In celebration of Women’s History Month this March, Disneyland Resort is debuting the all-new “Women Who Make the Magic” guided tour. While we first shared whispers of this experience last week, we now have the full scoop on everything this inspiring journey entails, from the legendary trailblazers it honors to the exclusive perks included!
During this immersive 90-minute journey, guests will explore the park while uncovering the stories of the legendary women who shaped the Disney legacy, including icons like Alice Davis, Mary Blair, and Leota Toombs. The experience is packed with exclusive perks, including a specialty treat, a unique photo opportunity with a rare piece of Disney history, and a guided ride on a classic attraction. To top off the evening, the tour includes a reserved viewing area for the spectacular Wondrous Journeys fireworks show.
The tour is priced at $110 per person (plus tax). While guests can currently visit the Tour Garden in Disneyland Park for more information, official bookings don’t open until February 25, 2026. The experience officially launches on March 6, 2026, with four tour slots available daily.
SeaWorld Orlando Unveils Final Artist Lineup Seven Seas Food Festival
SeaWorld Orlando is turning up the volume on its 2026 Seven Seas Food Festival, officially announcing the final five headliners to complete what is being called the park’s most ambitious concert series to date.
The latest additions to the star-studded roster include Latin sensation Elvis Crespo, pop heartthrob Jesse McCartney, hard rock legends Great White & Slaughter, Southern rock icons Molly Hatchet, and contemporary folk-worship group Rend Collective. These artists join an already massive lineup that spans six decades of music and a wide array of genres, from hip-hop and country to classic rock and Latin pop.
The festival has already seen a high-energy start at Bayside Stadium. Opening weekends drew massive crowds for global superstar Flo Rida, while high-octane sets from Saliva and Bow Wow have kept the stadium buzzing.
With over 30 headlining performances scheduled through May 17, the Seven Seas Food Festival continues to be one of Central Florida’s premier entertainment values, as every concert is included with park admission.

Wait, are we actually excited about dish sponges? Yes, yes we are. If you’ve ever wanted to turn your kitchen sink into a scene from Pixar, you’re in luck. Scrub Daddy has dropped a Toy Story collection, and it’s honestly the most fun you can have for $4.99 at Target.
First up is the Buzz Lightyear Scrub Mommy. This isn’t just a gimmick; it’s basically Space Ranger tech for your dishes. Because it’s a Scrub Mommy, you get that classic dual-sided action. One side is the FlexTexture material, it’s firm in cold water for when you’re battling galactic levels of burnt-on grease, but softens up in warm water for the easy stuff. Flip Buzz over, and you’ve got ResoFoam, which is ridiculously absorbent. A tiny drop of soap goes a long way, creating enough suds to cover a small planet (or at least a very large lasagna pan). Plus, his ergonomic shape isn’t just for show, it actually makes it way easier to grip when you’re scrubbing the uncharted regions of your deep pots.
If you’re more of a fan of the Pizza Planet aesthetic, the Little Green Man Alien Sponge is an absolute Oooooooh! moment. Just like Buzz, this Alien is a dual-threat cleaner. The scrubbing side is scratch-free, so you don’t have to worry about ruining your favorite non-stick pans while you’re hunting for grime. The ResoFoam side stays soft and sudsy, making it perfect for wiping down counters or delicate glassware. The best part? These guys are built to last. They resist odors and mold, meaning your sink won’t smell like a locker room after a few uses. They rinse clean easily and dry fast, so they’re always ready for their next mission.
At five bucks a piece, these make hilarious (and actually useful) housewarming gifts or stocking stuffers for the Disney adult in your life.
Disney and Pixar Unveil New “Toy Story 5” Trailer and Poster
The toy box is officially reopening. Disney and Pixar have debuted a brand-new trailer and poster for the highly anticipated animated adventure “Toy Story 5,” giving fans their clearest look yet at the next chapter for Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang.
Set to hit theaters on June 19, 2026, the film marks a monumental shift for the franchise as it tackles the greatest threat to traditional playtime yet: the digital age.
The new trailer introduces a formidable new “roommate” for Bonnie’s toys: Lilypad, a sleek tablet device voiced by Greta Lee. Lilypad arrives with disruptive ideas about what is best for Bonnie, challenging the very definition of a “toy’s job.”
