Park Updates & Plot Twists: The Latest from Disney and Universal

Dive into the latest Disney and Universal updates as we explore the exciting changes coming to both resorts this summer and beyond!

Disney World is pulling out all the stops with both water parks operating simultaneously from late May through early September, plus the return of the popular H2O Glow night events at Typhoon Lagoon. We break down whether these water park experiences are worth your vacation time and discuss the upgraded amenities at Pop Century Resort, including their stylish new coffee bar that's elevating this value resort experience.

The Magic Kingdom's upcoming Starlight Nighttime Parade marks the first nighttime parade in 10 years, featuring breathtaking floats showcasing Moana, Encanto, Frozen and more. We also explore Hollywood Studios' two new shows premiering May 24th and the exciting enhancements coming to Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, including upgraded blasters with real-time scoring systems that promise to revolutionize this classic attraction.

Disneyland fans have plenty to look forward to with Disney Junior Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live debuting in May, Rex from Toy Story joining Pixar Pier in June, and several new interactive experiences like Stitch's Interplanetary Beach Party Blast. We cover it all, including the upcoming Star Wars Nite special events.

The real showstopper, however, is the continued reveals from Epic Universe. We share our excitement about the impressive craftsmanship in the Wizarding World's Ministry of Magic, the immersive How to Train Your Dragon experiences, and the Dark More monster transformation opportunity. With Universal now selling Express Passes specifically for Epic Universe attractions, we discuss which options might be worth the splurge for this highly-anticipated new park.
