food IS a theme park
Are you headed to Disney World next week?
We hope you’re not staying at THIS hotel during your trip!
You’ve got some exciting things to look forward to, like the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, which kicks off on March 1st. But you need to have your park pass reservations booked and know what park hours are for the week. That’s okay, though, because we’re here to help with park pass availability and park hours for the week of February 26th-March 4th.
Okay, let’s face it — not all Disney World pizza is great. In fact, a lot of it is just…well, it’s enough to scratch the itch, we suppose.
Terra Treats
There are standout pizzas, though, including the pizza at Via Napoli at EPCOT, but pizza like that tends to be the exception to the rule — AND requires an advance dining reservation. However, we just found a quick-service pizza in Disney World that totally surprised us — in a good way.
Buckle up friends — Park Pass changes are coming soon to Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
Disney previously announced that an important Park Pass change would be made for Disney World Annual Passholders that would provide them with more flexibility when entering the parks. But, at that time Disney only shared that the change would be made within the next few months. Now, we’ve got an official start date!
“Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba Sithi uhm ingonyama.” Yep, we’re singing that iconic Zulu introduction to “Circle of Life” because that song reminds us of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. (Also, yes, we googled how to spell the lyrics.)
The Tree of Life
We can’t help it — it’s the song that comes to mind every time we look up at the gorgeous Tree of Life. We’ll also admit to hearing it often because we LOVE Festival of the Lion King. Animal Kingdom just has something the other Disney World parks don’t — it’s got a relaxed vibe, LOADS of animals, cheeseburger pods, and lots of trees (and that means shade, which other parks are sorely lacking). So let’s head on over to this chill park and see what’s new!
When it comes to buffets, your experience can either be really good, or really bad. Usually, there’s no in between. Whether you can’t get over how amazing the food was, or you can’t get over how bad the stomach ache was, there’s a lot of talk about buffets — especially at Disney!
You’ll find many a Mickey Waffle at Disney World breakfast buffets!
The good thing about Disney buffets is that some of them actually rank pretty high in our list of favorite restaurants at Disney in general! Yes, they’re that good! To save you some time (and some disappointment) we decided to rank every buffet in Disney World!
Here’s proof that it’s SUPER busy in Disney World this weekend!
Disney Genie
Typically, holiday weekends tend to bring extra crowds to the Disney World parks. And it looks like this President’s Day weekend is no exception! In fact, it’s so busy in Disney World that we just experienced a first for Disney Genie+.
Sometimes major rides close temporarily in Disney World due to technical difficulties or bad weather in the area. But there are also scheduled closures that last much longer than those brief, unplanned interruptions.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
One such closure is happening this week, and it might impact your next Disney trip in a big way! Check out this full list of Disney World ride and attraction closures so that you’re prepared before you head out the door. [Read more…]
Are you ready?
Crowds
If you’re heading to Disney World soon, beware! The crowds are already starting to pick back up. We saw the highest price for Genie+ we have in WEEKS and that price is based on demand. We’ve also noticed more crowds in the parks as people flock to Disney World for the holiday weekend. Spring break is right around the corner as well. But what were the wait times like in the calm before the storm?
If you’re headed to Disney World soon, keep reading because there are some important things you need to know.
