Walt Disney World

EPCOT

Walt Disney World has announced the lineup for the 2024 Eat to the Beat Concert Series presented by Florida Blue, which takes place during the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.

Disney Springs

Two images showing hands holding orange-flavored ice cream treats against a waterfront background: One is a swirl cone topped with orange candy, the other is an ice cream sundae in a mason jar with an orange slice.

For Flavors of Florida this year, Swirls on the Water at Disney Springs has two new Orange Bird-inspired DOLE Whip treats: the Orange Bird Cone and the Orange Bird Float.
The limited edition July 2024 cookies at Gideon’s Bakehouse are the returning Orange Pecan Chocolate Chip and Lemon Poppy Crumb Cookie, a.k.a. Stuart and Bonnie’s cookies.
Disney Springs has a new limited-time scavenger hunt available during the annual Flavors of Florida celebration.

Walt Disney World Resort Hotels

A sign reading "Disney Vacation Club" stands in front of a wooden cabin surrounded by trees and greenery.

A new Florida law states that timeshare companies like Disney Vacation Club (DVC) can remove an owner based on their conduct, just like a hotel can remove a regular guest.

New Merchandise

A person holds a green-striped tumbler with a straw. To the right, there are decorative glass domes with figurines, and below them, a tote bag with intricate black and white illustrations.

With Halloween season just around the corner, Disney has announced that several new Haunted Mansion items are coming soon, including a Haunted Mansion Starbucks tumbler, new Dooney & Bourke bags, ornaments, and more.
Disney Ever After has opened with a new look and merchandise celebrating Donald Duck’s 90th anniversary and Stitch.
Walt Disney World has a new Toy Story Loungefly mini backpack featuring the franchise’s main characters.

Join us for a photo and video tour of a Fantasy Chateau entrance side superior alcove room at the new Fantasy Springs Hotel.

The Walt Disney Company

A small theater reminiscent of a bygone era shows significant ceiling damage and disrepair, with sections falling in, exposed wiring overhead, yet seating arrangements remain largely intact—almost like a forgotten set piece from a Walt Disney classic.

A nonprofit foundation is now raising money to save and restore the historic Uptown Theatre in Walt Disney’s hometown of Marceline, Missouri.

Universal Studios

A hand holds a blue, hexagonal "Chocolate Frog" box in one image, and the opened white chocolate frog in another image, both against an outdoor background.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort now has White Chocolate Frogs.
