Disney is working to make its parks even MORE technologically advanced in the coming years. Galaxy’s Edge We’ve seen groundbreaking animatronics and innovative rides, but the goal is to step up and do MORE before Disneyland Abu Dhabi opens down the line, as that park is going to be Disney’s most technologically-advanced yet. As part of that initiative, Disneyland Park will soon be getting snack carts operated by hovering droids! A little while back, we shared that Disney was working on a project to create snack carts with hovering droids that would be used for Star Wars areas in the future. These snack carts are inspired by a similar one featured in The Mandalorian and Grogu movie that released in theaters earlier this year, and were developed in conjunction with filmmaker Jon Favreau’s production department. ©Disney How do they work? Well, the droids hover over a stationary food truck as if it were a stage. Guests will be able to order several different soda options from a mobile app and then pick them up at the cart. Depending on what you order, the droids have programming to put on a little “show.” Bloomberg says, “If the guest only buys one drink, for example, the robot might act lonely.” A droid-themed drink cart in Galaxy’s Edge Disney’s team plans to showcase this new snack cart at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event on August 14th-16th, 2026. From there, they hope to potentially debut the cart in Disneyland Resort by the end of the year, likely in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Droid on a drink cart in Galaxy’s Edge We can’t wait to see this technology in action and report back on exactly how it operates. We have a feeling this would be a rather popular addition to Star Wars spaces in the parks!

After nearly ten years of operation, a Georgia theme park is permanently closing. ©Fun Spot Atlanta Fun Spot America Atlanta will close its gates for good following its final day of operation on August 2nd, 2026. In the press release, Fun Spot America shared that since opening in 2017, “the park has welcomed millions of guests and created lasting memories for families throughout the region.” Fun Spot America CEO John Arie Jr. said, “This was an extremely difficult decision. Our Atlanta team has poured their hearts into serving our guests and creating a place where families could have fun together. We are deeply grateful for their dedication, and for the support we have received from the Fayetteville community.” ©Fun Spot Atlanta According to the press release, the company will be working closely with team members throughout the transition and will be providing support resources during this period. ©Fun Spot Atlanta Daily park operations will continue as normal from 10 AM to 10 PM through August 2nd, 2026. Those with Season Passes can continue to use them through the closure, and they will continue to be honored at Fun Spot America’s Orlando and Kissimmee locations, which will remain open. ©Fun Spot Atlanta Fun Spot America first opened in 1997 in Orlando, Florida, followed by a location in Kissimmee, Florida. The Atlanta park was their third location, which boasts Fun Spot’s largest four-story go-kart track, The Samson. Standing at 40 feet tall and 1,800 feet long, the track was Georgia’s first and only multi-level go-kart track. Atlanta is also home to a Ferris Wheel, Batting Cages, and more. We’ll be on the lookout for additional theme park closures you might need to know about and more. In the meantime, make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest theme park news and beyond.

There’s a NEW restaurant coming to Disney’s BoardWalk, and we’re PUMPED. Let’s go to the BoardWalk! Disney announced a new dining and entertainment venue called Hurly-Burly will be opening at the BoardWalk in late 2026. This space will be family-friendly by day and ages 21+ at night, but what will it look like? Well, we’re breaking down the concept art to get more details! Disney hasn’t revealed very much information about Hurly-Burly so far. They’ve shared one piece of concept art when the dining spot was announced. In the afternoons, the space will have fun activities for the whole family, like host-led trivia and games. In the evenings, it will be exclusively open for the 21+ crowd as it turns into a live music venue and lounge. ©Disney From the concept art shared, we can see a piece of art on the wall that calls this space the Hurly-Burly Theatre. The “theatre” aspect may be part of the venue’s backstory. ©Disney Disney has said that the menu will feature “classic, coastal-inspired cocktails and tasty light bites.” Also in the concept art, there are a few drinks prominently pictured. One is a red beverage in a short glass with a fun garnish, while the other looks to be a bright purple concoction. Could these be some signature cocktails? ©Disney Another table shows a group of people with beverages that look more classic, along with a plate of sliders. Sliders are often a staple on lounge menus, so it wouldn’t be surprising if Hurly-Burly got some. There also seems to be a second appetizer that could be a charcuterie or dip of some kind. ©Disney In the center of the concept art, there’s a stage for performers, which has what looks to be a jazz band. Disney hasn’t shared the type of entertainment to expect outside of just “live music performances.” ©Disney One thing we’re noting in particular about this space is that there’s a broad mix of seating. Booths line the walls, while high-top tables are featured in the back. Near the stage, the tables are shorter with comfortable armchairs. Each table seems to have its own warm glow from small individual lamps. ©Disney We can’t wait to step inside Hurly-Burly later this year! We’ll keep our eyes peeled for more details, so subscribe to our newsletter for the latest! Get All the Hurly-Burly Info Here!

