Disney Parks Blog has just released new design plans and concept art for changes coming to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. While the alterations aren't as controversial as when The Polynesian lobby was reworked, online chatter has been somewhat mixed. Before...
Central Florida once had a rock-solid reputation as the top international destination for U.K. tourism. But that’s beginning to crack just as Universal’s ambitious new theme park project, Epic Universe, prepares to open its gates next month.
New data from VisitFlorida reveals that just 1.1 million tourists from the U.K. visited Florida in 2024, down 1% from the previous year and a steep 14.8% decline from pre-health crisis highs in 2019. That’s a troubling trend for the Sunshine State, especially considering that British travelers are the second-largest group of international visitors, trailing only Canada.
Walt Disney World has just unveiled a new summer hotel discount for Disney+ subscribers that feels less like a celebration and more like a signal flare on two fronts.
Starting June 29 through July 31, 2025, Disney+ subscribers can book rooms at select Disney Resorts for as low as $99 per night. But behind the magical marketing lies something more serious: Disney is scrambling to retain its grip on family vacations as Universal’s Epic Universe prepares to dominate the summer travel season.
A curious development is unfolding at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Despite Walt Disney World’s previous statement that construction walls would go up around the Muppets Courtyard before the end of March, no such progress has materialized as of early April. The project in question? A controversial new Monsters, Inc.-themed land that’s set to cause the closing of MuppetVision 3D, Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano, and PizzeRizzo.
While many feel that magic has been hard to come by in Walt Disney World in recent years, there are still a few precious magical moments to be found. One of those just happened at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, where the team welcomed a new baby giraffe named Tucker to Kilimanjaro Safaris.
Universal Studio's new Epic Universe theme park is indeed incredible. It eclipses, by far, anything Disney has to offer. But thoughts that Disney could begin building a response for the next five years may all be dashed away by the new Chinese tariffs. For Bob Iger,...
Something peculiar is happening at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort when it comes to Easter celebrations. For whatever reason, the company has decided to offer only a Thumper-themed popcorn bucket inside the parks as the sole culinary offering for the holiday. That’s bizarre if you’ve ever paid attention to the huge number of food items often associated with any day of note. Disney typically loves adding seasonal and holiday food items at the parks since they drive news articles, publicity, attendance and more. But for Easter in 2025, there’s just Thumper with an Easter Egg in the parks.
When Disney makes national headlines, it used to be for billion-dollar acquisitions or blockbuster box office numbers. But this time, the House of Mouse is under fire — not from competitors, not from politicians, but from every corner of its own fanbase. In a blistering piece for Forbes, journalist Caroline Reid lays out the full scope of Disney’s latest disaster: the planned demolition of the historic Rivers of America at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.
For the first time since 2019, Walt Disney World will operate all six of its parks simultaneously this summer—including both water parks, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. This move, effective from May 21 through September 7, 2025, is already being interpreted as a strategic countermove to Universal Orlando’s forthcoming mega-expansion: Epic Universe.
Walt Disney World's latest round of special discounts and promotions for Spring through Fall 2025 paints a clear picture: the House of Mouse is feeling pressure. Typically cautious with discounting strategies, Disney World’s announcement of a deeply discounted 3-Day,...
Walt Disney World is facing a disturbing lawsuit after the family of a 14-year-old girl alleges a cast member secretly filmed up her skirt during a visit to Hollywood Studios—and that Disney allowed the employee to remain on the job even after a prior, similar...
The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) is throwing financial support behind a proposed train line connecting Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Disney Springs. The initiative, dubbed the “Sunshine Corridor,” would partially replace the transportation void left when Disney canceled its free Magical Express bus service in 2022. But while the project aims to ease airport-to-resort access, glaring logistical challenges remain unresolved.
