We’ve seen shortages of merchandise and some food items, and there have been some transportation issues that could impact your trip as well. We’re taking a look now at all of the ways that supply issues could affect your next Disney World vacation. [Read more…]
There are a lot of different rides in Disney World. Some are nice and slow. Others will jostle you around a bit but aren’t too intense. Some will give you a bit of that thrill factor. And others will truly have you screaming!
Thunder Mountain
Not all rides are created equal, and if you struggle with motion sickness, there are a few at Walt Disney World that you’ll probably want to avoid! We made a list of eight that you’ll likely want to steer clear of if your stomach tends to get queasy with too much motion.
Part of planning a Disney World trip is knowing which rides and attractions you want to visit while you’re there. There are all kinds of options, including shows, roller coasters, boat rides, and more.
Walt Disney World Railroad
Sometimes these attractions will be unavailable for a while when Disney is working on some refurbishments or improvements on them. To make sure you know what to expect before your trip, we made a list of everything that will be closed in Disney World next week. Check it out so that you aren’t caught off guard during your vacation! [Read more…]
Disney Springs is home to a lot of great dining, from quick-service options like Chicken Guy! and Polite Pig to sit-down restaurants like Wine Bar George and Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’.
Disney Springs
But one of the secret gems in this shopping and dining center is a sandwich shop called Earl of Sandwich. This place serves some of the BEST sandwiches in Disney World and probably anywhere. It makes sense — the owner is descended from the actual inventor of sandwiches! We stopped by to try a limited-edition item that’s made especially for all the plant-based eaters out there.

Disney is no stranger to new technologies, and they’re often among the first to dive in and utilize the latest advancements. From new ride and entertainment systems to the Disney+ streaming service to an entire metaverse, Disney has pioneered ground-breaking tech in the past, and they’re continuing to do so now.
Computer by the Computer Pool!
One of the latest trends in digital media is creating and trading NFTs, which are non-fungible tokens (sort of like digital trading cards). Turns out, Disney is building a stronger presence in this industry as well, with a NEW limited-edition NFT collection. [Read more…]

If you fly to Disney World, the first stop of your vacation is probably the Orlando International Airport. (And if you’re lucky, you might get to hug an adorable pup while you’re there.)
Orlando International Airport
This airport is usually very busy since Orlando has so many tourist attractions. In fact, the airport is currently working on another terminal in order to better accommodate the crowds and flights. It’s no surprise that it feels so crowded here right now: According to one report, the number of flights that will pass through the Orlando International Airport this quarter is up by almost 10,000 from the same time last year.
