It's a red, white, and blue week at the parks! Sam and Greg are back for the July 9, 2025, episode of This Week at Walt Disney World with fireworks, construction walls, holiday announcements, and a farewell to two Magic Kingdom classics. https://youtu.be/YZEvNV0IKVw July 2025 Disney World Closures: Liberty Belle & Tom Sawyer Island Two longtime staples of Magic Kingdom have officially taken their final voyages. The Liberty Belle Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island are now closed to make way for Walt Disney World's newest expansion: Piston Peak and Villains Land. Construction walls have gone up across Frontierland, and if you're riding the monorail, keep your eyes open—early staging work has already begun and is visible. Thanks to @bioreconstruct, we even have aerial images that show the impressive scale of what's coming next. As these classic experiences fade into the past, guests have been spotting a few mysterious new doors around the construction zone. Are they functional? Themed? Or just a bit of Disney magic teasing what's to come? Time will tell. Fourth of July in the Parks No better time to be at Walt Disney World than Independence Day weekend, and Sam and Greg celebrated in true patriotic fashion. https://youtu.be/MPBbbC3hUTM July 2025 Disney World Holiday Season Preview Walt Disney World has released full details for the upcoming 2025 holiday season. Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party returns to Magic Kingdom with festive overlays and new entertainment. EPCOT's Festival of the Holidays is also back, bringing seasonal flavors and the Candlelight Processional to World Showcase from November 28 to December 30, 2025. And at Hollywood Studios, Disney Jollywood Nights continues its new holiday tradition with glitz, glam, and retro-inspired fun. Ticket sale dates and event specifics were announced, providing planners with ample time to prepare for the season. Haunted Mansion Merch & Small World Update at Disney World New Haunted Mansion merchandise has materialized across the parks, with spooky styles perfect for any foolish mortal. These items are arriving just in time to celebrate Halloween-in-July vibes, offering apparel, accessories, and collectibles inspired by everyone's favorite ghostly retreat.   And starting July 17, 2025, It's a Small World will debut its emotional final verse. Originally penned by the late Richard Sherman as his last gift to Disney, the verse will premiere as part of Disneyland's 70th celebration and will also be added to the Walt Disney World version of the attraction. Railroad Shuttle & Monsters Inc. Land Construction at Disney World A new phrase is circulating—literally. Guests have begun to notice a "shuttle" operating on the Walt Disney World Railroad. This temporary change allows continued access while construction expands around the train's path, particularly as work intensifies in Frontierland. Over at Hollywood Studios, the staging work for the long-rumored Monsters Inc. Land is moving fast—and it's massive. Cranes and steel are already visible behind the current Pixar Place area, giving us a peek at what might be the next big immersive land. And Don't Forget… The new gold medallions at the Transportation and Ticket Center have caught our eye, adding another small touch of Disney detail. And speaking of touches, the Muppets 70th celebration continues—with even more collectible magnets now available across the parks. It's been a huge week, and we're just getting started.

Summer's heating up—and so is Epcot!

Looking for honest Disney dining advice? We're cutting through the magic to tell you what La Cantina de San Angel in Epcot's Mexico Pavilion is really like. After battling World Showcase crowds for a table (while a medical emergency unfolded nearby), we put this quick-service spot to the test.Our dining adventure quickly turned complicated when promised customizations created confusion among staff. Despite assurances that modifications were no problem, our simple requests resulted in deconstructed meals – cheese served in cups rather than on tacos, and chicken delivered separately from nachos. The $15.75 Aros bowl with breaded shrimp offered generous portions but questionable value, while the $16.50 Tacos de Barbacoa disappointed with dry meat that couldn't compete with Chipotle's juicier version. Nolan's $15.50 nachos earned the tepid review of being "just all right" – hardly the enthusiastic endorsement you want when spending Disney prices.The verdict? Skip La Cantina and opt for either San Angel Inn (the sit-down restaurant inside the Mexico Pavilion) or head to Connections Eatery for better quick-service value. We're already eyeing China Pavilion for our next Epcot dining adventure. Whether you're planning your first Disney vacation or your fiftieth, our candid reviews help you maximize both dining credits and out-of-pocket spending. Have you tried La Cantina? We'd love to hear if your experience matched ours or if we caught them on an off day!Send us a textSupport the show

This week marks the official launch of Cool Kids Summer and the debut of two new live shows. From character encounters to surprise merchandise drops, it's a week filled with action across all four parks. Hollywood Studios Headlines Walt Disney World May 28 Hollywood Studios leads the excitement with two new theatrical experiences. The Little Mermaid: A Musical Adventure introduces fresh staging, modern visuals, and a new musical arrangement. Ariel's world feels more alive than ever on stage. Also debuting is Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After, a bold and stylish stage show that places iconic villains in the spotlight. Hosted by the Magic Mirror, it transforms Sunset Showcase into something truly unexpected. Animation Courtyard Adds Character This week, Animation Courtyard has become a hub of activity. Dozens of characters now appear throughout the day, creating constant moments of surprise. The In Character store has returned with a new layout and updated costume selections. And Disney Jr. Let's Play offers young guests a twist on Epcot's World Showcase masks, encouraging creativity and play. Cool Kids Summer Launches Across the Resort Cool Kids Summer 2025 officially stretches across all Walt Disney World parks. At Magic Kingdom, the Big Top Bash transforms Fantasyland with circus-style décor and live entertainment. At Epcot, Goofycore Hall opens with a playful, art-themed vibe that celebrates creativity. New Ellio merchandise has appeared at Magic Kingdom, while Greg uncovered a set of themed popcorn buckets heading to select theaters. These limited collectibles are already in high demand. What's New in Tomorrowland? Something's happening in Tomorrowland. Astro Orbiter and Cool Ship are showing visual changes, sparking questions among guests. While Disney hasn't confirmed an update, Sam and Greg dive into the details and share their thoughts. Lilo & Stitch Breaks Records at the Box Office Disney's latest live-action film, Lilo & Stitch, shattered expectations over Memorial Day weekend. The film opened with $145.5 million domestic and $341.7 million worldwide. It's now one of the biggest Disney live-action debuts ever. Sam and Greg explore what this means for future remakes, especially after Snow White struggled to find its footing.

