We are definitely in the era of change at Walt Disney World. Several ride updates are on the horizon, and new lands are being developed as we speak in the theme parks! Disney Springs Not even Disney Springs, Disney’s shopping and dining district, is immune to the changes. This year alone, 3 stores have closed permanently, and we’ve got all of the info right here, so you’re not caught unaware! Yes, there are lots of closures, construction, and more these days around the Disney World resort, but three permanent closures in just 4 months does feel like a lot! First, we lost Sprinkles Cupcakes in January 2026. Sprinkles Cupcakes Sprinkles was a part of a nationwide closure of the brand’s brick-and-mortar stores that took place on January 1st, 2026. Ahead of the sudden closure, there was speculation online that the Disney Springs location would be closing up shop, so it wasn’t too much of a shock once the doors were finally closed. Sprinkles Cupcakes is closed Disney didn’t waste much time, though! This spot was quickly occupied by the Black Tap CrazyShakes pop-up, so you can still find a sweet treat at this location. This location is only for a limited time and will be available until June 1st, 2026. Mickey Mouse Shake from Black Tap The second permanent closure was Francesca’s! This women’s apparel store closed its doors on March 29th, after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in early 2026 and proceeded to shut down all store locations. Francesca’s The store ran several last-minute discounts ahead of its closure, and we even stopped by to see workers clearing the store out after its last day. When we glanced inside the store, there was no hint of what might replace it. The store had been open for nearly 10 years at Disney Springs, so it’s sad to see such a staple go! Francesca’s is now closed Finally, the Shore clothing store is also closing its doors very soon! The clothing store’s last day will be on April 30th, 2026, so there isn’t much time left. Shore If you head to Disney Springs before its closure, there are some big sales going on because everything in the store is currently 40% off. These sales aren’t available online, so you will have to swing by Disney Springs to take advantage of the discounts. The sales! Disney hasn’t shared what will replace the beachwear store, but we are keeping our eyes peeled for more news. These three permanent closures join several others from the last few years, including the Art of Shaving, the Sosa Family Cigars shop, the Uggs Store, Sanuk, and more. While change can be hard, it is exciting to see what new offerings might pop up in the near future. As always, be sure to keep DisneyFoodBlog for more Disney news, updates, and more.

Spring just has a way of making everything feel fresh again — flowers start blooming, the weather warms up, and there’s a little extra magic in the air. Spring is in the air!

The 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival has been underway for a while now, but there are still NEW menu items to try! EPCOT Farmers Feast We love trying out all of the Outdoor Kitchens (aka food booths) featured during this EPCOT festival, and one booth actually changes throughout! Come with us to EPCOT Farmers Feast to try the NEW Springtime menu! Menu Over at EPCOT’s Farmers Feast, you’ll find a variety of available items. This is a special booth that has time-released menu items! Yep, depending on when you visit, you can experience a whole new set of bites and nibbles! From April 6th to May 10th, you can experience these items. Springtime Menu You can check out our review of the Early Bloom menu right here! But now it’s time to dig into the Springtime menu. Eats As part of the Springtime menu, we grabbed the Heirloom Tomatoes and Fresh Mozzarella with shallot vinaigrette, sourdough croutons, pesto, micro basil, and balsamic pearls for $5.19. Heirloom Tomatoes and Fresh Mozzarella This was SO summery and fresh! The tomatoes were juicy and firm, but not overly so. The vinaigrette had an herby, slightly tangy flavor similar to balsamic but a bit more balanced. The mozzarella was fresh and soft with a nice, chewy texture that paired really well with the tomatoes. The croutons added a crunchy texture that helped break up the softness of the