How is it August already? :O I leave for my next Disney World trip in a mere 8 days, and it feels like too long since I’ve been back! I’m excited to check out Toy Story Land. If you’re headed down later this year, we’re starting to get a lot of news and info and the special events coming for the fall and winter (including full Food and Wine Festival menus!).

Disney Rumors
Restaurants // Artist Point seems to be getting some sort of refurb, but the rumors are rampant that this not so popular signature restaurant will be changed into a character dining location.
Magic Kingdom // Changes will definitely be coming to Tomorrowland when the new Tron coaster opens, but there are rumors for some other additions as well, including a permanent Incredibles narration to the PeopleMover, a Wreck-It Ralph VR racer replacing Stitch’s Great Escape, and a new scene for Carousel of Progress.
Epcot // The ever persistent rumor that Brazil will be added as a country in the World Showcase is back, this time because of an analysis on the amount of money being spent on construction in Epcot.
