Creator's Key Takeaways

The Carousel of Progress is officially closed at Disney World. Disney hasn't announced an official reopening date, but has said to expect a reopening in 2027.

The vanilla and strawberry cake layers are light and fluffy, and the buttercream has a hint of cotton candy flavor without being overpoweringly sweet.

The coconut raspberry cake for $6.49 was unfortunately a miss. The cake was dry, the frosting had a bitter flavor, and the raspberry filling only made it taste even more sour.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Hydrate by bringing a refillable water bottle and getting free ice water at beverage fountains.
Wear sunscreen due to intense UV indexes.
For the best view of the Celestial Good Night show at Epic Universe, arrive 15-30 minutes early at the lagoon.
Use the to-go area at Oga's Cantina to avoid long wait times for drinks.
