food IS a theme park
Disney World has a few different services to make trips magical and accessible for all guests.
Animal Kingdom
From wheelchair- and ECV-accessible ride options to the offerings within the Disability Access Service, Disney works to include all guests in the magic. If you’re heading into Disney’s Animal Kingdom soon, there’s one special service that you may want to know about!
The 50th Anniversary of Disney World is ending soon, and things are disappearing left and right.
Cinderella Castle for the 50th Anniversary
With the official end to the celebration happening on March 31st, we’ve seen anniversary imagery removed from maps, decor removed from castle playsets, and souvenirs with warnings of their imminent departure. But, thankfully we have another exciting celebration to look forward to! The Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary is upon us, and the new celebrations are already rolling in — there’s even a new nighttime show coming to EPCOT! Recently, we spotted one fun way to get in on the party in Disney World — and it’ll only cost you $1.
Today, we’re talking about future-seeing talismans at Disney World, and no — not the crystal ball in the Haunted Mansion. That one seems to only work for Madame Leota.
Haunted Mansion
No, we’re talking about something MUCH easier for people like you and me to get our hands on, and it doesn’t require you to join Madame Leota for a seance or have horrific dreams with Sorcerer Mickey. This one is made of paper and can be found at merchandise locations, park entrances, and even front desks at the resort hotels. That’s right, we’re talking about park maps!
Every day is a great day when we have a chance to venture out to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

Disney World is full of surprises.
Tree of Life in Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Even for people who go to the parks all the time (hi, it’s us, we’re “people!”) no two days are alike. Since we are in Disney World every single day, imagine our surprise when we popped into Animal Kingdom recently and saw that something had changed!
Let’s get you up to speed on all the latest tips and tricks to make sure your vacation is the best it can be! Walt Disney World has gone through a LOT of changes and it’s difficult to stay updated on the insider tips that you need to know.
Magic Kingdom
You may already be familiar with the tried-and-true tips for Park Pass reservations and the Disney Genie service (though if you’re in need of a starting point, we have one for you here). We’ll cover all you need to know so that you feel prepared to actually enjoy your trip!
It’s time to review the BEST tips for your vacation. We have a lot to cover, so buckle up and let’s get started. [Read more…]
Genie+ has changed in an important way and you need to know about it!

We’ve seen Genie+ change quite a bit since it was first introduced. Back in December, Genie+ changed so you can modify selections, which has impacted the 120-minute rule in a key way. But now another change has hit the system.
There’s a LOT going on with the Walt Disney Company right now.
Cinderella Castle
Bob Iger has instituted some massive restructuring, there have been a variety of changes with the executive leadership, and more adjustments are surely on the way. Amidst all of that, Disney is in the middle of some big lawsuits — one of which involves Annual Passholders and the Park Pass system, and we’ve got some important updates about it.
Want to visit Disney World during the slow season? Well, you’re going to want to wait.
Things are BUSY in Disney World right now
Although crowds and wait times have really depended on whether there was a holiday or special event that week, now we’ve seen a HUGE jump in the wait times along with spring break crowds! This comes right before the soft opening (and official opening) of TRON Lightcycle / Run, the grand opening of Roundup Rodeo BBQ, and so much more.
Spring Break has arrived in Disney World, and so have the Spring Break crowds!
EPCOT
So what does that mean? Well, it means that if you’re going to Disney World in a week or so, you should be prepared with EVERY last bit of information need. That means knowing park hours, as well as having your advance dining reservations and park pass reservations already made. We’re going to take a look at those hours for next week, as well as park pass availability, and if you’re an Annual Passholder, we’ve got a little bit of bad news.
