food IS a theme park
Picture it: You’ve just finished riding Avatar: Flight of Passage, and your next Lightning Lane isn’t until 1:30PM, when suddenly, your stomach starts grumbling.
Tree of Life in Disney World
There are a lot of places you could eat in Animal Kingdom, but it can be difficult to know where to start! Well, we’ve got you covered! We’ve already ranked ALL of the restaurants in this park, but today we’re taking a close look at one particular item to see if it’s worth your cash!
If you’re hoping to buy and use Disney’s Genie+ service, get ready for some potential price INCREASES.
Disney Genie
Disney has announced that the cost of the “standard” Genie+ service will now vary depending on when you visit (much like how theme park tickets vary depending on the day, based on expected demand). And now it looks like those price increases for Genie+ have arrived.
When it comes to Disney World, changes are coming — and they don’t stop coming!
Mickey at Tusker House
Just recently we’ve seen price increases hit the parks and resorts on everything from bottled water and special experiences to SEVERAL Disney World restaurants…again. Three character dining experiences are included in those restaurant price increases — and we’re sharing all the details you need to know.
Price increases are hitting Disney World again, folks.
Watch out for those menu price increases
We just saw that prices are going up for private photo shoots, some Star Wars experiences, food, and more in Disney World. And now, prices are also going up for drinks around the parks.
You may need to add a little more flexibility to your budgets because some CHANGES are happening when it comes to Disney World costs.
Disney Genie
Price increases have already been put into effect for Savi’s Workshop and Droid Depot, along with hidden price increases for tickets in 2023, and increases to special experiences like private photo shoots. But now a service you may have been planning to use in Disney World is also getting more expensive, depending on when you visit.
An occupational hazard of working in the Disney World parks every day is that we have to resist the temptation to purchase every fun new souvenir we find. Sometimes it’s not easy to limit ourselves to our merchandise budget!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
If you have the same problem that we do of a weak will when it comes to cool Disney items, you shouldn’t read this post. Seriously, just turn back now while you still can. Because on a recent trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we found more than 40 (!!) new souvenirs, including Minnie ears, a Loungefly backpack, and the cutest snack-themed plush EVER. [Read more…]
Although a holiday weekend isn’t a guarantee for large crowds in Disney World, it does make it more likely.
What are crowds like this weekend?
On previous holiday weekends, we’ve seen everything from large crowds to small crowds that surprised us. With Monday being a holiday, though, we have to wonder — what are the crowds like right now? Well, let’s find out!
Wait times have been increasing in Disney World recently, and we’ve also seen bigger crowds arriving in the parks.
Magic Kingdom
There’s a lot to do in Disney World in October, whether you like to check out all the holiday decor, eat limited-time treats, attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, or just enjoy the slightly cooler weather. It’s important to review the Disney World calendar before your visit and you still need a Park Reservation to get into a park — so we’ve compiled that info right here just for you!
It’s finally that season — no, we’re not talking about fall!
It’s Halloween time!
We’re talking about the season of change, and it’s been the season of change in Disney World for a WHILE. Between new restaurants, new attractions, and even more experiences coming to the parks — no two visits are alike right now. Luckily, we do all the hard work and keep track of it all, so let’s check out the biggest Disney World construction updates from this week!
We’re fully into spooky season now, and Disney has been putting on all the celebrations!
Mickey pumpkins!
You can go to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, eat all of those pumpkin snacks, grab some fun merch, or even take some pics in front of those awesome pumpkins. With all of these festivities, it might make the parks more crowded during this time. Let’s find out by checking out the wait times from this past week in Disney World!