As Bonnie becomes increasingly captivated by the screen, the classic toys find themselves fighting for relevance. The footage also teases the emotional reunion of Woody and Buzz Lightyear. Following Woody’s 2019 decision to become a “lost toy” and help others find homes, the two icons must put their differences aside to navigate a world where apps might be more popular than action figures.
Pixar has assembled a massive ensemble cast for this fifth installment, blending legendary voices with fresh talent:
The Newcomers
Greta Lee as Lilypad (The tablet device)
Craig Robinson as Atlas (A cheerful talking GPS hippo)
Shelby Rabara as Snappy (An excitable camera toy)
Matty Matheson as Dr. Nutcase (A tech-fearing toy)
Conan O’Brien as Smarty Pants
Scarlett Spears as the 8-year-old Bonnie
Mykal-Michelle Harris as Blaze (An animal-loving 8-year-old girl)
The Returning Legends
The core cast remains the heart of the story, with Tom Hanks (Woody), Tim Allen (Buzz Lightyear), Joan Cusack (Jessie), Annie Potts (Bo Peep), and Tony Hale (Forky) all reprising their roles.
Fans will also be thrilled to hear the return of:
John Ratzenberger (Hamm)
Wallace Shawn (Rex)
Blake Clark (Slinky Dog)
Jeff Bergman & Anna Vocino (Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head)
Keanu Reeves (Duke Caboom)
Kristen Schaal (Trixie)
An Award-Winning Creative Team
“Toy Story 5” is in expert hands. The film is directed by Academy Award® winner Andrew Stanton (WALL•E, Finding Nemo), with Kenna Harris (Ciao Alberto) serving as co-director. Producing the film is Lindsey Collins (Turning Red).
Perhaps most exciting for long-time fans is the return of Randy Newman. The Academy Award® winning composer is back to score his fifth “Toy Story” feature, ensuring the film carries the signature musical heart that has defined the series since 1995.
“Toy Story 5” releases exclusively in theaters nationwide on June 19, 2026.

Universal Orlando Resort is officially leaning into its new status as a weeklong vacation destination. The resort has introduced an all-new multi-day ticket product designed for U.S. residents, offering six or seven days of park-to-park access to all four of its theme parks.
For a limited time, guests can secure these extended tickets at a special rate—essentially getting a full week of theme park access for the price of a standard five-day ticket.
The new ticket allows guests to hop between all four of Universal’s world-class parks throughout the week:
Universal Studios Florida
Universal Islands of Adventure
Universal Volcano Bay (Water Theme Park)
Universal Epic Universe (The all-new, award-winning fourth park)
This expansion provides ample time to explore over 75 immersive rides and attractions, as well as the dining and entertainment hub at Universal CityWalk.
Maximize Savings with a $300 Dining Credit
To complement the new ticket, Universal has launched a high-value hotel offer. Guests who book a stay of five nights or longer at select Universal Orlando hotels will receive a $300 hotel dining credit.
Participating Hotels Include:
Universal Stella Nova Resort
Universal Terra Luna Resort
Universal Cabana Bay Beach Resort
Universal Aventura Hotel
By pairing the “7 days for the price of 5” ticket with the dining credit, families can significantly lower the overall cost of a comprehensive weeklong Orlando vacation while staying just minutes from the parks.
The Evolution of a Destination
The introduction of these six- and seven-day products marks a strategic shift for Universal Orlando. With the opening of Epic Universe, the resort now offers enough content to rival a full-week itinerary, moving away from its historical reputation as a shorter two- or three-day add-on to Florida trips.

Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar Refurbishment Delayed to March
The upcoming interior refurbishment for the fan-favorite Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar at the Disneyland Hotel has been delayed. Initially scheduled to begin on February 17, the indoor closure has now been moved to March 2, 2026.
The indoor portion of the bar is expected to remain closed throughout the spring. Disney currently aims to have the location back in operation in time for the bar’s 15th anniversary on May 25, 2026.
While the interior undergoes work, guests can still enjoy the tropical atmosphere nearby:
Outdoor Dining: The outdoor patio at Trader Sam’s will remain open for guests.
