✨ Tired of theme park chaos?

Today's Big News... Disney Fun Tired of theme park chaos? Aulani might be your answer. Not every Disney vacation has to involve a rope drop alarm, a Lightning Lane strategy session, and a step count that breaks your fitness tracker before lunch. Aulani, Disney's resort on the western coast of Oahu, exists in a different universe entirely — one where the biggest decision of your morning is which pool to settle into first. What makes Aulani different: Unlike Walt Disney World or Disneyland,...

Today's Big News... Disney Park Is Epic Universe already rewriting Disney's Villains Land? Epic Universe has been open for less than a year, and it may already be changing what Disney builds next. According to a new report, Imagineers are rethinking the tone of Villains Land at Magic Kingdom — and the shift is significant enough that fans who were picturing a dark, moody experience might want to update their mental image. What was on the table: Early rumors had Villains Land leaning hard into...

Today's Big News... Disney Fun Disney World's Free Dining is back—but is it still worth it? Free Dining is returning to Walt Disney World for 2026, covering arrivals on select nights from late June through late December. The catch: it's currently exclusive to Disney Visa cardholders, with a booking window that opens March 5 and closes March 11. One week. That's it. What the deal actually includes: Disney Visa cardholders who purchase a non-discounted four-night, four-day package with a Park...

Today's Big News... Disney Fun Disney execs have seen Doomsday. They're pleased. Avengers: Doomsday doesn't hit theaters until December, but Disney executives have already gotten a look at footage — and according to a new Variety report, they like what they see. That's the kind of early signal the MCU really needed right now. Why "pleased" is doing a lot of heavy lifting: To be fair, no studio executive is going to tell a reporter they're worried about their biggest film of the year. But the...

Today's Big News... Disney Fun Hollywood Studios' map changed overnight Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is gone. Hollywood Studios' map already shows it. The Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith permanently closed on March 2nd, and Hollywood Studios isn't wasting any time pretending otherwise. The park's official map — both the paper version guests pick up at the gate and the digital version inside the My Disney Experience app — has already been updated to reflect the closure, with a teaser for...

Today's Big News... Disney Fun Six Disney World hotel changes hit in March. Here's what to dodge. March at Disney World hotels is a lot: Spring Break crowds stacking up in lobbies, pool closures that could quietly wreck your "pool day, pool bar, repeat" fantasy, and construction noise that no one warned you about before you booked. The good news is that all of it is workable — if you know what's coming. The fun stuff first: The Grand Floridian's Garden View Tea Room returns on March 19, and...

Today's Big News... Disney Fun A Hallmark holiday movie just filmed inside Walt Disney World. Hallmark Channel has officially wrapped production on Holiday Ever After, a holiday film shot on location at Walt Disney World — and yes, that means actual park footage, actual magic, and what is almost certainly the coziest movie set in recent memory. What we know so far: Details from the production are still limited, but Laughing Place confirmed that filming is complete, making Holiday Ever After a...

Today's Big News... Disney Park Disney quietly killed the Mary Poppins ride. No announcement. No replacement. Disney quietly killed the Mary Poppins ride In August 2019, Disney brought Dick Van Dyke — 93 years old, the man who played Bert in the original 1964 film — onto the D23 Expo stage after a troupe of chimney sweep dancers performed "Step In Time," and announced a Mary Poppins-themed attraction for EPCOT's UK Pavilion. The crowd lost its mind. Then COVID hit. Then the money got tight....

Today's Big News... HOTELS & RESORTS That Keurig in your Disney hotel room? Someone may have washed underwear in it. There is a viral "hack" making the rounds on Reddit, Facebook groups, and travel forums, and it is exactly as bad as the headline suggests. Some travelers are allegedly using the in-room Keurig machines at Disney Resort hotels to wash their dirty underwear. The coffee maker. The one you were about to use for your late-night decaf. How this started: A Reddit post flagged a viral...