It’s certainly no secret that vacationing at Disney World and Disneyland can burn a hole in your pocket faster than you can say “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” but the parks and beyond are only getting more expensive. Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar Recently, hundreds of price increases swept through Disneyland Resort menu items, on everything from popcorn to DOLE Whips to bottled sodas and more. While we thought that may have been the end of it (for now), we’re unfortunately here to report that even more price increases have hit Disneyland Resort. More price increases have hit Disneyland food and drinks, folks. From quick service to table service to snack carts and more, eating will cost you more on your next trip to the Happiest Place on Earth. Disneyland Main Entrance Over at the Plaza Inn, breakfast pricing has increased from $55 to $58 per adult and from $33 to $35 per child. Both brunch and dinner pricing have increased at Goofy’s Kitchen as well: Brunch — Price changed from $64 to $67 per adult; $36 to $38 per child Dinner — Price changed from $69 to $76 per adult; $39 to $43 per child Plaza Inn breakfast Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar was also hit with price increases, a few of which can be found below: Pork Gyoza — Price changed from $18 to $20 Angus Hawaiian Cheeseburger — Price changed from $28 to $31 DOLE Whip Float with a splash of rum — Price changed from $18 to $19 Hawaiian Cheeseburger While this isn’t an exhaustive list of recent price increases, it should give you an idea of what you can expect on your next trip to Disneyland. The earlier price increases were expected as Disneyland’s annual increase, though we were hoping that was the last of it. These additional increases sting just a little bit more. If you are planning a trip to Disneyland, you’ll need to budget for a slight increase in food costs, and you might want to adjust your expectations and budget accordingly. Popcorn at Disneyland Some of the price increases from earlier in July include: Popcorn – Price changed from $6.50 to $7 Dole Whip – Price changed from $7.29 to $7.49 Pepperoni Pizza Slice – Price changed from $8.99 to $9.99 Bottled Sodas – Price changed from $5.19 to $5.49 Ronto Roasters Black Caf – Price changed from $4.79 to $5.49 Chicken Tenders – Price changed from $13.49 to $13.99 Disneyland Chicken Tenders We’ll be on the lookout for even more price increases at Disneyland Resort and beyond.