Tangaroa Terrace Tropical Bar & Grill: This adjacent location will continue normal operations during the construction period.
What’s Changing?
Permits filed for the project suggest that the refurbishment will focus on both aesthetic and technical upgrades. Planned improvements include:
New Gas Tiki Torches: Updated lighting elements for the interior.
Enhanced Special Effects: Refreshed show and lighting effects to bolster the bar’s immersive storytelling.
General Technical Maintenance: Standard updates to ensure the longevity of the popular venue.
This two-week delay gives guests a final opportunity to visit the indoor space before it goes behind construction walls for its spring refresh.
A Fresh Taste of Spring: First Look at the 2026 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival Menus
Spring is just around the corner, and EPCOT is preparing to bloom with the 2026 International Flower & Garden Festival. Running from March 4 through June 1, this year’s event promises a vibrant mix of new flavors and beloved classics across its many Outdoor Kitchens.
Disney recently teased a sneak peek of the upcoming menu, filmed right inside the greenhouse at Living with the Land. Host Noah even treated fans to some retro nostalgia, singing the original “Listen to the Land” theme and referencing the iconic “Veggie, Veggie, Fruit, Fruit” from Kitchen Kabaret.
Here is your first look at the garden-fresh bites and sips arriving this year.
A brand-new Outdoor Kitchen, Nectar (Hosted by AdventHealth), joins the lineup for 2026. While the full menu is still under wraps, Disney revealed a standout dessert:
Coconut Panna Cotta: Featuring cherry gelée and matcha crumb, topped with a citrus cookie, plant-based meringue, and colorful flower confetti.
Several existing booths are introducing fresh items to keep the festival feeling new:
La Isla Fresca: Dive into the Shrimp Ceviche with mango, avocado, and jalapeño, or satisfy your sweet tooth with the Coconut-Chocolate Flan Bizcocho—a chocolate cake topped with coconut custard and passion fruit caramel.
Beach Grub: Last year’s newcomer is expanding its menu with a refreshing Strawberry-Basil Lemonade and the Orange Cream Bar, featuring vanilla-bean mousse covered in a chocolate shell.
Trowel & Trellis: Get ready for the Miso Cola-Glazed Sticky Pork Ribs, topped with spicy pickled peppers and peanuts for a perfect savory-sweet kick.
Returning “Best of the Fest” Favorites
Many fan-favorites are making their triumphant return to the promenade:
Florida Fresh: The Blackened Fish Slider with fried green tomato and Cajun rémoulade is back.
The Honey Bee-stro: The legendary Chicken and Waffles (crispy chicken on a honey-bacon cornbread waffle) returns to delight guests.
Yacht Grub: The Trio of Dips and Chips returns, along with a Lemon Tart (relocated from The Citrus Blossom) and the newly renamed Limoncello-Basil Sparkling Cocktail.
BRUNCHCOT: The Instagram-famous Avocado Toast with marinated tomatoes and Boursin Dairy-Free Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese is officially back on the ciabatta.
Sips and Spirits
From floral-infused gins to sparkling wines, the 2026 beverage lineup is looking bright:
EPCOT Farmers Feast: The Hibiscus Lemonade Cocktail made with Islamorada Hibiscus Gin.
Yacht Grub: The Limoncello-Basil Sparkling Cocktail, a refreshing blend of sparkling wine and limoncello.
The Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival kicks off March 4, 2026.

Air Force Veteran Leads Stunning Norway Pavilion Refresh at EPCOT
If you have strolled through the Norway Pavilion at EPCOT lately and thought, “Wow, this place feels timeless,” you can thank a little Disney magic and a whole lot of leadership. An Air Force veteran is helping guide a major refresh of the pavilion, ensuring every cobblestone, waterfall rock, and weathered beam still whispers authentic Norwegian charm.
Rosa, an Associate Project Manager with Facility Asset Management, is leading the effort to enhance the Norway Pavilion’s immersive details. Before bringing her talents to Walt Disney World, she served 24 years in the United States Air Force. Now, through Disney’s Heroes Work Here initiative, she is channeling that same dedication into keeping World Showcase looking storybook perfect. Rosa and her team worked with artisans using more than 200 colors and stains to achieve the layered, aged finishes that make Norway feel like it has stood for generations. From subtle rust drips to refreshed rockwork around the waterfall, every detail matters.
