food IS a theme park
STOP what you’re doing — if you’re flying to Disney World in February of 2023, we’ve got the information you need right here.
Where Will You Fly Next?
Each month we’ve been watching the changes in flight costs — seeing whether your trip to Disney World might be more or less expensive than you might expect. Now, we’re diving into the costs for February flights to the Most Magical Place on Earth to see just how flight costs are changing.
Whether you’ve been traveling, watching the news, or even looking at friends’ stories on social media, you’ve likely seen countless accounts about the Southwest Airlines flight cancelations.
Southwest
From canceling a staggering 67% of flights in one day, to continued cancelations and ultimately an apology from the airline’s CEO, Southwest has dealt with tremendous issues over the last few days. But things could finally be getting better.
A Disney Springs store is CLOSING, and it’s closing soon!
Disney Springs
Disney Springs has seen a lot of changes over the years — from the transformation of Downtown Disney to Disney Springs, the announcement of new restaurants, and the arrival of new stores. And soon it looks like more changes will be taking place in this shopping and dining district.
There are a truly ridiculous amount of restaurants and snack spots in Disney World.
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
How do you even know where to begin? And if you’ve got dietary restrictions, the already overwhelming prospect of picking a Disney World restaurant to eat at can become even more stressful. So, take a seat, put up your feet, and allow us to do the work for you.
If you’re planning to visit Disneyland or Disney World soon, there’s a big issue you need to be aware of.
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
Skipping the lines for the most popular rides in the parks is possible, and one of the main ways to do that is through Genie+ — the paid FastPass replacement. The standard Genie+ service (which starts at $25 per ticket per day in Disneyland) can help you get on rides like Indiana Jones Adventure, Space Mountain, Incredicoaster, Toy Story Midway Mania!, and more with shorter waits. But if you don’t buy the service early in the day, you might not get the chance to!
Want to spend time in Disney’s Hollywood Studios WITHOUT massive crowds? Want to hop on rides like Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance without huge waits and eat all the popcorn your heart desires? Then we have an event for you.
Hollywood Studios
After a bit of a hiatus, Disney After Hours events are coming BACK to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2023! But just what is included if you shell out the extra cash to get a ticket to one of these events? Allow us to break it all down for you here.
Forget the rides! Throw away the Genie+ guide (don’t actually — you might need that)! And walk past that merchandise. If you’re going to Disney World in 2023, there’s one big thing you may want to focus on — the SNACKS.
Hello, Beautiful
But where do you even begin?! You probably already know all about the famous Mickey-shaped waffles and pretzels, but there are dozens of snack kiosks and restaurants throughout the parks and hotels. Where do you go? What are the BEST snacks to get right now? Which ones do you need to add to your must-try list? Take a breath, friend. We’ve got you covered!
If you love coffee and sweets, there’s a brand NEW place you need to visit!
BoardWalk
Disney’s Boardwalk Inn is going through a period of big changes right now. There’s a renovation of the guest rooms that’s set to take place, the new Cake Bake Shop will be opening on the BoardWalk in 2023, and the recently opened Boardwalk Deli took the place of the former BoardWalk Bakery. In short, this Disney resort has been busy! Now, another major change happened.
Update: Park Pass availability continues to change. We’ve placed some updates in this post but continue to check for updates on Disney World’s Park Pass availability calendars.
If you’re hoping to go to Disney World in January of 2023, there’s one date that you’ll have to cross off from your plans.
EPCOT
All Disney World guests are still required to obtain a valid Park ticket and Park Pass for the park they wish to visit in order to enter. When all Park Passes for a particular day sell out, that’s IT — no more visiting Disney World on that day (unless availability changes). Well, if you’re heading to Disney World right now or really soon and you haven’t bought those tickets yet (or forgot to grab your Park Pass), there’s a big update you need to know about.
You’ve planned this Disney World trip for months, maybe even years, but at the last second…something happens that ruins your plans!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
This could especially be true during the holiday season when travel complications due to weather and other problems can arise. Whether you encounter a flight cancelation, a last-minute illness, or other problem that will force you to adjust your Disney World trip plans, you’ll need to know about Disney World’s cancelation policies, and we’ve got all the details here.