rest of the dish, and everything just paired really well together. We’d definitely get this again, especially when paired with the next dish! Heirloom Tomatoes and Fresh Mozzarella We also tried the Grilled Beef Strip Loin with tomato risotto, tomato beurre blanc, and basil pesto. You can get this dish for $8.79. Grilled Beef Strip Loin Firstly, we loved the tomato risotto — and there was quite a bit of it! It was filling with a fluffy consistency that wasn’t overly dense. We loved that there were actual tomatoes in it. The strip loin was well-cooked with a firm texture, but still had a bit of softness thanks to the pink center. Some parts were fattier than others, but in the best way — it basically melted in our reporter’s mouth. It had a peppery flavor to it, and the herby sauce leveled up the whole dish. Grilled Beef Strip Loin For dessert, we had the Peach Cobbler with cinnamon gelato and streusel topping for $4.79. Peach Cobbler This melted VERY quickly, but it still tasted fantastic. The peach flavor is prominent, with several sliced peaches at the bottom of the dish. The crumble topping stayed nice and crunchy, which was almost granola-like, which helped break up the rest of the soft textures of the dish. We loved the cinnamon gelato as it paired really well with the fruitiness of the peach. This might be a new Best of the Fest for us! Peach Cobbler But wait, there’s more! Drinks To drink, we picked up the new Playalinda Brewing Company Hibiscus Tangelo Hard Seltzer. This is available for $12.50. This was a refreshing, fruit-forward seltzer that felt more like a cocktail than a true seltzer. It reminded us of a mixed berry juice, with a hint of citrus. Very drinkable and something we would definitely get again, especially on a hot day! Playalinda Brewing Company Hibiscus Tangelo Hard Seltzer So, is this new menu worth a new visit to the festival?

It’s hard to believe, but May the 4th is less than a month away — we know, it came as a surprise to us too! ©Disney The good news is, Disney has you covered when it comes to preparing. There’s an entire new collection online right now to help you prepare for Star Wars Day, but we’ll warn you — we have a feeling some of it is going to go fast, so act now and grab them while you can! DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. What’s Star Wars Day Without a New MagicBand? ©Disney If you’re someone who loves using MagicBands and MagicBand+ inside the parks, then you won’t want to miss the new Star Wars Day ”May the 4th Be With You” MagicBand+! The band itself is black and features The Mandalorian on the top touch point, has the “Star Wars Day 2026” logo on the side, along with prominent characters Din Djarin, Grogu, Boba Fett, and Ahsoka Tano on the band. Grab it online! Everyone Needs Another Tote Bag ©Disney You can never have too many tote bags, right? We don’t think that’s possible, and even if you were getting close to whatever that number may be, the Star Wars Day 2026 ”May the 4th Be With You” Tote Bag is totally an exception! The bag is black with the Star Wars Day 2026 design on the front, which is similar to the MagicBand.

When it comes to eating around Disney World, you’re likely thinking about all the Disney-specific snacks you want to grab. That’s great, don’t get us wrong, as they are unique to the resort, but if you’re traveling for a longer trip, you may find yourself looking for something more generic that reminds you of home a little more. There’s never a bad time for ice cream! We know, you may be sitting there going, “What?! No, I’ll never get tired of the Disney food, that’s a big reason why I’m going!” We 100% get that, but take it from us — we’re in the parks EVERY day, and our team members who don’t live locally travel in pretty often, and they’ll tell you firsthand that if your trip is 5+ days, you’ll eventually be craving something normal. One of the best places to head for a generic sweet treat in Disney Springs is none other than Häagen-Dazs, even though this spot is often overlooked! Atmosphere Häagen-Dazs is located on the West Side of Disney Springs, and as it’s a kiosk, a lot of people walk right by it. Yes, these spots are located all around the United States, so grabbing a treat here isn’t a special Disney snack, but hey, if