food IS a theme park
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is closed
This popular ride in Disney World will be closed for at least a year, reopening sometime in 2026 with a “little bit of new magic.” If you wanted to ride it one last time, you were able to do so on Sunday, January 5th, but now you will have to wait at least a year before hopping on “The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness” once again. With the closure, we noticed Disney made another small but impactful change at Magic Kingdom!
We have a confession to make: even though we could probably navigate through the Disney parks with our eyes closed, we still find ourselves picking up a park map every once in a while — they’re practically a collector’s item! Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer freebies in Disney World, so we cling to our good old paper park maps like they’re precious gold. Who knows, maybe someday our commemorative 50th Anniversary park map will be worth some CASH!
Ever take a picture and think, “This is cover-worthy”?
Speaking of park maps, it’s time for a redesign! Recently, Minnie Mouse took over the cover of Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ NEW park map (and looks FABULOUS), but now let’s check out the new Magic Kingdom park maps!
As the new year kicks off, we’ve seen lots of updates come to the parks.
Magic Kingdom
Both Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios recently received updated park maps to reflect these changes, and now it’s Magic Kingdom’s turn!