A new chapter is beginning on Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, where Bakari, a 21-year-old male western lowland gorilla, is gradually settling into his new home and role as the leader of the park’s family troop. Bakari’s arrival marks an important milestone. For nearly three decades, the family group was led by Gino, our beloved silverback, who helped shape generations of gorillas at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and beyond. Now, Bakari represents the next generation, and the beginning of an exciting new era for the troop. “Bringing Bakari here is bittersweet because it means we’ve said goodbye to Gino, who was our silverback for almost 30 years since the park’s opening,” said Rachel, animal care manager with Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment. “But it’s also incredibly exciting. Bakari is the future of this family troop, and we’re looking forward to watching him grow into that role and hopefully help welcome new generations of gorillas for years to come.” A Careful Introduction & Building New Bonds Of course, introducing a new member to the troop isn’t as simple as saying “welcome, Bakari.” Behind the scenes, animal care experts are guiding a carefully planned introduction process designed to help Bakari settle into his new home and allow him and the females time to build positive social relationships with each other. Before arriving at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Bakari lived in a bachelor group at another Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)-accredited zoo, where he spent time socializing with other males. Joining a family troop is a natural experience for adult male gorillas, but the group needs time to settle into their new dynamic which is why introductions happen gradually. First, the gorillas spend time seeing one another through a protected viewing area, allowing them to become familiar with each other while animal care experts closely monitor their interactions. As comfort levels grow, the introductions progress step by step, eventually allowing opportunities for touch and closer social interactions. Every milestone is guided by the expertise and observations of Disney’s animal care teams. “This is all very new for Bakari,” Rachel explained. “Our goal is to help him feel comfortable and confident at every stage. We take the process slowly because building those social relationships with the females is incredibly important.” This work is part of Disney’s ongoing commitment to exceptional animal care and is supported by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ (AZA) Species Survival Plan (SSP), which helps maintain strong, genetically diverse populations of western lowland gorillas in managed care.  “Pairing Bakari with our females can help strengthen the long-term future of the population,” Rachel said. “That’s important because we want future generations to be able to connect with these animals and be inspired to help protect them.” Getting to Know Bakari While Bakari is still getting to know his new family troop, animal care experts are also learning more about his unique personality. So far, he’s shown a calm and easygoing demeanor, often taking time to quietly observe his surroundings as he settles into life at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. One behavior that’s already becoming a favorite among his caretakers? Bakari loves to stretch out and lounge with his chin resting on his hand while taking in all the activity around him. Did You Know? The troop’s dominant silverback plays an important role in guiding and protecting the family, helping maintain a stable and cohesive dynamic. Gorilla troops are built around strong family bonds, often made up of multiple females and their offspring, with a single dominant male at the center.  Within the troop, gorillas learn from one another through daily interactions, making each new introduction an important step in building those relationships over time.  For guests, that means even more to explore and discover along Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail. As Bakari continues to settle into his new home, you may begin to see him interacting with other members of the troop, offering a unique opportunity to observe these incredible animals up close at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Bakari’s arrival also highlights the care, expertise, and science led by Disney’s animal care team to help protect this critically endangered species. Each step forward supports not only the wellbeing of the gorillas at Walt Disney World, but also broader conservation efforts to help gorillas thrive in the wild.