you’re craving good ice cream that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, this is a good spot! Häagen-Dazs There isn’t any designated seating for this spot, but there are community tables nearby. During busy seasons, it may be hard to find a spot, and there’s virtually no shade right nearby, so keep that in mind. We know there’s ice cream on the menu here, but what exactly can you get? Menu There are usually about 14 flavors on the menu here, and as for the different types of ice cream served, you can grab: Ice Cream Cups (Mini, Small, and Regular Dazzler Sundaes (Small and Regular) Build-Your-Own-Sundaes (Small and Regular) Shakes with Toppings (Small and Regular) Build-Your-Own Shake (Small and Regular) Assorted Ice Cream Bars Waffle Cones, Dipped Waffle Cones, and toppings are also available ©Disney And now, onto the main event — the food! Drinks We decided to grab a small of the Dark Cherry Truffle Milkshake for $9.75. We did order this with whipped cream, but it was unavailable during our visit. We really loved that the cherry flavor here was on the more genuine, tart side, rather than leaning artificial, and since the consistency of the shake is slightly thinner than others, it made it easy to drink. Dark Cherry Truffle Milkshake The chocolate truffle pieces add a great, rich flavor that blends beautifully with the cherry — if you’re someone who loves this combination, we don’t think you’ll be disappointed! Eats We also grabbed a Mini cup of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream for $6.75, and this was packed full of cookie dough pieces and chocolate chips, which we appreciated. The ice cream itself was creamy and dense, though it will melt fast in the Florida heat. We think the mini is best for someone who just wants a quick treat, as it’s only about one scoop. Mini cup of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream We also grabbed a Regular cup of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream for $8.75. The portion here was noticeably larger, but the quality of the ice cream wasn’t diminished by the larger size. Regular cup of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream Again, though, since it does melt fast, this would be a size we recommend sitting down and eating right away. Nosh or Not This Disney World restaurant is a must-visit if… Guests looking for a quick, familiar dessert. If you want something that reminds you of home, or that you don’t need to worry about really savoring because it may be the only time you have it, this is a good stop. Those wanting something cold and easy to enjoy between activities. The treats here aren’t massive, and they’re reasonably priced, so we think it’s a good fit to grab quick as you’re walking around or during a small break between activities. Guests who prefer classic flavors over more experimental or themed offerings. Picky eaters, this is a great choice for you! The flavors are familiar, you won’t need to think too hard, and there’s something for everyone. You should skip this Disney World spot if… Guests seeking unique, Disney-exclusive desserts. This is not the spot to find that picturesque, Disney-themed dessert, and if that’s what you’re heading here for, you’ll be deeply disappointed. Those looking for a more immersive or themed dining experience. There’s no Disney theming here, and really no theming at all, so if that’s a big proponent for you, we suggest checking out another spot nearby, like Goofy’s Candy Co. If you want a dessert that holds up longer in the heat. This will melt fast, as will most ice cream, so if you’re not a fan of that, or don’t want to potentially get sticky, perhaps look into other desserts like cookies from Gideon’s Bakehouse or Summer House on the Lake. Overall We’re glad this spot is in Disney Springs, and it’s easy to get to, as it’s a great addition to Disney Springs. It provides a familiar, reliable option for a quick dessert, and while it may not offer the uniqueness of other Disney Springs treats, its convenience, speed, and recognizable flavors make it a practical stop. Especially if you want a sweet treat fast! Birthday Cake Dazzler Ice Cream In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for more restaurant updates from Disney World and beyond.