Guests will also notice a brand new beverage kiosk inspired by traditional Norwegian stabbur cabins. Designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, the kiosk blends seamlessly into the pavilion’s journey from bustling Oslo architecture to Bergen influences and up toward the Setesdal mountain hamlets near the Stave Church. It is not just a snack stop, it is a scenic detour straight into the Norwegian countryside.
And the refresh does not stop at the streets. Over at Frozen Ever After, guests will spot enhanced Audio Animatronics of their favorite characters, giving Anna, Elsa, and friends an extra sparkle on their voyage through Arendelle. It is a subtle update that adds even more life to one of EPCOT’s most beloved attractions.
Nearly 350 cast members work in Facility Asset Management across Walt Disney World, and stories like Rosa’s highlight the heart behind the upkeep. From military service to Disney service, she is helping preserve the magic so families can feel transported the moment they cross into Norway.
Portraits of Courage Extended at EPCOT Through Fourth of July 2026
An inspiring tribute is sticking around at EPCOT. Portraits of Courage: A Commander in Chief’s Tribute to America’s Warriors has officially been extended through the Fourth of July weekend in 2026 at the American Adventure Pavilion, giving guests even more time to experience this powerful collection inside American Adventure Pavilion.
The exhibit features more than 60 vibrant oil portraits painted by former U.S. President George W. Bush, honoring post 9/11 veterans and service members. Each portrait tells a story of courage, sacrifice, resilience, and continued service beyond the battlefield. The extension aligns with Disney’s celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, allowing guests visiting Walt Disney World during the patriotic holiday season to reflect on the men and women who have served our country.
Since debuting at EPCOT in June 2024, the exhibit has welcomed guests from around the world. One of the veterans featured, U.S. Army Sgt. Matthew S. Ayers, recently visited the exhibit with his family, giving his daughter the chance to see her father’s portrait in person for the first time. Stories like his add a deeply personal layer to the gallery, transforming it from a collection of paintings into a living tribute.
The experience also connects guests to helpful resources for veterans and military families, including Check-In, a tool that links post 9/11 veterans and service members with no cost mental and brain health care. In addition, a special titled Our America: Portraits of Courage dives deeper into several of the veterans’ stories and is available on ABC News Live, Localish Networks, and Hulu.
With its blend of artistry, history, and heartfelt storytelling, Portraits of Courage continues to offer a meaningful pause amid the thrills of the parks. If you are planning a visit to EPCOT this spring or summer, consider carving out time for this moving tribute inside the American Adventure.
New Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Construction Permit Revealed Ahead of Closure
Things are getting structurally sound and musically unsound in the best way possible over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. A brand new Notice of Commencement has been filed for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, and this one brings in Coastal Steel Inc. for general construction work. If that name rings a bell, it should. Coastal Steel has a long history with Walt Disney World, especially when it comes to roller coaster infrastructure, structural steel, and ride support systems. In other words, when steel shows up on a permit, it is not just hanging around for vibes.
This latest filing lands just ahead of the attraction’s March 2, 2026 closure, with March 1 set as the final day to rock out with Aerosmith. When it reopens in summer 2026, the headliners will be swapping scarves for fur as the ride transforms into Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets.
Previous permits have already covered electrical updates, signage, and set elements, but this steel-focused permit has fans buzzing about whether any track or structural modifications could be part of the makeover.
While Disney has not announced any major layout changes, Coastal Steel’s involvement suggests work tied to ride infrastructure or themed elements surrounding the track. Given the tight turnaround to a summer reopening, a full retrack seems unlikely, but enhancements to support new show scenes, lighting rigs, or set pieces for the Electric Mayhem’s high-speed Hollywood dash feel very on brand. Expect updated visuals, new scenes, and a fresh soundtrack performed by Dr. Teeth and the gang as you blast off toward their concert in true backstage chaos fashion.
With preshow changes already underway and multiple permits stacking up, this Muppets transformation is clearly shifting into high gear.