EPCOT’s Mexico Pavilion is one of the most distinctive and popular pavilions in the park’s World Showcase. The pavilion provides a heavily themed environment, an attraction that harkens back to the earliest days of EPCOT, and, of course, a slew of dining options! Who’s ready for a sweet treat? Part of what makes Mexico so special is that some — but not all, as we’ll get to — of the pavilion is indoors. This controlled environment gives the whole pavilion a climate advantage over the rest of World Showcase, since it’s the only one unaffected by weather issues, including shifting temperatures and rain. Guests enter through a massive pyramid facade, pass through a gallery of Mexican artwork, and enter into a recreation of a Mexican village marketplace, the Plaza de los Amigos. The air-conditioned indoor setting is set at perpetual twilight, with a looming volcano and pyramid in the distance. So, what are the keys to dining in this environment? Let’s find out. San Angel Inn Restaurante Is Disney World’s Answer to The Blue Bayou Let’s begin just in front of that looming volcano with one of EPCOT’s opening day restaurants. Serving well-known Mexican dishes including tortilla soup, enchiladas, tacos, and more, this restaurant’s environment is essentially the closest dining experience Disney World has to the Blue Bayou. Like that Disneyland classic, the San Angel Inn Restaurante is an indoor restaurant that’s themed to be outside, with the vehicles of the Gran Fiesta Tour water ride passing right by the restaurant. San Angel Inn Restaurante 6 Overlooked EPCOT World Showcase Restaurants You Keep Forgetting to Add to Your List You Might Want to Save Your La Cava del Tequila Drink for AFTER Your Ride on Gran Fiesta Tour Speaking of Gran Fiesta Tour, a quick word of advice from personal experience: Maybe save grabbing a drink from La Cava for after your voyage, as the drinks have a tendency to be strong, and those boats have a tendency to rock. That said, definitely be sure to stop by, as La Cava offers over 200 tequilas, cocktails, Mexican beer, and wine, as well as light bites like guacamole and queso with corn chips. However, that popularity does lead to major crowds in a small space, which leads us to… The Vaqueros Falsetto Choza de Margarita May Offer Less of a Wait for A Drink If you’re looking for a refreshing drink without a long line, you can leave the pyramid and head across the promenade to the small outdoor portion of the Mexico Pavilion (told you we’d get there) to instead enjoy a hand-blended or frozen margarita at the Choza De Margarita window. These margaritas might not be handcrafted like you’ll find over at La Cava, but they’re still fruity, refreshing, and VERY boozy! Mango Margarita Poptail These 5 World Showcase Hacks Are Getting Out of Control in EPCOT There IS a Dining Option Outside the Pyramid at La Hacienda de San Ángel However, margaritas aren’t the only thing available outside. Located right on the World Showcase lagoon, La Hacienda de San Ángel provides gorgeous views as well as authentic Mexican cuisine like the Enchiladas de Chorizo (corn tortillas filled with plant-based chorizo and topped with beans, Ranchera salsa, Monterey Jack cheese, crema Mexicana, cotija cheese, and crispy onions) and premium margaritas. Enchiladas de Chorizo The Trend Disney Adults Wish You Would STOP In EPCOT’s Mexico Pavilion La Cantina de San Angel Offers a Hidden Gem Dessert Appropriately enough, our final point is about a hidden gem dessert located at the outdoor La Cantina de San Angel, and it’s the Churro Sundae. This decadent $7.99 dessert dish includes caramel and vanilla swirl soft serve (you can choose one or both) smothered in caramel sauce, with mini churros, and red, white, and green sprinkles. The caramel and vanilla soft serve is creamy and delicious, the caramel sauce is nice and gooey, and the churros are… well, your typical Disney World churros. The vanilla version of the Churro Sundae Bonus Tip: If you get this sundae early enough in the day, you can usually eat it in the seating area for La Hacienda de San Ángel, as that restaurant’s seating area is open to quick-service diners for the early part of the day before closing to prepare for dinner service. Cantina de San Ángel EPCOT’s Mexico Pavilion is one of World Showcase’s most unique, including its dining and drinking options. Stay tuned to DFB for more on EPCOT’s dining offerings.

On our visit to Animal Kingdom today, we popped in to see the Zootopia: Better Zoogether show! This show has been very popular since it opened last year. Zootopia: Better Zoogether But today we were SHOCKED to see that an all-new scene had been added to this show. Here’s everything you need to know!

In this all-new preshow, Mayor Winddancer is live on the air introducing the Zoogether Day festivities. Things start to go awry, and you can hear him call out right before the live-stream ends, “Can somebody get the bunny and fox on this?” Which is a great lead-up into Nick and Judy’s mission of saving Zoogether Day. If you are not aware, Mayor Winddancer is a new character introduced in Zootopia 2, so this new scene is an amazing way to further incorporate Zootopia 2 into this show. New preshow! There are other familiar Zootopia 2 characters, such as Nibbles Maplestick, that you can spot during the show as Nick and Judy visit many of the Zootopia neighborhoods as they try to uncover who is tampering with the Zoogether Day celebrations.