2026 is going to be a year of major change at Walt Disney World, as massive years-long construction projects continue to reshape the future of the resort. However, that doesn’t mean nothing new is coming in 2026. New missions will be added to Millennium Falcon: Smugglers run in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu. While some of the larger projects won’t be finished and open to guests until calendar turns 2027 — and beyond — there are major changes CONFIRMED to be coming to Disney World THIS YEAR! Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin – April 8th Tomorrowland’s Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin closed on August 4th, 2025, for a refurbishment that is bringing new ride vehicles, new blasters, and a new scene featuring the park’s original robot character named Buddy, who will ensure “departing Space Rangers are fully prepared for their mission (by) enthusiastically providing encouragement, final system checks on their Star Cruisers, and a chance to hone their blaster aim.” After several previews and soft-openings, the ride is reopening officially on April 8th. It’s Buddy! Smugglers Run W/Mando & Grogu Updates – May 22nd In conjunction with the release of the new Star Wars Mandalorian & Grogu feature film on May 22nd, Millennium Falcon Smuggler’s Run will see the addition of a new mission based on the titular character and his youngling Grogu (Baby Yoda, to those of you unfamiliar with the Galaxy Far, Far Away). According to Disney, as part of the new experience, “the crew will be in control of their own destination, leading to potential adventures on Bespin, the wreckage of the second Death Star around Endor, or the just-announced bustling city-planet, Coruscant.” In addition, another new gameplay addition allows the engineer positions to communicate with Grogu, making them much more “important” to the ride’s overall story and narrative. ©Disney Soarin Over America – May 26th In celebration of America’s 250th birthday this coming July, EPCOT’s Soarin’ will receive an “all-new airborne adventure across the US, honoring the heart and spirit of the nation.” Disney even brought in “aviation” legend Patrick Warburton (IYKYK) to announce the overlay, which will be opening at Disney World on May 26th. ©Disney | View of the Grand Canyon in the new version of Soarin’ Magic of Disney Animation – May 26th May 26th is also scheduled to see the opening of the NEW iteration of the reimagined Walt Disney Studios area, which will open in the former Animation Courtyard. The area will feature a new take on The Magic of Disney Animation, a Mary Blair-themed play area, and the new Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show, which will feature “upbeat original songs, plenty of interactive fun for the little ones, and appearances by beloved Disney characters to sing and dance with.” ©Disney Bluey’s Wild World – May 26th Finally, May 26th will ALSO see another major opening, because Disney decided to go HARD on Memorial Day Weekend this year. Animal Kingdom will finally welcome Bluey! The park’s Conservation Station will be home to Bluey’s Wild World, where guests will able to “play and dance with Bluey and Bingo! Play some of (their) favorite games from Bluey episodes with a fun animal twist, like butterfly keepy uppy”, grab the whole family and “snap some pictures alongside your Blue Heeler pals to remember this one-of-a-kind adventure. Plus, as part of your wild excursion, step outside to discover an experience with animals native to Bluey’s home country of Australia! ©Disney In addition to these confirmed dates, several MAJOR Disney World projects are confirmed to open sometime this year, including: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad: The iconic E-Ticket Big Thunder Mountain Railroad has been closed since January 2025 for a massive refurbishment project. According to Disney, the attraction is scheduled to reopen in Spring 2026 with “new magic,” including a fully refurbished track and a new sequence inspired by the Rainbow Caverns of Disneyland’s Mine Train Through Nature’s Wonderland. The ride is scheduled to reopen in May. Rock & Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets: The original Aerosmith iteration of the Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster closed in early March to make way for a new Muppet-themed version. The ride is scheduled to be under refurbishment before reopening sometime in the summer, as the “Bad Boys of Boston” are being replaced by a new theme starring The Muppets! According to Disney, the ride will be “fueled by the tasty tunes of the Electric Mayhem and the high-speed hijinks of The Muppets.” Level99: Disney Springs will see new openings in 2026, including Level99. Located at the site of the former NBA Experience, this interactive, social entertainment center will feature “real-world, challenge-based, social entertainment” for adults, featuring physical and mental challenges set in artistic environments. The location will also offer food and drink options at a 2-story bar, including “handcrafted cocktails, local beers and made-from-scratch bites—including LEVEL99’s signature Detroit-style pizza.” It’s scheduled to open in the spring. Six Ravens: A new concept from the company behind Gideon’s Bakehouse, is also coming to Disney Springs this year. According to owner Steve Lewis, the locations will be focused on savory offerings, specializing in “Coffyns.” Described as an “old school hand pie”, the fluffy yeast bread pastry will be “filled with flavors created not only by the talented minds in Gideon’s kitchen but also by some of your favorite Orlando culinary superstars.” Six Ravens will also serve savory potatoes, local draft beer, and, obviously, “some tasty desserts.” The eatery is scheduled to open sometime this year Vans Store: 2026 will also see the opening of a new flagship location of the iconic skate shoe brand at Disney Springs. Muppet Paint Job 2026 will see a slew of major openings at Walt Disney World, including some long-awaited ride refurbishments.

