Fantasy Land News covers Walt Disney World around the clock — from breaking news on ride closures and refurbishments to the latest on park events, new attractions, resort updates, dining changes, and merchandise releases. We cover all four theme parks, Disney Springs, Disney Resorts, and everything happening across the property.

What is happening right now: Cool Kids' Summer 2026 runs May 26 through September 8, with Bluey's Wild World at Animal Kingdom, Soarin' Across America at EPCOT, and a new Mickey Mouse stage show at Hollywood Studios all opening on the same day. Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin reopens April 8 with major upgrades. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad returns in early May after a full refurbishment.
