NEWS: Disney World Raises TRON Lightning Lane Price for the First Time Ever

By 2 Comments

Disney ditched its Genie+ service earlier this year, and it was replaced with Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass.

TRON Lightcycle / RUN Lighting Lane

Although the new service is, more or less, the same, it also offers the option to pre-book Lightning Lanes BEFORE your Disney World trip (seven days in advance for those staying at Disney World hotels and three days in advance for everyone else). The pricing for Lightning Lane Single Pass has remained similar to that of the Genie+ individual attraction selection, but we just noticed that a price increase is on the way!

9 NEW Rules For Disney World While Attendance Is Down

By 8 Comments

The landscape of Disney World is changing and we’re kinda here for it!

Magic Kingdom

On August 7th, the Walt Disney Company an earnings report revealed lower demand for the company’s domestic theme parks, including Disney World. Calling it “flat” theme park attendance, Disney Chief Financial Officer Hugh Johnston suggested that the theme park business is in a healthy spot, but slowing down at a tolerable rate. With massive expansions involving several beloved IPs on the horizon, this bump in the road is not expected to be permanent, so for those looking to take advantage of lower Disney World attendance, now’s the time.

8 Things Disney World Is Doing For the First Time in 2025

By 4 Comments

UPDATED January 2, 2025

Okay, so we already know SO MUCH NEW STUFF is coming to Disney World over the next few years. We’re getting an entire land in Magic Kingdom dedicated to Villains (y’all, we are so ready for that to just happen already). We’re even getting a new Cars land in that same park. Two lands in one park? YES!

Magic Kingdom

Over in Hollywood Studios, we’re getting a Monsters, Inc. land. PLUS we’re getting a new land in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, too, Pueblo Esperanza, that will have a new Encanto ride PLUS a new Indiana Jones ride. Okay, our heads are exploding. However, you’ll be able to do some things for the first time in 2025, too, so it could be a good year to book that trip!

Happy Halloween, everyone! It’s been Halloween in Disney World since August, and we’ve been enjoying all the spookiness in the parks.

Hitchhiking Ghosts at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

Of course, we’re most excited about all the fall and Halloween snacks that get released this time of year, but we especially love this season in Magic Kingdom, which gets all decorated for the season. There’s also Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party to look forward to, but if you’ve been planning on going and put off getting tickets, we’ve got some bad news: EVERY single Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party date is now sold out for 2024.

BEWARE of the Loading Zone on These Two Disney World Rides

By 1 Comment

We all have our favorite Disney World rides.

Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom

We also have those rides that we tend to stay away from, whether they’re too scary (Tower of Terror can be terrifying for some people), too extreme (Mission: SPACE Orange is a BIT MUCH), too dizzying (hello, Mad Tea Party), or for other reasons. However, some rides just have loading areas that can be a little iffy, and we now have actual proof of two Disney World rides with slightly dangerous loading areas where you need to take extra care getting in and out of ride vehicles.

This Might Be The Most Hated Restaurant At Disney World, So Why Is It My Fave?

By 5 Comments

There are quite literally hundreds of restaurants in Disney World, and we’ve been to ALL of them.

Cinderella Castle

We’ve reviewed every restaurant in Disney World, and we continue to revisit them every once in a while to see if things have changed. Sometimes spots get new menus or new offerings, and sometimes we return to a place that we previously loved to find it a little bit disappointing. And throughout our 15 years of Disney food reviews, we’ve tried quite a few spots that are “hated” by most fans!

Well, another week has passed in Disney World, and how is it already the middle of September?

Mexican Chocolate and Horchata Verrine

Well, it is, and we’ve had another busy week of eating ALL the things in Disney World. You might find us, though, hanging out at the Happy Hour at The Edison some days in Disney Springs, although we did spend a little time getting to know the new menu at Pecos Bill in Magic Kingdom (and we’ll get to those changes in a bit). We also tried six NEW snacks in Disney World — and we have thoughts. Additionally, we spent some time digging through Disney World restaurant menus to track other changes, so let’s get to the menu updates.