It’s no secret that it gets HOT in Disney World! The summers can be brutal if you’re not prepared, and it makes us wish that Disney really did have that rumored weather dome. Cinderella Castle Thanks to a new patent recently filed by Disney, it seems like the company is working towards getting better at warning guests about those infamous heat waves and other weather issues. We’re breaking down what we know right here. In a new patent submitted on April 2nd, 2026, Disney detailed a new project called Predicting and Mitigating Effects of Environmental Conditions. In this patent, Disney describes a new system that has a “user device” that will “determine the environmental conditions for a location.” So… what does that mean? ©United States Patent The system would use weather data, specifically local forecasts and weather sensors on Disney property, to send guests alerts that will potentially impact their day. In the patent, Disney details how the weather can potentially ruin your day by writing, “people or animals exposed to heat and humidity, particularly while engaging in an activity (e.g., walking, running, etc.), can develop heat stress or other biological conditions.” ©United States Patent Rather than just using the general weather app on your phone, this new system would send specific alerts to guests on their mobile devices based on their specific location on the property and their plans. The patent also details that “the prediction is based on at least one of a biological characteristic of the user and/or an activity schedule of the user.” This would allow the system to give you heat warnings that would impact you directly and not just anywhere at the theme parks. ©United States Patent These warnings could give guests time to adjust their schedule, make a plan to escape the heat, or find water and a cooling device ahead of the heat waves. The patent also details that the individual could be “a person, an animal, or a plant,” so this could also help Disney with their internal operations as well. It could alert the animal care teams about potential harm coming to the animals at the resort or even how the plants and vegetables could be impacted. ©United States Patent They detailed that this system will “allow many activities to be continued in a more comfortable and less harmful manner by helping to identify and prevent overexposure within a particular environment.” They also shared that the goal of this system is to “allow construction work, athletes, tourists, and the like to more efficiently, enjoyably, and productively maintain a desired activity schedule, even in harsh environmental conditions, such as hot, humid summer days.” Main Street, U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom Based on the patent and the mention of “mobile devices,” we could see this system being added to the My Disney Experience App, which also keeps your theme park schedule and general information already. This system would also focus on pollution levels around the resort. To explain how this feature would be used, the patent writes, “Consider an example where a user is attending an amusement park. Initially, the user may create or optionally may be provided with an itinerary including an order of rides and when to take food and/or rest breaks…it may be predicted that the user may approach and even cross an air pollution exposure threshold if the initially set/provided itinerary is followed due to, for example, smoke from a nearby wildfire.” After getting a notification about the air pollution, the system would send an updated recommendation that guests can either accept or decline. Disney Fries at Casey’s Corner It seems like this system could have several different uses throughout your vacation in Disney World, and it might even help prevent some disasters along the way. We’re eager to see when and if this system will be added to the Disney vacation experience in the near future. As always, be sure to keep following DisneyFoodBlog for more news and updates.

