food IS a theme park
A major Walt Disney World attraction is about to close… but NOT for long.
Blizzard Beach
During the last several years, Disney has operated their two water parks on an alternating basis, meaning that when Typhoon Lagoon was open, Blizzard Beach would be closed, and vice versa. Which in turn made the announcement that when the former reopens from refurbishment, the latter would be closing. However, that’s not the whole story this time…
Paddy’s Bar has officially opened in Disney Springs! We have been keeping a close eye on the construction since we first learned about this new bar in June 2024.
Paddy’s Bar is open!
And now, the time has come! We are here to check out the brand-new bar and give you all the details.
If you are heading to Disney World in April, we have an important update about EPCOT that you will want to be aware of!
EPCOT
EPCOT will have adjusted operating hours due to the runDisney Springtime Surprise Race, and we don’t want you to be caught by surprise.

Okay, so if you’re planning a Disney World trip in 2025, well, you’ve got a LOT to look forward to, and that includes a lot of NEW things.
Magic Kingdom
If you haven’t been to Disney World in the past year or so, you’ve got some new restaurants to check out (like The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers and Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs). Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom is still also pretty new. We’ve seen new shops open up in Disney Springs recently, as well. However, a LOT of NEW things will be opening for the FIRST TIME EVER in Disney World in 2025.
We just got some important news about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disneyland Park!
No more construction walls!
The new ride is opening at Disneyland Park on November 15th, 2024, and we just got confirmation on how guests will be able to experience this new attraction.
We’ve been getting hyped about the grand opening of Universal Orlando’s NEW theme park, Epic Universe.

We’ve learned a lot about the park’s five themed lands, as well as got details on when tickets went on sale (it’s now, people — TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW). We also learned about a special perk Universal Orlando Annual Passholders will be getting when it comes to Epic Universe. We’ve even learned details about the three new Epic Universe hotels, including opening dates. However, we just recently discovered that ONE of those hotels’ opening dates just got pushed back.
Things are about to get EPIC!
This new theme park is huge!
After YEARS of rumors, anticipation, construction photos, and land reveals, we FINALLY know more details OPENING DAY OF EPIC UNIVERSE! That’s right, we now have a better idea for when guests will be able to experience Celestial Park, Dark Universe, Super Nintendo World, Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Ministry of Magic, and How to Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk.
We always get excited when something new turns up in Disney World.
Disney Springs
Recently, in Disney Springs, we’ve seen new restaurants open up, as well as new stores (although some stores have closed). We recently learned that a new pop-up shop was coming soon, though, and let’s just say the HYPE behind the shop is real. Well, that store has appeared today, and we aren’t the only folks who want to get inside.
