Creator's Key Takeaways

So many things are opening and reopening and closing and just overall changing in Disney World in 2026.

We're in the parks every day. You know, we try all the new food. We go to every single restaurant multiple times a year. We are the experts.

The new Zootopia Better Z show opened in Animal Kingdom. Now, this show is super cute, and the team tends to prefer it to the It's Tough to Be a Bug show.

Finally, after 6 years, we are getting Grand Fian's tea room back. I know. Let's take a little moment for some golf claps.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book your Disney World trip soon to experience Aerosmith's version of Rock and Roller Coaster before it closes on March 1st, 2026.

✓Check park hours on Disney's 5-day calendar before your visit to avoid surprises from early closures.

✓Mobile order food 30 minutes before you plan to eat to have more control over pickup times.

✓Pack a rechargeable fan and a hairbrush in your park bag for convenience and comfort.