Tucked inside the Morocco Pavilion at EPCOT, Restaurant Marrakesh has long been a hidden gem that has been closed for years, and we have the perfect idea to revitalize it. Morocco Pavilion in EPCOT Since the closing of Disney World in 2020, this once vibrant dining spot has remained largely closed, only occasionally reopening as overflow seating during festivals like the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival or as a lounge space for Annual Passholders. And while we’ve appreciated having access to the space in any capacity, we can’t help but feel like it’s time for something more permanent. and honestly, something transformative. We recently stepped aboard the Disney Adventure, Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship sailing out of Singapore, and while we expected plenty of innovation, we were NOT prepared for the coffee experience that would completely change our standards forever. Located on Deck 7 near TWG Tea, Bacha Coffee immediately stood out. This historic brand, which dates back to 1910 and originated in Marrakech, felt like a perfect thematic match for EPCOT’s Morocco Pavilion, as if it was meant to be there all along. Bacha Coffee The coffee shop on the Adventure is stunning, with design elements inspired by Aladdin — think rich colors, intricate details, and an overall sense of opulence. (Sounding familiar to Restaurant Marrakesh?) But what stood out to us was the experience. What started as a quick stop for a to-go coffee quickly turned into something we’ll be talking about for a long time. We were invited to sit at the bar, and suddenly, we weren’t just grabbing caffeine, but instead, we were part of a full-on, elevated tasting experience. Bacha Coffee on Disney Adventure Every detail felt intentional. Silver coasters, ornate spoons, glass straws, and engraved cups. The menu alone was overwhelming in the best way, with TWO full books of options. Thankfully, the Cast Members were incredibly knowledgeable, guiding us through the selection process based on our flavor preferences. We ended up trying both a hot and an iced option. The hot coffee arrived in a stunning gooseneck gold kettle, while the iced version was paired with Chantilly cream and liquid syrup on the side. It was indulgent, luxurious, and completely unforgettable. Hot Coffee Yes, the prices were higher than your average cup of coffee (almost double), but for the quality and the experience? We’d do it again in a heartbeat. Which brings us back to EPCOT. With Bacha Coffee’s deep roots in Marrakech, its immersive theming, and its truly unique offering, we can’t think of a better fit for the currently underutilized Restaurant Marrakesh space. Instead of leaving this beautiful pavilion corner in limbo, why not bring in an experience that feels both authentic and excitingly new? It would elevate the Morocco Pavilion in a whole new way and give guests a reason to linger, explore, and sip something extraordinary. Our to-go order at Bacha At the end of the day, we’re dreaming big, but this is one update that would truly change our EPCOT day. Restaurant Marrakesh deserves some new life, and Bacha Coffee feels like the perfect answer.

There’s just something special about getting a sweet treat in Disney World! Disney is known for some amazing desserts like Dole Whip, Mickey ice cream bars, and more. While we LOVE those staples, we also love hunting for some harder-to-find bites that not everyone will know about. The Carrot Cake One of the best places to go for a delicious snack is the Boardwalk’s Cake Bake Shop Bakery! This has been a favorite of ours since it opened, but how do its two new desserts hold up? We’re about to find out together! Over at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort, you’ll find the Cake Bake Shop Bakery, where you can stroll in to grab pastries, coffee, beverages, and those (semi-famous) slices of cake. During our stop by the bakery, we grabbed two brand-new items to test out. The Cake Bake Shop Bakery First, we grabbed the Carrot Cake for $22. This cake is a spiced carrot cake that can be made without nuts or raisins. It’s filled and frosted with their signature cream cheese frosting and topped with decorative silk flowers! This cake was certainly pretty. The cake inside the restaurant! This one was a nice surprise! Unlike traditional carrot cake, the chunks of carrots were cut up finely, so it didn’t have too much of a textural element. The spices were the star of the show and it made the cake sweet and aromatic. This is a thick slice! The cream cheese was the perfect texture in our eyes. It wasn’t too thick, but it also wasn’t runny, so it helped the cake hold its shape while we were enjoying it. Someone even stopped us when we were taking photos of this cake and asked if it was the Carrot Cake. When we replied yes, they shared that they had it inside the Cake Bake Restaurant and declared it “the best cake ever,” so it seems to be a hit at the restaurant as well. The topper! While the flower on top isn’t edible, we did think it was a very pretty touch! The cake was moist, sweet, and not too dry at any point. While Easter might be over, this is a great bite to grab to celebrate the holiday. This was a hefty cake! Next, we tried out the Mixed Berry Cheesecake Cup for $15! This cup is made up with a graham cracker European all-butter crust, the shop’s homemade cheesecake, and fresh glazed blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. The cheesecake! The cheesecake was light and fluffy once we got through that big layer of berries! It almost felt like a whipped cheesecake texture because of how light it was as we were trying it out. The berries sadly didn’t impress us too much. They were fresh but not overly flavorful or juicy. The cheesecake cup! Once we mixed the berries into the cheesecake, we enjoyed it more! This can get a bit messy when you mix it, so something to be wary of. It was sweet and even had some gold flakes on top for extra shine. Have a bite! We are still big fans of the Cake Bake Shop, so if you’re looking for a larger-than-life slice of cake or a quick drop-in dessert, this is a great spot to check out.

