Test Track A Test Track car struck the wall of breakaway foam doors during Cast Member previews on June 30, 2025, and the effect stayed switched off for 13 months. WDW News Today rode the EPCOT attraction on July 30 and found the doors operating again, opening much earlier in the acceleration sequence than they used to.
Rose & Crown Dining Room Disney added a Shiki-Sai Fireworks Dining Package at EPCOT's Japan Pavilion on Wednesday, with reservations listed as opening August 27. Ages 10 and up pay $120 before tax and gratuity, or $149.50 all in, and ages 3 to 9 pay $60, or $74.70. AllEars reported the details went up on the Disney World site that morning and were later taken down, and the package page now returns a 404.
Der Teddybär The plush and toy shop in EPCOT’s Germany Pavilion is selling merchandise again for the first time since 2020. Disney did not announce it, the shelves hold Steiff plush and German candy, and nobody has said whether it is here to stay.
Aloha Isle Dole Whip has escaped Adventureland. The cult pineapple soft-serve now turns up in every Walt Disney World theme park, both water parks, Disney Springs, and nine more stops across five resort hotels, in flavors from orange and watermelon to lime, plus rum floats and frozen margaritas. Here is where to find every version.
Pirates of the Caribbean Two of Walt Disney World's toughest reservations, the Pirates-themed Beak and Barrel at Magic Kingdom and GEO-82 inside Spaceship Earth at EPCOT, are getting a walk-up list option in the My Disney Experience app. The Join Walk-Up List button has appeared on both lounges, though it is not fully live yet, with activation expected within days.
Spaceship Earth For the country's 250th birthday, EPCOT's rare Heartbeat of Freedom fireworks finale is running three nights instead of one (July 3 through 5), Magic Kingdom brings back its Celebrate America concert in the sky, and a U.S. Air Force Reserve flyover buzzes both parks on the Fourth. Here is the full holiday rundown.
