On April 29, the Star Wars experience at Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge will expand its timeline to include characters from the original trilogy. The initial announcement that Han, Luke, Leia, Darth Vader, and even Chewbacca would soon be walking through the park was met with excitement from many long-time fans. In theory, it should provide an opportunity for families to create memorable moments with some of cinema’s most iconic figures.
EPCOT’s newest premium upcharge has arrived, and once again, it’s not for the families who built the brand. Hot on the heels of the controversial announcement of the adults-only Spaceship Earth Lounge GEO-82, Walt Disney World has announced a new “Enchanting Extra”.
According to theme park news site Blog Mickey, the experience includes prime window seating for “Luminous: The Symphony of Us,” sommelier-selected bubbly, themed cocktails, and light fare. The cost? $179 per adult, plus tax and gratuity—and that’s excluding the park admission.
If you thought each virtual queue rollout was a disaster at Walt Disney World and Disneyland, it looks like Disney is ready to bring that frustration to the high seas as part of the Disney Cruise Line.
Guests aboard the Disney Wish were met with an unwelcome surprise during the ship’s April 21 voyage — the rollout of a virtual queue system for popular onboard experiences. Using the Disney Cruise Line’s Navigator app, passengers were encouraged to reserve times for character meet-and-greets and rides like the AquaMouse water coaster. Access to the app is complimentary even without a paid Wi-Fi package, but that doesn’t make the move any less controversial.
Tokyo Disneyland isn’t just preserving Splash Mountain — they’re elevating it.
As part of their annual Summer Cool-Off event, Tokyo Disney Resort has announced the return of a fan-favorite seasonal overlay: Splash Mountain Get Soaked MAX. But this year, the stakes — and the splash factor — are even higher.
As the grand opening of Universal Studios Orlando Resort’s Epic Universe approaches on May 22, 2025, anticipation is building for what promises to be a transformative addition to Central Florida’s tourism landscape. This marks the first major theme park opening in Florida since 1999, signaling a significant expansion in the region’s entertainment offerings. It now appears that Universal Studios will utterly transform the theme park industry in less than a month, and not just for Florida… but perhaps for the entire world.

The Minecraft Movie just made $80 million in its second weekend and the race to get it into theme parks is on. At the same time, companies are proverbially licking their chops at the idea of using game properties in expansions to take a bit out of Disney. But if The...
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,...
A fire broke out Friday morning at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, damaging multiple vehicles and temporarily halting operations at one of the resort’s major parking facilities.
According to officials, the blaze began just before 10 a.m. PT on the fifth floor of the Pixar Pals Parking Structure, a multi-level garage located on the northwest edge of the resort. The Anaheim Fire Department responded quickly to reports of a vehicle fire, but not before the flames had already begun spreading to adjacent cars.
The fallout from Mark Rober and his controversial video comparing the Tesla autopilot system to LiDAR technology continues to intensify. What initially appeared to be a lighthearted, data-driven experiment has unraveled into something far more concerning—a blend of misrepresentation, omitted relationships, and questionable testing practices that has left viewers and experts alike demanding answers.
The new Haunted Mansion gift shop—Madame Leota’s Somewhere Beyond—is making waves in the news, though, once again, not positively. Following a significant flooding incident that exposed serious design flaws, Disney has decided to redesign the store to ensure that it can better withstand future challenges and maintain its aesthetic alongside the main attraction.
A recent YouTube video from former NASA engineer and popular content creator Mark Rober has left many viewers questioning not only his methods, but also the true intent behind his latest experiment targeting Tesla’s autopilot technology. What started as an attempt to map Disneyland’s Space Mountain by sneaking a LiDAR camera into the park through security turned into something far more controversial, with critics calling out inconsistencies and misleading presentation in Rober’s subsequent Tesla tests.