Disney has recently announced new lands, attractions, and entertainment headed to the theme parks, new ships coming to the Disney Cruise Line, and so much more. But what about those projects that Disney hasn’t exactly announced yet? Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge We’re always keeping up with the latest construction permits that Disney World files, as it can be a great way to find out just what is going on around the parks and hotels, and we recently spotted some you might want to know about! Disney World recently filed some Notices of Commencement for construction permits that could point to major changes coming to the parks, starting with EPCOT. A new permit was filed to install signage in the Land Pavilion! Land Pavilion While the permit doesn’t specify exactly where in the Land Pavilion this new signage is being installed, we have a feeling it might have something to do with the changes coming to Soarin’ Around the World. Soarin’ Around the World Soarin’ Around the World is getting a patriotic makeover for the 250th birthday of the U.S.A., changing into Soarin’ Across America. According to the Disney World website, Soarin’ Across America will debut on May 26th, 2026. To make way for the changes, Soarin’ Around the World will close on May 13th, 2026, which would align with the filing of this new permit. We’ll have to wait and see for sure, though! ©Disney We spotted even more permits over at Hollywood Studios, in Galaxy’s Edge. Three new permits were filed to install set elements in Galaxy’s Edge, specifically behind Black Spire Outfitters. Black Spire Outfitters Disney hasn’t announced anything new for this area, so we’re interested to see what this ends up being. It does seem like something we’ll end up being able to see, however, as the contractor listed on the permit is Icarus Exhibits. This company has worked with Disney several times in the past to bring attractions and more to life, including TRON: Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom, set pieces in Toy Story Land, and even past elements of Galaxy’s Edge. We’re excited to see what these new permits might end up being for, and we will let you know as soon as we find out!

Believe it or not, it’s almost time to start planning for this year’s EPCOT Food & Wine Festival! While it may still feel like 2026 just started, the truth is we’re just months away from the kickoff of EPCOT’s premier annual event. Frozen Rose at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival Of course, flights and hotels can’t be booked until you know when you’re going, and currently, the 2026 dates haven’t been revealed yet. However, looking at years past, we can make some educated guesses as to when this year’s version of the EPCOT classic is going to kick off. For the last several years, the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival has begun sometime in the latter part of summer, stretched through the fall, and ended in the middle of November just before the Thanksgiving Holiday. For example, the previous half-decade of events has used the following dates: 2021: July 15th – November 20th 2022: July 14th – November 19th 2023: July 27th – November 18th 2024: August 29th – November 23rd 2025: August 28th – November 22nd Food and Wine Signs! Looking at those dates, in particular the 2024 and 2025 installments, each festival began on the final Thursday of August and ended on the weekend before Thanksgiving. If Disney follows the same pattern in 2026, this year’s festival would last from August 27 through November 21st. Further evidence pointing to these dates can be found in the scheduling of the 2026 Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic! This annual event, which is usually in conjunction with the final weekend of EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival — and features two days of gourmet cuisine from award-winning chefs, paired with fine wines, beers, and spirits from around the world, as well as live entertainment, seminars, and fireworks — is scheduled for November 20th and 21st, from 5 PM until 9 PM each day this year. The 2025 event So, those are our predicted dates. When will we know for sure? Once again, looking at past years, the festival’s dates have been announced between late-April and mid-May, which would seem to indicate that the 2026 dates should be released during that same period this year. 2025 Spread If you’re beginning to plan your 2026 Food & Wine Festival visit, we’d suggest blocking out time between August 27 and November 21st. We will let you know when the official dates are announced! Stay tuned to DFB for further updates on this year’s installment of the festival. 3 NEW Laws That Could Impact Your 2026 Disney World Trip Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

