esperanza. Let’s chat about that timeline, shall we? [Read more…]
Okay, let’s talk about Disney concept art, particularly concept art for new lands and new rides.
Macaw at Animal Kingdom
So we recently attended D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, where Disney made a TON of announcements about new rides and lands coming to Disney Parks (so much that it almost broke our brains, y’all). That means that we also got TONS of new concept art for these new lands and rides, but once we started studying that concept art, we noticed something strange — and it has everything to do with birds.
It’s been a MASSIVE weekend, friends!
Overview of Pueblo Esperanza coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom
At D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event this past weekend, we got to see tons of new merchandise (lots of which has hit the online Disney Store already), see loads of Disney Imagineers and icons, and of course, we heard TONS of HUGE news about what’s coming to Disney parks in the next few years. In case you missed it, here are the SEVEN (!!!) new rides coming to Disney World!

Haunted Mansion Holiday just opened back up for the season and we can’t wait for Oogie Boogie Bash to begin! If you’re heading to Disneyland anytime in the near future, we need to warn you about this upcoming ride closure!
We heard about lots of ambitious projects that Disney World looks to complete over the next few years.
We’re going to miss this
Several of the announcements that originally came from Destination D23 were things like closing Dinoland U.S.A., exploring what could be beyond Big Thunder Mountain, and a possible expansion for the Magic Kingdom park. However, one other expansion idea really seemed to land in favor with parkgoers and attendees when it was announced initially… so, why is no one talking about it now? [Read more…]
The 2023 Destination D23 event brought about much enthusiasm, but just as much backlash from Disney fans.
Chairman, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Josh D’Amaro
From replacing It’s Tough to Be A Bug with a Zootopia show to debuting an all-new (and reportedly funny-looking) Figment character at EPCOT, there were a few announcements that Disney fans didn’t really… appreciate. To say the least. Among these unappreciated changes is one coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