Disney World isn’t all hot dogs and pretzels, and if that’s all you’re eating, you might be missing out on some fantastic meals. There are some great restaurants across Disney World property, including a variety of signature restaurants where you can try high-end offerings. You’ve probably heard of some of the most famous of these spots, like California Grill and Le Cellier, but other top-notch restaurants are HIDING around property. And recently, we visited Disney World’s fanciest hotel to eat at a spot you probably haven’t heard of. Four Seasons Orlando Who wants to go to the Four Seasons Orlando? Meeeeee! The Four Seasons Resort Orlando is located on Disney World property inside the Golden Oak neighborhood, but it’s not owned by Disney. We visited their fine-dining restaurant Capa back in 2023, but we’ve been so busy trying other new restaurants that we haven’t been back since. So when our editor suggested we go back, we lit up like the viral Four Seasons Baby. Is Capa still worth a stop on your trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Let’s find out! Atmosphere The Four Seasons Resort Orlando is one of the priciest places you can stay in Disney World, with standard rooms often costing more than $1000 per night. Along with that fancy price tag comes some very fancy amenities, including a 17th-floor rooftop steakhouse called Capa. Capa The space has tons of indoor seating, with both booths and tables available. The rooftop terrace is the star of the show, though, which we requested for a reason. We were able to see both EPCOT and Hollywood Studios from our table, and if we had eaten a later dinner, we could’ve seen fireworks from the parks! Our table But enough about the restaurant — what’s on the menu here?! Menu This Spanish-influenced steakhouse offers fresh Florida seafood, high-quality beef, and small plates to try an array of items. The menu The dessert menu is more heavily Spanish-influenced, where you’ll find churros, gazpacho, and dulce de leche, among some more traditional Spanish desserts. The dessert menu And now, onto the main event — the food! Eats First up, we grabbed the Croquetas for $14. This is made with Jamón Serrano (dry-cured Spanish ham), bechamel sauce, and onion soubise. Croquetas These Croquetas had a crispy outside with a fluffy interior. They were filled with salty ham, creamy bechamel, herb oil, and sweet onions, so they were super flavorful and strong. Our only complaint is that we wish we had more, because we could eat 10 in one sitting – they’re that good! Croquetas For our entree, we got the New York Strip for $68. This is a 12-ounce prime steak from Creekstone Farms Premium Beef in Arkansas City, Kansas. New York Strip This New York Strip was melt-in-your-mouth tender and flavorful. It’s served with caramelized onions on top, which were sweet and umami and perfectly complemented the high-quality meat. This is a large enough serving size to share, but we don’t blame you if you’re keeping it all for yourself! New York Strip And for dessert, we finished with the Churros De Madrid for $18. These are churros served with chocolate and dulcey (blond chocolate) sauces. Churros De Madrid These churros are light and fluffy with a crispy fried exterior. They’re coated in vanilla sugar instead of a traditional cinnamon sugar, making the flavor warmer and more unique. The star of the show wasn’t the chocolate sauce, but the Dulcey. It’s creamy with caramel notes similar to dulce de leche, with a pinch of saltiness to add some depth. Churros De Madrid Nosh or Not This Disney World restaurant is a must-visit if… You’re looking for a spot with awesome fireworks views. You can see Magic Kingdom AND EPCOT fireworks from this spot since it’s on the 17th-floor rooftop of the Four Seasons. It’s a really unique spot to enjoy the fireworks from. You want a top-of-the-line culinary experience. Some of the food we’ve had here has truly been absolutely FANTASTIC. This is a Spanish-influenced steakhouse with steaks, seafood, tapas, charcuterie, cheese, and more. If you’re looking for a high-quality meal, you will find it here. You’re looking for a special place to celebrate a special occasion. If you’re celebrating something, Capa can be a great place to include in your plans. The menu has plenty of options and the views are spectacular — all in all, it makes for a special experience. You should skip this Disney World spot if… You’re trying to save money and eat at cheaper restaurants. Meals here can be EXPENSIVE. Expect to drop a LOT of money on your experience here. If it’s cheap or budget-friendly restaurants you’re after, this might not be the best bet. You don’t have a car and want to use Disney transportation ONLY on your trip. This spot is in the Four Seasons hotel, and Disney transportation does NOT operate within there. You’ll need to arrange your own transportation to get there — i.e., use a rideshare service or use your own car. If you were just hoping to take Disney buses. boats, the monorail, etc. to dinner, that won’t work here. You are traveling with really picky eaters. While the menu is extensive and there is PLENTY to pick from, if you’ve got a super, super picky eater in the group who only eats chicken tenders and fries, this experience may be lost on them. There are chicken tenders and fries on the menu (in the kids menu), but the experience as a whole may simply not be “worth it” for those who don’t necessarily care about getting a super high-quality dish for their meal. Overall All in all, our dinner at Capa was absolutely phenomenal. They put a lot of care into the flavor combinations and the quality of ingredients chosen for this meal. We would definitely recommend this meal to someone looking for a fine-dining experience with a spectacular view. Just check out the sunset from the patio! So pretty!