The countdown is on—just four days until our family's epic Walt Disney World adventure begins! After months of anticipation, we're pulling back the curtain on our meticulously crafted vacation strategy that balances maximum fun with minimal stress.Our journey starts with a strategic overnight in Atlanta before heading to Blizzard Beach on arrival day. We're excited to experience both Disney water parks across different trips, having conquered Typhoon Lagoon last year. This time, we're staying at Coronado Springs' Grand Destino Tower, where we'll celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary at Three Bridges Bar & Grill overlooking the resort's beautiful lake.One major change this trip? We're abandoning our traditional rope-drop routine! After years of early morning park rushes, we're embracing a more relaxed approach with Disney's new multi-pass system. At over $700 for our family, it's a significant investment we'll be evaluating throughout our stay. Is the convenience worth the premium price? We'll be reporting back!Each park day has been thoughtfully planned: Epcot with extended World Showcase exploration (where our boys have finally developed an appreciation for international experiences), Hollywood Studios with substantial time in Galaxy's Edge and catching the new Little Mermaid show, Animal Kingdom's safari adventures, and a perfectly-paced Magic Kingdom finale. We've incorporated strategic rest days, including pool time and a split day where half of us will venture to Universal while the others enjoy a character breakfast and resort exploration.The Disney Dining Plan adds another dimension to our experience. Is it truly the value proposition Disney promises? We'll be conducting live dining reviews throughout our trip at spots like Connections Eatery, La Cantina de San Angel, and Flame Tree Barbecue to find out! After our park adventures, we're capping the vacation with four blissful days at Disney's Vero Beach Resort—the perfect blend of Disney magic and coastal relaxation.Whether you're planning your own Disney getaway or simply enjoy vicarious vacation thrills, join us as we navigate the parks with insider knowledge gained from multiple trips.

Send us a textTwo 19-year-old college students bring fresh perspectives to Walt Disney World as they detail their adventures visiting all four Disney parks during their academic year in Florida. Eli and Addi, longtime Disneyland visitors, offer candid comparisons between the California and Florida parks that both seasoned Disney veterans and newcomers will find enlightening.Animal Kingdom emerges as their surprise favorite, with both guests marveling at how completely transported they felt among its immersive landscapes. "I'll never forget seeing the floating mountains of Pandora for the first time," Addi shares, while Eli declares the Kilimanjaro Safari something he "could ride five times in a day." Their Thanksgiving day visit to Magic Kingdom serves as a cautionary tale of holiday crowds so intense that portions of the park were temporarily closed to additional guests.The episode delivers practical insights for Disney World planning – from which parks might disappoint (Epcot ranked lowest despite housing their favorite ride, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind) to why the Skyliner is the superior transportation option. They don't hold back on critiques, noting Hollywood Studios' inconsistent theming and Epcot's untapped potential, while offering thoughtful suggestions like adding a single attraction to each World Showcase country.Whether you're debating which Disney coast offers the better experience or planning your first Walt Disney World vacation, this conversation provides the authentic perspective of young adults experiencing the parks with both fresh eyes and deep Disney knowledge. Their enthusiasm for the Disney Parks experience proves that magic transcends age – even when navigating the challenges of being broke college students at the most magical (and expensive) place on earth.Here's who we are and what is in store for you

Send us a textHave you ever watched someone experience Disney World for the first time? There's something magical about witnessing that transformation from skepticism to wonder. On our latest adventure to Florida, that's exactly what happened when Kristie, previously Disney-indifferent, fell head over heels for Animal Kingdom.Our journey began with a coastal Florida road trip before diving into an action-packed two-day Disney experience. We strategically planned our park days, starting with Animal Kingdom where our rope drop strategy paid off magnificently. While crowds rushed to Flight of Passage, we conquered both Expedition Everest and Dinosaur before the park even opened to regular guests! This early start, combined with strategic Lightning Lane usage, allowed us to experience everything Animal Kingdom offers—from the breathtaking Festival of the Lion King show to the immersive animal trails where Christy spent so much time watching the gorillas we almost missed our next reservation.Food became an unexpected highlight, especially at Satu'li Canteen where we discovered incredible non-meat options during our Lent Friday visit. The Chili Garlic Shrimp Bowl with sweet potato hash and surprising boba pearls created a flavor combination that was absolutely outstanding and has become a must-try recommendation.Day two took us to Epcot during the bustling Flower and Garden Festival. Despite initial hesitation, rope dropping Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind proved to be the perfect decision. The 40-minute wait was more than worth it for what might be Disney's most thrilling and immersive new attraction. Living with the Land emerged as a surprising group favorite, while World Showcase provided essential food experiences like School Bread from Norway and fish and chips from the UK that were so good they've become a personal go-to.Perhaps most valuable was our resort hopping experience, which gave us a broader appreciation for Disney's diverse accommodations. From the elegant Grand Floridian to the rustic charm of Port Orleans Riverside, these explorations helped shape future stay preferences while creating additional magical moments outside the parks.Whether you're planning your first Disney trip or your fiftieth, we hope our experiences offer some helpful insights and inspiration. Have you witnessed someone's first Disney transformation? We'd love to hear your stories in the comments!Here's who we are and what is in store for you