Disney World can be chaotic on any given day, for any number of reasons — but certain weekends garner more crowds than most. Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle runDisney race weekends happen to be some of those times, and it can make doing things around the parks and hotels a bit more daunting than usual. The Springtime Surprise race weekend is quickly approaching at Disney World, but don’t worry! If you’re heading to Disney World next weekend, there are still plenty of ways to have a good time and avoid those crowds. Ready, get set, GO! The 2026 runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend will take place from April 16th through the 20th, bringing runners and their families to Disney World. This year’s theme celebrates “the power of friendship with races centered around some dynamic Disney duos!” ©runDisney Here’s a look at the dates, times, and locations for each race: April 17th: Springtime Surprise 5K at 5 AM — Multiple parks April 18th: Springtime Surprise 10K at 5 AM — Multiple parks April 19th: Springtime Surprise 10-Miler at 5 AM — Hollywood Studios April 20th: Sunrise Yoga at 5 AM — Hollywood Studios ©runDisney If you’re planning to be at Disney World during any of these races, be prepared for additional crowds in the parks. While the races will be over before the parks open, runners and their families often spend the day celebrating their victories in the parks. You’ll likely also see an influx of people staying at Disney World hotels, due to the runners participating in the races. Crowds at EPCOT on a runDisney weekend Oftentimes, Disney will also close down certain roads around the property to allow for races, so if you’re driving, keep in mind that your normal route to the parks might be disrupted. Don’t worry, though, Disney will always provide an alternate route to get you to where you need to go! Detour at Disney World Our top tips for avoiding long lines without spending any extra money are to rope drop the parks (get there right when — or before — they open), get in line during meal times or during parades and fireworks, or wait until people start leaving for the night! Main Street, U.S.A. at rope drop You can also take advantage of things like Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours, depending on which Disney hotel you’re staying at. These offerings allow hotel guests to enjoy a little extra time in the parks before everyone else arrives. Early Entry And, you can always take advantage of Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Single Pass (and Premier Pass!) These are skip-the-line services that allow you to bypass the standby lines at popular Disney World rides. While it’s entirely possible to still have a great time at Disney World during a runDisney race weekend, we just want you to be as prepared as possible so you have the best trip! Monsters, Inc.

2026 is the year of construction at Disney World. Some popular rides are still undergoing reconstruction, big hotels are getting some updates, and that’s just scratching the surface. Wilderness Lodge in Disney World If you’re headed to Wilderness Lodge any time soon, you should also know that even transportation is changing for a limited time. If you’re a fan of those relaxing boat rides to and from the park, you need to read this! In case you missed it, the boat dock at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is going through some routine maintenance very soon. The maintenance on the dock will mean that there are no boat rides between the hotel and the Magic Kingdom during the updates, which can be a big bummer for those staying at the resort. Luckily, the closure won’t last too long! The boat dock at Wilderness Lodge. During the maintenance, boat transportation will be suspended from April 13th until May 1st. The maintenance to the dock will last until late July 2026, but boat transportation should be running again starting on May 2nd. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge The boat runs between Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, Magic Kingdom, Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, and Disney’s Contemporary Resort, so this might throw a wrench into your plans during your stay. You can still get to these spots thanks to Disney buses, so it’s not all bad news! Fort Wilderness bus Now those bus routes won’t be as straightforward as the boats typically are. You won’t be able to take a bus directly from Wilderness Lodge to the Contemporary resort, so if you want to check out the other hotel, you will need to take a bus to Magic Kingdom and then walk or take the monorail over to the Contemporary. Disney’s Contemporary Resort Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is home to several of our favorite dining spots, like Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White, Whispering Canyon Cafe, and Geyser Point Bar & Grill. Even if you’re not staying at the resort, we love to head over for the relaxing atmosphere, tasty bites, and more. For now, you’ll need to take the bus to check those things out! As always, be sure to keep following DFB for more Disney news, construction updates, and more.
