Disney World, you will never cease to amaze us! The theme park is over 54 years old, but she doesn’t look a day older than…maybe we shouldn’t say. It’s rude to discuss a lady’s age, after all.

The parks are busy expanding, demolishing, and constructing to make way for new attractions, entertainment, and more. That’s why we like to do a weekly round-up of the week’s biggest news so you can see what you might have missed! Let’s dive right into this week’s biggest updates!

There are so many changes happening at Disney World that each week brings something new! This week, Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom were keeping everyone running wild thanks to three big changes.

Zootopia: Better Zoogether Premiered!

The biggest news of all is that we got a sneak peek into Animal Kingdom’s newest attraction, Zootopia: Better Zoogther! The brand-new show takes us into the world of Zootopia, featuring Nick Wilde, Judy Hopps, and more characters from the popular film.

Inside the Tree of Life Theater, we get to join in on the Zoogether Day Celebrations with our 4D Carrot Vision glasses. They do look very similar to the Bug Eyes from It’s Tough to Be a Bug glasses.

The new show also features a new animatronic of Clawhauser from the film, which seriously impressed us.

The show officially opens on November 7th, and we can’t wait to watch this one over and over. If you want to read our full thoughts on the show, you can click right here.

AstroFizz Is OPEN in Tomorrowland!

Finally, this week Disney announced that a brand-new snack stand is open in Magic Kingdom! The new stand is called AstroFizz, and it’s replacing our beloved CoolShip.

The new stand has slushies, a Cherry-Cola-inspired churro, popcorn, sodas, and more. The new snack stand will also be open during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, which starts on the 7th.

The churros were a surprise hit at this new snack stand — if you need a quick and easy treat in Tomorrowland, go check it out!

We will forever miss CoolShip’s misters, though.
