Slowly but surely, things are changing. Vaccines are available across the country, people seem to be more comfortable with traveling again, and Disneyland Resort is about to reopen.
Are things returning to normal?
And, testing the “returning to normalcy” theory a little further, there’s been a MAJOR increase in Disney World travel Google searches in recent weeks.
Last month, we saw a rush of spring breakers descend upon Disney World, and that influx of travelers hasn’t slowed down, with park passes continuing to go FAST.

Apparently, searches for domestic flights are up a steep 60% in the last month alone, according to booking site Hopper. Of all those flight searches, it seems a LOT of them are craving Disney World, because Google searches for “plan a trip to Disney World” is up a whopping 2,600% between March and April.

Disney execs have been talking about “pent up demand,” and now we’re really starting to see the proof.
